How many Adams appointees are crooks? That we know of.
It is typical for new administrations to clear out political appointees who served the prior mayor, though it is not always done with as much lead time or so extensively. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/n...

I would make them reboot Larry Bishop's Mad Dog Time as a trilogy. It's the camomile tea variety of John Wick.

So Labor and the Liberals teamed up to pass legislation to give police the power to recommend cancellation of Centrelink payments of people who have not been found guilty of a crime by a court of law. It’s discriminatory financial punishment of people in poverty who are already over-policed

i would have the Marine Corps hold Steven Spielberg's family hostage until he did a two season miniseries of book accurate adaptations of Jurassic Park and The Lost World
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

I need for the producers to give Trump a cameo that involves a very dangerous stunt.
Trump personally rebooting the Rush Hour franchise was by far my favorite story of the day.

They literally say he violated terms of service by committing suicide.
“OpenAI’s court filing argued that the harms in this case were at least partly caused by Raine’s ‘failure to heed warnings, obtain help, or otherwise exercise reasonable care,’ as well as the ‘failure of others to respond to his obvious signs of distress.’”
OpenAI denies allegations that ChatGPT is to blame for a teenager's suicide
Adam Raine's family sued the AI company in August. On Tuesday, OpenAI said in a new court filing that it isn't responsible for the teen's death.

When people say “more supply of housing will lower demand which lowers prices” as a solution to housing crisis
what they’re really saying is I have zero idea how finance works in 2025 and learned absolutely nothing from 07’ economic collapse.
