Who robbed the Louvre? Correct (and unfortunately way too obscure to do numbers) answers only.

A publicity photo of Robert Redford, George Segal, and other members of the cast of the 1970s jewelry heist movie The Hot Rock lounging on a NYC street corner.

BDSM play requires a high level of trust and an acute awareness and acceptance of your partners' needs and limits. It's a lot deeper than what meets the eye.

The fall of America will be complete when young, smart, and talented people stop coming here, and at the same time, when our young, smart, and talented people start leaving.

So, you want to do a story about my former manager? Because that's all he ever did. Constantly away at seminars.

My old man take for the day: 1970s music is great. I'm addicted to the ultimate 70s soft rock playlist on Spotify, and it's awesome.

Maybe Trump is Akuta.

Akuta, an alien, from an episode of the TV show Star Trek, the original series. He has orange skin with white hair, white eyeliner, and geometric shapes as tattoos on his face.

The U3 rate is useless.

It's the gig jobs. If you work at least one hour for pay or profit during the survey week, then you are counted as employed. So, if you made just one delivery in a week for Uber Eats, you are counted as employed just like a CEO of a Fortune 500 company.

Does anyone else think that Hegseth's attacks on fat guys and beards is a thinly veiled attack on Vance? Maybe Pistol Pete has his eyes on the prize.

The battle to succeed Trump will be epic. None of them are up to the challenge of keeping MAGA together in a post-Trump world.
