I can only speak for myself, but as a Star Wars fan, I'm very aware it's fantasy. Shit man, it's got wizards.

I wonder what John Oliver is going to buy?

I thought about that. Apparently the short interest was so high they were charging shorts crazy interest rates to borrow it. You'd have to bet on a huge drop in a very short amount of time. I can't be bothered to look it up but I think it was something crazy like 40-50x a normal rate. One of the only reasons to hold was to charge short sellers interest, for a sane person anyway.

The 52-week high is just under $80. That would be intra-day though, maybe it never closed above $65.

Hopefully the big studios doing shit like this leads to a resurgence of true indie cinema. I won't hold my breath for it, but I'll hope.

Common misconception.

July and August were renamed. The original names were derived from five and six. The extra two months that threw everything off were January and February. When 5-10 were named January and February didn't even have names, it was just that cold period when there was no planting or harvesting. There were a bunch of other changes to the calendar over the centuries before we got where we are too.

Yeah, they kind of had a point until they busted out the incel-speak at the end.

I don't know what "very little" means to you, but I have friends that are married with children, unlikely to face violence motivated by bigotry (location dependant, YMMV), and have legal protections from discrimination in housing and employment.

When I was a kid they could get fired or evicted with no recource, and if they had the temerity to poke their head out of the closet someone could kick their ass with impunity unless they were seriously injured or killed, and sometimes even then.

But sure, "very little," let's go with that.

It's a lot easier to tolerate the copaganda when they're almost exclusively going after rapists.

The thing I found funny about SVU is someone obviously said "shit, Olivia has been at this for decades, she should be a captain by now," so they made her one but she's still taking calls, the first on the scene, and participating in the investigation.

It'd be a damn shame if everyone started putting pixelfed at the end of every message to both deny threads content and create a Streisand effect.

If you want to know how bad we're being fucked, search for the PPI, the producer price index. CPI, the one we always hear about, is the measure of inflation to us, the consumer. The PPI is the measure of inflation to producers, what they pay for goods and services to produce the goods and services we buy.

The PPI has been back to "normal" for a while now. Pretty much as soon as the post COVID logistics issues were mostly ironed out. The difference between PPI and CPI changes is almost all profit.

We don't get daily articles on the PPI though, I wonder why.

Tell people about PPI whenever you can, online or off, the more people know, the better. It's easy enough to say inflation is just down to greed but being able to back it up by comparing two simple charts will help people really understand.

CPI

Yeah, whenever you have dead space on one side you hug that side to give more space to both you and the person on the other side.

Last spot on the aisle, curb, pillar between spots, cart return, whatever.

Being a cybertruck driver he's almost certainly a douche, but this isn't why he's a douche.
