Margin Call turns out to have been too idealistic about the banking industry.

No one deserves the pay packages these guys get, but if you’re getting one you should definitely be able to think far enough ahead to say “Maybe let’s hedge a little just in case the unpopular guy’s narrow win turns out not to augur the beginning of permanent one-party rule.”
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

A genuinely terrifyingly huge goose.

If Universal wanted to cash in on #Wicked, then instead of doing "Wicked 3," they should adapt Baum's second Oz book, "The Land of Oz." No one has ever properly adapted it. And they probably still won't, because the main male hero, Tip, becomes a girl at the end, & rules Oz. America would melt down.

Watching AUSTIN POWERS and another reminder of the wildness of time.
Powers is frozen for 30 yrs, defrosting in 1997.
Surprised with all the reboots, they aren’t doing a 2027 reboot of how a secret agent frozen in 1997 comes back in 2027 to defeat an evil henchman.
Maybe too on the nose.

Without doubt the oddest item (and one of the most popular) in the Lord's Museum. The sparrow killed mid-flight by a ball bowled by Cambridge University's Jahangir Khan to Tom Pierce v MCC at Lord's on July 3rd 1936. Both ball and bird were declared dead

I got a couple of sprues of Automatons that I've put together for a couple of scenarios.
I've also made a couple like my Empire troopers. These unfortunate souls have fallen victim to a plague!
I've also got some other bits on the way, more on them soon! 😳👍
