I'm surprised nobody has posted a link to this video about cats on the internet yet https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Perhaps nobody posted that link because it's not funny. Oh it wants to be funny, and it tries to be funny - but it fails to be even mildly humorous for three long, boring minutes.
You're welcome
MBAs are sheep. Blindly following the flock is what MBA schools teach them to do - and questioning conventional wisdom is strictly verboten.
Why else would they worship at the altar of stockholder supremacy, when transferring all their company's liquid assets to high-volume stock trading algorithms forces them to borrow money at commercial interest rates to fund their "investment" in AI, instead of using cash on hand for the purpose, and saving the interest payments for other investment purposes
... that registrars outside India's borders told those overreaching Indian courts that their power to order registrars based in other countries to do their bidding ends at India's borders - and sent Italy's courts a cc

You might enjoy The Clone Wars
Here's the thing that absolutely ruins Clone Wars - and every Star Wars production that includes military conflict, for that matter - for me:
It's blindingly obvious that neither George Lucas nor any of the other scriptwriters who have penned stories for one or another of the franchise's productions has any meaningful experience with or knowledge of actual military science. Every freaking battle scene is straight out of the Homeric Age. Significantly-sized forces simply advance straight toward one another, and all combat is basically hand-to-hand. Other than the Jedi, the combatants pretty much all have ranged weapons, but they don't even take advantage of cover as they advance. It's essentially all human wave (okay, droid wave) assaults, culminating in single combats at close quarters, over and over again.
That pitches me out of my willing suspension of disbelief, every time. It's obliviously stupid, and wrong, wrong, WRONG, and it just poisons the entire franchise for me.
Having said that, Andor was pretty damned good, as was Rogue One

That quote is from the notoriosly-corrupt 18th-century American politician Simon Cameron. And you misspelled the word "politician," btw
There has been a bill proposed to have Trump derangement syndrome classified as a mental illness.
Sponsored by 4 first-term MAGA senators (a fifth had himself removed from the bill's list of sponsors after it was referred to committee). Speaking of which, the bill was referred to the Senate Health and Human Resources Committee on March 17th of last year, without thus far even having been given a pro forma hearing by the committee

I don't think it counts as a dupe unless the original is still on the first couple of pages.

Major peeve of mine... Ohio University is a very different (and much better) place than that buckeye college... Headline should read "AN Ohio University..."
