It comes with a lot of sides. The sides cure cancer.

She may be a serious person, but the filing deadline is in a week. Not announcing until now, not having raised money ... is unserious.

Bangor activist who wrote in chalk outside Sen. Collins home now running for Senate Andrea LaFlamme is officially launching her campaign for Senate.

No, LaFlamme launched her campaign last *week*. That's unusually late, and un-serious. www.wmtw.com/article/bang...

It is not so good that you need to return, but I do not feel the need to quit. (Matlock, however, may be near its end for me.)

Still triaging whether I can handle two reality cooking competitions right now, however.

Cute. Let's see SGA try to break Chamberlain's record from the 1961-62 season when he averaged 48.5 minutes/game. (He played every OT, but was ejected from one game for sassing a ref with 8 min to go.)

Wilt also had eight double-quadruples in his career (40+ pts, 40+ boards). No one else has any.

Every episode helps me understand Alan's review that much more. Everything outside the bunker is more interesting than anything inside the bunker.

I haven't revisited it in a few years, but it's possible that Lincoln is the least-great of the four (but for the fact that it's DDL doing DDL things). Who the hell decides, "I want to remake West Side Story" and pulls it off *that* well?

More and more people are recognizing The Fabelmans as top-tier Spielberg. His daring at this stage of his career, his introspection, it's just fantastic. I think about that last confrontation by the lockers a lot.

Fantasy football: Early winners, losers after the first day of free agency Free agency is here, and the fantasy football landscape is changing rapidly with each skill-position signing. Here are the early winners and losers for 2026 leagues.

My thoughts on who had their fantasy value increase and decrease today from free agency.

It makes sense; Gen X grew up with fewer choices (tv, music) and were forced into the classics, reruns, monoculture of our parents; then the 80s and 90s broadened things (cable tv, hip hop, video rentals) but we were still more homogenous and less siloed than what the streaming era has created.

Bob Hope still had four primetime specials in 1992. When he was 89.

Donald O'Connor didn't need CGI to make movie magic. The Nicholas Brothers sure didn't need CGI to make movie magic.

(I was almost going to link to someone else and then I watched the last part again and, holy shit. Still.)

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Judge Brann was nominated at the recommendation of Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) in 2012 as part of a bipartisan package; he was active in FedSoc and the NRA.

Among his notable rulings, Judge Brann is the one who heard and dismissed Rudy Giuliani's unhinged election law claims after the 2020 election.

Yeah, something changed. I just want to emphasize that this is someone who decidedly didn't suck before he was an elected official. Republicans** literally wrote a book to warn their side about how well they figured out building power in CO.

They should run a 2-QB backfield with Bijan, two WRs and [Pitts or Pitts replacement].

Progressive gang uses nonprofits to push politics Progressive gang uses nonprofits to push politics

What's so weird about this is that Polis was essential ~20 years ago in getting the first statewide progressive donor alliance off the ground. They understood the need for our side to get involved in building infrastructure via 501c3s and c4s, like our opponents had been doing, to reclaim power.

Absolutely could have been more lurid and freakier, but obviously part of the appeal was that neither broadcast nor cable were doing anything at that artistic or psychological level at that time. Back then, scripted cable shows were, of course, "it's a sitcom ... but with some nudity."

How about Wiseguy and Crime Story as "could've been streaming," or is it too much of a cheat to say that any network show which showed interest in the criminal mindset would've done better without the constraints of traditional network tv?

Writers Guild Awards: Winners List 'Sinners,' 'One Battle After Another,' 'The Pitt,' 'The Studio' and 'Dying for Sex' were among the winners at the Roy Wood Jr.-hosted ceremony, held Sunday night in New York.

Delighted that the #WGAAwards for best writing for an animated series went to Mehar Sethi for the LONG STORY SHORT (Netflix) episode β€œShira Can’t Cook." just a wonderful, sweet, funny, sad half-hour about parents and children, food and faith.
