The Ds threw the working class on the train track in the '90s then proceeded to engineer the train over them for capitalism sake for 30+yrs
Their message has been clear & received with a proper amount of disillusion, disdain, & apathy it deserves.

Hey National Democrats and Progressives trying to figure out how to message:
Watch AOC and Mark and Jumaane and, I’m sure, Zohran’s speeches from today. It’s rare to hear such clear and inspiring messages about hope and power in politics.

I did a (very informal) data analysis of the screenplays for the first three (of six) Thin Man films a few years ago. With 152 mentions of 17 key terms like “drink” or “cocktail” in the first film alone, trying to pace with Nick and Nora is a death wish! Stay safe, drink responsibly, and cheers! 🍸

The mix of textures & flavor profile is interesting. Bananas have no "bite" but add sweetness. The curry if not savory seems like it would make it too sweet
