The following tale of 50-year-old white male oppression is true. And by true, I mean false. It’s all lies. But they’re entertaining lies. And in the end, isn’t that the real truth? The answer is: No.

He was a mystery novelist, he does have a big ring of knives that is prominently featured, knives have nothing to do with the mystery.

EVs fit my specific use case, but I still think they’re completely worthless because we don’t have the grid capacity to handle 300 million cars turning electric overnight.
Until the power grid is ready for overnight transmogrification of every ICE vehicle in the country, I can’t get onboard.

If you’re worried about elegance, lay off the colon (it’s fine), and fire up some anger at that amusement park funhouse/knockoff Harry Potter/headshop typeface they’ve set ‘Glass Onion’ in.

The onion I grew up was on my belt, which was the style at the time.
They didn’t have glass onions, because of the war...

The only connection of “knives out” to the mystery was that everyone had it out for each other. That could still be true.

If you can find the link to that article, you probably came across the link to this one, too:

The real killer on this trip is how much of the driving is through mid-Texas, Oklahoma (depending on route) and IL/IN/OH. All pretty uninspiring. Your advice is good, save your car time for the nice drives if you can.

Yeah, I can find tickets on that route next week at $1030 for 2x round-trips.
But if I look in August (still peak travel season), as low as $970 and without long layovers.

No argument, but That Thing You Do! was actually up the following year against The English Patient (winner), Fargo, Jerry Maguire, Secrets & Lies, and Shine.
Apollo 13 could have taken down Braveheart.

I didn’t even know they gave Daytime Emmys for interactive VR shorts.

Only was he ever middle-class?
I assumed that as the son of a single, Alabama widow that took in boarders, he was easily lower-class growing up. College is on an athletic scholarship, then he joins the Army, socks away some savings and then hits it rich in the shrimping business.

Sentimental, middle of the road, and high-grossing.
It is an industry award, afterall.

I think it’s a mixed bag politically, but generally (being a rear-view story) favors the winners (the history-writers). Free love and hippie communes lost, so they lose in the movie while civil rights and integration, vague antiwar sentiment, business interests, and sexual loosening at least as far as Elvis get…

I tell ya...

“Special effects professionals,” “sarah polley,”  terrible tinny sorts of words.

I remember that episode when it first aired in ‘86:

To be completely honest, he’d long since checked out himself.

Christina Ricci was 17 years old when filming F&L. Not sure that’s in the same ballpark, exactly.

Everyime President Biden is on my wife... he doesn’t have the easiest job.
