Ten years later, this bit still slaps. They made a great pun and realized they could be nice/inclusive with it too.

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

no she doesn’t

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

Leverage plot!

The Mark: Billionaire Playboy Bruce Wayne.

The Con: Frame him for being Batman.

This is back in the days when Batman is still mostly considered an urban legend and the Gotham City PD is pretty unanimously in "if he is real, arrest him" mode. So Bruce turning out to be Batman would be very bad for him, his reputation, and his business.

The crew is split on whether Batman is real. Nate doesn't believe it, obviously, Hardison and Parker do, Sophie thinks its some gangster running a con to get their competitors out of business, Eliot also doesn't believe it.

So Bruce obviously isn't happy when he hears that there's someone out there faking Batman sightings and casting suspicion on him, so he goes out to figure out what's going on. This means that he leaves during a fancy party he was attending, that Nate and Sophie were also at for con reasons. Meanwhile, Parker and Hardison have to infiltrate Wayne Manor for whatever reason, which has unusually high security for just some rich dude's mcmansion, and because Hardison's a genius and Parker is the world's greatest thief, they accidentally discover the Batcave, only to run into Alfred.

While that's going on, Eliot is faking a Batman sighting only to run into the real Batman. He loses the fight because even though we are following the rule of "Every story with the Leverage crew becomes a Leverage episode" and Eliot is very good, there is no way he beats the goddamn Batman. He does recognize his fighting style means that Batman trained with the League of Assassins, though, because "It's a very distinctive style." Though, of course, Batman doesn't get any information out of him and Eliot is still able to get away.

Cut back to the Batcave, Alfred has Hardison at gunpoint because he's a badass but Parker was still hidden so he didn't find her. And since Parker is Batman tier stealthy, she drops down behind him and tases him. Team Leverage now knows Bruce Wayne is Batman for real. Meanwhile Batman is now aware of Eliot and, because Eliot talks to the others during the fight, is aware that he has accomplices. He's also suspicious of Nate and Sophie because they were acting very strange at the party. And, of course, he's heading to the Batcave so even if Parker and Hardison are gone by that point, Alfred still saw them. Which means Team Leverage/Batman Team-Up! The real villains turn out to be Wayne Enterprises' corrupt and greedy shareholders, who were using Bruce as a scapegoat.

Something I'm thinking about with the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz is how economic reality and actual, real life industrial capacity clashes against economic fiction and gambling. 20% of the world's oil and gas supply is currently stuck, with other goods heavily affected (fertilizer most prominently), actual oil infrastructure has been blown up to hell with years of reconstruction ahead, there are already shortages in major countries... and "the markets" keep going up and down like nothing is happening, a total disconnection from reality

And in a way, they are reality, aren't they? Somehow the financial class of the imperial core is able to do whatever they want with numbers and ignore the actual reality that affects millions of people. You cannot make oil barrels in a computer, you cannot speculate on the price of a crop that underperforms because of fertilizer. But they try anyways.

I'm already used to this in Argentina. Liberal economists who say that inflation is a "purely monetary phenomenon" who believe everything can be summed up to numbers and gambling with exchange rates and debt while the actual factories, farms, schools and daily budgets of people suffer and decay. The "real economy" they say, as far as I'm concerned the "real" economy is the only one that exists. However, somehow they manage to impose their strange, nonsense gambling idea of the world upon us, with real effects, like a religion.

I'm just rambling, don't mind me.

And this is of course to say nothing about the actual deaths and suffering in Iran, and so many other nations. It's all completely disconnected from reality from them. Just one look at a grieving mother with a child dead from a missile should stop everything on its tracks, force resignations, make these people fall one by one. Yet the world turns as always, and they double down, against the disgust and repudiation of the world (and no matter how bad things might seem, the world realizes), they triple down, preaching cruelty and genocide.

Someday there will be a reckoning. Not out of cosmic justice or anything, but because they cannot simply keep ignoring reality and getting away from it.

the number of times I have said “and it was for this that ________ was thrown out of the house of study” in meetings only to get a round of blank stares

[captain-acab]

If a rabbi is thrown out of the House of Study by a distance within 50 cubits, he is still welcome to return there. If he is thrown farther than 50 cubits from the House of Study, he is banished and may never return to it.

Rabbi Balmalocha asked: If the rabbi is thrown out and lands with one foot within 50 cubits and one foot outside of it, what is the law?

It was for this question that Rabbi Balmalocha was thrown 50 cubits out of the House of Study, then shoved one cubit farther for good measure.
