I haven't seen 12 Years a Slave because I read the book when it came out and that was enough for me. I didn't need to see a movie adaptation.

*moderate* means in the pocket of the banks and NYC real estate among other things. This is not good at all.
Menin, who represents the Upper East Side, said she had the support of at least 34 current and incoming City Council members, more than the 26 votes needed to become the Council’s speaker, considered the second most powerful job in city government.

oh this is absolutely what i think. i think they feed him fake polls and outright AI slop
At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.
Trump responds to a detailed report about his waning energy and propensity to sleep through on-camera events by calling the New York Times's Katie Rogers ugly

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

The rule would've set up testing to identify cancer-causing asbestos in talc-containing products.
Contamination has repeatedly been found in talc-based cosmetics before.
