I like to refer to what Toobin was doing as “working from home.”

Hate watching?
sounds like you can project some chris hayes over his tv.
I walk The Stand very frequently at night with my dog and see their TVs pretty often. Huge houses most of them have mostly windows facing the ocean. Lotta hate watching I guess. I’ve seen MSNBC too. Maybe that’s hate watching as well.
I was joking

I wasn’t exactly all srsbsnss mode either.
But if you can’t boast about it on Twitter or IG who’s to say you were really there?

The parsnip-shaped shoes, known as poulaines, became widespread in Britain in the 14th century, and ended up reaching absurd lengths. According to the Museum of London, in 1394 a monk of Evesham noted that some people wore shoes with pointed toes “half a yard in length, thus it was necessary for them to be tied to the shin with chains of silver before they could walk with them”.
But the fashion became contentious. In 1463 Edward IV restricted the length of the points for anyone below the rank of a lord to less than two inches within London “on pain of forfeiting 40d to your highness for every offence”.
ETA I mean the topic, not the footwear (tho who knows?)

Waterspout
Alas - yes it’s fake:
But here are some real waterspouts:
There are similar weather events that start at the cloud level and move downward, but they aren’t that visible / concentrated (and they move outward after making contact with the ground; that one appears to continue to pound the ocean)
Then there’s the timing. Hertz filed for bankruptcy protection in May 2020, one of the largest companies to do so during the pandemic.
The company’s stock surged last month after Hertz announced a multibillion-dollar deal with several investment firms to restore the company’s finances. A year ago, Hertz warned investors its stock could end up being worthless.
I’m not saying Hertz is imposing bogus fees on customers to improve the company’s balance sheet as it prepares to emerge from bankruptcy by the end of the month. Hertz says Dungan’s fee was “assessed appropriately.”
But you still have to wonder.
Christopher Elliott, who runs a consumer protection website called Elliott Advocacy, included Dungan’s situation in a recent article on rental car smoking fees.
“We’ve gotten a lot of smoking-fee complaints, almost all from Hertz customers,” he told me. “We saw a spike in cases after the bankruptcy filing.”
Rental car companies “turn to these types of fees to generate extra revenue,” Elliott said. “If you smoke in a rental car, you should pay a cleaning fee. But all of our cases involve customers who say they don’t smoke.”
This shit makes my blood boil every time.

enterprise does this shit all the time, I returned a car in Raleigh, NC and the guy was like “what’s this” and pointed at some microscopic hairline scratch and I said “idk whatever,” 3 months later I got a bill from them in the mail for $450, I called my company’s travel office and they were like “meh they do this shit all the time, we’ll take care of it.” six months later I got another letter from them with more threatening verbage. 2nd time the company took care of it for good. I had several other more minor incidents with them as well.
keep in mind I rented this through my corporate account with enterprise but they sent the bogus bill to me directly.
