Where does an unemployed, single man go to buy footwear that both complements the uniform their mother made and reflects the sincerity of their mimicry ?
From the order of our noble sentries it would seem ABC Mart, Nafco, Nafco and Aoyama meet the sartorial requirements.

One of the appointees, Bridget Ziegler, a co-founder of Moms for Liberty, has been called out for hypocrisy after admitting to a sexual relationship with her husband and another woman, even though the Zieglers very publicly have fought against LGBTQ+ rights.
She is anti-LGBTQ until she isn't. Usual hypocritical conservative.

If you mean 99.9% of over 50's men you might win a dollar.
She "got there" because she was hand-picked by the media industry.
That is how the entire industry works. You know the music you know because a cast of thousands of industry people put them within your earshot.
I don't usually agree with bass but the numbers don't lie. She is right and you are so tragically wrong.

I can sort of understand the attraction of industry awards events for those involved within the industry. It's a little bit of razz to look forward to and network.
As much as I enjoy cinema, however, I don't think it is necessary for the layman to be involved. Other than the purely technical categories, the nominations are subjective and prone to political / social horsetrading which triggers certain types.
None of us can state with any confidence which is the best movie / band / painting / photo.
Just make them online PPV.
