So when Biden’s expansive loan forgiveness doesn’t go according to plan it’s the fault of Republicans and we should work to elect Dems because there’s no way Biden could have predicted a challenge from the right. But when the SC gets a two seat majority majority it’s definitely RBG’s fault for...

I find them very wearable. They don’t jump out, but are subtly luxe. I also like the insole a lot. But I never really liked the 1 before, so I’m probably a bad judge.

AF1 and 3’s still the best, so I mostly agree, but I couldn’t imagine the 1 in anything other than its current form.

750 doesn’t seem that absurd: Wiki says they made $417mm in revenue from the bridge in 2017. But I agree transparency would likely help their cause. And I think the fact that so many participants are flying in to race actually supports both my contentions that the participants are reasonably...

Late to reply, but in general you need to be somewhat affluent to have the free time just to train for a marathon (even more so for Iron Man). I’m sure there’s regular people running it, but so you have an idea, the entry fee is $315, so I doubt there’s too many “paycheck to paycheck” folks.

It wouldn’t even be hard to do. They kind of go out of their way to start in States Island (or shimmy into the Bronx) https://prodsitecore.blob.core.windows.net/nyrrsitecoreblob/nyrr/pdf/race-course-maps/tcsnycm23_map_course_082223_rd6.pdf But their schtick is that it goes through all 5...

0 This sentence was... surprising. New York Road Runners — which reported a total income of $100.2 million last fiscal year — hasn’t yet caved to the MTA’s demands and, instead, is asking Gov. Kathy Hochul to step in. Generally I'm all for using the commons in whatever way best benefits the...

Well, burgundy is more suited to my adult wardrobe than fire red. And as a Rockets fan, those colors just meant you were repping a different team. I guess it did mean more. But I do get your point. With the 1’s, 2’s, and 11’s, I, too, have enough burgundy shoes from AMM (not to mention PSJ)...

Not that my mom would even think about buying me Jordan’s.

That’s pretty funny, because that’s the way I felt about the whole OG Jordan line. Like, do I need another red, white, and black shoe? I get the Bulls thing, but I’m not from Chicago. It’s why I always appreciated the blue 3’s and 4’s and purple 5’s back in the day.

I just spent another 20 minutes with the 8k which contains, as appendices, audited statements for both the SPAC and the target for 2023 (and 2022) The $2mm cash position is for the target. The $300mm was held by the SPAC in a trust account as of 12/31/23. My understanding is that SPACs must...

Was that in anything official? I almost want to buy a share just to dial into their earnings call. The idea of Nunes going to club Fed for securities fraud is too exciting.

Was obviously unaware of @WASHED KING crusade against wall grass or that it was seemingly born in the DMV when I posted this. Now I feel like I’ve gotta read the NBA thread to keep up here. Y’all worse than the MCU. But I am with him in eating in the DMV. It’s like they thought that NY...

I’d gladly go back to NYC brunch prices if I could find a spot in the DMV that knew what they were doing and had parking. Brunch cocktails are the least expensive therapists I’m aware of.

As of their 3Q23 10Q, they still had $300mm in cash from the IPO. I can’t read SPAC, but from the best I can tell from the 8k, only a few thousand shares redeemed at the ~$10 buy in (why would they with markets at over $30?). Even with $57mm in annual losses, they should have enough cash to ride...

After Romney, I thought for sure this would be the direction the GOP moved to: the voice of an increasingly multi-ethnic upper middle and Mass affluent class. In my own experience, I’ve found highly educated black and brown people in prestige jobs find they have more in common with each other...

Biden should invite him to the White House and feed him McDonalds…

To be clear, I think the systematic and constant erasure of the significant contribution of Black people on America - and even global - culture is terrible for a number of reasons. Ask an average Eastern European who made the first “Techno” songs… My only point is that it’s senseless to get up...

I understood his point, I just pointed out that it illustrated a different point as well. When people talk about knowing the history of the culture, are we going back to Jack Purcell wanting a quality badminton shoe? Or does the history just start when people first got into it?

The only kids I knew with Jordan’s in the 80’s has parents that drove German cars. They were sold as a premium “performance” sneaker. Hood sneakers came from Payless. No one reasonable can deny that hip hop culture has helped shape the way the world consumes sneakers. But unless there was hip...
