Maybe "scrolling Instagram" is a less than perfect measure of "good" art.

this gaffe should follow Eric Schmitt around for the rest of his political life (Jack Smith was actually in Maryland at a HAWKEYES game, not in Atlanta colluding with Fani Willis as Schmitt alleged) (Win McNamee/Getty)

This is true, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a method to come up with an adequate expectation of risk. The thing that I think you are misunderstanding is this: Premium is the expected value of a loss. A very basic example from SOA Exam P: an insurance policy pays $10k for a loss.

The Odyssey (2026) isn't a terrible movie. But, it is unfaithful to the text in a very unsatisfying manner. The analogy that comes to mind is telling the story of the Jedi, but ignoring the part about the force.

An important question that Scorcese raises in "Silence" is the degree to which a "faith" is understood by the people who claim it. The answer depends heavily on the degree to which converts have examined the underlying doctrine.

Total woke cultural victory. We're bringing pronouns back. It is now illegal to be a white male. We're doing May Day parades just for HR ladies.

I visited the small town of Marfa, TX. A local mariachi band greeted us with a song they wrote for our campaign! Our Frontera Tour has been full of special moments — but this was a highlight. 🎶

Within her church, framed by 3 windows for the Trinity, Mary hears the voice of beautiful angel & replies I am the handmaiden of the Lord. A lovely performance staged by Jan van Eyck in 1434.

John Adams took the lead to argue in favor of the Declaration of Independence before the Second Continental Congress. He was a master of rhetoric, and he used his persuasion to achieve a unanimous vote in favor of the language in the declaration on July 2nd, 1776.

I really hate the demographic analysis of "generations." It's an analysis that relies on the conjunction of a category error and Berkson's paradox.

If you are a man who wants to talk to ladies here is my secret trick to get them to talk to you. Adopt a rescue dog, and love it with all your heart. Take good care of it: regular walks, vet visits, doggie day care, treats, dog parks, and, just spending time with your dog.
