I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

obviously not the major driver of his health concerns but it is very funny to read A Christmas Carol as an adult and realize that when tiny tim first says "God bless us, every one!" he's a severely malnourished child and they've given him a cup of hot gin

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

In the abstract it's good that NYC still has some 1985-style rich guys, where it's just some potato-shaped blowhard dunce who owns a bunch of parking garages or some shitty family business everyone hates. That scene shouldn't all be hedge fund "poker guys" or whatever. But the 1985 guys suck, too.
Big Apple billionaire John Catsimatidis planned to move his business to New Jersey if Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor. Now he’s reconsidering.

In high school my buddy and I told our teacher the reason we were tardy was we had just met Pat Morita at Dunkin Donuts. We produced a Dunkin Donuts napkin with a forged autograph as proof. The teacher was excited and told the class about it.

I don’t think unrealized gains should be taxed.
However, getting a loan against unrealized gains should count as a realization of those gains. Borrow $10 million against the $1 billion company you founded? Great job! That is $10 million you earned and should be taxed on
