Move right? Move left? Drop certain issues? Highlight others? Those all matter but not as much as simply waiting for the party-in-power to become unpopular.

These results underscore why Dems need good 2026 Senate cands in those "reach" states (IA NE OH TX FL AK SD): their coalition is now super-charged for off-year elections. Reliable, high educ, suburban voters have steadily moved to Dems. And if indies disapprove of Trump, map gets crazy real quick.

All the neighborhood houses conspiring together to each give Charlie Brown a rock is just a tremendous commitment to the bit.

Ozymandias but instead of trunkless legs of stone in the sand it's a presidential library submerged in the rising seas of climate change.

Just caught up on the "Best in Show" Rewatchables and thought you'd like to know Christopher Guest *did* turn a mockumentary idea into a TV show: "Family Tree" on HBO. Alas, it was Zazlav-ed from HBOMax but random clips are still on Youtube.

When a TV show isn't renewed for another season, it's common parlance to say it has been canceled by the network. Which I think you know...

Just as GOTG director James Gunn was un-fired by Disney after its deal to purchase Fox was finalized, I wonder if CBS will eventually un-cancel Stephen Colbert's Late Show

Lots of negativity surrounding the new animatronic at Disneyland but I think it's quite a lovely tribute to Mr. Belvedere

I had to discuss an issue with the Registrar this morning so I literally walked to her office to talk because making a call through my computer seemed excessively complicated.

The college took away our office phones and they expect us to make all calls through Microsoft Teams on our laptops now....

Why do you need to go into that tech coffin to talk to the Entity? It's the Entity, it's everywhere! Can't it make a YouTube video or a TikTok? Is there no Zoom in the M:I universe?

It's very funny that if you watch Andor, Rogue One, and A New Hope all back-to-back, the rebels learn about the Death Star, steal its plans, and blow it up within about 48 hours time.
