A local school board recall election had a very different outcome than the Virginia governor's race.
The Wisconsin cities of Mequon and Thiensville in Ozaukee County, north of Milwaukee, share a school district and therefore, a school board. (For ancient demographic reasons, Thiensville is completely surrounded, like the hole in a doughnut, by the city of Mequon.) Recently, the Mequon-Thiensville School District has been roiled by controversy over the necessary measures—school closures, masking—the school board took to combat the pandemic. Because Wisconsin used to have good ideas by the bucketful, there are extensive procedures in the state for recall elections. These procedures have been used so extensively over the past year that Wisconsin had more recall petitions lodged against more school-board members than any state except California. But there also is something else about this spate of recall elections. They've all lost. Every damn one of them. On Tuesday night, in the Mequon-Thiensville School District, another one of these little tantrums collapsed.

So when Bonobos announced it was revamping its Stretch Washed Chino, a go-to pant for a whole bunch of guys, it was inevitable that a few feathers would be ruffled. So I should probably note at the outset where I'm coming from, lest those fans start heating up some tar to go with those ruffled feathers: I was never all that big on the first version. But now that the Stretch Washed Chino 2.0 has arrived, it's made me a convert. And it might just make you a convert, too. Here's why. Stop hesitating and get that headphone upgrade you've always wanted. Stop stressing out about dropping your phone in the tub. Two weeks ago, at the world premiere of Marvel's 26th film, The Eternals, we finally reached an inevitable point in this journey. Journalists leaked the big post-credits moment: Harry Styles is joining the MCU as Thanos's brother. Fans rejoiced and/or tried to cancel the journalists. Now, as The Eternals readies for its release into theaters everywhere this Thursday, to the tune of some of the worst reviews a Marvel-branded flick has yet seen, it might just be the film's post-credits scenes that hit the loudest crescendo in the superhero fandom. Friends, filmmakers, and even you, Harry Styles, it's time: We need to kill the post-credits scene. |
