Plug, plug, plug

Until March 10, you can download Ana Laan's song "Paradise" for free from iTunes. This track, along with the rest of the album "Chocolate and Roses," was produced by Leo Sidran, a friend of this site.1

Anyway, you'll become more familiar with the song (that is, those of you without DVRs) next week when it will be featured in the new "Dove Bold" commercial campaign.

Here's how iTunes describes the song: Ana Laan's sweet, sublime voice spins gentle melodies in both Spanish and English. The track's rhythm has a light bossa-nova, '60s bachelor pad-esque stylishness, but Laan's cooing vocal turn is the true highlight.

This means that i n the places where the Harris campaign spent money and organized and knocked on doors, she did better.* Duh, it wasn't enough. Yet consider the political environment in 2024 for incumbent parties: across the world this year, each governing party facing election has lost vote share. Every single one. (This is the first time that had ever happened.) No one would suggest that Democrats pat themselves on the back when the result of their efforts is a Donald Trump victory. But look at this chart:**  The red dot is the 2024 Democrats, the ...

USC goes commando

Image
I've always thought USC cheerleaders were pretty classy (to the extent that such a classification is possible in the cheerleading world). They wear long-sleeved white turtlenecks, rather than the skimpy tops donned by most cheerleading teams. But yesterday I discovered that a USC Song Girl named Megan Ramer doesn't wear underwear. Britney Spears, are you responsible for this?

Paperweights have become paperweights

Image
When something goes unused or becomes obsolete, it's said to become a paperweight. Is your cellphone slow and out of date? It's become a paperweight. Is your laptop too slow to use? It's become a paperweight. Do you never use your Apple Vision Pro? It's become a paperweight. Weirdly, paper itself has become a paperweight. People do their work on laptops, tablets, and phones. Most homes don't have printers. Not only do we not need paperweights, we barely need paper!
