Cuomo's a millionaire who lives in Westchester, so of course he has no idea what qualifies as rich in NYC.

Everyone’s assuming he’s proud of the Confederacy’s treason, racism and slavery, but I think we should consider that he’s also proud of the incompetent leadership from Confederate generals.

In theory, yes. But in reality, there were plenty of succession crises, usurpations and civil wars. Or you get a king who reigns for decades, but his policies vacillate wildly as he cycles through different advisors.

I know it used to only include parts of Hulu, but I just did some random searches for Hulu shows on Disney+, and everything was there.

At least the demigods in the Percy Jackson books are very diverse (race, gender, disability, sexuality, even religion). Also the characters are often annoyed about being trapped in the fantastical world and wish they could just use modern technology on their quests.

Yes. It's also possible that everything is on Disney+, and it's just harder to find.

I have the Disney-Hulu-ESPN bundles and I see a lot of Hulu content on the Disney+ app, but I don't think everything is there.

It's a company that "manages 10,000 apartments, most of which are rent regulated and 85% of which are in The Bronx." It's possible they just made a bad decision on these two buildings. It's also possible they're doing some creative accounting and are actually losing far less than they claim.

Also "dozens" of apartments could mean anything from 25 to 200. I don't doubt that there are buildings where the legal rent is not enough to cover the landlord's costs, but this anecdote really needs some more specific number.

Affable Anti-Semite Thinks The Jews Are Doing Super Job With The Media PLANO, TXβ€”Henry McCullers, an affable Plano-area anti-Semite, praised the Jewish people Monday for doing "a bang-up job" running the media. "This has been such a great year for movies, and the new cro...

HP books make a lot more sense if you see wizards as a stand-in for the British upper class and JKR as being so in love with the idea of an aristocracy than she makes β€œDownton Abbey” look downright communist by comparison.

You’d think she’d at least be familiar with the animated film β€œAnastasia”!

Even better would be the jury first agreeing that $10m would be the right value to put on a life in a normal case, but that this guy’s life is only worth $1m.

This reminds me of Steve Bannon comparing himself to Thomas Cromwell during Trump I.

In the abstract β€œwe won’t sell to lawyers who represent defendants we don’t like” could set a dangerous precedent that will be used far more against the powerless than against the powerful. In this particular case, fuck Dersh. Even other rich assholes can’t stand him. He doesn’t deserve pierogi.

If Trump endorses Cuomo, Mamdani gets to spend half of September campaigning for candidates in other cities.

I'm not sure who's more delusional here – Cuomo for thinking a Trump endorsement might help him, or Trump for thinking Mark Penn is anything other than a complete fucking idiot.

Also, Andrew Stein?!?!? Dude hasn't been relevant in NYC for over 30 years.

AI filmmaking and storytelling is a bitch. It's a lover. It's a child. It's a mother. It's a sinner. It's a saint. It's your hell. It's your dream. It's nothing in between.
