LA DOLCE VITA is, in my opinion, pretty good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
Repetitive and repetitive, but not without significant charms; a series of beautiful moments with nowhere to go. Overall strengths of the artists involved carried me throughout its (surprisingly long) runtime but never truly grabbed me until the final sequence.
This was a surprise and a source of significant initial confusion, as Marcello kept calling his paparazzi friend "Paparazzo." For the first hr. I thought he was addressing the general gaggle. But nope: character's name is "Paparazzo" and it caught on.

Movies that regularly make "50 best movies ever" lists are weird to write about because often I find myself saying they're pretty good but mostly offering criticism, even though they ARE pretty good—as a way to justify why they're nowhere near that high up the list for me.

“Simply put, I’m against the people.”

Joe Manchin's argument fundamentally rests on the ludicrous premise that the lack of support to the solution to the problem, which comes entirely from the party loudly acting to create the problem, is a failing not of the party creating the problem, but rather of the solution.
"Not one member of the opposing team has agreed to help us win this football game, therefore our strategy must be flawed."

"Not one hijacker has agreed to work with us to regain control of this airplane. We simply need to be more convincing, or the strife may increase."

It’s true I don’t have a formalized plan in place for replacing the fascist murder squads that currently gobble up over half our cities’ budgets, but I do feel that “get rid of the fascist murder squads” is a solid idea even without a plan.
Correct, and it's in service of the position "actually the fascist murder squads make me feel safe."
Unfortunately there is no translation necessary. Our position is what it is.

One thing I never want to hear again in my life is that we can’t do something because the American people “will never go along with it.” If we’ve learned anything it’s that a huge mass of American people will go along with pretty much fucking anything.
To be clear, I don't mean Trumpers. I mean the middle mass of Americans who simply don't want to be perceived as taking a stand, so as to avoid having to defend a position.

We know they'll shrug and go along with atrocity, but I suspect they'd also go along with good things.
Anyway, we're going to have to enact necessary and much-needed solutions to pressing problems without the support of people who will never go along with it.

Either way we need to be done with using the idea of opposition—whether real or perceived—as a reason not to begin.

My feeling is the way that you fight McConnell is to refuse to even entertain compromise, tell the news every day the plain truth that it's because Republicans have demolished all trust, and then refuse to count any Republican "Y" votes for the popular bills you pass 51-50.
The Republican Party is a fringe lunatic org committed to white supremacy and lashed to a pathetic aging TV star grifter who through incompetency and malice stole a year of our lives and watched 500,000 Americans die, and if you can't make that THEIR problem I just don't know.
Sinema is an excuse. Manchin is an excuse. Everyone can be pressured. Figure out how. That's the job.

If he defects, then that's bad and Biden needs to switch into "veto-everything" mode, but you can't refuse to play because you're afraid you'll lose. Time is too short.

17. Gets the job done. Does it with flair.
I’d like to thank the comments for keeping this a sandwich-positive zone, with no sandwich fights or sandwich shaming. All sandwiches are welcome here.
The rest of my top 5:

2. Cubano. Flawless victory.
3. Bacon egg cheese. Most important sandwich of the day.
4. Veggie hummus. Healthy choice, massive taste.
5. Grilled chee. Classic perfection.
