“America needs a 12th Winnie Winkle movie!”

Wave elections don't just happen on their own: they happen because of the strategic decisions of high quality candidates. Democrats will be fielding strong candidates in next year's midterms, while Republicans will have a weaker than usual class. The dynamics are set long before Election Day.

Republicans, also expecting a wave election, are unable to recruit high quality candidates (so far, NJ-11, there's a total of one announced Republican), and face lots of retirements (see yesterday's story in Politico), leading to more open seats to defend.

Whether you're in NJ-11 or not, this is a good sign for Democrats, and a bad one for Republicans. Democrats are coming out of the woodwork to run because they're expecting a wave election, and want to ride that wave as best they can.

Also, while I knew Allen Ginsberg was from Paterson, I did not expect him to show up repeatedly(identified only by initials) in “Paterson.”

We don’t have it here. The Spanish are out pacing us in bad pizza technology (I blame Trump’s cuts to basic research funding).

We have polled this repeatedly. Residents love it. 65% favor. About as popular as full service gas. It’s not going anywhere.
Though the American Dream nonsense might lead to some legislative attention.

I just saw that it’s on a croissant crust as well. I’m not excluding the idea that you could make fish on a pizza taste good (some people like anchovies, even if I’ve never met them), but this ain’t it.

Are they baking the smoked salmon? Or just putting it on afterwards? Either way, seems awful.

Great way to put it. They tell us which narratives people have internalized.

The alternative was “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore,” and they don’t have good gifs of that one.

I was going to say. Old NJ-11 had more areas that looked like 7 than the new version does.

I worry about the implied causation of the item. I have to imagine, for a lot of folks, how I feel comes first, then I pick an issue that I believe justifies that position.
So, I think it is telling us something, even if it isn’t what we’d really like to know.

Could we say that he’s…Trolling?

The current plan is to have an appointed Director of each school, and a separate Associate Director for personnel matters. Assumably, they’ll have a group of assistant directors for scheduling and such.
(Which is why no one is claiming that this’ll save money).

Should not be a surprise that a school board that somehow spent $20 million it didn’t have doesn’t know what it’s doing, but I didn’t realize just how bad they were at their jobs.
Matt Kadosh at Montclair Local’s coverage has been great.

What I hadn’t previously noticed is that the questions are also missing the interpretative statements required by NJ Law.
