They aren't even the best band nobody knows with crows in the name, that would be those damn crows.
The Black Crows?

My favourite band no one's ever heard of would be either Catherine Wheel or Electrafixion.

The best band literally no one knows would be The Velvet Stones.

None of the above. They all smack of trying too hard.

My personal course would be a quiet understatement, like, "Somewhat Hotter Than One Might Reasonably Expect".

Doesn't sound too bad, so if it then blows your mouth off, you remember.

Here's the thing; next to no one is actually doing that.

A lot of people are/were saying that in order to push an agenda of some sort, but very few are genuinely going to stick to it, and those that do were likely never going to vote anyway.

It's a good thing Republicans are not sharp enough to make the right plays.

They came close here, have Trump endorse Hogan, allow Hogan to refuse the endorsement, gently, have the RNC back him to the hilt anyway.

There obviously aren't enough Magats in Maryland to turn an election, but getting the sane Republicans and them on the same page would at least give them a shot at flipping the seat.

Thank God for Lara Trump. You go girl, rob the RNC blind and collapse their infrastructure. Team Loser is in control!

Unions aren't bad, if they uphold both duties of a union:

  1. Support workers rights and benefits.
  2. Be a guarantor of quality.
That means providing training, and weeding out the bad apples. A properly run union should not have shit employees, or not for very long, anyway.

Zithers posted...
there were silent movies shot in color like 30-40 years before anything in the OP had been made
Technically true but also... not. Especially not the word, 'shot'.

Some films we released in limited colour achieved via various means, almost all of them post-production, often filters for just one or two colours. Some films had hand painted colour applied directly to the cells, but that was a very limited practice, not for wide release.

So while Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind were not the first colour films, they were the first colour films the majority of people got to see.

Edit: Also, yeah that early stuff was super oversaturated. I'd fire a colour key tech that did that today.

Humans are creatures that always think the path not taken is the better one, because what could have been will always be perfect in the mind.
