Heard numerous stories about how corrupt the cops were here back in the 90s. Like getting speeding tickets and having to go to “traffic court” at the library at 11pm that night with the police chief as the judge.

I worked at a national mortgage company for 4.5 years. Exactly once did owning pencil out cheaper than renting with realistic comps. And that was PITI alone, no replacing an A/C or sump pump or roof.

This reminds me of when one of my bosses decided the new department mission was efficiency and printed out a banner that said EFFICIENCY and taped up on their office window. As a goof, I asked if it was spelled right and they panicked and tore the banner down.

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

One of these guys tried to cover up a murder, closed the most schools in American history and half the city's mental health clinics. Maybe the guy who didn't do that is onto something

Substack and Patreon have softly conned creators into believing a profile = free money. Then, Substack writers like Ana Marie Cox declare the subscription model dead when they've never actually tried it. I was and continue to be right about what's happening: you're not running your own business

When Blue Bell's ice cream killed ppl they concealed the fact and kept selling their product. After that episode, IMO it's journalistic malpractice to keep promoting their every new product like some fun news story w/o ever mentioning it. To me, they've lost all benefit of the doubt.

Fans have been begging for this Blue Bell flavor. It's back.
It pays homage to a treat that was discontinued in 2015.

I live dumb street names. Down the road from my office in Austin, Garfield Street intersected Odie Lane. There was also that neighborhood near Kyle with all the streets named after Olympians like Johnny Weissmuller.

It is fair to assume that people who will not condemn bigotry refuse to do so because, regardless of professed politics, they simply agree in whole or in part.

FURIOUS on Hulu is incredible. Emmy Rossum, Lola Petticrew, and Quincy Tyler Bernstine should win every award. Nothing about it is an easy watch and it comes with all kinds of content warnings, for sexual violence, domestic violence, sex trafficking. But wow, it blew me away.

this may be a stupid take but the upper back of the jacket is making me think it's shapewear, and then it's tucked into his pants which makes the bottom part of the jacket weird and sorta flare out.

This is not quite right - blogging, podcasts, and wikipedia were considered *declassé* not slop, because the *people who made them* were considered unverified outsiders when we still had gatekeepers. AI slop is considered thus because there's nobody home behind the byline.
