Some part of my brain (usually but not always less than half) is constantly running through the Girls5eva theme song.

I said this in a NY Times story last week about the WA millionaire tax, but let’s bring back shame. Even if billionaires don’t know it’s wrong to do shit like this, they should know it’s embarrassing.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin has now spent $100 million to fight California’s proposed billionaire tax—he could owe $13 billion if he loses | Fortune
The state’s ultrawealthy, including Larry Page and Peter Thiel, have similarly donated to efforts opposing the wealth tax.

Seattle apartment buildings used to be called things like "The Cedar Arms" and now they're all called FLUX or interSector. Even if I was in tech, I would not want to live in FLUX or interSector.

Everybody in my earlier thread is calling the dog from the Tom Hanks movie "Hooch" and it's driving me nuts. For the last time, Hooch was the cop. The dog was named "Turner."

i think it's way worse than this. i think it's bc people increasingly refuse to meaningfully differentiate between real life tragedies and fictional tragedies, so long as they can appear aggrieved by a tragedy's impact on their emotions.

Yeah, this is the piece I want to read. We all knew that Where the Red Fern Grows was sad! This was the point of the book! Your real-life childhood dog will die too and that's why there is art about it! "I refuse to watch this one kind of sad thing" seems like a new development.

Has anybody written the piece about how movies like Heart of the Beast and Good Dog now have to pre-announce "It's ok, audiences, the dog doesn't die!" Huge cultural shift from just 10-15 yrs ago when audiences who--I promise--LOVED DOGS JUST AS MUCH were perfectly fine with Marley & Me or whatever?

It's very simple. This is my last campaign stop. In the next month, my opponents will spend an estimated combined total of 178 million dollars campaigning for your vote. I, too, will spend 178 million dollars. On you. If elected, I will send each and every registered voter a check for 4,072 dollars and 65 cents.

It might be too late for most to catch it in theaters, but THE RIVALS OF AMZIAH KING is something special. Easily one of the best musical/comedy/heist/revenge thrillers ever made about beekeeping.
