Just a reminder that there's a Will Shakespeare miniseries from the heyday of BBC historicals starring Tim Curry as Shakespeare and Ian McShane as Marlowe, and it's on youtube:

I feel like this is an analogy for something...
HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

American healthcare: You are a doctor and have a cancer that you are an expert in. But insurance denies your treatment. By @harrymok.bsky.social
He’s a leading expert in nonsmoker lung cancer. After he got the disease, insurance denied his treatment
OPINION: Stanford Dr. Bryant Lin is both a patient and an advocate in yet another vexing health care problem: insurance denials.

This is just new things are bad conservatism wrapped up in the thinnest leftist wrapping paper imaginable.
Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

It's hard for any movie to claim to be the #1 comedy of all time. Comedies exist in the context of their time and place.
In any event, while I would not consider a number of movies on this list to be comedies, let my sugges the television series is worth a watch.

This makes sense. If you want to maximize shareholder value, you're going to experiment with a number of different things. Some of the most profitable will be fraudulent.
I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Jeff Bezos has spoken!
The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

The ROI on those denotations has been huge.
We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

Turning off the AI in Gmail causes your account to no longer slit your emails up through Primary, Promotions, and Social. That's because Google is a petulant little bitch who doesn't like that you told them to fuck off with their bullshit slop scam.
