Cromulent, but not perfectly so.

Music. Books, comic and otherwise. FF and especially FFXIV.
The back and forth dynamic is so much fun to watch and feels organic. The only time Aymeric doesn't have to be in charge is when he's alone with Lume and you can feel how badly he needs that.

It's brilliant.

Agree 100%. Green Mile wasn't bad either. He doesn't work much, but when he does...

I'm going to have to go with Shawshank as my favorite Kind adaptation, but I'm pretty vanilla.

I was about the same age! I didn't get Charles; I just thought he was the funny guy who dressed better than everyone else

My wife and I unwind to the silliness of Richard Dawson and Brett Somers and try to guess which of the "celebrities" are the most drunk.

It's usually Gene.

I just had James Garner's daughter repost something I'd written that contained the worst typo (your/you're)...I'm thrilled and kind of want to crawl under a rock.

* There seem to be pretty obvious macro trends that persist across administration.
* Reagan's "high" average rate was a huge drop from the Carter peak which surely helped him.
* Trump's net loss of jobs overshadowed inflation.

...maybe that would change it, but I doubt it would change much. Anyway, presidents and avg. inflation rates:

Eisenhower 1.4%
JFK 1.1%
LBJ 2.6%
Nixon 5.7%
Ford 8%
Carter 9.9%
Reagan 4.6%
HW Bush 4.3%
Clinton 2.6%
W Bush 2.8%
Obama 1.4%
Trump 1.9%
Biden/Harris 5.2%

...well, Kennedy wasn't, but only a cad would include him. My gut sense is that current economic conditions lead to punishing the current admin (I'm counting Harris w/Biden because she inherited his baggage).

Now, my lazy look at the #s isn't breaking things out by 4 year term.
