Of course, but I'm just saying *if* that were to happen because you know how Hollywood works....

Majel absolutely deserves one of the most acclaimed and Oscar-winning actresses of our time if someone is going to fill her shoes as Lwaxana.

I always thought that if they needed Lwaxana for a future project - and wanted to go for a name - Meryl Streep 110% could fucking nail it.

How about a Sam Mendes "in the trenches" movie between IV and V, à la 1917?

Hell, I want Kathryn Bigelow’s Mara Jade movie.

Sure we'll never get to see Steven Soderbergh's Ben Solo movie, but there's still hope for Yorgos Lanthimos' Babu Frik movie and Richard Linklater's Unkar Plutt movie.

You saw the story about how Pringles loved my idea for Thanksgiving Dinner flavor but Proctor & Gamble shot it down?

Yeah, that one hurt.

I just applied to a payroll position at a local bank, and then I have some feelers out at multimedia company, which I'm really hoping I get.

I just don't wanna put all my eggs in one basket

I'm looking for a job myself, Unfortunately, my area is basically either service or doctors/lawyers - the former I am wildly overqualified for, the latter I am wildly underqualified for, so...yeah.

😕

I vote go for it.

18 months gives you plenty of time to prep for a future more solid job, and - who knows - even if it isn't CtFT, it may land you a different FT

That being said, 7 of 12 committee votes are needed for plan approval, and allies hold 8 seats, so.....

Now, come January 2027, that number will (hopefully) change.

By law, he has to get approval to start construction, but they can do all the demo work they want.

And the NCPC process often takes years.

...by law, of course meaning "who the fuck knows anymore"?

So the East Wing may sit there half-demolished for years while the NCPC works on the plans.

What Is Return on Investment (ROI) and How to Calculate It

TheTrekspert wants a giant obsidian sphere @thetrekspert.bsky.social · 2d

@ohcatrina.bsky.social @thomasthecat.bsky.social Even just through BSky, the vibe you two put out is absolutely immaculate!

Despite only meeting half of you four years ago (I still feel bad for interrupting your lunch!), I have been oddly invested in this.

Return on investment (ROI) is a performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or compare the efficiency of several investments.
