How Offshore Oddsmakers Made a Killing off Gullible Trump Supporters.
Oh my fucking god I fucking love it. I wish I had thought of something like this. I should’ve been spinning up websites left and right to take money from these doofuses.
Huge missed opportunity.
Trump is an “incompetent dictator” — but a “shrewder” plot might have worked.
Agreed. We were walking on the precipice there for a bit, but disphit mooks believe because nothing happened, there was no reason to prepare or even react. But that’s not the way the world works or will ever work.
my dream is to be the guy people see on the street with gf and say "did you see that guy? she could do so much better"

Haha, that’s my life, baby! And it’s been a great one.
BTW, as the article also mentions, Sierra McCormick is just excellent in The Vast of Night.
As they walk to their jobs one night (a fabulous tracking shot), the loquacious Faye recounts popular magazine articles about radio-controlled cars, vacuum tube transportation, and cell phones in an effort to “razz Everett’s berries.” Her enthusiasm is infectious. This leads into her key scene, a 10-minutes switchboard sequence where she speaks far less.
Sierra, as the best actors do, becomes Faye. The character she brings to life is chirpy but also curious and passionate, sweet yet not naïve, funny and sincere in a tenacious very self-controlled but yet somehow still delicate way. I liked her immensely and wished we as viewers got to spend more time with her. I was actually very angry with the movie at the end because of what happens to Faye.
That switchboard bit the article mentions isn’t one of the flashy show-off setpieces but in its own way is just as impressive because you watch a single person operate a telephone switchboard for 10 minutes. And that’s it. And it’s engrossing and fascinating because Sierra is so damn good and believable and just present as Faye. So many perfect scenes in that film that just would not work without god-class acting.
I would totally watch a movie called Hangin’ With Faye that was just, you know, hangin’ with Faye.

Jesus Christ what the fuck. Put the Twinkie down. No, no, just put it down. I know it’s not that simple but fucking hell, that’s just embarrassing as a nation. We have failed in so many ways.

Good for him. That’s great. Sometimes, being a huge jerk is justified. If only we had a president that could show any such leadership.
BTW, Tom Cruise and the director, Christoher McQuarrie, personally paid for a private island so the movie could be finished (saving 500+ jobs).

Yo dawg, trust me, I do not miss anything with Carrie Coon in it.
And just like that, millions of people slide into long-term unemployment. All the research tells us this is when the scars become bone deep and you never recover. Our society has rendered millions into undesired surplus, and is ready to let them rot. pic.twitter.com/PJKEEzwToP

Capitalism! Anyone who thinks we can’t do better than this, that anything else is “impossible,” is smoking a crack rock the size of fucking Jupiter.
