In my mind, that was driven by Gremlins and Temple of Doom, so I figured ROTJ followed, but it preceded those by a year, so maybe it led.

My hunch is that you had a set of filmmakers (or maybe just Spielberg and Lucas) who were a little bored with family friendliness and wanted to push boundaries to see how much of the gory comics they grew up with they could get into a modern movie. And what we wound up with was PG-13.

Peer pressure from Gremlins and Temple of Doom.

Because I can tell y’all need some serious distraction:

I’ve dropped the ebook price for the first of Richard Stark’s Parker novels, The Hunter, to $2.99. Buy it direct below, or from any major ebook retailer.

You won’t regret it.

Historical Census of Housing Tables: Gross Rents These Historical Census of Housing Tables: Gross Rents tables are from the Decennial Census.

I believe gross rent is the standard measure when using census data.

I think that bar chart is comparing metro areas, so it wouldn't be affected by weird jurisdiction boundaries.

Dennis P. Culhane - Academic Profile Research and publications in social policy, housing policy, and homelessness

Inflection points between rental affordability and homelessness levels might get you there. dennisculhane.com?article=infl... The math is a little beyond me this morning. Only associational, not a mechanisms paper, I think.

It overlapped with a teacher in service day here, so the kids were out for it too

The worst are days when you can't quite get the pangram and so you just put different parts of words together and then you get it, but you're also like -- that's not a word!

I'll forever be grateful for the time I worked for Rick. His passion, generosity, and curiosity continue to inspire me.

I'm not sure. We're users of PV now. The team that maintains it shifted to ITS a few years ago. Have you checked the open data portal?

The way that's always been useful for me to think about it is that housing explains what areas have high homelessness, but that individual factors like you're identifying determine who in those areas may become homeless.

Probably Office of Performance Management, plus various innovation initiatives across different administrations.

Are you taking requests? Nashville MSA would be interesting.

"Dessert steak" is entering the lexicon, next to "meat as condiment."

The Limey is definitely what I rewatch the most. But Schizopolis will always have a special place in my heart. I just can't afford to pay full theater price every time I watch it.

There's access to Richland Creek from the Greenway at McCabe Park. Further out, Beaman Park
