The previous equilibirum of "blue states legislate their own rules against gerrymandering, while red states do whatever the hell they want" was a lot less stable than this guy was counting on.

Even without anything that drastic, I'm guessing at least some of this "avoid the tax" advice would end up costing at least as much as, or more than, the tax itself?

I was going to say, this sounds like a very direct remake that surely needs to credit the original, until I saw this acknowledgment farther down in the article:
"John Patton Ford’s film is loosely based on the 1949 classic Kind Hearts and Coronets, starring Alec Guinness."

I went to Ken Martin's timeline and found this from last night. Not sure why you couldn't find this?

The long reach of politics in 2025 continues: Mira Nair has said that she cast Kal Penn in The Namesake largely because the then-teenaged Zohran loved Harold & Kumar and kept insisting that she watch it.

Seems likely to be the effect of Trump insisting on loyalists only this time around at the top, no more candy-ass "government is not just what Trump says it is" types. That leads to more grifters and destroyers all the way down.

They're fucking up in ways I'm not sure anyone had ever thought of before. Like what if an NFL coach literally tried to put you or me in at QB?

I stopped at a newly opened one a few months ago on a summer family trip. The bathrooms really are nicely maintained, but I didn't much else worthy of hype unless you're into the various novelty stuff they have.

A caller to Bomani Jones' podcast had a great story about Dawn Staley at UVa playing against a bunch of HS football players during a summer camp they had there. Caller said she "cooked" all of them, then hit the winning bucket and yelled "all you goddamn football players get the FUCK off my court!"

IMO the best case against now is that peeling off GOPers in Congress to do real political damage to Trump has become doable: Epstein files are the 1st clear evidence of that. It should be equally clear that Massie, MTG, etc. would *not* have been gettable for "impeach Trump over the Epstein files."

The screenwriters cited that specific passage for why they changed his character--they thought it would be too damaging to the power of the ring with viewers if a regular dude could look straight at it and say "I wouldn't take it, no matter what."

That pattern notoriously backfired on the Oscars producers for the 2020 awards: they were so certain Chadwick Boseman would win best actor posthumously that they made it the last award of the night, only to end the show on an awkward absurdity as Anthony Hopkins won and accepted remotely.

Most amusing response of the ones she shared was Gavin Newsom: "Hiking, will call back (he never did)."

Harris in her book sums up responses she got from a bunch of top Dems when she called seeking their endorsements on the day Biden dropped out. Pritzker (according to her) said "as Illinois gov, I'm hosting the convention, so I can't commit." Shapiro immediately committed his support to her.

Plus this guy, he was kind of a big deal. Starred in over 30 movies over 13 years.

Also that Reddit post is completely inventing the "first" claim, which is nowhere in the Variety article (and Cher does get a mention).

Plenty of others decades before that, going at least as far back as Bing Crosby in the early '30s.

My favorite plot point is that Keyes prevents them from cashing in not by figuring out who the mystery man was on the train, but just by getting enough proof that the man was NOT Dietrichson. Then they tease us with Jackson thinking he recognizes Walter--except he ultimately doesn't.

Noting the congressional pension is based on service time, it kicks in at 5 years and her retirement date - Jan. 5, 2026 - will be the first business day after she passes five years since her first swearing in. bsky.app/profile/heli...
Any idea why she's quitting then? Her statement isn't very coherent (big surprise), although it would make more sense as an explanation of just not running for re-election.
