For years when my political friend group would talk about Cuomo running for President (before the allegations) I would always say it'd end in disaster for this reason: New York voters ignored over a decade of constant scandals and Cuomo being one degree away from massive corruption investigations and just slipping by, but national voters wouldn't. Now we'll see if I was wrong about New York voters while in the national spotlight.

I'm one of the rare defenders of Enterprise mostly because I just really like Bakula in the role of a gruffer, more inherently American early Captain, so while I hate all these prequels and midquels and stuff they keep pumping out, I would probably watch if Bakula reprised the role.

I had exactly the same thought, please for the love of God do not recruit Lamb to run against Fetterman. I never really trusted Fetterman or any "cult of personality" type politician, but the only reason I wanted him to become a Senator was to keep Lamb from reviving the Blue Dog wing of the Senate.

"Queen" has historically often been used as a slur against specifically gay men in American culture, the OP's context is an example of that.

Yeah, as an American (the South, even) I can tell you that somebody angrily calling a gay couple queens if she is not herself part of the LGBTQIA+ community would not generally be something accepted here. It is a term many queer people embrace for themselves, but is still often used as a slur by an aging populace and not something a straight cis person should say.

As a Virginian, I absolutely feel the pain of New Jersey Democrats. The way the party always shits its pants with awful centrists the second they lose a national election...

An absolute classic!

Zachary Levi has to be one of the absolute least likable celebrities out there. From his vocal anti-vax views to his weird Christian libertarianism to his support of RFK Jr, every time he lets more about himself and his views be known the less I ever want to see him in another project again let alone hear another interview.

This is a classic, love Mark Hollis so much but particularly partial to the jazzy, experimental fragile proto-post-rock soundscapes that came on the Talk Talk or solo albums that followed.

This album meant so much to me when it came down and I still have most of the lyrics to most of the songs memorized to day, but quite frankly I am not at all a "separate the art from the artist" person, I believe the artist fundamentally imprints themselves in all of their art and however minor I'm never going to do something to financially support somebody with Kanye's views and statements, so I just simply do not listen to any Kanye anymore and if I did it would be via torrent.

This post made me look at just how many different Russ Meyer films are on IA and obviously I gotta watch all of them now, one the true kings of camp filmmaking.

Yeah this book immediately went on my Wishlist after I read this article, incredibly interesting stuff
