Oh, Nina, what are you doing?
Absolutely the series’s best episode and one of my favorite sitcom episodes generally
12290. AP Bio “Katie Holmes Day” - I’m treating this as a Christmas episode. I forgot how over the top this show got in its final season & even for that this is over the top. Not a complaint! (A-)

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.
It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

This season of The Morning Show honestly rocked. Cory Ellison’s arc paid off emotionally AND logically! There was hot sex and cold betrayal, opera, AI and gulags. Campy and cynical but also finger-wagging and earnest, like The Newsroom making out with Scandal

Therefore, nothing that normal men do—or may want to do—can be considered rape by this definition, no matter how the women or girls it is inflicted on may feel about it.
