@filosophymajor @brad_polumbo Scholastic published Harry Potter. Are you just dumb?

@brad_polumbo Lordy, try thinking for yourself. She profited from a monopoly…Amazon has had a monopoly on book distribution her entire Harry Potter series.

Which one of these did JK Rowling do?

@kripchakmentum The state of California does not refine any gas. The legislature has passed laws requiring a special blend to sell gas in the state. This accounts for around 50 cents of the higher gas price. Most of the hirer prices are due the the jones act and taxes on gas.

learning that california gas is so expensive because they started refining it themselves to clear out the smog that choked LA in the 60s and 70s really was an eye opener

@MissionVlyMafia Jake peavy hit me with his bat at this game. Best Rockies game ever.

I was at this game. I have a real problem when new fans talk to me about pain. Imagine losing to the Rockies in a 1 game playoff that only happened because Tony Gwynn Jr got to Trevor Hoffman two days before

@BauerOutage Well the mlbpa would have a problem with this lol.

Hypothetical: You’re the owner of an MLB team. I offer to take $0 salary and sign a minor league contract and go to Low A. If the “he sucks now” crowd is right and I get lit up, you cut me, lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club. If the “clubhouse cancer” crowd is right, you see it immediately at Low A and cut me. You lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club. If there’s massive negative PR, which we already know there won’t be, you just cut me and move on. The story is dead in a couple days, you lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club. But, assuming none of those things happen, which they obviously wouldn’t, if you like what you see, you can promote me to AA and re evaluate me there. Then AAA. Then the big leagues. If I earn it, which you’d be 100% in control of deciding. If you don’t think I’m good enough, you lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club. You could take away my “antics”. You could take away my social media. You could ask anything of me. If I don’t comply, you cut me, lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club. What logical reason is there to not do this? At worst, you cut me and there’s no risk to the big league club. At best, you get a Cy Young winner for $0 who you know can still pitch and could help the big league team if and when you see fit.

@lakelikeglass19 @KellywoodCircus @Keernin @AdaptSkill His arm strength was literally the biggest knock on him coming out of college.

@KellywoodCircus @Keernin @AdaptSkill Like he just was but ok

this is the popular take but between him and Brady, the 2 best ever, I actually think Brady is the more "cerebral" Peyton was a freak athlete, with a cannon, and simplified the game with symmetry (2x2 sets). Brady loved the complexity: condensed sets, bunches, etc he invited it

@ShawnNOrlando If they don’t go to the casino planet does anything in the movie change?

Anyone who says "the casino scene was a waste of time", I assume they drink battery fluid. The point of the casino scene is to illustrate the 1% rich elites that profit and benefit from the war with no stakes in who is involved. Finn realizes that all of it is useless

@SpartyOn21 @oyezcaps @propublica Yes stocks and predatory lending is the same thing.🙄

@oyezcaps @propublica Do you own equities, stock or other investments? Then you’re exploiting those same people through their reckless spending.

The Flex Loan, a new type of payday loan pioneered by Advance Financial in Tennessee, allows residents to borrow up to $4,000 at a 279.5% interest rate. It has burdened low-income borrowers while generating huge profits for lenders. propublica.org/article/flex-l…

@drubov It’s not even about the weight loss he’s upset that she’s happy about amusement park rides…

Actually yes, it is. Living in Orlando when you're on a weight loss journey and you're not able to ride attractions.. having the test seats is a true barometer of your progress. Only on the internet can someone shit on another person for losing 30 pounds. lol

@ogplatynumx @ManaByte This is just not correct. If you buy a movie you can see it in your home and if you take a picture of the movie it’s still copyright infringement. Is the toy in this case an issue? It’s probably not but it’s not extremely black and white.

@ManaByte Reading a lot of the replies. People should brush up on photography/copyright laws. No one is claiming the Star wars ip. They're claiming the photo. If you can see it and photograph it ,the copyright for the photo belongs to you, regardless of what's in the photo.

