Mr. Ridley Kemp

Pretty sure Drake's last name is Streisand...

The back and forth dynamic is so much fun to watch and feels organic. The only time Aymeric doesn't have to be in charge is when he's alone with Lume and you can feel how badly he needs that.

I have to finally come out and say it: Torch songs sound less dated than classic rock.

Oh noes. I'm not in that one

It's brilliant.

If you want to understand Twitter and its effect on US politics, you kind of have to watch this video. It's not a pleasant thing to watch.

Agree 100%. Green Mile wasn't bad either. He doesn't work much, but when he does...

I know this is late, but c'mon. Letting HRC advise you on how to win against Trump is like asking asking Albert Lebrun how to stop the Nazi war machine.

I'm going to have to go with Shawshank as my favorite Kind adaptation, but I'm pretty vanilla.

Welcome, Blessed Siblings.

I was about the same age! I didn't get Charles; I just thought he was the funny guy who dressed better than everyone else

My wife and I unwind to the silliness of Richard Dawson and Brett Somers and try to guess which of the "celebrities" are the most drunk.

It's usually Gene.

Lume is the best, so if you're an artist in this particular niche and you somehow don't know her, here ya go!

10 📺 shows to get to know me:

Sure, I'll play (listed in no particular order):

* The Prisoner
* The Good Place
* Peep Show
* Futurama
* Arrested Development season 1-3
* Mr. Show
* Gravity Falls
* Rokuhōdō Yotsuiro Biyori
* Match Game (yes, the old game show)
* Black Mirror

I just had James Garner's daughter repost something I'd written that contained the worst typo (your/you're)...I'm thrilled and kind of want to crawl under a rock.

Awesome....typo in one of my favorite posts. %$#$%#^

An announcement from Court Street Coffee shop in Seguin, Texas, announcing that they will be permanently closed after 23 November, 2024

This breaks my heart. The presence of this friendly little coffee shop that flew the Pride flag 365 days a year was one of the things that persuaded us to move to this small Texas town. I hope they start a new endeavour nearby; these folks are the best.

U.S. Inflation Rate by President: From Eisenhower to Biden Here are the average year-over-year inflation rates by president, and the events and economic conditions that contributed to them.

(source: www.investopedia.com/us-inflation...)

* There seem to be pretty obvious macro trends that persist across administration.
* Reagan's "high" average rate was a huge drop from the Carter peak which surely helped him.
* Trump's net loss of jobs overshadowed inflation.

...maybe that would change it, but I doubt it would change much. Anyway, presidents and avg. inflation rates:

Eisenhower 1.4%
JFK 1.1%
LBJ 2.6%
Nixon 5.7%
Ford 8%
Carter 9.9%
Reagan 4.6%
HW Bush 4.3%
Clinton 2.6%
W Bush 2.8%
Obama 1.4%
Trump 1.9%
Biden/Harris 5.2%

...

...well, Kennedy wasn't, but only a cad would include him. My gut sense is that current economic conditions lead to punishing the current admin (I'm counting Harris w/Biden because she inherited his baggage).

Now, my lazy look at the #s isn't breaking things out by 4 year term.

...

I won't pretend this is analysis, it's just interesting information. Of the last 13 Presidents, 6 had average inflation rates over 4%. 7 had average rates under 3%.

2 of the 6 with high inflation were re-elected (Reagan and Nixon). Of the 7 with low inflation, only Trump wasn't re-elected.

...

Re-reading Transmetropolitan and crying. You?

One time I spent five minutes at lunch drawing a reverse centaur and it became one of my most retweeted pieces of art. I resented that so I deleted it but now it can be free again because not enough people follow me on here for it to go big

Brain? No work! Good today!

This is extremely, extremely niche, but I can't shake the feeling that Duncan Fegredo used "Life's What You Make It"-era Mark Hollis as his inspiration for the cover of "Kid Eternity."

Who could have guessed that a white supremacist with a messiah complex and a breeding kind would turn out to be MAGA?

This is all kinds of great. Strongly recommended.

at least their support of Zionism is intellectually consistent...

I'm not sure how that compares to the English "made redundant." There's something about passive tense that raises my hackles.

I got it and am loving it. "Speculative Poetry from a Possible Future" is such a perfect way to frame it.
