FWIW, Leyendecker was a baller because he felt like being broke and hungry fueled his creative drive.

$25k in 1925 dollars is about $1300. But yeah.

Does Wiseman say "Team?" at the end like a Millenial saying, "Chat...?"

I love the scrappy-kid freckles on the turtle!

Yes. Wars are the temper tantrums of authoritarian sociopaths trying to reinforce their own fragile egos. (And probably make money.)

What I Learned About Billionaires at Jeff Bezos’s Private Retreat For the richest men on Earth, everything is free and nothing matters.

Very good. We need the curtain pulled back on these guys by people insightful, independent and incisive enough to cut them and their bullshit down to size. Not surprised a screenwriter fits the bill - really nice job by Noah Hawley.

Xitter post by @Merman Melville 4:03 AM - Jan 25. 2019 "Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds.

I don't know, but it probably includes things like being able to do math and tell time.

Hunter S Thompson would be so happy, and also horrified, that his adrenochrome bit from 'Fear and Loathing' is *still* living rent-free in the heads of these 'flag-sucking half-wits.'

I remember reading that Bell Telephone did research and found that a recorded woman's voice was more well-received than a man's, because of the days when women operators were the norm.

"No 'best Chino' like there's no 'best coffee'" is too complicated a statement for some people now, but those folks are just lazy.

He deserves to be charged with contempt of Congress for insisting that up is really down.

What I'd really love to see is an ex-Marvel vis dev group form up and go about doing their thing for everybody else BUT Disney.

I just learn about these things from other people posting about them. So, sorry for your stress but thank you for being part of my intellectual firewall!

If it's not from the Gee-yaw-teen region, it's just a sparkling billionaire eliminator.
