#KEEP COOKING THAT FRAUD CHARLES

[olive-nothere]

Charles win, Lando missing podium because of a penalty… today is a very good day for me

[hotelsweet]

au where songwriter!jake is famous for writing such lovely singy songs about love and such and fans are always tryna figure out .who. exactly he's talking about because his lyrics are so vivid and real it Has to be about someone specific. that is until jake accidentally tweets a pic of amy santiago, academy award nominee, laughing in his couch as they play monopoly on his Famous twitter acc instead of his extremely private Close Mutual Friends Only diehard stan account

this has been sat in my inbox for TWO MONTHS I am so sorry I’m not even sure if these headcanons are actually worth it but I just want this fantastic idea out in the world thank you sm - Jake’s acoustic, soft songs are on every lovey-dovey / relaxing playlist you’ll find. He is UNAVOIDABLE. Everyone’s girlfriend loves him (even if they won’t admit it). For that matter, everyone’s boyfriend loves him, too. - After years of small bursts of work, bringing in little to no income, his songs start getting thrown into TV shows. One’s in an ad. Then, sure enough, the radio.- Suddenly he’s got hundreds of thousands of followers, and a publicist who’s very sternly reminding him that no, he cannot keep posting pictures on instagram of his latest sandwich creations (each day with a fun new ingredient!) four times a week, all with different ratings, along with an ‘Expert’s Review’ from his roommate Charles. No, Jake, says Kelsey-the-super-strict-publicist, you have an image to maintain. - Obviously, the world needs to experience Jake’s disastrous and disgusting cooking fails somewhere, so he opens a private instagram account disguised as a Die Hard stan account. Only his closest friends follow it- Rosa, Gina, Charles, and his manager, Ray. - Life becomes a little more complicated (and a lot more amazing) when, on tour in New York, Jake meets Amy Santiago. 

- Shaw’s, in Brooklyn, was supposed to be a small retreat from the busy bars Kelsey-the-super-strict-publicist is always trying to get Jake to hit up- plus, it’s not far from his old apartment, so he can stay the night with Charles rather than going to a hotel. - They talk for hours. The bar closes, he walks her back home, and they talk even more, kicked back on her couch like they’ve been friends for years. - Eventually, they stop talking. - Jake’s life is never going to be the same. He almost feels like a fraud- never has he met someone like this, not in his whole life, and yet he’s making his living off art that claims he has. - This is where things change. - The next day he wakes up completely inspired. A new man. New lyrics fill the notes on his phone and odd, and mismatched voice-recordings and videos filled with new melodies are sent back and forth between him and some guys from the studio.- Life becomes a whirlwind; he’s touring, attempting to make time to fly back and see Amy- or better yet, fly her out to wherever he is- and producing an entirely new album. - What’s most frustrating about this album is that he’s not as easily satisfied with what he’s making as he was with his original stuff- everything has to be perfect, because it’s not just about him anymore, not just about all these old experiences, it’s about Amy. - The album takes upwards of a year and a half. Fans are hungry for more, after several years’ worth of steadily releasing music. Kelsey-the-super-strict-publicist has absolutely no issue with this- Jake’s a hot topic all over the internet. Memes are cropping up about how long he’s taking to drop the music. He’s doing her job for her.- Eventually, just after Amy moves in with him, he releases the album. How’s he sure about it, you ask? The first time Amy listens to it, alone in the living room with a pair of headphones and his laptop, she cries. When he catches her, she throws her arms around him and holds him so tight he thinks he might suffocate. That’s how he knows he’s done this right. - The internet blows the fuck up when this album lands. Everyone’s talking about it, from teenagers to adults to the particularly romantic elderly. - It’s not until an especially nosy Buzzfeed article crops up - namely: So, Who The Hell is Jake Peralta’s New Album About? - that people’s curiosity starts to heat up. The article features a gratuitous amount of gifs and an in-depth analysis of Jake’s travels over the last few years, plus any pictures of him and female celebrities.- Understandably, it freaks both Jake and Amy out a little, largely because twitter goes into conspiracy-mode, everyone trying to figure out who this girl is. Some threads are even trying to find out who the boy is, which makes Amy laugh.- After a little while, like all other topics on the internet, it dies down.- RIGHT UNTIL JAKE POSTS THE PICTURE.- Amy’s in her sweats, dark hair falling over her face, sat back on the other side of his couch, in hysterics over some stupid joke he’s made. The picture is one the best he’s ever taken of her, so obviously it goes straight onto the private insta. - Except it doesn’t.- The internet goes wild.- Amy’s facebook page, her only social media, implodes.- Kelsey-the-super-strict-publicist has a field day.- Jake’s never been more apologetic to any one person in his life; he can’t stop apologising to Amy, even though she insists she doesn’t mind. She’s a cop, after all- if anyone does anything creepy she can just arrest them.- Secretly, though she’ll never admit it, she kind of likes it. The fact is, she’s the proudest woman on earth, with the most wonderful boyfriend she could have ever asked for.If the whole world knows, it saves her the job of screaming it from the rooftops.

