Almost anytime that you hear a really hot woman asked about her relationship with a much less hot guy, she answers the same thing: He makes me laugh.

I had a 65 Impala SS in college. It had been ratted out as a ‘fishing car’ before I got it, but I sold it a year later for what I paid for it to someone who wanted the small block V8 in it. As much as I enjoyed it, and might even dream of of its cousin, $37 large is absurd.

It’s also different when someone gets a leg up in, say, insurance sales. Sure, it’s nepotism, but no one is envious of an insurance salesman.

That waste can is as close as I’ve gotten to seeing one. Chicagoland does not seem to be a hotbed of Musk fandom willing or able to shell out $100K to show their fealty.

I agree with you about reasonableness, and I expect that is why SAG rules would be introduced by Baldwin’s lawyer. It’s just that the law doesn’t usually recognize rules that haven’t been codified by the legislature, but they can be introduced in an effort to sway a jury.

My thoughts exactly. Hi, Mercedes!

I suspect that Toyota can make RAV4 Primes fast enough, but they choose not to in order to maintain a fever pitch, and to get buyers into Toyota dealerships, where they will settle for other wares.

Again, the law cares nothing for industry norms. But even from the perspective of the law, I find it preposterous to assert that Baldwin, after being told that it was a ‘cold gun’ by an AD, had an additional personal responsibility to verify that it was loaded only with blanks and not any live rounds.

Personally celebrating yet another month un-CyberStruck.

How the women he’s impregnated convince themselves to go through with the deed

The problem is that Harris helped Biden significantly with women and POC. Without her in the Veep slot I’m not at all sure that he would have won.

As long as the rulings don’t result in temporary injunctions preventing enforcement of agency decisions, this would be fine. I fear the opposite, though. That would serve the Heritage Foundation just fine.

This specific case does sound like it deserves criticism if it fails. Of course, if it even modestly succeeds, it will just serve as yet another inducement to keep mining existing IP for projects, since that insulates the people involved from taking full responsibility for their failure. I’m reminded by these projects…

It’s all an example of the Greater Fool theory, and has been happening since at least the Dutch Tulip craze. As long as there’s still hope that someone will buy from you at more than you paid, it doesn’t matter how foolish your purchase is.

From a People article:

Given the sentence immediately before this one, a comma between the word ‘employees’ and the following word ‘and’ would have helped immensely.

SAG rules cannot possibly equal a Get Out of Jail Free card. The law cares not for union rules.

I also have a big problem with movie length in a theatre setting. Yeah, I’m an old, but if a director insists on 3 hours to tell the story, I need an intermission so that I can take a piss. Streaming offers a solution for that, even if some of the viewing experience takes a hit.

I think concerts are the best model for theatres putting butts in seats beyond blockbuster films. I saw all three performances of the (supposedly) Grateful Dead finale at Soldier Field streamed live into my local cinema after failing to get tickets. And you know what? I think I enjoyed it more than if I had gotten…

This is definitely a show where rewatching the last episode of the previous season is a must before starting up with the new one, just like I did with Hacks and The Bear. I’m not sure, though, whether rewatching a single episode will be enough with this one.
