Over the past 2 years, Republican-controlled states have been quitting the Electronic Registration Information Center like it's going out of style. Conspiracy theorists insist that it is some sort of liberal front for controlling elections. In reality, it is just a way of making sure that someone isn't registered to vote in two states at the same time. I'm just glad that Evers is there to veto the bill.

I don't have a say in the matter since I don't live in Milwaukee but I like what he's done so far. I look forward to 20 more years of him in office.

Theaters like The Oriental, The Downer, The Times, and The Avalon are damn treasures. Unlike Marcus and AMC theaters (with their dozen screens and acres of parking), the indie theaters were built at a neighborhood scale. I really like being able to walk or bike to a theater on a Sunday afternoon. In recent memory, we've lost The Downer, The Fox Bay, and the Rosebud. The Rivoli Theatre up in Cedarburg has stayed open by leaning on a committed group of volunteers and community fundraising. Last year, the folks who own The Fox Bay tried to get $773,000 from the Downtown Incentive Grant program to help pay for the renovation and reopening of it. This summer the Fox Bay Theater opened its doors for a short high school film festival. I'm hoping that non-profit community groups (like Milwaukee Film) and community involvement can save as many of these places as possible.

Meet the Meetups (Oct 3, 6pm-9pm) (www.eventbrite.com)

The pandemic did a number on the meetup ecosystem in Milwaukee. Meet the Meetups is meant to help spread the word about the tech-focused meetups in greater Milwaukee. If you are interested in getting involved in a tech meetup (Agile, Javascript, .NET, etc) you should swing by on the 3rd and take a look.

The beauty of the fediverse is that you are using lemmy, I'm using kbin, and the two interoperate. :)

Every time I walk past that structure, I wonder why the performing arts center hasn't rebuilt it, yet. I guess if it is owned by the city, that would explain it.
