I want him

[see-arcane]

My brain is vibrating over the whole 'Millennium attempts to assassinate/abduct Jonathan' (sub)plot. Like I'm just sitting here staring at a wall, daydreaming about how that might go; does Jonathan escape on his own or does he get rescued, does the Doctor try vivisecting him, does Alucard pull a much more ramped up echo of the rescue scene in Dracula including the infamous, 'This man belongs to me' line? Thank you so much for sharing your delicious brain soup! I am slurping it up with respect!

-ladles out some more questionable soup-

I think the initial goal would be to capture Jonathan while he was still relatively underpowered while attempts to kill would spike when he started to prove a genuine threat. And YES it would be delicious for Alucard to call back to his roots with a livid This man belongs to me moment when Millennium's goons try to snatch Jonathan away. Most likely while Hellsing's forces are conveniently split up, leaving Jonathan relatively alone...like Mina was those nights in October.

Alucard would likely catch on quick--but this time without the cackling fit he gets on Rip Van Winkle's ship when he gets stranded. This isn't the start of a war (fuck yeah), this is someone trying to rob him (fuck you). Maybe Jonathan could've gotten away on his own, maybe not. However it works out, his ambush can't get him to the next location before Alucard arrives to rip the kidnappers into confetti. Honestly, this would be the lucky outcome for Millennium and the plot-in-potentia.

It'd be a real short story once Jonathan 1) Gets delivered to their special blimp HQ and 2) Discovers exactly what they did to this universe's Mina and her remains.

[ONE VOLCANIC RAMPAGE LATER]

Jonathan, walking back to Hellsing while carrying a skeleton bridal style: Millennium's dead.

Hellsing crew: What?

Jonathan, punting the Major and the Doctor's heads into the yard like footballs: Millennium's dead.

Bit of an anticlimax.

That said, failure to capture -> murder attempt. A close fight would ensue, followed by the requisite shounen power-up. Kukri blender engaged.

Rob Van Winkle, a.k.a. Vanilla Ice

[smokeybrand]

OVHOE

I’m a Black kid who grew up in the ghetto during the Eighties and Nineties. Rap and Hip Hop culture informed the bulk of my musical taste. My horizons were broader than most in my neighborhood, my grandma made sure I understood the value of Classical, Grand Ole Opery, and other genres frowned upon by the more street of my peers, but. Ultimately, I was inundated with Gangster Rap. I’m from California so of course I was. It was weird watching my experiences being sold to white suburbia and seeing how violent their reactions were toward it. Straight Outta Compton was my life. To Live and Die in LA was lived experience. Brenda Got a Baby happened to my next door neighbor. Those stories weren’t just thug lyrics on a record for people who looked like me, lived like I did. That was life for us, so Rap music, and Hip Hop at large, is intrinsically Black but it’s not exclusively so. White people have been tied to Hip Hop since its inception. Rick Rubin was the in-house Producer for Def Jam, way back when. That White boy crafted the sound of LL Cool J, The Beastie Boys, and Run DMC; pioneers of the genre. To this day, he is an honored member of the community, even if he works with artists from other genres. Mans produced Hurt by Johnny Cash. Rubin took that record to Cash and pleaded for him to make it. The Man in Black obliged and delivered one of the most powerful records ever pressed to wax. Decades later, Rubin was still making classics and consulting on others. You can’t f*ck with that guy because he is authentic in how he does his thing and that’s what makes Rap music so unique, its authenticity. So when a White boy boy like Vanilla Ice comes along, the community shows you what happens when you are not.

Rob van Winkle is a joke. A punchline. He saw what MC Hammer was doing and just copied his whole vibe. He was very successful at it. He made tons of loot doing just that. Vanilla Ice was everything Rap to a lot of Nineties Boomer Karens who wanted the edges softened on the music. Mr. Winkle played a character, went Hollywood, and got upset when Black people turned on him. Rob was a fan who knew nothing about the life he heard on wax, but wanted to know that world from a safe distance. Vanilla Ice is a culture Vulture who stole the aesthetic of Hip Hop, bleached it of all its Blackness, and repacked that sh*t in the most white bread way possible. Dude was Kids Bop before Kids Bop and made millions. Vanilla Ice is a phony. The life and experiences he rapped about, were never his own. It was something he heard or made up because it sounded dope. Studio Gangster but with none of the Gangster. MC Hammer was definitely about that life. His entourage was about that life. Hammer chose not to portray that sh*t in his rhymes too often because of marketing but Hammer will bust your ass if you press him. Genie pants be damned, he was authentic as f*ck. Vanilla Ice was not. It took damn near a decade before another White boy was taken seriously in Rap and, in my opinion, he’s one of the greatest to ever do it.

