::reporter runs up to known liar::
REPORTER: "Mr. Liar, do you have any lies to share?"
LIAR: "Sally, that's a good question. Everything is fine. I am doubted by everyone in New York, but the haters don't live rent free in my head. In fact I raised their rent 5% in June" I mean... you know where I'm going with this...

This is my 2nd time hearing this in the last week. Not from anyone I know close/personally, but on my timeline (which is a fair number of people but I'm not connected to a big percentage of the city here)

I keep thinking, why didn't this happen so much in 2018? Why now? Something changed and I bet it wasn't "humans got crazier because we defunded the police". I'd gather the explanation is far more mundane, yet tragic and morally wrong.

Aside from anything in this article that I feel is mischaracterized or overblown, this is a deranged lede image nytimes.com/2022/09/19/nyrā€¦ I feel like, there is a real story here about how the city needs to balance its budget post-COVID (and one-year patches aren't going to carry us through)... and then there's this image, a totally disposable discount store full of cheap shit with a bizarre window display

Sometimes I get really stressed out seeing these utterly duplicitous articles, but I also remember that it's good to be here to witness it - that the articles focus on "what if this were an inefficient subsidy?" rather than "how do we protect students?" nytimes.com/2022/09/18/busā€¦ A good way to protect students would be for the nation to pay for college educations & educate the whole country that there is no need for students to pay schools any more beyond a fair subsidy given to schools for their enrollment - and to tightly regulate failing schools

Before I go for this, I have to say this is not easy to do accidentally. Five times is easy, ten requires some real intentional watching. Normally if youā€™ve seen a likable movie a bunch of times youā€™d still bounce around the dial for something new. Anyway:
Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of The Jedi

Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom, Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (I havenā€™t seen the first one a lot)

Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Goonies
