Monthly PSA: ADP is bullshit. Challenger is bullshit. As you were.

GOLDMAN: ".. We do not place much weight on the ADP miss because of ADP’s limited real-time correlation with BLS private payrolls over the last few years. We left our forecast for July nonfarm payroll growth unchanged at +75k (vs. +80k consensus) ahead of Friday’s release."

Babe what are you looking at? Nothing. Can I see your phone? Why? ARE YOU WATCHING PORN?? I mean, kinda.

Whatever you think of the man’s writing, he also has zero screen presence, so another great hire by someone who should definitely be running a giant news division.

What's the worst movie you've ever seen in a theater?

In 1994, Pasadena still had a lot of smog in the summer, and some of the games at the Rose Bowl were hot, smoggy and brutal.

Clear skies are expected across northern New Jersey as the World Cup final between Argentina and Spain is set to get underway at MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Looked it up and my fears were well founded. Michigan football is indeed responsible for the plague of Mr. Brightside at sporting events and I’m sorry.
