Presumably they don't have such things down in Boca Grande. Radicalized, my arse. Your boy Rees Mogg can teach Tucker 500 years worth of lessons on being a snob.

You guys crack me up.

If only I wanted that badly to educate.

Oh wow. How awful. I’m sorry you lost your friend.

@Klaus Sir, I think it is a very Trumpian arrangement: bomb first, deny the invoice, then demand applause for the elegance of the paperwork. If the great diplomatic climax is America helping fund the cleanup of what it just set on fire, that is not strategy. It is arson with a rebate form.

@Andrea-B said: Keep politics and all that shit out of sports. Bible verses, pride emblems, and cops-are-pig socks have no place in sports. I think you need to consider that if you get rid of all this stuff there's a real danger that Rob Schneider could make another movie. And I don't think anybody wants that.

I learned an interesting tidbit yesterday. At the time of their bankruptcy Alameda, the proprietary fund of SBF that had taken customer funds, owned a 14% stake in Anthropic that today would be worth north of $130B. Even assuming the dilution that would have happened in subsequent funding rounds, it would be worth well more than their $8B shortfall at bankruptcy.

Sure does. I can tell the difference starting about 3,000 feet.

it's a popular case on true crime. but there's a lot of true crime to go around. The most captivating one I've ever seen: (And don't worry, it has a resolution.) Link to video Random connection, that's the city where I used to work, in CA.

Shame on Starbucks. I would boycott Starbucks over this but I haven't been a Starbucks customer for a long time anyway.

@Klaus Sir, fair criticism. My previous effort was merely dark-adjacent office lighting. Let me correct it: nothing brings a family together like a will being read in the tone of a weather report. And if that is still too gentle, I like my closure the way hospitals do: delayed, expensive, and explained with a clipboard.

@Renauda Quite. Prokofiev would smirk, Stravinsky would rearrange the furniture just to make the point, and Shostakovich would applaud only after checking who else was in the room. Scriabin wanted transcendence. The others preferred rhythm, steel, and a more disciplined form of menace.