Man-Child Donald Trump Reacts BIGLY By Signing “Useless” Excutive Order That Targets Social Media

Source: Pool / Getty

Donald Trump is not here for being fact-checked when he puts out false or misleading information.

Yesterday (May.28), the man-child, Donald Trump, reacted BIGLY to Twitter fact-checking his fugazi tweets that inaccurately stated “widespread fraud” takes place with mail-in voting. Doing what he does best, he signed an executive order that put tech companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Google as well as the internet law that gives them legal immunity from the content users may share on their platforms.

We also want to point out Trump’s response to Twitter was much faster than his response to battling COVID-19.

Anyway, at the White House, in the Oval Office where he does nothing, Trump said, “We’re fed up with it,” before he signed the executive order. He also added:

“That’s a big deal. They have a shield. They can do what they want. They’re not going to have that shield.”

#BREAKING: President Trump signs executive order strip liability protection from companies that censure content: "Companies that engage in censoring or any political conduct will not be able to keep their liability shield." https://t.co/D5ooUw1fNz pic.twitter.com/FHs7kUvJH1

— The Hill (@thehill) May 28, 2020

After Trump “read” and signed the EO, The White House released the final order on its website. It basically states that it could “pare back platform liability protections under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.” Under the act, companies are given broad immunity from liability for the content users share on their platforms. The executive order allows the Commerce Department and the Federal Communications Commission to reinterpret the law and gives the Federal Trade Commission the ability to create a tool for users to report bias online.

Twitter, who recently censored but not delete one Trump’s tweets for “glorification of violence,” responded to Trump signing the executive order Thursday night in a tweet.

“This EO is a reactionary and politicized approach to a landmark law. #Section230 protects American innovation and freedom of expression, and it’s underpinned by democratic values. Attempts to unilaterally erode it threaten the future of online speech and Internet freedoms.”

Facebook — who recently came under fire after its CEO and founder, Mark Zuckerberg caped for Donald Trump — also issued a statement.

“Facebook is a platform for diverse views. We believe in protecting freedom of expression on our services while protecting our community from harmful content including content designed to stop voters from exercising their right to vote. Those rules apply to everybody. Repealing or limiting section 230 will have the opposite effect. It will restrict more speech online, not less. By exposing companies to potential liability for everything that billions of people around the world say, this would penalize companies that choose to allow controversial speech and encourage platforms to censor anything that might offend anyone.”

Many legal experts believe Trump’s executive order won’t hold up in court, but speaking with Vox, National Review editor Charles C.W. Cooke states this is just Trump basically trying to stick it the libs and his base will eat it up.

“It’s an example of a cultural power that Trump tries to wield. And so he thinks that people will look at him running against Joe Biden and they’ll say, well, I need that guy fight my corner against all of this left-wing cultural power that is unchecked.”

“Whether or not his voters are on those social media platforms, that willingness [to fight] which he will recount these rallies and his emails and press releases and TV appearances, I think appeals to a lot of people.”

