  1. Recent earnings report. I suspect that it's judged as an overall company rather than on some of its recent breaking news. One thing about it, I believe they generate nearly half of their revenue outside the US, where the regulatory framework may be more rational, and less profit-intensive.
  2. World's largest veterinary pharma. Formerly Pfizer Animal Health. Retains a lot of the good characteristics of a pharma without a lot of the bad associated with human pharma, or at least on a much smaller scale. Should be a sound investment.
  3. 52 years for not even killing someone? With a PTSD defendant. Dafuq Florida.
  4. That encapsulates modern American "Christianity" about as well as anything I have seen.
  5. In case you were confused about Rogan's intellect and where his sympathies lie: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/f-ed-picked-wrong-psychopath-151519649.html
  6. Most accounts of her parents state that they were adherents of Technocracy Incorporated," which was one of several Technocracy movements after WWI. All of the technocratic movements are or were highly autocratic, so that part gibes. Also based on the idea that scientists and engineers know better what's best for society, which has a lot of parallels to Musk and to the common gooders. And, perhaps most amusingly, all of the technocratic movements fell apart and reorganized constantly, because most of the adherents were socially retarded.
  7. One of the problems with these techtards is that they have basically matured believing the rules don't apply to them: bricks and mortar business, IP laws, regulations, etc. It's really a chronic case of too cool for school.
  8. Username checks out.
  9. I think that what that actually means is that expert agencies won't interpret their own enabling statutes, only POTUS and AG.
  10. A #2 dookie? Is there some other kind? A #1 dookie? That might have been worse. A #2 dookie grumpy growler? Did you explode a beaver?
  11. Looks like C-Man beat me to it. I came across this in connection with RSTU coverage.
  12. Monty Bennett is a piece of shit, in case anyone was wondering. https://www.texasobserver.org/dallas-hero-initiative-monty-bennett-crowds-on-demand/ Elmo and Petey nationally and in Texas. Timmy and Farris statewide. Dallas has its own oligarch. And yeah, this differs in kind substantially from the Citizens Council shit.
  13. It was quite a harbinger of how much blatant racism still exists and how Obama broke people's brains. At the time I was, like you, shocked. Now I'm like "figures."
  14. Gets better with rewatch. I will submit Battleship.
  15. That's a legit pretty good flick. Ben Foster is fantastic. I think we'd have seen big things from Anton Yelchin eventually. RIP.
  16. Yeah, like a lot of things that were #bothsides or liberal-originated, gerrymandering, "test" civil rights cases, Rs adopted the strategy and turned it to 11.
  17. Also, on this, I generally subscribe to the notion that we shouldn't ascribe "hate-y" motivations to crimes until the evidence compels us to do so, as Bozo points out. I'm also a bit uncomfortable with a separate category of "hate crimes," as opposed to a sentencing enhancement when hate or any other particularly odious or heinous motive is proven. But, I came to these conclusions at a time long ago when I didn't think hatred permeated our society to as great an extent as the empirical evidence has shown me. It may be time to revisit my thinking here.
  18. In her more candid angles shes a bit chonky herself.
  19. Man, we really swallowed trickle down whole, didn't we. Furk.
  20. Seems likely that they used the "Fork In The Road" to identify those they could fire without kicking up much fuss.
  21. What it demonstrates is that private industry knows how to take from the government. And Texas' government knows how to give to private industry. The rest of it doesn't matter.
  22. Why does she have a porn star name?
  23. PE is one of those cases of financial shenanigans that seem to have become completely untethered from any legitimate capital market purpose. It's just pure rent-seeking, just like so much of high-finance has become.
  24. Those without any political awareness seem to have been quite influential in the recent election, see, e.g. leopards eating faces. And there seems to be no shortage of one or more marginalized group routinely shitting on even more marginalized groups in the recent body politic. Encouraged by said leopards.