Eminem is a beast. He came into this game having the burden of proving White people deserve a place in Hip Hop. Vanilla Ice ruined it for and entire race of people but Marshall was able to re-open those doors. Cats heard Em for the first time and immediately gave him the pass. It helped tremendously he had the West Coast co-sign. I’m talking Dre, Snoop, and the entirety of Interscope had his back. He didn’t disappoint. The Slim Shady LP wasn’t my flavor but the Marshall Mathers LP definitely was. The first time I heard Till I Collapse, I knew the White Boy was The One. The flow, wordplay, passion, and vulnerability spoke true to HIS story. Em wasn’t on that record trying to convince me he was this drug kingpin or that he was going to beat your ass in the street. He spoke of his insecurities, his life in the trailer park on 8 Mile, and the struggle to be recognized as more than a novelty. He spilled his guts about his abusive mom, promiscuous ex-wife, and love of family. Em gave you exactly who he was, for better or worse, on those first two records and it hit hard. That authenticity. The respect for Hip Hop. The love of Rap. He never tried to be more than who he was and I respected the f*ck out of that. It’s why I loved Big. That’s why I loved Pac. That’s why we loved the rise of those Louisiana boys from Cash Money and the ST. Lunatics. Authenticity. Game recognize game. Struggle sees struggle, even if it looks different. Black Rap accepted Eminem because of how real that cat was, is, and that lack of realness is why we stopped f*cking with Aubrey Drake Graham.

K. Dot has made it his life’s mission to destroy Drake and i am here for all of it. I’ve never liked Wheelchair Jimmy. I’ve always thought he’s corny. Just so goddamn fake. The first record of his I ever heard was Best I Ever Had. It was the softest, most simp sh*t I had ever heard in my life and yet, somehow, that sh*t as hot in the streets? See, by the time that h*t dropped, I was a grown ass man. I had moved passed, matured away from, most of the gangster sh*t. I didn’t care about Lil Wayne or whatever the f*ck was going on in Rap back then. I vibe hard with College Trilogy Kanye and Kid Cudi. Drake was mad Lightskin energy and I couldn’t f*ck with it, so imagine my surprise when Weezy F. Baby decided to sign that goofy ass Degrassi Alum to Young Money. The second Drake record I remember? F*cking Bedrock. That is who Drake was to me. As time went on and more stories came out about dude, there was no way I could respect that Canadian. Ghostwriters, stealing entire albums from his label artists, chasing after girls of questionable age; Drake was gross. He doesn’t have his own sound or identity, just kind of stealing whatever is hot at the time. Mans came in sounding like Lil Wayne. Now, he sounds like Young Thug. What Kendrick say? He’s not a colleague, he’s a colonizer. Which is exactly how I’ve felt since I found out Take Care was a whole ass Weeknd album!

Take Care was supposed to be Abel’s major studio debut but Drake just stole the record, recorded his vocals over the Weeknd’s, and dropped that sh*t. He got beat up by Puff Daddy for doing that same sh*t to him. Kendrick is exposing everything Drake has been accused of over the years, putting it in one place so we can all hear it, and letting us make our own decisions about dude. It’s insane because, that bar about A-Minor, is some sh*t I’ve been screaming about at the top of my lungs for years. He f*cking and a dinner date with a teenage Millie Bobby Brown in Australia, where the age of consent is a soft sixteen years old! How about the time he was on stage and kissed a seventeen year old, on stage, at one of his concerts? After saying, out loud, he could go to jail for doing that exact sh*t? What about that time Billie Eilish openly admitted to having a texting relationship with Mr. Graham, long before she was anywhere near of legal consenting age? K. Dot referenced at least two cats in his inner circle who have a penchant for the little kiddies, one of which is convicted, so why does this creep Drake get a pass? This is more about a rap beef, it’s about the measure of your character. Drake is a mixed race kid, raised by his white mother and grandmother, in upper middle class Toronto. He listened to the same records I did growing up and fell in love with the image of Hip Hop. He wanted that for himself, to be legitimized by the Black culture with which he held a tenuous bond. Rap was his way of being Black but he had nary a one true Back experience. So he faked it. He faked it until he made it. And for the last decade, he’s built this house of cards which afforded him millions, access to real Blackness but never the respect of Blackness, and an open buffet of questionable relationship with questionably aged girls, while absolutely ruining Rap music along the way. Mans is Vanilla Ice Returned. I hate Drake, bro. He’s the phoniest mother*cker to ever make it in Hip Hop and I’m glad Kendrick has decided to knock over that house cards. It’s well overdue.

