I can't read the article, what fuckery is Harvard up to with California Water?
Harvard has a $39 billion dollar endowment, that they invest. California has complicated laws and regulations regarding water rights, due to having multiple massively water-intensive agricultural industries, as well as huge populations. Harvard is buying up California vineyards and their related water rights, which is likely to become more important in the future.

This reads like is a conversation with an Alzheimer’s-riddled grandpa.
We're witnessing the confluence of the Trump's ever-worsening legal woes, the incredible stress of the presidency, an empowered opposition, and his final pathetic slide into total dementia. He's only going to get worse and they're only going to hammer it harder. This witless gently caress has never been challenged on anything in his life and now getting dunked on by Chuck loving Schumer, his brain is liquid.

University endowments are loving weird pseudo hedge funds that horde money like dragons horde gold. Harvard will continue to grow its endowment and spend it on gently caress all until it's bigger than Japan's pension fund and claim that it's some sort of financial necessity. Meanwhile there's tons of important poo poo they could be funding and generating social returns on. And they could spend it all and probably re-raise every dime they spent since raising money seems to be all they're good at.

If a generic Republican got that post coal would be mandatory, also you would be allowed to run your furnace on LGBT people.

Generic Republican wouldn't be committee chair in a Dem majority senate, Joe Manchin is actually worse than a Republican because Republicans can only unilaterally kill climate change policy when they hold the senate.

My take away from the Manchin thing is that we need the take the senate in two years and hope the democrats in office have read the writing on the walls with regards to climate and energy policy (lol) and tell Manchin to gently caress off. Of course that needed to be understood ten years ago so maybe I do agree that we're all hosed after all, but it probably doesn't have a lot to do with Manchin*.

Dems need to get at least 51 senate seats if they win the presidency because I have a feeling that if you tell Manchin off regarding the Energy Chair position he will suddenly have a yearning desire to Make America Great Again

One of the interesting things about climate change though is that it is an issue that encompasses so many legislative committee domains that Manchin can be circumvented if needed.

To add to this, a great-grandparent also works, but they must have registered in the Foreign Births Register between the years 1956 and 1986, or if you were born after 1986 they registered before you were born.

What is they died before 1956? (I have a great-grandparent that was born in 1846 or so and died in 1945. We got some long-lived Irish in my family tree).

The Donald having dementia is one thing but honestly the amount of stories actors have about every day people thinking they are their characters is depressing.

Like ok if you think reality TV is real I'll forgive you because at least it's presented that way but scripted TV and movies???? I can't.

Lots of people would see the guy who played Joffrey in game of thrones on the street and legit start getting mad at him. I wouldn't be surprised that it was one of the reasons to make him quit acting.

The sheer amount of people with pudding instead of brains continues to astound me when it really shouldn't.

The guy that played the (completely right) EPA agent in Ghostbusters ended up furious that the movie did so well, because he would get constantly hassled in public as a result:

quote:

Ivan Reitman, mentioned on the DVD commentary that he ran into Atherton sometime after the film's release, and instead of greeting him as one might normally greet the man who made you internationally famous, Atherton was completely pissed off. Not only were people trying to fight him, but he also had random assholes shouting at him in public. In one incident that was absolutely horrible and totally not the greatest thing we've ever heard, a bus full of kids spotted him on the street and yelled "DICKLESS!" at him from the windows.

It's a weird sort of success where if you are a good enough actor to really pull off a complete shithead role, people forget that you're acting, I guess?
