Of Russel's movies, I've only seen I Heart Huckabees, and after reading about his antics during the filming, fuck that guy.
He's term-limited I think.
Wait, wait, not that fast!
That's not the typical application of the poophole loophole, but I approve of it.
That 20 year ban on negotiating drug prices passed with only Republican votes in the dead of night, holding the vote open until they convinced enough Republicans to change their vote.
And every single negative thing in that bill gets blamed on Obamacare.
My wife is a vet tech, there's a chance that's a very tiny tick. But it is also really hard to tell from that photo.
I can't see any way that they win this case on the merits of the argument.
But if I'm wrong and they win, a whole lot of lawsuits are gonna disappear. That's a terrible precedent to set.
I wonder if they have some longer term strategy here because this story is far too damaging over a 50k payout.
Like maybe they make an insane argument to undermine arbitration clauses so they can win elsewhere.
Because this is a maliciously bad look for Disney. Nobody should ever have to think about streaming contracts while deciding where to eat.
Carve the Mouse! Break it up!
My car broke down one night after dropping a friend off at his place.
I was about ten miles from home in a very hilly area.
A guy in a car around my size pulled over, pulled out a tow strap, and carefully got me home, even though the strap came off every other turn or so.
I tipped him with the rest of the meager cash I has.
A few weeks later he dropped by and asked me to sign up for his pyramid scheme. But the nice driver part was days earlier, I don't hold that against him.
I live in northern Minnesota. We understand that if someone is on the side of the road - especially in winter - that can be a crisis.
I have never been roadside in Minnesota while waiting for a tow truck without multiple people stopping to see if I'm okay.
We look after each other, but this was an exceptional story.
Also had a guy find me with a flat who had an air tank in his car, but it was empty. So he took us with him to get air and then filled my tire up and stayed with me and my wife until he was sure it was properly filled. Wasn't even winter, just cold and rainy.
Well, there's "information wanted to be free" software pirates who might consider themselves Communists.
But Tankies are a whole different ball of dung.
In the late 80s I ended up on a bus from North Minneapolis to South Minneapolis at around 9pm after a school play.
With me were my sister and several of our friends.
I'll never know if this was in any way an out of the ordinary ride for the time and place. For context, we are all 13-15 years old, all white kids.
-
A middle-aged black man holding a very small suitcase gets on and walks to the very back of the bus, sitting next to one of my sisters friends. Out of his jacket he pulls a few red roses and hands them to her. He then begins to flirt with her, angering other passengers and causing the bus driver to scream at him and kick him off.
-
A fight breaks out in the front of the bus. Everyone, including the driver and the couple fighting, are laughing. Then one stumbles into the driver and they get kicked off.
-
A drunk man comes and sits next to me and my friend Nick. Nick and I are chatting about a game, probably Warhammer Fantasy.
The man asks Nick for a favor.
"What?"
"Teach me your language."
"What??"
"Teach me Russian."
"I don't know Russian!"
"Teach me anyway."
That's it. Of all of those I'm now sure the drunk guy was just deliberately fucking with us. But we also all made it home safely. Just a little window into 80s Minneapolis night life.
