Collection firm lawyers:

An AUSA general strike would be admittedly a bit funny.

Same. If she shows up, I fully expect someone like Castro to go hard at her in the first debate as Tulsi did in 2020 and she gracefully exits the next poor electoral showing after that.

Sounds plausible. Someone should look into it.

Ask him if we need one to arrest Stephen Miller when the time comes and see what he says.

I'm surprised at the pushback you got on that thread. I think it's fairly obvious she needs to work for the party in other ways at this point.

Sua sponte making up an annual award for best dressed high schooler at a spontaneous counter beat down of a jackass, and folks, we might not get a better entry this year even though it's barely February.

Kudos to these kids because high school me probably would have done a number on his too-expensive truck.

Hi Jim: Your state has two medical schools and Massachusetts has four. You should try building two more medical schools and you'll see the NIH funding level out like magic.

American Beauty Kevin Spacey at that. At least Se7en Kevin Spacey appreciated traditional marriage.

More reliable than a TAG Heuer.

When "you should make more money" style financial advice meets "everyone has to recycle their plastic or the polar bears die" reasoning.

Why would I take a Palestinian flag to an ICE protest? Do they have no sense of style?

We each have a responsibility to save the rain forest. Except data centers and the hyper wealthy.

A browser add-on that blasts a whistle every time a European shows up to obnoxiously scold Americans about how to protest our government.

This complaint being directed at Nyong'o and not the numerous Anglo-Saxon people in the cast is what we call racist.

I don't know what Odysseus or Penelope really looked like but if it's Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway I'll eat my hat.

Of course, fantasy screams for artistic license, anyway.

When originalism comes for cinematic adaptations of a 12k line Greek epic poem with no definitive edition or translation:

Contending... for 3rd place in a bad division.

I haven't seen the chimp movie but that earth movie is better than I expected. I get the sense Melania would not be.

The reason they have to specify non-concert is that Taylor Swift's album release film from October took in $30M+ on its one weekend run, which is what a legit fan base looks like.

For a non-concert documentary comparison, Fahrenheit 9/11 opened at $24M twenty years ago.

Melania got $7M.

You could also start a program that permits disposition to a financial institution conditioned on proxy voting rights being granted to the founder.

Like there are a lot of options here and it's ludicrous to pretend taxing a billionaire is some great injustice if it requires them to sell stock.

Not only is it a non-problem if taxing unrealized gains makes it more difficult for founders to control a company, it's flat-out not true because you can use non-voting stock or other incorporation level restrictions to prevent losing control as a result of having to sell.

This is like one of those "find ten things wrong with this picture" puzzles from kids' magazines and we're finding out who clearly failed those.

I feel like missing the unreliability of the narration in that book is bad.

Editor: You get that poster for the kids movie done?
Photographer: Sure did boss, real fuckin dinosauric just like you asked.
Editor: what

The Glans Before Time

It's exhausting how much of our political life is now being driven by the traditional income paths of organized crime. We had the means to prevent this sort of thing and multiple successive Congresses have sat on their hands.

Magneto?

Every day is Defamation Day in the Republic of Hell.