Whatever the case it’s clear Donald would rather focus on the fact Twitter is done with his shenanigans than helping the country he is supposed to be in charge of during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Action Bronson “BLUE CHIPS 7000″ Album Commentary

    Action Bronson has been putting on for chubby white guys who hate Michael Jordan for the better part of a decade now, I guess that's why I've always had a special place in my heart for his music.  The Queens, New York born Crook-turned-Cook-turned-Rapper-turned-TV personality has an uncommon bag of references and a flair for showmanship that is highly polarizing; you're either gonna be a big fan of a guy who talks French cuisine and Italian handbags on almost every track, or you're gonna sleep on him on your way to defending XXXtentacion in yet another online argument. His listening audience has been waiting for this project since the psychedelic, experimental Mr. Wonderful dropped back in March of 2015. Let's dive right in and see what Bronson and his bevy of hit making, sampling  expert producers have for us:

 1)      Wolf Pack:

               This track opens with an audio clip of Action Bronson having a conversation with (who I am assuming is) his very, very stoned mother in a car. It's a jarring way to start an album; you can hear a dog whimper and another woman laugh from somewhere inside the car, it's strange- but then, a musical jumpcut puts us in the passenger seat of a 74' Coup De Ville on our way to collect some money we're owed while Bronson shouts "PUERTO RICAN AIRFORCE ONES AT THE WEDDING" which is the perfect opening to this album. This beat is perfect, Bronson rides the pocket expertly, only stepping out of the sweet spot to say inflammatory shit like "YOU SMOKE LITTLE BLUNTS LIKE KEVIN HART'S ARMS" or "I SHOT DOPE BEFORE I WROTE THIS - SNORT DOPE AND DO AEROBICS BY THE OCEAN" it's an excellent leadoff.

4/5

2)      La Luna:

               Of course this is going to be an album full of skits, Bronson loves that type of theatre. The conceit of this track is Action's homie calling "La Luna Luxury car rentals" and being put on hold, and that hold music just happens to be the funkiest beat of all time- so Action raps over it from across the room until the beat fades all the way in. From there it's the average Bronson song. A lot of really cool, quotable bars that evoke 80's coke dream vibes.

3/5  

3)      Chairman's Intent:

               Right back to it, this beat sounds like the score to a 70's blacksploitation flick and Action is even more swaggering than usual in his delivery and lyrics. Halfway through the track the beat cuts out, and a beautiful string section hints at the song ending... right before the beat slams back on and Action shouts "TWO PUMPS FROM THE INHALER GOT ME FEELING LIKE LAWRENCE TAYLOR" and all of the sudden I am in a silk bathrobe dancing around my living room like a fucking fool. Don't listen to this song unless you're trying to build the courage to do an armed robbery or else you're gonna derail your whole life by accident. This is home invasion music. It's a musical Tarantino flick, but like, less N Words dropped.

4/5

4)      Hot Pepper (feat. Mayhem Lauren and Jah Tiger):

Thank god we get to hear from Mayhem Laurenovich on this album. This duo is one of the best tag teams in all of rap music, together here rapping over a hook provided by Jamaica's own Jah Tiger (first seen on an episode of "Fuck That's Delicious".) Bronson's verse is a lot of fun (saying shit like "I'M QUALIFIED TO SPEAK FOR MY ATTORNIES, ADRESS THE JURY IN A SHAQ  JERSEY"), buy Mayhem steals the show on the song. He comes in, off beat as hell and overpowers the whole shit. He's flexing about some amazing shit here, "YOU THE TYPE TO COMPLIMENT A ROLLIE AT THE URINAL - I'M THE TYPE TO RESEARCH CONTINENTS AND THEN EXPLORE A FEW" that's fucking hilarious.

4/5

5)      Bonzai:

               This track is fucking amazing. This is the exact Action Bronson I first became a fan of- more measured both in production and in his lyrics here. "DADDY BACK WITH HIS LONG WHITE CADDILLAC, NOW IT'S TIME TO TAKE A NAPPY-NAP" your favourite could never sound like a king pin while saying "Nappy-Nap" b I guarantee it. The more conversational, less action movie star Bronson is a welcome surprise on this album that has so far been an audio reimagining of every movie that his namesake Charles Bronson ever starred in. The crackhead audio at the end is also pretty, pretty good.

