I’m sorry, but the Netflix showrunner referring to Kataang as an “issue to tackle” in the future is some of the funniest shit I’ve ever read/heard.

The Desire To Do Good

You’re only making a mess by trying to put things straight. You’re trying to straighten out a wiggly world, and no wonder you’re in trouble. Allan Watts How do you start an essay about seeing this wonderfully wiggly world without mentioning how acutely our people are struggling? In less than a month, we’ve witnessed the survivors of a massive Maui fire stagger around Lahaina’s ruins in…

Do you think Toothless ever grumbles and is sarcastic in his internal monologue and then goes: "Great. I must be exhausted I'm starting to sound like Hiccup."

Hiccup building a gadget in the forge two meters away: "Did you just make fun of me?"

Toothless grumbling about how it's a long time past midnight and they should be asleep, can't Hiccup tinker in the morning or something

Hiccup: "No one is forcing you to be here, Toothless."

Toothless howls at the other and glares. Hiccup glares back. They're having a glaring contest at two in the morning.

Moments later, Berk's heir is being dragged back to the hut by his sleeve by a dark creature that almost blends into the shadows save for annoyed vivid green eyes as the boy argues with the Unholy Offspring of Lightning and Death Itself in hushed grumbles.

“I can’t believe Tom Cruise of all people would stand up for his agent, a Muslim Libyan-American woman, who was being publicly blacklisted for her support of Palestine and calling out the ongoing genocide, including making a rare in-person appearance to CAA headquarters in LA to express his support for her. What a strange person who can ever guess what opinions he will have.”

Look. I’ve studied Tom Cruise a lot. One could even call me a Cruisologist. (Not to be confused with. Well.) And, it’s actually really easy to predict Tom Cruise’s opinion on something. The tricky part is whether it will be made public in a timely manner or not and, if it’s made public at all, will it be a lede buried in favor of pushing a narrative sold on background by a studio exec he pissed off because he didn’t roll over and take their bullshit.

[capitalism-and-analytics]

We have a progressive income tax system, so even if the CEO was subject to a 40% income tax, it wouldn't be calculated on the total salary, but only the portion that was netted in that tax bracket.

Even if compensation is issued in the form of stock, it is taxed as ordinary income (e.g. salary) and only the appreciation between vesting date and sale date would be subject to the capital gains tax.

Using stock as collateral for debt still requires the CEO to pay back the debt plus interest and then the tax on the appreciation of stock.

I rate this 3/10 for accuracy; only because they successfully acknowledge a separation of capital gains tax after selling and that debt instruments can be used as a mechanism for tax deferral.
