Our registers at work got buttons for donations to a soup kitchen, but they were just labeled ‘PUNCH SOUP’ (as in, punch in on the touch screen).

My favorite behind-the-scenes tidbit about Trading Places (1983) remains (per J. Landis' claims) Don Ameche explaining that he just doesn't think he can do that—say the f-word—to which Landis says, No, it is vital that your character says the f-word, it's the character, not you, and if you don't say it I shan't hire you—

(Okay, okay, says Ameche, and then, months later)

—Ameche announces (again, per Landis' recounting), "I have to say a profanity, and I would like everyone's cooperation, so I only have to do this once."

Dylan let it slip today that when he lived in San Francisco, he’d go days and days without hearing anybody’s voice except mine because I’d call him every day from DC and would talk at him about the most mundane things I can’t even remember anymore, because I loved him, and he didn’t believe me for a long time, until it was almost too late, but he screwed his head on straight and now we share a cat child named Esther.

Red Bull to launch RB19 in New York on February 3rd | 2023 F1 season

Red Bull have announced their car for the 2023 Formula 1 season, the RB19, will be unveiled to the world in New York on February 3rd. Red Bull will be the first of the energy drink’s two teams to launch in the American city, with junior team AlphaTauri also launching in New York on February 11th. The team announced it will be unveiling a “new car” on the date, as opposed to last year when the team originally revealed its 2022 livery on a showcar before the actual RB18 was first seen publicly during a filming run. The successor to the double title-winning RB18 car from 2022 will be Red Bull’s 19th chassis since joining F1 in 2005 and will make its race debut in the Bahrain Grand Prix on 5th March. The RB19 will be powered by a ‘Honda RBPT’ engine, with the branding reflecting former engine supplier Honda’s continued support of Red Bull’s new in-house powertrain division. It will be the second season of such an arrangement, with last year’s car using a Red Bull RBPTH001 power unit but with Honda’s logos still present on the car throughout the season. The 2023 season is also the second year of F1’s current cycle of technical regulations. Driving the RB19 will be reigning world champion Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, entering their third year as Red Bull team mates, and reserve driver duties will be shared between Daniel Ricciardo, who has joined from McLaren, Super Formula-bound Red Bull junior Liam Lawson and Formula 2 racer Zane Maloney. Red Bull’s chief technical officer Adrian Newey has led the design of the new car, and it supported by a team of people including chief designer Craig Skinner and technical director Pierre Wache. With a record-length 23-event season facing teams this year, Perez and Verstappen have the opportunity with the RB19 to surpass the record-breaking statistics achieved with its predecessor. Red Bull won 17 grands prix in 2022, with the record for wins in a season held by Mercedes with 19, and went on a winning spree of nine races in a row (with McLaren’s long-standing record being 11 consecutive wins). By making the podium in the first 19 grands prix of 2023, Red Bull would surpass their personal best podium run, and 28 podium trophies in a year is another 2022 benchmark they will be aiming to beat.

Things the Biden-Harris Administration Did This Week #32

August 30-September 6 2024.

President Biden announced $7.3 billion in clean energy investment for rural communities. This marks the largest investment in rural electrification since the New Deal. The money will go to 16 rural electric cooperatives across 23 states Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Together they will be able to generate 10 gigawatts of clean energy, enough to power 5 million households about 20% of America's rural population. This clean energy will reduce greenhouse emissions by 43.7 million tons a year, equivalent to removing more than 10 million cars off the road every year.

The Biden-Harris Administration announced a historic 10th offshore wind project. The latest project approved for the Atlantic coast of Maryland will generate 2,200 megawatts of clean, reliable renewable energy to power 770,000 homes. All together the 10 offshore wind projects approved by the Biden-Harris Administration will generation 15 gigawatts, enough to power 5.25 million homes. This is half way to the Administration's goal of 30 gigawatts of clean offshore wind power by 2030.

President Biden signed an Executive Order aimed at supporting and expanding unions. Called the "Good Jobs EO" the order will direct all federal agencies to take steps to recognize unions, to not interfere with the formation of unions and reach labor agreements on federally supported projects. It also directs agencies to prioritize equal pay and pay transparency, support projects that offer workers benefits like child care, health insurance, paid leave, and retirement benefits. It will also push workforce development and workplace safety.

The Department of Transportation announced $1 billion to make local roads safer. The money will go to 354 local communities across America to improve roadway safety and prevent deaths and serious injuries. This is part of the National Roadway Safety Strategy launched in 2022, since then traffic fatalities have decreased for 9 straight quarters. Since 2022 the program has supported projects in 1,400 communities effecting 75% of all Americans.

The Department of Energy announced $430 million to support America's aging hydropower. Hydropower currently accounts for nearly 27% of renewable electricity generation in the United States. However many of our dams were built during the New Deal for a national average of 79 years old. The money will go to 293 projects across 33 states. These updates will improve energy generation, workplace safety, and have a positive environmental impact on local fish and wildlife.

The EPA announced $300 million to help support tribal nations, and US territories cut climate pollution and boost green energy. The money will support projects by 33 tribes, and the Island of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands. EPA Administer Michael S. Regan announced the funds along side Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland in Arizona to highlight one of the projects. A project that will bring electricity for the first time to 900 homes on the Hopi Reservation.

The Biden-Harris Administration is investing $179 million in literacy. This investment in the Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grant is the largest in history. Studies have shown that the 3rd grade is a key moment in a students literacy development, the CLSD is designed to help support states research, develop, and implement evidence-based literacy interventions to help students achieve key literacy milestones.

The US government secured the release of 135 political prisoners from Nicaragua. Nicaragua's dictator President Daniel Ortega has jailed large numbers of citizens since protests against his rule broke out in 2018. In February 2023 the US secured the release of over 200 political prisoners. Human rights orgs have documented torture and sexual abuse in Ortega's prisons.

The Justice Department announced the disruption of a major effort by Russia to interfere with the 2024 US Elections. Russian propaganda network, RT, deployed $10 million to Tenet Media to help spread Russian propaganda and help sway the election in favor of Trump and the Republicans as well as disrupting American society. Tenet Media employs many well known conservative on-line personalities such as Benny Johnson, Tim Pool, Lauren Southern, Dave Rubin, Tayler Hansen and Matt Christiansen.

Vice-President Harris outlined her plan for Small Businesses at a campaign stop in New Hampshire. Harris wants to expand from $5,000 to $50,000 tax incentives for startup expenses. This would help start 25 million new small business over four years.

WWE Friday Night SmackDown Full Results (February 3rd 2023)

[one-time-i-dreamt]

This was a while ago but I had a dream where I was dead. But like, I was interacting with people and saying goodbye and everyone (myself included) was sad because I was dead, so this was our last chance to talk. I woke up and was very upset because I wasn’t sure how I was going to cope with being dead.

ES Morning Update February 3rd 2023

We went up a little higher then I thought we would yesterday as I really didn’t think the market would hit 4200, but it did… go figure! I have been talking about that mid-points zone as a target high for this last move up for a month now probably, but I didn’t listen to myself and shorted on Wednesday instead.  It hasn’t changed anything though as I’m still quite bearish here and will continue to…
