Turns out, that guy used to write for Richard Spencer.

What do you mean by “Despite the polls…”? They’re essentially tied in all the swing states and Harris is up in the national polls: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/national/?ex_cid=abcpromo

I love it but even in high school, I knew I didn’t want kids. People told me seeing my friends have kids would cause me to change my mind but it only reinforced my preference. Having kids is a huge amount of work and commitment (not to mention the expense). I love to travel and I’ve been able to go to places and do things you can’t (or just wouldn’t want to) do with kids. I also like that I was able to take risks with my career. It’s much easier to start a business or join an early stage company or whatever if you don’t need the stability kids need.

So, for me, it’s amazing. I feel for people who want kids but never had them, though. I know a few and they’re happy — freedom is a nice consolation prize — but it wasn’t their dream.

You can check if your ballot was received on a web site and they said if you know your ballot was in there, to reach out and request a new one.

What’s Dr. Phil’s deal? I don’t keep up with celebrities. Is he a sex pervert or something?

Renminbi would already be a reserve currency if they didn’t have currency controls. The reason the dollar and (to a lesser extent) euro, Swiss franc, etc. serve that role is because no one really has to worry about withdrawing their funds and converting them. China can obviously get there but that sort of trust takes time and probably other reforms in China.

For the record, I’m not talking about politics or who is good or bad here. I’m just talking about the basic reality of business transactions. Being one of the currencies accepted in global contracts requires a lot of trust.

Comedian is a strong word for someone with different riffs on the same bad joke. I’d never heard of him before but Yakov Smirnoff had more range. Being edgy isn’t a joke by itself. Motherfucker stole his jokes from whatever 12 year-olds he either fucks or plays video games online with.

Great comedians can take you on a whole journey with one bit where you laugh at him/her, yourself, the situation, etc. and then, often, you laugh hardest when the punch line comes and you learn something. There’s never been a time when more classic comedy specials are available to stream and they chose the worst comedian ever to read jokes off an incel message board.

This is obviously one of the more tragic wars in modern history but that is good trolling.

How will California ever develop a film industry without corporate tax credits?

Oh, please. We all use burner phones routed through Egypt to call Michigan state legislators. It’s as American as Mexican food.
