tremors and jaws are both great movies, and Jaws probably succeeds more as a work of horror. but Tremors is actually perfect. an almost unique example of a film executed flawlessly in line with its vision.

Fellow FTX executive Caroline Ellison is out of jail, and the Manifund effective altruist grantmaking organization has just let slip they hired her. She “brings specific, useful expertise around finance”, they say, which yeah — much in the same way that Bernie Madoff had very specific expertise.
Meanwhile, his fellow former FTX executive, Caroline Ellison, has been free from prison since January, and has now found gainful employment! She will be working for Manifund, an effective altruist grantmaking organization. In a blog post explaining why he hired her, CEO Austin Chen listed first among his bullet points “I specifically enjoyed Caroline’s Tumblr and other writings, which I found thoughtful and relatable.” (This is the blog where Ellison regularly blogged about “human biodiversity”, a euphemism for scientific racism, and wrote, “how do I signal my genuinely sweet and feminine nature on my dating profile? should it go before or after the section on wire fraud”). He also wrote that “Caroline brings specific, useful expertise around finance and systems management to Manifund.”16 Which, yeah, I guess I can't argue with that, in the same way that Bernie Madoff had very specific expertise.FTX essentially bankrolled Manifund and the associated Manifold Markets (think Polymarket but with fake money) through grants and investments. This may explain why Chen, citing a “keen debt” to FTX, decided to hire Ellison and pay her using funds derived from her fraud — money Manifund is currently fighting the FTX estate over rather than returning to creditors.17

Lol wow
Described with the subtlety of a brick as “MELANIE (40), a fat blue-hair,” the woman, blasting NPR, revs up again and fatally hits ICE agent “Juan” with her car. Then his ICE partner, “Mike,” shoots her in a justifiable killing.

Melanie reacts to the drawn gun with panic...

She MASHES on the gas as she throws the car into reverse, accidentally SLAMMING Juan out of the way. He goes flying into the gutter, bleeding...

And as the car reverses, Mike FIRES TWICE through the

windshield...

The first shot takes the [sic] Melanie in the neck, below her covid

mask. The second in the head, above her covid mask.

Blood SPLATTERS on her PASSENGER’s (40s, female, overweight)

What's especially notable is that after having his nose rubbed deep in the unwashed crack of his own stupidity, the Honorable Senator doubles down and insists Jack Smith is a perjuring dirtball. Even Emily Latella, on being lurched back to reality, offers up a quiet "nevermind."
