I do think a lot of the crap that it gets is just the result of who directed it. If it was anyone else, it wouldn’t constantly be reassessed in that context, and far fewer people would be talking about its flaws. A lot of the movies on this list wouldn’t ever come up if not for where they land in each director’s…

While he certainly would be better at policymaking than Trump (pretty much the lowest bar), DeSantis has had the advantage of a gerrymandered state where both houses of Florida’s state legislature and the Florida Supreme Court do his bidding (and sometimes want to go even further than even he is willing to go). It’s…

The good news is that DeSantis has all the charisma of a room-temperature bowl of oatmeal, lacks any foreign policy bona fides, and doesn’t have Trump’s name recognition.

I have tried very hard to make this point to people who are still focused on Trump’s antics, and I’m not getting very far. Trump had neither the patience nor the attention span to be an effective leader. DeSantis does.

Yeah, I’m aware of that. I just wanted to make a silly joke while pointing out how awesome Levon Helm is.

The Allman Bros.?

Maybe not to the rest of the US, but we have the Buffalo River, and some amazing mountain biking.  Not to mention, the Mulberry, Kings, tons of hiking, and for me living in a city that’s actually affordable and close to all the outdoor stuff I love.  But, yeah, it can be frustrating to live here for sure. 

Mississippi...Faulkner, James Earl Jones, Jim Henson, Oprah...

I admit I voted for Bill Clinton in the first presidential election I could vote in (1996). Like I was supposed to vote for Perot?

It’s fairly easy to spell. Relatively decent weather. Can't think of anything really unique there that I would qualify as good.

Dont forget slick Willie

not impugning every citizen--in addition to Helm there are a number of notable citizens of the these 3 states. But I mean the state itself, not a notable person who just happened to be born there. 

Arkansas did produce Levon Helm, one of the finest rock drummers ever.

I wouldn’t say I’ve been missing him, Bob.

Osama Bin Laden, more like Osama Been Hide-en

Even better would be

How great was Isla Rose Hall as young Poppy? She absolutely nailed it, front to back, from the sly enthusiasm to the “eat shit".

Instant pot chicken soup works wonders
1-1.5qt Chicken broth
Whole chicken
Cut up veggies
Noodles or barley

Pre-saute the harder veggies in the pot for 10m or so, then throw everything but the chicken in. Chicken goes on top. Time 20m on high. It’ll be full so quick release will take a LONG time.

Oh, and if you don’t have…

Yeah I’m pretty much an omelette connoisseur but that’s an entirely new one on me. If there’s any truth in advertising to the name then it sounds REALLY rich.

It’s called “Le Crap” and it’s only served Chef who hate themselves.  Like a well done steak
