Back in the 90s and aughts you could get pizza or Chinese delivered. Usually only at the cost of throwing a few singles for the driver. While it was probably exploitative of the drivers, it did not take 30% of the value of the meal and send it to a rich moron in Silicon Valley. It was not seen as super luxurious to get pizza delivered on a Friday night.

2019: you could buy a house if you never went to Starbucks!

2025: no one cares how much money you save working from home, get back to work, get back to the kitchen, deal with the tarrifs!

The fence? He is friends with the thief and the reader.

If I learned anything playing Risk, is that you are fucked if you are in the lead.... And especially fucked if you go on an offensive.

Her popularity could conceivably tank.

I'll buy a TV station and have it only run the Terminator franchise. All day. Everyday.

The NYT article is specifically about Andor

It's like a start up. Show up early and buy in on low stocks, work your ass off, retire at 40. I'd assume it's something like that. Pick the best place to build your house, claim all the resources.

Or maybe he just wanted solitude.

My dad is about 60. White Midwestern man. Loved trash TV right after reality TV had that first big wave. He loved the one about tow trucks and The Apprentice. My dad thought it was so cool.

I also had an ancient as shit 5th grade teacher in about 1999. She was maybe... 60? Older? She would always say dumb shit like "as rich as Donald Trump, but you guys are too young to know about him."

In the Sopranos, Tony's son is coming of age and his dad wants him to go to college so he doesn't follow him into crime. But AJ tells his dad at one point he wants to becomr a helicopter pilot. And fly for people like Trump.

He was always lurking in the background. Like a celebrity for morons.

Oh classic.

A security breach? This time of year? Localized entirely on my cell phone? SKINNNNER

Maybe Mexico should have invaded Texas after George Floyd.

Its shocking how so much Russia defending sounds just like the Bush excuses for Iraq. "Well we didn't find weapons of mass destruction, but the leader was just really awful so we had to, right?"

 

Jude Law is a good actor. The nostalgia and wonder is infinite. That's all.

Show kind of got off to a slow start with some odd choices.

But I am loving where it's going.

Great to see Yoda and a lightsaber whip, Mae (or was it Osha?) picking up a lightsaber.

Interested to see who Darth Helmet ends up being. But also imagine there is still yet a master to be unleashed (much like in the prequels it took three movies for the jedi to understand)
