Just finished Happy Gilmore 2, it was… fine. It stands on the shoulders of the original and its cast. A few good bits and jokes here and there but otherwise meh.
It lands just inside the top ten of our Adam Sandler Power Ranking for now, but will definitely get pushed out when we get around to a few of the remaining classics on the todo list like Eight Crazy Nights.

Sad to say the glory days of Fold being an absolute cheat code seem to be over. PayPal bill pay has been nerfed into the ground, so double stacking rewards on credit cards is dead.
At least for me, Fold is now just a way to get Amazon gift cards and a bit of cash back on my mortgage payment.

Unions lobbying for tariffs is a perfect illustration of tunnel-visioning on a desired outcome, and not enough on what is incentivized by a given action. You can’t force someone else to care about something if they don’t want to.
