I hit rock bottom earlier this year. I was sad, sick, alone, and seemingly out of options. But I’m happy to say that I’ve got a new lease on life. I’m happier, healthier, and more social for only $8,000 a month, with 6.4% APR financing.
Before, I would spend every night alone in my room. Now, I see my friends multiple times a week for only $89 down, with no additional cost due at signing, except tip.
In basic conversations, I used to have nothing to say. Now, catch me contributing movie opinions, show predictions, and $224 yearly MSRP to the manufacturers of the latest Woody Harrelson vehicle.
I’m just so grateful to be a qualified lessee. I can live my life on my terms and the terms of its indemnity clause. Each day almost feels like a gift.
I finally mustered the motivation for the gym and the capitalization for its monthly payment. Today, I’ve got abs and a loan that spans the entirety of my newly extended life.

Tribune’s excellent article on Labour’s New Deal for Working People, Labour Turns Its Back on Workers’ Rights, highlighted the attempt by factions in the Labour Party to undermine this transformative policy document and, in particular, its commitment to a single status for workers. Since then, Labour’s Deputy Leader, Angela Rayner, has denied any watering down […]
His private jet “crashed.” I must say it’s a nice change from falling out of a window, though still a standard (people who have reason to believe powerful people want them dead should not fly in private planes.)
There were other people in the plane and they may not have “had it coming” (I don’t know) but Prigozhin was a piece of human garbage whose prison sentence was, for among things, choking awoman so he could rob her.
I won a bet with a friend on this, who thought that Prigozhin couldn’t be taken out without causing a clash with his troops.
This is classic: what Putin did was separate Prigozhin from his loyal troops so he wouldn’t have to fight them all, then take him out. The delay was to let those Wagner members who were still loyal to Prigozhin realize the loss. (The remains of Wagner will now mostly be integrated into the military.)
The reported death of 'Putin's chef' following his attempted mutiny against the Kremlin shows how fragile the Russian President's grip on power now is
Yesterday, the – Flash Germany PMI – was released, which shows that “German business activity” has fallen “at fastest rate since May 2020”. Also released was the – Flash Eurozone PMI – which revealed that “Eurozone business activity contracted at an accelerating pace in August as the region’s downturn spread further from manufacturing to services”,…
The claim that the PM's failure to declare his wife’s investment in a childcare company subsidised by his Government was ‘inadvertent’ is open to question

This new talking point is just plain weird. It’s all over Fox News that Biden doesn’t care about the Maui fire victims: Okaaaay: For some weird reason, the fact that Biden stopped to talk to a dog handler and pat the dog is being portrayed as more evidence of his cold indifference to suffering. Whatever. This is clearly an official talking point that’s coming out of Republican circles following the old Karl Rove strategy of “attack your enemy’s strength” as they did with John Kerry. But that was attacking him for something he’d done long in the past that couldn’t be verified. This is something that’s happening in real time. Not that it will stop them. They have realized that they can say anything — up is down and black is white — and their audience will believe them because they see nothing else. And if they do happen to see something that refutes the MAGA media, they just think it’s fake news. And honestly, the right is so performative now that it’s really all just a big game show to them. It doesn’t matter if it’s true. All that matters is if it owns the libs.