5/5

6)      Let It Rain:

               This song starts with the sounds of a chick moaning (weird) and a really crazy Merengue instrumental serving as the beat (fire). I'm about to don my dance shoes and show you turkeys how to box step like a 5 time ballroom champ. Once you get past the super awkward audio of the woman cumming the song is actually pretty sick, as soon as I'm rich enough to steal a boat I will be piloting it out into a quiet, sunny bay and listening to this while I search the entire cabin for the liquor cabinet before accidentally capsizing the vessel.  The last bar on the track is Action exclaiming "THESE DUDES TRASH LIKE MICHAEL JORDAN JEANS" which means a whole lot to me.

4/5

7)      My Right Lung:

               This track opens with the silkiest jazz you've ever heard, but it's got this bite to it that makes you think Gil Scott Heron is about to hop into the breach and tell us that white people are the devil, before this Albanian Devil leans in with- "I'D GIVE MY RIGHT LUNG IF I COULD DUNK A BASKETBALL ONE TIME" -Fuck okay Bronson, me too. This might be my favorite track on this whole album. I demand to know who this sample is- if it is a sample at all. I'm impressed with how much he lets the beat breathe on this, it creates an atmosphere that makes his last, more frenetic verse pay off a ton harder. "FUCK A CRITIC, I'LL HAVE MY LIL SPANISH HOMIE HIT YOU WITH THE CIVIC - SPEND A MOTHERFUCKER SPINNIN"

5/5

8)      TANK (featuring Big Body Bes):

       This beat is fucking crazy. The flip on the sample is insane. Bronson is spitting really fun, carefree shit here like "SOMEHOW WE GOT JEEPS IN JAIL, TELL THE JUDGE IT'S ALL GOOD, GO HEAD AND KEEP THAT BAIL" and "DADDY SWERVE THE COUP WITH CONVICTION, GUNS UNDER THE PILLOW LIKE MY TOOTH MISSING, EVERYBODY KNOW IT'S ME CUS THE ROOF MISSING." Then Big Body Bes steps in and screams the dumbest, coolest sounding shit ever like only he is capable of. "ONLY GOD COULD BENCH US - YOU WAS IN THE DAYROOM DOING SPLITS - I TOLD YOU STOP BLOCKING THE TV - I'M TRYING TO WATCH MAURY - AND HANG THAT FUCKING PHONE UP" Holy fuck I'm 5 years old again watching WWE for the first time.

5/5

9)      Let Me Breathe:

       Harry Fraud and Action Bronson should get married n make music together every damn day. They are a power couple, and have maybe never made a bad song together? This was the leadoff single from this album, and also probably my least favourite song on it- but it's still very good. It's a little cute for my likes, but I say that as I nod my head in a top-to-bottom Ralph Lauren outfit that I didn't have on before this song started playing.

3/5

10)   9-24-7000 (feat Rick Ross):

       This shit is crazy. It opens with Action comparing himself with Sting, and moves on to a whole myriad of blowjobs, fast cars and fine dining - before he dives off the back of a boat and let's Rick Ross take a turn on the mic. NOW, i should preface this off the bat- Rick Ross could not have written this verse- it's too good. Same shit happened with his verse on Devil In A New Dress.. Anything too impressive coming out of Ross' corner, I just assume it was 8 struggle rappers turned ghost writers and a whole lot of coffee in some shitty office building near Burbank- ANYWAY- This verse is good as hell, it makes the song slap in the way only Rick Ross lending a verse can. I want some goddamn lemon pepper wings now. You can hear J. Cole's woke rant at the end of this track too, which is sad but fun.

