I'll remember that. But just because St. Louis is "a big city", I presume that not every pizza is a "St. Louis-style pizza"; is there a way to make sure that, as a tourist, I don't accidentally order a pizza that I could get anywhere?

Right, but this means the pardon doesn't just happen automatically; they have to reach out for it. So spread that around.

Spread this around. The pardon isn't automatic; anyone with this dishonorable discharge needs to apply to get it removed.

I confess: we were so focused on the Evil Empire (and, to a lesser extent, the team @stephenking.bsky.social called "The Loathsome El Birdos"), we managed to miss what was happening to the other team that spent money to create a winner.

As a baseball fan, I might be interested in this book.

I'm sorry, and I can truly empathize (in general), but as a Red Sox fan, 2004 was pretty much the opposite of the "SEASON FROM HELL". And if you want to know who went thru Hell that season, talk to a Yankee fan about their unprecedented 3-0 choke.

When one party is inexcusable, the other party becomes "the only choice". That's why primaries are suddenly more important. (Yes, we should have viable political parties besides the duopoly; mathematically, that won't happen in our "first past the post" voting system.)

The reason why this film is so problematic (as opposed to just ignorable) is that Griffith advanced the art of cinema in many ways with the techniques he used to make it. Films "before" and "after" this show just how influential it was in the craft. But the message is insufferably vile.

To be fair to the "southern Barbarians", they had just been on a long ship voyage, and hadn't had a chance to clean up.

When I finally saw the "all three" version, I was kind of disappointed to see that the version I saw in the theatre was the "real" one.

I loved this show. Among other things, it introduced me to Gary Cole. "Some say the sheriff sold his soul to the Devil. Some say the Devil didn't have anything to offer the sheriff."

<yawn/> That's like saying that socialism as actually practiced is always a step away from fascism. Tell ya what: let's both stop this nonsense and get back to opposing actual fascism, which is becoming way too popular.
