So Rice is perhaps understandably skeptical of some of the corporate infrastructure that has been built up around what is, at its core, an organic, grassroots movement.

As a group, correctional officers are bigger assholes than cops. For us on the outside, it’s to our benefit that they are in prison.

COVID: 30 million cases, half a million deaths in the US.

Well it fits with the contradiction, since the movie about Citizen Kane really isn't about Citizen Kane.

Here’s the thing about good twists on TWD; they make you think that a particular character or subplot has potential, and will be explored in a rewarding way. Spoiler alert: they never, ever will.

Da 5 Bloods is substandard Spike Lee. It feels especially heavy handed compared to Judas and the Black Messiah, which weaves its history lessons seamlessly into the narrative. 

Always gotta try on your Nikes. I didn’t realize I have “wide feet” until I started working for them and couldn’t wear competing brands at work. Half of my shoes ended looking like clown shoes because I had to go up a full size just to get the right width. Don’t even get me started on SB’s...those things are torture…

First Cow and The Invisible Man feel like they came out three years ago, and it’s unfortunate it seems like they were released in some limbo, non-Oscar year. I thought they were both really great.

Mank, a movie about screenwriting, that is the only Best Picture nominee this year not to receive a writing nomination.

My one hope for all of this: I never have to hear about the fucking Snyder Cut again. I generally try not to yuck other people’s yum. I get that Snyder’s style is not appealing to me and that’s fine. Enjoy what you enjoy.

But damnit I am tired of hearing about this fucking thing.

Shhh, now everyone knows that you have gold coins buried in your backyard.

A big part of the automotive sector’s issue has come from the fact that the car industry was massively upended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cars weren’t coming in, and no one was buying used cars. So used car companies started raising their prices as a way to bolster the few sales they were making.

Conservatives have expressed worry about inflation for at least 30 years for no reason except to block government programs that would help the bottom 60% of the population.

Average new car prices keep rising, a number of people are ditching public transportation and/or moving from the cities, and production was constrained by COVID and computer chip shutdowns, all of which contribute to inflation in the used car market, which is not necessarily representative of anything else (of course…

Most economists are not worried about the ARA stimulus package causing high inflation. Janet Yellen isn’t worried. Jerome Powell isn’t worried. There are some economists who are worried, but it is very much a minority position. The most prominent holder of said minority view is Lawrence Summers, who was one of the…

“Could Signal Overall Skyrocketing Inflation” how? This makes a pretty incredible leap from goods with supply limitations that exist for known reasons to potential widespread economic inflation with no substantial evidence for that claim.

Holy shit is this all wrong. Housing is going up in certain areas due to zoning. There are a zillion places in this country where housing is cheap as shit and hasnt gone up much if at all. Housing would also be affordable in the Bay Area if the Bay Area, for example, built a fuck ton of houses. Just look at Tokyo for…

“Used cars are going up in price in part because people would rather have a bigger more luxurious car than a new car of smaller size.”