5/5

11)   The Choreographer:

       I'll take the time to say it now- if not the best album of the year - this has so far been the most fun to listen to. I have been transported to a lot of foreign locales and into the back seat of a lot of vintage luxury automobiles just by throwing in headphones and pressing play on this shit. A standing ovation can be heard at the top of this track, and it's honestly really deserved. I want to roller-skate with a single mother to this shit, not even in a roller rink either. He's out here doing his best Dru Hill impression (literally) on this track. Give it up to Bronson. This shit is great.

4.5/5

12)   Chop Chop Chop:

       Back to the psychedelia that made so many cameos on Action Bronson's last project. A smoky choir backs up drugged out guitar riffs and shaky drums behind Bronson's "THE WHEELS ON THE RANGE GO CHOP CHOP" chorus, and the standout bar on this shit, "THE BLUNT LASTS LONGER THAN A WHOLE BADHU CONCERT" that's hilarious. For all the work he put in on the first half of this album, these last few tracks just feel like a victory lap.

3.5/5

13)   Durag vs. Headband (feat Big Body Bes):

               Victory lap complete. This whole album went fucking hammers, and this song is the perfect button on it. He's just stunting on us, it's fantastic. "I'M IN THE CLUB WITH A CONDOM ON - ALL UNDERARMOR ON" then Bes' chorus, and him fucking everything up again with more angry spouting off that simultaneously makes me giggle like a kid and want to commit felonies. This shit is good as hell.

 4/5

   OVERALL SCORE: 8.3/10

 This album is everything I want from a Bronson project. It's got dope beats, ridiculous lyrics, + attitude and brevity in equal parts. The best track, IMO, has got to be "TANK".

Argument analysis: Justices seek middle ground on SEC’s right to disgorgement in securities litigation

The argument yesterday in Liu v. Securities and Exchange Commission revealed a surprisingly unified bench, as the bulk of the discussion suggested sympathy for a compromise decision that would accept fully the views of neither side.

The case involves the scope of relief in enforcement actions that the Securities and Exchange Commission brings in federal court (as opposed to its internal administrative proceedings). The specific problem concerns the availability of a general remedy of “disgorgement” of a defendant’s profits from an unlawful scheme, in addition to specific provisions for penalties and injunctive relief.

Gregory G. Rapawy for petitioners (Art Lien)

The case arises from an investment fund operated by petitioners Charles Liu and Xin Wang, which solicited investments that were to be used to construct a cancer treatment center in California. The SEC brought suit alleging that Liu and Wang did not spend the funds as promised. Persuaded by the SEC’s allegations, the district court enjoined future activity by the defendants, imposed penalties equal to the “personal gain” that the defendants received from the fund (about $8 million) and also ordered them to “disgorge” the remaining $19 million that they received from investors. The argument yesterday considered the propriety of that last item – the order of disgorgement.

Arguing for Liu and Wang, Gregory Rapawy’s first point relied on a Supreme Court decision three years ago, Kokesh v. SEC, which held that a claim for disgorgement in an SEC enforcement action should have the shorter statute of limitations accorded to “penalties.” Rapawy reasoned that the justices traditionally do not recognize actions for “penalties” under the SEC’s general authority to seek “equitable relief” that justified the agency’s lawsuit. But Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg cut him off sternly, quoting the quip of a famous academic (Walter Wheeler Cook) that the “tendency to assume that a word appearing in two or more legal contexts [has the same meaning in both] is a notion that has all the tenacity of original sin and must constantly be guarded against.”

Indeed, none of the justices displayed any sympathy for Rapawy’s argument that the explicit availability of disgorgement in the SEC’s administrative proceedings suggests that the courts should not recognize its availability in judicial proceedings under the catch-all provision for “equitable relief.” They did, however, show strong support for the idea (pressed in an amicus brief filed by a group of law professors) that the SEC’s conception of “disgorgement” is broader than might be appropriate.

