I just walked by RFK Jr. (like within two feet). Apparently he’s doing a fundraiser at the hotel where I’m staying

Please tell me you’re staying at a fleabag motel.

Lol. It’s a nice place but not super high end. On Music Row in Nashville

Sports headlines were insane at the turn of the century.

Alright, so Scorigami is a thing and seeing some interest from folks. What about the same thing but for beards? People can submit facial hair styles to determine if they’ve created something unique. Beardigami?

Maybe it’s because there are a ridiculous number of hot babes in Sudbury?

Before I knew who that was, if someone asked me “How racist do you think that guy is on a scale of one to ten?”, I would have guessed something between 20 and 25.

That guy has either lived a clean and healthy 62 or a rough 38.

I always forget if John Brown was a good guy or a bad guy.

This proceeded the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Prefer this version to Seeger’s.

Easy to remember: his last name is Brown and he supported brown people.

He’s my avatar. Let that guide you.

The case is epic not only in dollars but in scope. As ProPublica reported in an in-depth narrative in 2020, the IRS saw the case as a chance to prove the agency’s effectiveness. Often cowed by the prospect of facing off against corporations with endless resources, the IRS set out to be bolder and more aggressive. It took the unusual step of hiring a corporate law firm to represent the agency, a step that incensed Microsoft. The company, along with others in its industry, responded by rallying allies in Congress to rein in the IRS.

The audit is already well over a decade old and figures to grow older, since Microsoft is allowed to appeal the IRS’ conclusions and says it plans to. The audit focused on a deal the agency would later describe as “illusory in nature, serving no material economic purpose except to shift income.” In 2005, ProPublica wrote, Microsoft “sold its most valuable possession — its intellectual property — to an 85-person factory it owned in a small Puerto Rican city.” Having struck a favorable tax deal with Puerto Rico, Microsoft then channeled its profits to the facility, which burned Windows and Office software onto CDs.
