Never knew any of this until I was working in credit. The chronological relationship isn’t exactly intuitive.

As a small addendum, over time:
- Some delinquencies become charge-offs. Fewer delinquencies means fewer future charge offs
- fewer charge offs means a company needs a smaller provision, because they can expect fewer charge offs in the current portfolio

So like this is funnier and more offensive than anything anyone else said about Kirk that got them fired

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

How do you issue a binding ruling if you haven’t “resolved the issue”?

Isn’t the whole point of these suits seeking resolution?

The most stunning thing about Belichick's career collapsing and his reputation for anyone under 25 being recast as "horny old dude flaming out in six weeks at North Carolina" is that the football team that made the best decision to keep itself clean throughout this saga was the Atlanta Falcons

"We took freedom of speech away" should be in every campaign ad moving forward.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

I usually get 50k-60k on my pickup. All terrains, mostly on roads, no towing, rarely hauling anything more than a couple hundred pounds.

I’d glad trade an extra set of tires for the ~$2-3k I have coming up for my 30k mile maintenance

Donald Trump has heard the wails and lamentations of all the Rust Belt communities left behind by neoliberalism, and he has a message for them: fuck you and die

How far out are we from “beating the shit out of my kid is my first amendment right”?

Sky Marchini @sky.skymarchini.net · 8d

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

Sometimes I think that liberals were so successful in advancing civil rights that people don’t believe their civil rights are actually at risk. You don’t ironically engage with Neo-nazism if you believe that these people are actually a threat to you. You could do that if you think they’re a joke.
