Finally finished Dark. Wild ride that took a good deal of commitment to stay with it. Loved the finale. Agree that no season 4 is needed. I could take another knot

Bagging is an art. I embrace it.
Add in how packaging has shrunk but the prices go up.
Beans that used to be 16oz are now 15oz; OJ that used to be 64oz is now 52oz. 12 packs of a beverage are now an 8-pack.
Also why paying attention to unit price is so important.

Fondly recall eating mystery meat (aka salisbury steak) in an aluminum plate looking at the ancient dead flies that populated the bottom of our RCA tv screen.
I grew up in the late 60s and 70s. I *never* thought I had it harder than my parents, because for "photographs" existed, and I saw my parents and their homes in the 40s and 50s. I thought those times looked *awful* and I still do. But people who complain now relentlessly idealize the past.

Just back from seeing old friend Steve Earle perform next door in Montclair. Grizzled, sure, but sounding better than ever, 50 years down the road. He closed with City of Immigrants -- about as good an answer as I've heard to the MAGA blood and soil fascists. Listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=75H8...

The entire scene looks like Norman Rockwell painted The Death of Empathy, directed by Jeffrey Dahmer and executive produced by Satan. Hang this next to The Scream and the painting would lean over and whisper, Is that guy okay.

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

Lower rents more available units…win win.
The New York Post and Daily Mail are using a poll from a Republican-leaning pollster to claim that 9 percent of New York City will definitely move if Mamdani wins tomorrow.
How seriously should you take that? Well, it theoretically includes 1 percent of Mamdani voters.

Any close race will do. Trump will scream “”rigged” gop faithless slugs will parrot right along. Get ready.
The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.
If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.
So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”
Because that IS what they are going to say.

It’s like taking a stack of hateful flyers you find in a neighborhood and then walking around and handing them out and adding, “Wow, did you see this? This is awful.” …But then they are still left holding the flyers YOU gave them.

The problem with Democrats in the Biden era wasn’t the content of the domestic policies, it was the total failure to sell them and to understand, manage, and master the media environment, especially social media.
This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.
The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

While looking for Halloween decorations I can across this old dusty yellow book. Apparently there used to be this giant corporation that collected and published everybody’s full name, address and personal phone number! They gave it out to anyone for free!

A couple weeks ago, as hundreds of thousands of Americans took to the streets in what may have been the largest single day of protest in U.S. history, the President of the United States responded by… posting a video of himself literally dumping shit on citizens. Not a policy response. Not an attempt at dialogue. Not even a coherent defense of whatever decisions prompted the protests.
