    I feel like we just watched how a writers room for a skit comedy show works. Someone drops some random fun idea, next person picks it up and adds to it, next person might add a bit of a dud but that sets up the next person to alley oop the dud into a slam dunk. This was a great time and a really interesting thing to watch. I could watch these people interact like this forever.

    Regarding the Biden as tech savvy genius bit at the end. way back in the 80s on SNL Phil Hartman did a hilarious sketch where he played Reagan just like that. Guests would come into the oval office and Reagan would pretend to be an out of it dementia addled loveable old grandpa with the jelly beans etc. But then when they left he would immediately turn into a scheming Machiavellian badass.

    I remember her from Girlfriends obviously but I finally noticed her all of her on Lyricist Lounge and I was hooked then. I dabbled with Reed between the lines but Black-ish felt like a natural evolution for her. I wasn't trying to follow her but I didn't miss anything of hers and I'm glad I didn't, one of the most underrated performers ever and I say that not knowing about her mom being Diana Ross until Black-ish, I was just enjoying her organically 😊

      I started investing in the stock market because of dividends. What matters, in my opinion, is that if you invest and earn more money in addition to dividends, you will be able to live off of dividends without selling. It implies that you can pass that on to your children, giving them a head start in life. I've invested over $600k in dividend stocks over the years; I continue to buy more today and will continue to do so until the price lowers even further.

      I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I appreciate giving an investment coach the power of decision-making. Given their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it is practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over 1.5 million dollars working with an investment coach for more than two years

      I’m not sure you know this, but many people have spent their entire lives trying to get a serious acting gig, but only a small minority do. I don’t know where you got the part where she was “paid dust” as well, because it doesn’t take much effort to look up her biography to see that that isn’t true. If you think that’s “dust”, then I shudder to think what you consider to be minimum to average wage.

And in her specific case, being on a successful black show on a black network wasn't enough to get her on the Tonight Show. She never said she was a failure.

    So he makes a pair of shoes and walks to the bank, hijinks ensue! waka waka! I think it won some small award that year. What a long strange career, I have never had a job longer than a few months
