In New York it was played as camp, NY style. Not exactly comedy but definitely not dead serious. Camp in New York is very different from Camp in London and is not well understood. Remember "Bat Boy"? Major hit in NY that ran for years but died in days on the West End.

What does this image tell you? It tells you MAGA followers are NOT buying Treasury bonds, or why would it exist?

A few years ago I found my reading rate slowing down. After a while I realized it was my failing eyesight. Switched to audiobooks and instantly waslq back to a book a week. Only wish the range of to available audio books was wider

Weirdly enough, Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol was really not bad. (Yes there really was such a thing)

A lot of that has to do with the end of the SALT deductions and the cap on mortgage deductions. Essentially the government used to subsidize first time home ownership, and not by a small amount.

You have it backwards. The remake was extremely faithful to the original, not the early version, which completely dropped the paranoia and turned it into a standard monster movie. note however that the original was notable for one of the first uses of overlapping dialog in cinema

My take is she realizes that if she wants a post-Trump career in politics she has to turn on him, now. And my guess is she will not be the last to do so.

Recently some voices on the right have been trying to claim Norman Rockwell as one of their own. He was not.

Look at the cost. At the time Epstein was going there it was free. It was the school smart working-class and poor kids went to.

Epstein didn't go to a prep school or elite college. Cooper Union, the free college he dropped out of, had no fraternities. But he did come from a neighborhood with plenty of organized crime.

One of the odd things about Epstein is he had no college degree, and what college he did have was at the decidedly non-ivy Cooper Union (which was a free university at the time). He went to a public high school, one geared toward jocks, not academics. An ivy league wannabe

To put the ADP numbers in context, during the entire past 6 months the PRIVATE sector added less than 150k jobs. That's the lowest gain since Covid and what it typically gained per month during Biden.
