  1. I do like to chuckle imagining all the side eye John gets at the Klan meetings when Kumar is mentioned.
  2. To be fair, that’s not a Harris thing, that’s a woman thing
  3. I’m skeptical of this, as well. I think most of the disgusted far left has had their tantrum over Gaza, the border, whatever, and are back in the tent. Kamala is wisely making populist economic issues her campaign focus because that’s the persuadable voter remaining in the swing states.
  4. This is from my network and not me directly, but I’m hearing stories of 30-40 trigger lead derived phone calls to a borrower in the first two days after credit pull. Someone also claimed upwards of 50 and they had previously signed up on the opt out pre-screen website. We also appear to be about to lose an approved refi because the servicer made an offer better than ours after we ordered the payoff (of course theirs is capturing a couple of weeks of pricing improvements). TL:DR-prep your borrowers for a deluge of sales calls and don’t order the payoff until right before closing.
  5. When Cheney came out for Harris I thought “nobody gives a shit what a traditional Republican house Rep from Wyoming thinks besides Democrats.” That said, people like Adam Kinzinger seem to think it’s a big deal so I guess I’ll go with it. I’ve tried to search my mind for a Republican that is both popular and not for Trump and can’t think of any now that GHWB and McCain have passed away.
  6. Remember these are poll questions (which I haven’t seen) so the responses are probably two or four different options. In other words, it’s picking up a vibe rather than interrogating the response or trying to check it for validity.
  7. I’ve got a meeting so can’t check on this, but I was under the impression he had a ++slider, a +curve and a neutral change.
  8. Also on the Pod Save America ep from this am, they discussed the Times/Sienna poll and mentioned that 85% of those polled believed that a Trump victory would be better for men. Obviously that’s a majority of respondents from both genders.
  9. I actually was thinking about both of those scenes when I trying to articulate what didn’t work. I see what they were trying to do-those are the bridge to the fantastical elements in the third act. I think there’s something about the way they were shot, particularly the fight club, that was too just too much. Maybe it’s over saturation of colors, maybe it’s CGI, I just know it didn’t work for me. It’s like two different movies between the first half and the second. If I was script doctoring I’d say “start with a scene that shows off the fantastical elements so that the audience is prepared for it later.”, which obviously they did and it still doesn’t work for me.
  10. I was just listening to the Pod Save America guys from this morning and one of them made the point that that Trump’s ceiling is his floor. Kamala has energized 9/10 of the Biden 2020 voters-the debate is chance for the last tenth. I’m hopeful that’s an oversimplification because I would think new voters replacing olds would have resulted in a stronger starting advantage for a Dem.
  11. Hot take-the best part of Shang Chi was Simu and Awkwafina being stupid at the beginning. Everything after grew more and more untethered from the real world, which deprived the climax from there being any real stakes.
  12. James Earl Jones
  13. I swear I’ve heard that voice before…
  14. I thought this NY Times comment was remarkably spot on:
  15. Lina Hidalgo is going to whup his ass in 2030, mark it down.
  16. She has to include them for rhetorical purposes because our nation clearly doesn't give a shit about teacher compensation.
  17. Hey! I had three classes with Daron Shaw.
  18. I don’t either, but I also think pollster methodology has over corrected after the 2016 surprise and they are exaggerating Trump support.
  19. It was probably my secret crush Annie Lowery in The Atlantic that I saw this, but a conservative, in good-faith policy towards child care costs might be something like paying mothers a UBI or a child stipend. Her point (if I’m attributing it correctly) was that household labor and child-rearing is just something our economic measures fail to capture; it clearly offers huge value because we can gauge it off what third party providers charge. This would, of course, be very in keeping with a conservative, family values first campaign that no one will really run on because the GOP donor class care only about tax cuts and fucking over brown people.
  20. I think Framber is the clear luxury item among the three. If Bregman would take Chapman’s deal I think the Astros would do it.
  21. Jesus Christ, just saw the score. Usually when your pitcher gets hit like that they go on the DL for something.
  22. Damn, flashbacks. Over time I had forgotten just how nuts she was.
  23. If that’s true it’s because there are zero residuals and everyone in the production has figured out they have to be paid upfront.
  24. Cunt is a little strong, no? It’s not like she’s running for governor of Arkansas.
  25. Haha, 90% of Fox viewers don’t understand cringe or simply lack the experience with shame to understand the alleged criticism.
