It's like they all became more traditional sitcom characters, reduced to enacting broad traditional sitcom tropes and behaviors. Hard not to feel some of that is due to the loss of Lawrence's guiding hand.

Is this AMC's greatest song? They have so many greatest songs, but this is certainly one of the songs that can be considered their greatest song.

Albums in question would be Fisherman's Blues and Room to Roam

The Waterboys going deep on country and trad Irish.

Seems apt that a scholar with the surname Baynes should be engaging with Lewis.

Love how the only thing connecting the text messages to Atlanta and Willis are the pictures they put next to them on the poster. No wonder they dropped that thing like a hot potato and tried to bluster through.

all he has to do is post a couple of selective clips and the received wisdom on right-wing social media will be* that he exposed Smith and Willis's corrupt, treasonous dealings. *it's probably already the case, this shit spreads like wildfire with accelerant airdropped over everything

To be fair, it frequently only needs hazy insinuation with no actual alleged crime to gin up a scandal cycle.

He was explicitly tying it to the day after Fani Willis copped to her affair, right? Aside from just attaching Smith to her bad judgment, I'm stumped as to what nefarious activity they're supposed to have been "colluding" on .

long road ahead for whichever neo-Nazi Trump staffer is tasked with doing brain surgery on the AI-powered America-dot-gov site

A screenshot from America.gov showing a question and answer about tariffs.

Header: America.gov with a small U.S. flag and a "Menu" button.

Question in a light blue bubble: "Who pays for tariffs on goods being imported to America, American importers or foreign exporters?"

Answer text: "U.S. importers pay the tariff to the government. Foreign exporters do not pay U.S. Customs.

• When goods enter the United States, the importer of record is legally responsible for any duty. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
• CBP collects that duty at the port of entry. CBP: customs duty
• A tariff is a tax on imported goods. Who ultimately bears the cost in prices (importer, U.S. buyer, or foreign seller) depends on the market; that is separate from who must pay CBP. BLS

Duty rates come from the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. CBP makes the final determination of what is owed."

America.gov Menu Who in America is entitled to due process? The U.S. Constitution says the government may not deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. The Fifth Amendment applies that rule to the federal government. The Fourteenth Amendment applies the same rule to state governments. Official annotations treat this as covering persons, not only citizens. Congress’s Constitution Annotated also notes that people already present in the United States—including those whose presence is unlawful, involuntary, or transitory—are entitled to due process protection in that setting. What process is required depends on the situation; that is decided case by case. Sources: National Archives; Constitution Annotated (Fifth Amendment procedure); Constitution Annotated (aliens who have entered).

I took a college crush to see CASABLANCA, which she'd never seen, and she said she'd never understood Bogart as a sex symbol. When we came out of the movie her first comment was, "Now I get it."

Would it be fair to say there's pressure on both ends - a donor class removing financial support from anything that's not in the right political box, and a younger generation that's grown up in the fever swamps of alt-right reddit and worse?

I don't think it's about the song itself, it's about whether people can be trusted to say they've never heard a song that just broke record for weeks at #1 on the charts.
