does it have 12 floors beneath it

Ben Horst @benhorst.bsky.social · 1d

and if the fence turns them in they'll never fence again

Ben Horst @benhorst.bsky.social · 1d

so to get the fence to turn them in you have to give a reward of more than 72 million euro.

what were those jewels valued at? 88 mil euro? and there were 4 thieves? so that's 22 mil euro each.

but the fence will take the vast majority of that. each of the thieves could get as little as 4 million euros.

who is the thief exactly

Ben Horst @benhorst.bsky.social · 1d

he says he kept his underwear on the whole time. his words.

it is possible that the launchers could be wiped out making the tomahawks useless

Ben Horst @benhorst.bsky.social · 1d

each tomahawk costs at least a million dollars, so if ukraine gets 1000 of them it's $1 billion minimum, and under $2 billion.

the launchers are about 6 million a piece and are considerably more limited in terms of availability

the plot of Disclaimer is absolutely exquisite. very well done.

i won't give anything away but one of the major themes is loyalty to family.

Ben Horst @benhorst.bsky.social · 1d

watched Disclaimer. an apple series. based on a book and it's very good with great acting.

they don't like it when people act like people, it reminds them that their model is hopelessly flawed

the stock marketeers hate it when human beings act for other reasons and not the chasing of profit

i am a fan of gamestonk stock memery. the latest target is beyond meat -- funny ppl with extra money are inflating the stock price so that people who have sold it short will lose their shirts

in 1986 mister mister open and closed a concert with the same song. take these broken wings.

somebody wanted the pope to be pope, at least a quorum of cardinals anyway

nobody wanted a king charles, not really

Ben Horst @benhorst.bsky.social · 1d

watched a proclaimers concert in glasgow, and at one point he does fake school cancellations, haha. an awesome bit where the kids are waiting to hear their school.

Ben Horst @benhorst.bsky.social · 1d

who is cooler, the pope or king charles? it's a toughie

the pope is from chicago so that's cool, but king charles just stripped his own brother of some royal titles bc he's a pedo

meanwhile the pope still protects pedos to some degree

i'm not one to comment on cute things but this was the tops

Ben Horst @benhorst.bsky.social · 1d

yeah i feel the empathy basically no matter who it is, but i won't act on it if the person is a p.o.s.

Ben Horst @benhorst.bsky.social · 1d

was in a 'family restroom', it had a sink and a baby changing station, and another room for two toilets, one regular sized and one was a tiny little cute toilet

france: if you just bring back the jewels we won't prosecute, we'll give you 40 million euros and we'll put you on the money

louie anderson made a lot of jokes about his weight and how it was going to be the thing that killed him, but it wasn't. it was the big C. (no not chipotle)

Ben Horst @benhorst.bsky.social · 2d

the louvre theft: priceless but we're calling it 88 million euros

Ben Horst @benhorst.bsky.social · 2d

i think we all probably have a point in which we'd label empathy 'toxic', but the trad folks hate so many people that they need to largely demonize it, so to speak