@ManaByte No, if you take a picture using your camera it does not mean you own the copyright of everything in the photo.

@st_louis_stan The issue with TLJ is it has interesting ideas but decides to spend half the movie on a casino planet. With a contrived conflict that would be solved in 15 seconds if holdo had a conversation with Poe.

Liking The Last Jedi might be the best litmus test we have for determining whether or not someone has good taste, and understands how movies and stories work (it's a bad movie)

@even_steven8tht They faked him being alive to delay paying this.

Words you would never here from a an American billionaire

@NotTheDrShabazz @PittsburghSport @Hawk This is just not true. The average cfl contract in 1985 was $50,000 and the nfl that year was $190,000.

@PittsburghSport @Hawk Back even into the 80's the CFL paid more than the NFL so some US talent went there instead of USFL/NFL

The fact you think you had what it takes to play in the CFL, shows how much you don’t know smh… Maybe you should google how those rules have been in place long before American football was even a thing. Come on up .. so we can teach you a thing a two

@DanielR00191707 @EsotericCD He claimed she threatened to change his bonus. Something she never had control over.

@MacMcclintock6 @EsotericCD I don’t think he ever stated she was his manager, it was something that the NY Post assumed and then disproved

So the guy has mental problems, right?

@DanielR00191707 @EsotericCD And their employer and the fact that there are factual issues with his story.

@EsotericCD It sounds fake But technically there’s no proof that it’s fabricated. The NY Post talked to the woman’s friend, who said it was fabricated, and has been sticking ‘fabricated’ into every title since then

@investor_chef @SkenesNat Babe Ruth was one of the first athletes to have a personal fitness trainer, but yes never worked out.

@SkenesNat Yes. But could Skenes eat 14 hots dogs and drink a 1/2 bottle of whiskey and then pitch against Ruth without throwing up , like the Babe did. Never worked out or ate a vegetable. Different times = different level of skills

Live look at Paul vs Babe:

@wimmer30 @DNVRSaez @DNVR_Rockies Was going to say exact same thing. Shocking it took so long to figure out.

@DNVRSaez @DNVR_Rockies God is it refreshing to hear someone in the organization speak like they had a plan and there is a plan.

#Rockies President of Baseball Ops Paul DePodesta addresses the bullpen and how it’s been one of his biggest takeaways from his first season working at elevation

@noisyb0y1 He is not making 187k a month. His revenue is only 197k and he has a lot of expenses.

22-year-old makes $187,000 a month on Airbnb without owning a single property. He rents apartments from landlords at standard long-term rates, furnishes them and lists them on Airbnb at short-term prices that are significantly higher. The difference between what he pays the landlord and what guests pay - that's his profit from each apartment every month. He now has 30+ properties and his revenue almost doubled last month - closing in on $200,000. No bank loan to buy real estate, no personal capital - just signed rental agreements and the right listing on the platform.

@Mace____ @LFGPads19 This shoulder surgery is incredibly difficult to come back from. Happened to Matt kemp right after stellar season and took awhile for him to be above average again.

@LFGPads19 What’s the problem? It’s taking a minute for him to get going but he’s smashing the ball still. He’s obviously still figuring it out but it’s not that ridiculous considering he had shoulder surgery. Just because he isn’t hitting homers doesn’t mean he won’t get there

I mean this is getting ridiculous with Fernando Tatis Jr. 111.8 mph, -4 launch angle single

@TheChrisLambert @RonnyWW He isn’t sure it’ll work. He won’t experience “being a legend”. All he knows is he’s going to die in space.

@RonnyWW Or signing up to save humanity and be an absolute legend

Dude has no significant other, no kids, no family, and settled for a secondary career after receiving some pushback. He’s been living on an aircraft carrier for years. The human race is at stake and he’s just like “Nope, won’t do it.” By the time this scene happens, we also already know everything worked out for the best
