Doing some research with some 90s magazines and this series of amazing horror movie ads came up - I don't know who the artist was, but I think they are terrific fun!

My neighbor told me his AI company keep eating all his investors’ capital so I asked how much capital he has and he said he just goes to the market and gets more capital so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding institutional investors to AI then his CFO started crying.

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.

I'm not kidding about the torpedos either. Georg loved them so much that in 1911 he married the granddaughter of Robert Whitehead - the man whose name was on the very tools of von Trapp's trade.
Georg and Agathe von Trapp before their marriage. Those of you about to make a "is that a torpedo in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?" joke should be ashamed of yourself. No self-respecting submariner entertaining dangerous ambitions would be caught on the surface like this.

So we ourselves an extraordinary contrast. A charter school can build two days of home learning into its model. But a sick or disabled child at a state school can be doing teacher-set work at home and still enter the system as absent.
