dating in New York as a 30-something executive in private equity

Just fyi, that $800 million drop represented about 4% of their overall valuation.

Hey, if you’re here to say this guy is faking it, just looking for a payday, or should have just followed police-state instructions and this is all his fault, allow me to preemptively invite you to go fuck yourself.

You’re good at this.

I think the key point, though, is that she wanted there to be more than one character. If there’s just one token character representing a minority, there’s pressure on them to represent the whole group.

I didn’t take “allow them a Lucy!” to mean “make one of them a main character.” Earlier in the letter, Glickman kept talking about how “even Lucy” counted as a good character, implicitly saying that she was a good character despite her abrasive qualities as the strip’s primary antagonist.

That’s odd, I didn’t notice that, but we only had our complimentary Guinness and got the hell out. We went on the morning of the Ireland-All Blacks rugby game and I believe half the population of New Zealand was there.

It’s used as an excuse to imprison black and brown and poor people to extract cheap labor from them. It’s not about public safety and never was.

It also helps fuel the narrative of “the corrupt media looking for a ratings grab” because... well, why the fuck else would you hype up something so ultimately trivial by talking for 20 minutes about the importance of knowing the information THAT YOU DON’T ACTUALLY HAVE AT ALL

Exactly this. I just keep thinking, “Now his supporters get to say that he pays his taxes.” I feel like it did way more harm than good.
