It's Late is my favorite Queen deep track. Just a fabulous record.

CADDYSHACK is one of the greatest comedies ever, especially when you learn Ted Knight was genuinely annoyed with Rodney Dangerfield while making the movie. Knight would rehearse and memorize his lines to a T, while Dangerfield would improv and continue to come up with ad-libbed one-liners. Knight especially hated Rodney's "We're all gonna get laid" line he made up on the spot 😂

A couple days ago, I posted jobs numbers from the past 6 presidents, 3 Republican (Bush I, Bush II, and Trump) and 3 Democratic (Clinton, Obama, and Biden). Over 20 years, nearly 50 million jobs were added under the 3 Democratic presidents, whereas only 2 million have been added under the aforementioned Republicans, over the course of 17 years, 8 months. A good percentage of MAGA responders said something along the lines of, "The Democrat Party only added government jobs! Look at the private sector!"
Very well.
First, let's look at public sector or government jobs.
George H.W. Bush (R, 4 years): +1.127M
Bill Clinton (D, 8 years): +1.934M
George W. Bush (R, 8 years): +1.744M
Barack Obama (D, 8 years): -263k
Donald Trump I (R, 4 years): -575k
Joe Biden (D, 4 years): +1.816M
Donald Trump II (R, 1 year, 8 months): -230k
Democratic Presidents (20 years): +3.487M
Republican Presidents (17 years, 8 months): +2.066M
Difference: Democrats +1.421M/Republicans -1.421M
Not much difference. Now let's move onto the private sector.
George H.W. Bush (R, 4 years): +1.502M
Bill Clinton (D, 8 years): +20.979M
George W. Bush (R, 8 years): -368k
Barack Obama (D, 8 years): +11.812M
Donald Trump I (R, 4 years): -2.19M
Joe Biden (D, 4 years): +13.589M
Donald Trump II (R, 1 year, 8 months): +1.006M
Democratic Presidents (20 years): +46.380M
Republican Presidents (17 years, 8 months): -50k
Difference: Democrats +46.430M/Republicans -46.430M
That's right, over the past 37 years, 8 months, Republican presidents are actually underwater, as far as private-sector jobs go, whereas Democrats are 46 million+ above it. No matter what the GOP tries to sell you on the old, tired narrative that they're better for the economy, the numbers tell a completely different story.

I would say that the responses to this post are shocking but sadly, they are not even slightly shocking anymore.
Just completely expected. Can't even be like 'it is bad that a guy did a mass shooting at a synagogue' without it being deluged with stuff like this. And it's certainly not just coming from the right...

You may like or dislike Waugh.
To deny that his prose is entrancingly impeccable would be almost preposterous.

I'm asking this sincerely: has anyone ... ANYONE in the Dearborn area gone on record and been like "we got 2024 wrong. Whatever disagreements we might have had with Kamala Harris pale in comparison to what our vote for Trump produced."

Vance went to Yale Law. He married an Indian immigrant. He has four biracial children. He was raised by a grandma who supported gay rights (in 1992). Both of his in-laws are college professors who live in California. He was a Lincoln Republican who likened Trump to Hitler.
Now he's what ever this is. And the depressing part? I think he's sincere. He melted his own brain.

(16mm color) MLB had two All-Star Games in 1959. This is from the 2nd one, which was held at the LA Coliseum on August 3rd. ⚾️From the @flagstafffilms home movie baseball archive.
I really hate it, but I take up or less popular ones like The Savage Curtain so I understand where you're coming from.
#allstartrek Robert Brown you glorious and magnificent actor. His portrayal of Lazarus is a real high point in a less than popular Star Trek episode. Though "The Alternative Factor" is one of my favorite episodes, I can see how others wouldn't like it as much as I do.

it is, perhaps, extremely bizarre in retrospect, that gay marriage was so unpopular that in 2008, the
ultraliberal state of CA voted to ban it, and barely five years later, gay marriage was legal nationwide and a supermajority of Americans approved of it

Here is a color photo taken by Carlos G. Lucero from nearly the same angle.
This photo only hints at how atmospheric Union Station #DLTA is. It opened in 1939, which is when this photo was taken. The info booth is the first thing you encounter as you enter. Past the archway is the waiting room where you can wait for your train on wide, comfy seating.

Countdown to Halloween means celebrating 1970s horror comics, a fabulous decade for horror anthologies. House Of Mystery, Tower Of Shadows & Ripley’s all had ingeniously eerie stories and superb artwork; those covers rarely get matched in today’s new comics. It was a golden era

Republicans can freely insult other peoples' faith w/o repercussion in ways that would result in a Chernobyl-level meltdown if a Democrat did the same. The media environment in America is so tilted toward Republicans, so reflexively anti-(big D) Democrat, it's not even funny.
