“To be at less than ($3 million), while good for taxpayers,

Yeah, this seems more like a “we want her to succeed so bad!” placement than anything else. Hell, I’m sure Jimmy Kimmel had some stellar 3-minute moments on SNL.

This. Culturally, acting is certainly different so I can say for sure if they overplayed or underplayed something so I just have to go off what I see and the situation and they seemed to work for me. And you definitely can’t judge the acting by the subtitles, esp. since they allegedly didnt even match up correctly.

I need only to look at Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and Mark Cuban to see people like the folks in Succession who think they are “working class” and therefore cool and loose enough to talk like that. Just looking at the photo of Musk smoking a joint and looking like a d-bag doing it is proof.

As a Chicago resident on the South Side during the height of Larry Hoover’s power, he was at the top of an organization that caused a lot of deaths and destroyed a lot of communities.

Not sure how it works exactly but he was elected (ran opposed several times). I looked up his history and he’s had complaints going back decades with some people trying their best not to have him oversee their case. So probably not fired but... I don’t know what they do in Wisconsin.

I’m on Team Fuck Candy Corn. It’s become the Die Hard Is a Christmas Movie of candies in that I hope folks aren’t trying to make it into a Debate for Our Times®
