Interestingly, ESG funds are one of the most rapidly growing categories of funds, and they care about companies’ behavior (ethical, social, governance). Not from a sense of greater altruism, but from a risk mitigation perspective. They reason that a company that kidnaps children will eventually run foul of the law,…

It sounds like he is an early developer when it comes to developing his own “oppressed white male” narrative.

It goes back further than that - the 2A was born of the fear of a slave uprising. It was pushed by southern plantation owners who were outnumbered by their “property”.

Also, what they’re actually teaching here is that women have sexual power over men, and they should wield it by embracing modesty.

Also, apparently, one in five average Annas have a “serious” porn addiction...so on average, one in five women has a serious porn addiction (because Anna is average, after all). I guess it’s all in the definition of “serious” and “addiction”.

I wish you could have included Trump’s original tweet about the fires, instead of the update. Describing an area of trees as a “Forrest” twice (and capitalizing it both times) really makes clear the level of stable genius we’re dealing with here.

I learned today that it’s possible for a music video to be so crass that it’s actually funny.  Also, get off my lawn.

My first thoughts on seeing the photo and age. He is doing a fine job in making us feel good about ourselves.  Long may it continue!

Confused.  I thought there was separation between church and state?

Multifactor authentication!  They get loads of calls from people trying to steal other people’s accounts, so they have to be careful.

Related - I bought the Corsair K95 Platinum - basically, their $200 high-end gaming keyboard. It’s pretty neat, but has essentially no manual, a counter-intuitive setup program, and no online help. The only support is a YouTuber with some excellent primer videos. I suggested they should pay him, and I mean it. The…

I agree.  Multifactor authentication, every time, people!

That is a reasonable question, given the attention paid to women’s underwear in these situations. Was he wearing his favorite underwear? If so, it was presumably because he wanted to have sex with someone. If he wasn’t out with his girlfriend, but still wearing his favorite, that’s clear evidence that he was hoping to…

I’m not sure that I’ve ever had bad bacon.

If there’s one takeaway from the last two years it is that Evangelicals are the least moral “moral majority” in the country.  Quite disgusting how quick they were to abandon their professed deeply-held principles.  They are reading a different Book than the one I’m familiar with.

Rudy likes his cigar bars. I met him in one once, in about the year 2000. He was there with his then mistress (he was on his second marriage at the time), and his security team. He later married her - this (wife #3) is the one he’s divorcing now. The GOP is full of examples of how insecure you should feel when you get…

Perfect headline. And this is so true:

Disgruntled cocker spaniel on dog Klonopin Kellyanne Conway attempted to blame the fatal shooting at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue, which left 11 people dead, on “anti-religiosity,” ignoring the shooter’s history of professed anti-Semitism.

Interesting that he’s forced to focus on the injustice of the pursuit - because he was actually guilty of the crime and deserved to go to jail, so JK can’t argue with that. But as you say, people like that don’t expect to be pursued.

Totally.  Normally, if you’re unable to do your job, you’re fired.  If you’re unable to do your job in a way that adversely affects someone else’s health, you should be fired quickly, and possibly exposed to legal action.
