Kinda, there are a lot of similarities - the plot of Trading Places (or at least the latter half of the movie after Billy Ray and Louis meet up) is that the Dukes are intending to use insider trading via their man Clarence Beeks to corner the market on orange juice (which is illegal). Our protagonists figure this out…

Any loss of intellectual property is serious if for no other reason then controlling your IP. As far as the amount, you would use a liquidated damages clause in the contract. These are used when damages are difficult or a PITA to calculate. It works like a fine: “for any breach by supplier of the confidentiality…

And there’s some merit to that notion, but as a counterpoint, the FBI was well aware that 1/6 was going to be violent, and frankly, a lot of the plans around that day were very, VERY public. These individuals are a known quantity, and so there’s an argument to be had that the FBI and DoJ should be well ahead of the…

No joke the Cheney announcment gave me pause as to whether this is a good idea ultimately I concluded yes but i still puked a little in my mouth knowing I'm on the same side as her...

“Moron Label” is all I ever see

That’s a lot of typing to just avoid clicking the link in that very sentence

Well, if we’re going to talk about shows with Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James that ended too early, then Life ended at least one season too soon.

The Leftovers is a complete show, so you’re safe.

I quickly scrolled through the article and comments to be sure nobody mentioned The Leftovers, because I’m mid-binge right now and I WANT TO BELIEVE the series finale has Carrie Coon’s Nora Durst all happy and settled and resolved by the end of it! Not too bothered about the others ... The show could end with theroux…

Don’t be so fucking stupid.

He’s not the only one...

The Supreme Court. 

“Callen categorically denied all the allegations with a statement to The Times, citing “cancel culture”

You get a little sick of being the cannon fodder in a war you shouldn’t have to fight. It also takes up a lot of time.

Okay, but I grew up, work, and live in the UK and have had for the past 15 years, meaning I’ve spent more time and contributed to the country than most Commonwealth immigrants, yet they’re the ones who can pretty much come in fresh off the boat and vote in general elections. C’est la vie.
