Star Trek Strange New Worlds S4 E7 has tremendous emotional payoff, but takes a long time to get there. In a season of "novelty" episodes it's hard to wait for it. Should have been E1 of this season. Would have built more trust in this season. Regardless, E8 better be a straight up non bizzaro ep

COYOTE VS. ACME is glorious. Funniest movie of the year, emotionally moving, and Will Forte is doing amazing work. Any Looney Tunes fan will adore it. As anti-corporate as it can get, subversive and so very punk rock. WB knew what they were doing when they dumped it. This cartoon kills fascists.

movies made in the 2020s have some to hundreds of digital VFX shots. When press, directors, or actors say it's shot for real & practical, they are lying and taking away the credit to VFX artists making the movie amazing. CC: Joseph Kosinski, a piece of shit liar. Tom Cruise can also go to hell.

When a franchise can expand, evolve, and be new while maintains its core nemesis: which of course is the Necronomicon. Ash was amazing. And we got 30 episodes of Ash vs Evil Dead with 3 films. That's a hella lot. So glad Evil Dead continues to explore new characters and tones. It's all so great

Always providing some clarity about movie things. In this case, clarifying that IMAX doesn't really mean anything. It's a brand name that doesn't translate to being better because you have no idea what you are going to get till you are there. Which is why stopped going to IMAX anything.

So... why are we sending humans to orbit the moon? Just light billions of dollars on fire instead. Space is NOT for human exploration. It's for probes. Star Trek is fiction. Most of Apollo and this new series of missions is what we call a shameful waste. Humans in space is of zero benefit.

Miller / Lord are a rarity in that they discuss the advantages of using multiple techniques to bring fantastical images to life, which includes 2,000 ish digital effects. Director Joseph Kosinski from Iowa & dir of Maverick does the opposite and denies VFX artists' work that make his films amazing.

In a five-year-old class action on behalf of current and former Pennsylvania teachers, three investment consultants have now agreed to pay a total of $30 million. A fourth has yet to give up the fight. My latest for The Allocator/S&P Global. pardot.withintelligence.com/e/284832/l-2...

Payouts for PSERS

Aksia is the lone consultant still fighting a pension client lawsuit that Hamilton Lane Advisors, Portfolio Advisors, and now Aon have paid a combined $30m+ to settle, according to court records.

The lawsuit alleges that the four firms, as investment advisors and consultants, recommended unsuitably expensive investments to the $81.4B Pennsylvania Public School Employees Retirement System (PSERS).

Suburban middle-school teacher Kevin Steinke originally filed the suit in Pennsylvania state court in June 2021, alleging that PSERS paid its expert advisors millions of dollars for woeful returns — while also paying “exorbitant” fees to private investment managers.

Aksia, Aon, Hamilton Lane, and Portfolio Advisors all denied the allegations, but three out of the four have now settled.

Last fall, Hamilton Lane agreed to pay $4m and Portfolio Advisors $11.25m in a joint settlement approved last fall, according to court documents.

Aon is the latest to relent, striking a $15m payout deal, per new court docs. This is on top of $7m Aon paid its grumpy customer in 2024 over errors in a 2020 risk share analysis.

With Pennsylvania-based Hamilton Lane dropped from the suit, Aksia and Aon filed last December to move the case to federal court, albeit still in Philly. The teacher’s lawyers asked that the case be sent back to state court, contending in a January filing that Aksia and Aon missed a 30-day window for making the matter federal.

Aksia and Aon have since opposed that request, arguing that the 30-day window began later than the teacher’s attorneys claim and that they were well within it.

PSERS’ most recent annual report, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, lists Aksia as a private markets consultant and Portfolio Advisors as a private equity fund manager. The report doesn’t refer to Aon or Hamilton Lane.

Portfolio Advisors was acquired by FS Investments in 2023, and last year they rebranded together as Future Standard.

Representatives for all parties involved didn’t immediately respond to The Allocator’s requests for comment.

Many states have a key deadline today for people to enroll in an ACA plan. But Congress let expire the enhanced subsidies that helped make some of those plans more affordable. For small business owners and self-employed people, it’s created chaos: 19thnews.org/2026/01/affo...
