I did not realize that the step up basis for capital gains on death included stocks. I assumed it was only for real estate and the like.
For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

Thatβs also why Vivek isnβt exactly lying when he says he didnβt mean to say Acton lied about being raped as a child. He doesnβt think she lied; he thinks that being raped disqualifies her from office, because she belongs to the class of people power is wielded against, not the class that wields it.

Its a classic kids.
I am not a huge found footage person and this does suffer some of the issues with that format, but it absolutely nails the ads and local news for the early 90s. If your not going to appreciate that nostalgia factor this is probably a terrible watch, but for me it works. 1/5 or 4/5 depending...

Its probably not healthy but the other option is closing your eyes and ignoring a world wide right wing movement to pretend nothing is happening. That is some insane level of privilege to be able to stick you fingers in your ears and tune all of this out.
Yes well it does require things like βempathyβ and possessing a basic understanding that all of our lives are interconnected
This feels inevitable for all major sports. Leagues are going to want some say over what gets bet on and the sports book would want access to splat names and pictures eveywhere.
The NBA has reached deals with Kalshi and Polymarket to make them the league's preferred prediction markets partners. The companies can now use NBA IP on their platforms, while the NBA gets right of approval on markets that they offer. That and more: www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...
A real question is how much moat do they have vs open source models... but anyone who thought they were not going to have crazy revenue for at least a few quarters is clearly not capable of understanding AI properly.
The unit economics here are frankly shocking they're so good. This is wildly stronger than I expected tbh.

This thread comes to a close... ... as we now have a final result. Let the records show that, with 92% of the vote countywide, Lula is up 3.3%. (Can he end up doubling his 2022 margin?)
Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off FlΓ‘vio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.
We demand low taxes, especially property and land, because are entitled little shits. But when the same money shows up in check form we are offended at the bribe.
Ethics aside, this take could use some contact with reality. Biden's expanded CTC didn't motivate recipients to vote to maintain it. Trump offered $5000 checks and it hurt him in the polls. The empirical claim that welfare creates single issue voters just doesn't hold up.

@druu.bsky.social and I literally-just wrapped up a rewatch of Tales from the Crypt within the last hour, this is some delightful continuity! #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam #BodyBags

Pretty good. It was one of Jean Rollin's vampire series... it wasn't the best but it was still suitably horny and French.
Bad in the less fun ways. The kills are decent though far between; they are filmed like a proper horror movie scenes but nothing else is. The long segments of people doing circus acts really drains the mood and pacing. Also Joan Crawford is pretty late in her career but still does a great job.
By the end of this the dementia is going to eat away any filter and he will say some wild abuser shit about putting women in their place.
π³ WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

It has moments that are charming and fires off lots of jokes but most miss... so does the action / horror ... 2/5
