When facing a strong incumbent who is likely to win, both parties run weak candidates who "deserve their shot." Career pols that excite no one, like Bob Dole, John Kerry and Mitt Romney. Dems didn't think they could beat W so they didn't try.
This NYT Obit of VP Cheney mentions something that seems impossible in retrospect: That he and GWB were re-elected *after* it was proved there were no WMDs in Iraq.

God damn, David Byrne is glorious. So playful, fun, sincere. Surrounded by incredibly talented folks, too. My face hurts from smiling.
I’m so excited I can’t properly frame photos!
I’ll (probably not) see you there! But I’ll know we were in the same building.
Open challenge to crossword puzzle creators: Make ONE puzzle without the word "orca." I swear it's in every NYT puzzle.
No way this doesn’t lead to ad-based or subscription-based not dying from cancer.
Source Code and Oblivion are a great double feature!
Showed my daughter Little Shop of Horrors today. Practically perfect, the pinnacle of practical effects and dynamite casting.

Ah, so you're a noble warrior on a crusade to tell people what they already know, assuming they aren't doing anything to stop it and aren't aware of the problem?

Ok buddy.
I spent hours on my Old Flattop costume. Monkey finger, juju eyeball, toe jam football, Coca Cola squirt gun… nobody got it.
oh yes. I almost never venture beyond my OnlyPosts feed, which is just the original posts (no reposts),
The. Single. Thing. that makes Bluesky great is the lack of a fucking algorithm. I guess go ahead and make it like every other shitty site so I can be free of it?

My dude, you're breaking Wheaton's Law TO WHEATON'S FACE. Don't be a dick.
Yeah, I work in marketing and it's all "content consumption," which sounds like a disease, and "consuming content," which sounds like a Conehead describing eating.
When Dems are in power they support the social safety net, consumer protections, bodily autonomy, and LGBTQ+ rights.

When Republicans are in power they seek to dismantle all of the above.

They're not the same.
My last four - almost done with my Nightmare on Elm Street rewatch (reviewed them out of order but watched in sequence), and the new IKWYDLS is solid if not thrilling.

Wow, that's an impressive level of pedantry to make the same point I'm making. Enjoy your life.
Not following the context here.
All I can say is their chittering noises are enough to drive you mad.
It’s so hard to break their narrative that the streets were unsafe and the goon squads make it safer. But the truth is ICE and the rest make people demonstrably less safe.
We might have survived the Quinoa attack if they hadn't unleashed The Chitterlings.
We just need a bunch of seed money to start our marketing consultancy... but it's hard to raise money from billionaires to promote a no billionaires platform :)
The state of modern media:
I'm watching the Nightmare on Elm Street series.
HBO Max has all of them EXCEPT Freddy's Dead.
None of the 5 services I pay for has that one.
But I just got it on disc!
But they sent UltraHD instead of Blu-Ray.
But the box set came with a digital code!
