Hair today, goon tomorrow.

He suggested that a stock trading ban could discourage people from running for office.

That’s exactly the fucking point. We don’t want stock trading people running for office.

The prevailing theory is that McDonald’s brings the McRib back whenever pork futures are down, because it maximizes profit. That is usually seasonal- in the early autumn, when grilling season is over.

I read a tweet once that said that Burger King’s chicken nuggets tasted like “deer ankles.”
Another apt comparison.

If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing naked.

I have a friend who swears by them. Buys one after another of those heaps of junk. I always ask her “how’s your Heep?”

I was discussing the “immigration crisis” with some conservative friends and when I said “if you want to stop illegal migration, then we need to make legal immigration faster, cheaper, and easier.”
That simple suggestion infuriated them. It’s not about legality, it’s about xenophobia / racism.

“If you’re a legal immigrant you’re safe.”

• does everything they can to make becoming legal or staying legal impossible.

I used to be a retail PC service tech back when these things were new. I remember scoffing at the “never obsolete” tag. They were obsolete while still new in the box.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s “talent handler” (she wrangled the pedophiles’ victims). She’s a good friend of trump and he’s been toying with the idea of pardoning her.

• Haircut Dude is a hit man. He’s a remorseless psychopath. He’s hunting dude 2.
• Dude 2 stumbled across a bunch of money from a drug-deal-gone-wrong. He’s trying to hide from everyone who wants it back, including Haircut Dude.
• Dude 3 is a sheriff. He’s also looking for Dude 2, as part of his investigation into the drug-deal-gone-wrong. He realizes pretty quick that he’s in over his head and probably gonna die.
• Dude 4 is a bounty hunter. He finds Dude 2 and offers to protect him, in exchange for the money.
• Haircut Dude kills Dude 2 & 4 & the drug dealers & several others, but he also randomly spares some people, including Dude 2.

I disagree with the other fella who said there’s no moral or theme. This story is all about destiny, fate and the ever-persistent approach of our own deaths, and also we’re all responsible for our own actions but maybe not our own fates. The story is dripping with metaphor.

I was thinking a Monte Cristo, because the hot oil would be satisfying. But I guess they’re essentially the same thing.