That point came out early on when Justice Samuel Alito asked Rapawy whether his “argument [is] that disgorgement is never possible or that disgorgement has been interpreted too broadly by the courts? Suppose it were limited to net profits and suppose every effort was made to return the money to the victims of the fraud?” In the same vein, moments later, Justice Sonia Sotomayor challenged Rapawy’s argument that the statute isn’t broad enough to cover disorgement, “assuming, as Justice Alito has stated, that the [remedy] is only for net profits that are given to the actual people injured.” Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Elena Kagan promptly followed up, pressing Rapawy to accept disgorgement with those same two limitations.

When Rapawy suggested that it might be difficult for courts to police efforts to return funds to the wrongdoer, two more justices jumped in to disagree. Chief Justice John Roberts scoffed at the idea that it would be hard to return the money to investors, suggesting that “[p]resumably the investors would want money, and … I would assume that investors should be pretty easy to find if there’s money available.” Similarly, Justice Neil Gorsuch offered a parallel to “our class action practice today, [in which] we do police the efforts of the defendant to find and return money to the investors.” Why, Gorsuch asked, “doesn’t that supply a ready guide and maybe make it impermissible for the government to not make any effort at all … assuming we reject your primary argument?”

Conversely, the court’s questions to Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm Stewart, representing the SEC, focused on why the government so often has kept the receipts from these actions rather than returning them to investors. Both Sotomayor and Gorsuch pressed Stewart early on about why the government should be keeping the funds. As Sotomayor put it, the statute suggests that the “equitable relief” that is “appropriate” is equitable relief “appropriate or necessary for the benefit of investors,” which doesn’t seem to suggest a remedy that provides funds for the federal government in general.

Stewart eventually responded that the SEC would have no problem with a district court’s ordering the government in an appropriate case to return the funds to the investors, but that seemed unacceptable to Kavanaugh, who interrupted to “make sure I’m clear on your answer to Justice Gorsuch and Justice Sotomayor? Because the first time you answered it, you said it would be appropriate for a district court to say that. … Would it be appropriate for this Court to say that’s the rule; namely, that it has to be returned to investors where feasible?”

As Stewart’s argument wound down, Ginsburg turned to the question of net profits, asking Stewart whether he could defend the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit’s conclusion that the government was entitled to disgorgement of every dollar raised by the defendants based on its view that “there were no legitimate expenses to deduct to arrive at net profit.” Stewart attempted to defend the lower court findings as purely factual findings not well suited for review by the Supreme Court, but on rebuttal Rapawy offered a strongly contrary explanation. According to Rapawy, the record also contains an explicit factual finding that the defendants already have returned every dollar that the two of them individually received, which would mean that they already have returned all of their net profits.

It always is hazardous to draw firm conclusions from discussion at oral argument. This case, though, does suggest a bench coalescing around a unanimous (or nearly unanimous) view that disgorgement is appropriate in the abstract, with a remand to the lower court to consider whether the remedy was appropriately tailored in this particular case. If the justices can settle on such an outcome, the case well might be decided quite soon.

So now that Disney has officially launched Operation: Again, I have a theory that Nickelodeon is going to catch on. They’ve already started. Check it:

And since we’re making a live action movie about Dora The Explora in literal high school, I have a few more pitches:

UmiZoomi: The Musical: In which Millie is played by Nicki Minaj and Geo by Drake. Bot is voiced by Alexa playing ‘Despacito’ on repeat. The Troublemakers are played by Azealia Banks and Danielle Bregoli as a reference to their obsession with trying to start shit. The Troublemakers aim to make vaccination illegal using falsified information from medical frauds. Millie and Geo are revealed to be in an incestual relationship- threatened by Geo’s flirty romance with DoorMouse, played by Donald J. Trump. And to top it all off? It’s sung and rapped through.

Peppa Pig and The Revolution of Old MacDonald: Millie Bobby Brown stars as Peppa Pig in this action packed blockbuster. The Pig family’s lives, along with the lives of all of wherever the fuck they live, are threatened when Old MacDonald comes guns blazing, intending to transform all the animals into meat produce. While Peppa leads a revolution along with George (Cameron Boyce) Daddy Pig (Adam Sandler) stands up to Mummy Pig (Rebel Wilson) and her verbal abuse through fat shaming.
