Why would you get this watch when you can do this?

Cool--I didn't know Apple added more watch faces for the Nano.

Tornado warning. Oh, joy. It sounds like it's going to stay a bit north of me.

Is it me?! He should choose me!

eta: Oh. Tom Waits. Right. I could see that might work.

Fans really loved the gender-switched Fionna and Cake episode. Will there be more of them?

We’re thinking about it. If we did do another Fionna and Cake, it would be focused more on Marshall Lee the Vampire King. That’s about all I can say about it right now.

Nice. But since Adventure Time cast Kate Beaton's assassin pony, my stunt-casting wish list has dissolved into a puddle of helpless fangirlish squee. They can't ever, ever do any better than that.

Either pay your taxes at your secretary's rate AND give more to charities that fall in line with your ideologies, which you can clearly afford, or don't. But don't bitch about it when you can absolutely do something about it. It's disingenuous.

To the extent that these are business taxes, there are good reasons for someone who wants higher tax rates not to pay more voluntarily. To survive as a business you can't raise your expenses a great deal higher than your competitors. I don't know about Rodger, but Buffet who deliberately does not take advantage of loopholes would be putting his business at risk if it started paying higher taxes while his competition did not. Same way progressive business people often support regulations and higher minimum wage. There is a race to the bottom in competitive situations, and a lot of reasons to say "make me and everybody do this" rather than just voluntarily doing the thing.

I wonder if there's a point at which they stop and think that they don't need one. more. thing.

I turn the mirror on myself. I have a pretty healthy income (nowhere close to high enough to be affected by a tax hike on 250k plus, though), a 1500sf house, three cars (the newest is 12 years old), and a fair share of gadgets. Spending a couple hundred dollars on something is doable without worrying about paying the mortgage.

All in all, that's awfully wealthy compared to a lot of people in this country alone. I'd still like to have more money to replace one of those cars with something newer and nicer. I wouldn't mind getting a house with even more space. A 50 inch TV instead of a 37 inch TV would be pretty sweet... I imagine it's just like that only scaled up.

I think until you get to a very select group who can basically buy anything they want without worrying about tomorrow, it's pretty easy to think 'it sure wouldn't hurt to have just a little more income'.

For some rich people, the extra income is about keeping score.

Oh, Pope Palpatine... What the fucking fuck.
