Freeway Ross with another banger.

Economics writers, normally a cautious bunch, are speculating about how a Biden boom might really be different — bigger, longer, its fruits more widely shared — than the limping recoveries we’ve seen recently.

No way this is an accident.

The two peaks of the “rom-com” were the 1940s and the 1950s and then the 1990s and early 2000s, when even sex comedies passed from being proudly depraved to (in the Judd Apatow era) almost wholesome.

Raunchy teen movies were super huge in the late 90s and early 00s. What the fuck is he talking about?

It isn’t just the adult rom-com that’s waned. Watching “Raya and the Last Dragon” with my kids last week, I realized that it was the fourth animated Disney movie in a row — following “Onward,” “Frozen II” and “Moana” — without a central love story. (“Frozen II” technically has a marriage-proposal story carried over from its predecessor, but it’s completely vestigial.)

Aaaand there it is. That's what it's about. He's upset Disney princesses aren't being dicked. If they were he'd be complaining about how gratuitous it is.

    Anyone one else here want to pitch in to fund a rom com featuring Ross William f Buckley, and a few others on a sailboat?
