73,500 homeless people live in New York City. That is enough people to fill Yankee Stadium. And that’s only part of the greater New York/New Jersey area which also relies on HUD funding for infrastructure, social services, and disaster recovery.

The state legislature is split between a Democratic controlled body and one that has an equal number of Democrats plus an independent working with them, but with enough of those Ds working with the Rs to fuck everyone over. These assholes:

We’re trying to avoid the Subway becoming like the DC Metro. You are a lesson to us all about what to avoid. The complaining is an attempt to prevent this.

My problem with the 5th Element is less that Leeloo needs Dallas to activate her and make her work, but that she actually isn’t all that powerful a character. Dallas is a better fighter, thinker, etc. Leeloo, while “the ultimate being” needs to be rescued multiple times. Not just have her life saved, but carried…

Which is worse, FIFA or the IOC?

They already had the perfect version, don’t know why they didn’t use it:

But you don’t have to pay money to park on 93. They charge you money to sit in traffic on the pike.

Wikipedia is saying it’s a sequel. So we may get that franchise after all.

I don’t know how much the terrible vandals would be successful in defacing these monuments, but I will note that thermite hits over 4000 degrees F while granite has a melting point of 3100 degrees F. The heat would probably not be on the stone long enough to actually melt any parts of it, but one would be afraid…

I must have seen a different version of The Great Comet than you did. It soundly deserved the two Tony’s it received and justly did not get any more. I haven’t seen Evan Hansen, so I can’t speak to it, although based on how creepy the main character sounds, I think I’ll be skipping it.

Missing beautiful boys playing girls. Has instead women in the troupe. I guess you have to deal with fragile straight male sexuality, but come on, one of the defining aspects of the time was the all male casts. Shakespeare can still be made straight, it’s ok, just make the woman he’s sleeping with not part of the…

According to Mary Roach (in Packing for Mars), they said they were going to film the porno in that, but in the end did not. The hair does not float and the bodily fluids drop, instead of floating around.

Hey, it still had that when it was St. Peterburg for a while. The name change may have gotten rid of the corpse of the Antonov, but the luggage retrieval was the same.

Personally, I expect Rocky Horror. The joys of misspent teen years.

Good night everybody!

Holy shit, a counterexample to Betteridge’s law of headlines. Thank you!

Trump has nowhere near the competence, humanity or caring for others that Cersei does. And The Mountain (in his current form) looks a hell of a lot better than Trump’s undead minion, Bannon.

As long as you weren’t playing as Oddjob, that’s legit.

then to a third-party facility for processing

You are wrong and I will fight you. Donna is still the best and now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go cry about her again.
