Barry and Bo are givens.

I think Abrams ought to be a slam dunk for Biden, but I'm not sure she'd take it. If Biden gets the nod, she should start calculating her 2024 odds. 

Young black male. He's energetic and he could bring the Obama coalition on board.

As much as I like Castro, I think Booker is Warren’s VP pick.

I don’t know. I liked STP plenty back in the day, but as I get older, their music doesn’t seem to hold up as much as I would expect.

Also, I don’t think of them as a 90s band (but they WERE a band in the 90s), but man, who is more underrated than Heart? Heart rules.

I’m not in full agreement, but I won’t put up much of an argument when someone puts AIC & Soundgarden at the top, where they belong.

Naw man. Most underrated 90s band was definitely Alice in Chains. They were better than both Nirvana and Pearl Jam, but is always ranked 4th behind them and Soundgarden (who also fucking rocked).

When I was 22 or so, I thought Outlaw Golf was the most awesome game of its era. I wonder if it holds up.

I was definitely one of those idiots who watched the first season and thought “Hey, this is pretty good.” I must have become less of an idiot soon thereafter because I then saw season two and thought, “What the fuck was I thinking?”.

Could you explain what you mean here? I’ve been out of the fantasy reading scene for 10+ years (which is shameful), but I am a staunch Wheel of Time lover-turned-hater, so I’m curious as to what modern fantasy has Jordan’s footprints in it.

Enough already. It was funny the first time. It's not funny anymore. 

Oh, get fucked.

Amen.

It’s a legitimate concern. Also a concern is that our city is struggling to keep its head above water financially because when we got a highway cutting through the heart of our city, those with the ability to leave all left. Our suburbs are brimming with wealth and highly rated public schools, while the city struggles…

Excellent article Aaron.

Still no love for Count Duckula. 

I understand your point. But please note that there is a world of difference when you talk about Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, Ithaca, and even Utica vs our extremely rural areas. I was just remarking to my wife last night that, you know, I don’t think I’ve actually ever seen someone wearing a MAGA hat in…

I mean, it’s still New York State. All the yokels that live outside of our cities who mew about how Upstate NY should secede from NYC have no idea what it would be like if they suddenly became fucking Alabama or Mississippi.

This. I don’t love Utica, but nor do I like people who don’t know Utica shitting on it. 

So, I live in Syracuse (Cicero, where the murderer is from, is one of our northern suburbs... basically where people my age who are terrified of the city move to send their kids to school). I grew up about halfway between Syracuse and Utica.
