Had forgotten how gorgeous the score and the (Iowa/ NYC) cinematography in this movie is
Is a bit weird that the teen Clark Kent looks no younger than Reeves though
It is no coincidence that so many superheroes are journalists
The 70s hair in this movie is spectacular—esp on cops and villains

1/ Ok, if I'm following this correctly, here's some of the ways that ranked choice voting can get weird. First, you need to know that from left to centerish (this is SF) these candidates for DA fall out like this
Ches Boudin
Susy Loftus
Leif Dautch
Nancy Tung
2/ The other thing you need to know is that while their are some differences, Boudin and Loftus aren't that far apart in policy. But Boudin was supported by Bernie and DSA, and Loftus by the local Dem party. And Tung is the furtherest to the center/right. OK?
3/ Dautch got the least votes. So he was eliminated, and the votes that went for him were retabulated according to who those voters picked as their second choice. Most of those went to Tung, which makes sense, but a decent number to both Boudin and Loftus.

Ranked choice voting is considered to be pretty solid election reform but it does mean later nights for those watching close returns, like SF DA’s race
Hi k early if I tried to explain the mechanism to you rn I’d fail spectacularly 😑😴
^ honestly. But I think I/autocorrect made my point

I do not understand how running super fast makes you take on a posture in which it is impossible to run
Listen nothing about Superman is as impossible as a reporter having a midtown, rooftop Penthouse
Someone is a bit enthralled

Okay, so let me talk about Mario for a minute here. I realize there's a difference between the American and Japanese understanding of the character and there always has been, but Mario was originally presented as a blue collar worker. 1/?
Yes, there's the plumber thing, but he was also a construction worker in Wrecking Crew and I guess a carpenter in Donkey Kong. Very blue collar. He started making cameos in other games, but it was like, a boxing ref. 2/?
It's the original Mario Bros. that cast him as a plumber but I guess he was an Evil Animal Trainer in Donkey Kong Jr.? I dunno if Animal Trainer is as "salt of the earth" as being a construction worker, but it's no office job. 3/?

#OnceUponATime,Six Blind fellows came in front of an elephant.
The first guy, Abraham by name, felt up the trunk and declared elephant is long & flexible.
When the elephant started probing with its trunk, seeking food, Abraham pushed his son to front.
1/7
Elephant a herbivore, returned the child to Abraham.

Next guy Moses, when he approached, elephant lifted up its head & trunk.
Moses reached its leg, declared it is solid, straight like pillar & not flexible. He issued commandments, rigid, inflexible & hard as elephant hide.
2/7
Next guy, Siddhartha was tall, he could reach upto the ears, declared elephant is flat, thin and broad and provides comforting wind when you move it.
3/7

Biggest cheer during @iowademocrats chair @troymprice's opening remarks came after he predicted #Iowa Ds will "send @joniernst into an early retirement." #IASen #HallofFame
Sen @CoryBooker is 1st candidate to speak at #HallofFame event. (19 candidates will each have 5 minutes)
"We are being tested. This is a moral moment in America, and we must meet this test. I'm running for president because we can't take 4 more years of Donald Trump." #iacaucus
But @CoryBooker isn't just running to beat Donald Trump. That's the floor, not the ceiling. We can't just run on what we are against. Democrats need to tell people what we are for. "Every American needs health care, and make no mistake, abortion is health care." #iacaucus

#Story ...
1.’Dada ‘ was actually the name of the Dutch company that imported Fake Ghee Called ‘vanaspati ghee ‘ into India in the 1930s as a cheap substitute for Pure ‘desi ghee ‘ Which was prepared from cow or Buffalo milk in India 🤔
2. Desi Ghee was locally made product sustaining Indian Economy-on other hand-So Called ‘Vanaspati ghee’was a type of vegetable shortening made up of hydrogenated or highly saturated vegetable oil and made to just’mimic desi Ghee’🤔!

It was a Fake Product to fool the Indians 😎
3. Proper ‘Desi Ghee ‘ was expensive & Lever Brothers, now Unilever (Hindustan Unilever in India), knew there was a market for a substitute for desi ghee, since many Indians could barely afford Ghee in those days 😨
