That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Personally, I don't want the job listing website and the website that exposes the realities of working at that job to be owned by the same company. That sure seems like a situation that would incentivize companies to both lie more and punish employees who would otherwise be transparent.

I have a few thoughts about the actual movie, but for now, if you're in Chicago, do not go to the AMC 70 mm for The Odyssey. The masking blocked about 20% of the top of the screen, and they said they could not do anything to fix it.

Well, it’s invoicing day, and since they’re really apparently not going to pay me for something I wrote for them two months ago, I guess today is the day to post about how @vulture.com fucks over its film freelancers. Long (sorry) thread, with receipts:

Oh wow, that's a clean, crisp restoration. Especially for a 1985 animation! Every fingerprint on the clay, visible!

The Adventures of Mark Twain is one of the strangest blank check movies in animation history. After making it big with the California Raisons, Will Vinton would use the profits to create this epic claymation film. If you want to watch the strangest scene in this children’s … youtu.be/HKU5cxq7xUs?...

I know it’s become an ongoing joke about Nolan movies, but I genuinely liked all three of my Nolan rewatches in the last two weeks (The Prestige, Memento, and Inception) less than I remembered specifically because of the thinness of the women characters.
