hey y'all

so, stonks discourse has been in the air, but it wasn't directly why I looked this up

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_Fu

you may be wondering what the MPAA has to do with onion futures

(not really, j/k, like me you probably had *no* idea what-so-heckin'-ever that the MPAA [yes! *that* MPAA] would even be mentioned in an article about agricultural commodities tradin)

so go on, read it.

what's particularly great* about it is that this one little old allium was the only thing in the law until 2010, when the discourse was all Stop the Times Square Mosque this and Repeal and Replace Obamacare that, but the content industry hirelings saw an opportunity to tame The Market and so scuttled right on over and slipped that one in

@deejoe Haha amazing. Fucking wild. Can't wait for Congress to pass an incredibly specific "no you can't do PRECISELY THAT" act in response to everything

@darius

I think we'll be learning for a while yet about all sorts of weird stuff that passed in the last month

omg. we arranged a rental prior to a ~2000 mile relo. I asked if they allowed cats & they said yes.

Lease shows up in the mail to be signed (this was The Before Time, the Internet was young, and a darkness was upon the waters) but it specified *one* cat allowed.

wtf. we had two cats. with an 's' as in plural.

had to bail on that plan.

eventually found a place but grrr.
