Capitalism is the most powerful engine for an economy,
but a car needs more than an engine unless all you want to do is repeatedly crash.
I watched this more than once - I had to, to find anything here beyond an incoherent mess. But I found the ending effective, and the movie impacted my dreams.

I like that at one point every character is worried about a completely different possible explanation of WTF is going on.

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score.

Day Break, starring Taye Diggs.

It's a mystery with a (solved) season-long twisty plot and an (unresolved) background series mystery.

And every time I was sure I'd caught a mistake or plot hole or continuity error, it turned out I was wrong, it was deliberate with a clear explanation.

Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements."

Really meant,

"For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

in February of every odd year, the President should appoint a new Supreme Court Justice and the then-longest serving justice should be retired. That gives a maximum term of 18 years, which is plenty for one person.

For me, depends on the situation. Most fresh pizza it detracts.

But for ground beef + bacon, as a cheeseburger pizza, it's adequate. And with (especially slightly dried out) leftover pizza, you can often improve it by adding some American cheese + garlic salt before reheating.

Pretty sure a number of those folks are extremely happy any time the left retakes this ground. But periodically they see the degrowthers take the lead on the left, and that makes them concerned.

Whether they were successful or not I have no way to evaluate.

Tiktokers did have a campaign going to reserve tickets for the parade. There were two reasons: to try to make it harder for people to get tickets, and to provide a distorted count to the organizers so they'd set up for far more people than were planning to attend. www.forbes.com/sites/emilyb...
