Broadway, surely.

But I'm curious about is how street names work in Argentina, where most seem to have no qualifier at all.

Luxus Debuts Investment Fund for Luxury Handbags Luxus, the wealth tech startup, has launched a new fund focused on Hermès Birkin and Kelly bags, to the tune of $2 million.

Late to this but will just note that in 2007 alt-funds dedicated to investing in violins and rare guitars were a clear sign of the top. wwd.com/fashion-news...

My neighbor told me his National Assembly keeps rejecting his prime ministers so I asked how many PMs he has and he said he just goes to the cabinet and gets a new PM so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding PMs to the National Assembly and then his daughter started crying.

Take it from some who teaches about drone strikes, β€œI shed no tear for that guy” and β€œthis is bad, it shouldn’t have happened” can be normal reactions to have simultaneously.
