This South Carolina/Texas A&M score is rather funny considering I'm working a full on Texas A&M wedding today.

Straight-ticket voting is an incredibly high hurdle for a Democrat in a statewide election. Jones won in 2017 because 1) the only other choice was Roy Moore, who lots of Republicans despised 2) Dems came out in droves 3) GOP turnout was depressed, especially in the Wiregrass.
I thunk if Jones jumps in then you have all the evidence you need the envirownt is hitting near cataclysm for the GOP. Even then he's not favored to win in AL.
Doug Jones won before & if you doubt he can do it again, you’re not paying attention to Alabama.
Tuberville has a record, but so does Jones.
If Jones jumps in, the contrast couldn’t be greater. A real Alabaman who prosecuted a KKK cold case vs Florida man who treats the state like rental property.

I revisited "Uncle Buck" and decided to write a little bit about how John Candy's performance, of course, carries this movie.

Anyways… we made it to Houston a while ago…
Driving 10+ hours and going through places like Lafayette, Lake Charles, and Beaumont before getting to Houston made me feel like I was working for Bill Watts in the Mid-South territory.

Amy, once again, brings the heat.
No bleaker satire than making it through THE RUNNING MAN, past end credits of a raised fist with “Together Against the Network,” to see the words: A Skydance Corporation.
Or maybe there is, if someone makes a documentary about what Edgar Wright may have had to cut.

Review: Edgar Wright's 'The Running Man' limps into theaters too relevant to be any fun
Stephen King’s 1982 techno-dystopian novel no longer feels sci-fi, making this remake trip over its own feet. (It's still better than the Schwarzenegger version.)

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Ok but this answer leads to a more important follow-up question:

I can tell you what will happen should Doug Jones enter the governor's race, because we saw it happen in 2020: Tommy Tuberville will go into hiding and count on straight-ticket voting and Alabama's right-wing media to do the work for him.
Johnson: Run, Doug, Run. In a real race, Tommy Tuberville might trip over himself
The former U.S. Senator and Democrat lost to the former football coach in 2020. Same state, but vastly different times.

Yep, studios were broken by internet nitpickers and think normal audiences would not be perfectly happy to see Different Handsome Brit walk in and say “Bond, James Bond” whilst holding onto the delusion that a Kangaroo is a Martini.
this kind of feels like freaking out over a problem that 95% of the audience is not going to have an issue with

My first Star Trek entry to Cinema Daze is the best of the Star Trek films because it is the film that forces Kirk to face his own mortality and the mortality of those he loves.

i don’t play pundit and try to guess how stuff will play to voters whose politics generally make no sense to me, but if ending the shutdown was about the important business of getting SNAP benefits and air travel back online, it also rewards hostage taking in a way that seems pretty ominous to me

My confidence in flying after this weekend's experience has resulted in me committing to driving to Houston this week for Saturday's wedding.
That's where we're at right now.

So... I go to Savannah yesterday just fine, and the shoot went great.
Getting home was a different story.
Long story short - with a stoppage in Atlanta because of weather and everything else - I got to drive a Mustang for the first time ever to do the 5+ hours between Savannah and Birmingham.

So many tradCaths are converts who want to impose a reactionary priesthood of believers on the hierarchy, in which the laity must submit to conservative messaging is obeyed and treat messages as areligious.

Immigration is a central if not primary feature of American Catholicism. For its often-awful flaws, it gave people new to these shores a sense of belonging and dignity in a country frequently determined to deny them both. This is antithetical to nearly two centuries of religious practice.