Wealth hole between millennials spurs a brand new class warfare

Klaus Vedfelt | Digitalvision | Getty PhotosA model of this text first appeared in CNBC's Inside Wealth publication with Robert Frank, a weekly information to the high-net-worth investor and shopper. Join to obtain future editions, straight to your inbox.The wealth hole between wealthy millennials and the remainder of their age group is the biggest of any era, creating a brand new wave of sophistication rigidity and resentment, based on a recent study.Even because the overwhelming majority of millennials wrestle with pupil debt, low-wage service-jobs, unaffordable housing and low financial savings, the millennial elite are surpassing earlier generations. In accordance with the research, the typical millennial has 30% much less wealth on the age of 35 than child boomers did on the identical age. But the highest 10% of millennials have 20% extra wealth than the highest child boomers on the identical age."Millennials are so totally different from each other that it's not notably significant to speak concerning the 'common' Millennial expertise," wrote the research's authors, Rob Gruijters, Zachary Van Winkle and Anette Eva Fasang. "There are some Millennials who're doing extraordinarily nicely—suppose Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman—whereas others are struggling."The research finds that millennials — sometimes outlined as these between the age of 28 and 43 in the present day — have confronted repeated monetary headwinds. Coming of age throughout the monetary disaster, they've decrease ranges of homeownership, bigger money owed outweighing belongings, low-wage and unstable jobs, and decrease charges of dual-income household formation.On the identical time, the authors say the highest 10% of millennials have benefited from better rewards for expert jobs. As they put it, "The returns to high-status work trajectories have elevated, whereas the returns to low-status trajectories have stagnated or declined."The millennials who "went to varsity, discovered graduate stage jobs, and began households comparatively late," ended up with "larger ranges of wealth than Child Boomers with related life trajectories," based on the report.

The nice wealth switch

There could also be one other issue creating a lot wealth amongst millennials: inheritances. In what's referred to as "the good wealth switch," child boomers are anticipated to move down between $70 trillion and $90 trillion in wealth over the following 20 years. A lot of that's anticipated to go to their millennial youngsters. Excessive-net-worth people price $5 million or extra will account for practically half of that complete, based on Cerulli Associates.Wealth administration corporations say a few of that wealth has already beginning trickling all the way down to the following era."The nice wealth switch, which we have all been speaking about for the final 10 years, is underway," stated John Mathews, head of UBS' Private Wealth Management division. "The common age of the world's billionaires is sort of 69 proper now. So this entire transition or wealth handover will begin to speed up."Tensions between millennial courses are more likely to escalate as extra wealth is transferred within the coming years. Wealth shows on social media by millennial "nepo infants" may add to the intra-generational class warfare and drive nonwealthy millennials to overspend or create the looks of lavish life to maintain up.A survey by Wells Fargo discovered that 29% of prosperous millennials (outlined as having belongings of $250,000 to over $1 million of investible belongings) admit they "typically purchase objects they can not afford to impress others." In accordance with the survey, 41% of prosperous millennials admit to funding their life with bank cards or loans, versus 28% of Gen Xers and 6% of child boomers.The battle between wealthy millennials and the remaining may additionally form their attitudes towards wealth. For over 4 many years, the overwhelming majority of millionaires and billionaires created in America have been self-made, principally entrepreneurs. A research by Constancy Investments discovered that 88% of American millionaires are self-made.But inherited wealth may change into extra frequent. A research by UBS discovered that amongst newly minted billionaires final 12 months, heirs who inherited their fortunes racked up extra wealth than self-made billionaires for the primary time in not less than 9 years. And, all of the billionaires below the age of 30 on the most recent Forbes billionaires checklist inherited their wealth, for the primary time in 15 years.

'Excessive' wealth

The surge in wealth amongst millennial heirs can be making a profitable new marketplace for wealth-management corporations, luxurious firms, journey corporations and actual property brokers.Clayton Orrigo, one of many prime luxurious actual property brokers in Manhattan, has constructed a thriving enterprise on moneyed millennials. The founding father of the Hudson Advisory Workforce at Compass has bought over $4 billion in actual property and recurrently brokers offers over $10 million. He says the "overwhelming majority" of his enterprise these days is from patrons of their 20s and 30s with inherited wealth."I simply bought a $16 million condo to somebody of their mid-20s, and the customer accessed the household belief," he stated. "The wealth that's behind these youngsters is excessive."Inherited wealth has change into Orrigo's specialty. He says he works on forging shut relationships with household workplaces, trusts and younger cash elite mingling at New York membership golf equipment like Casa Cipriani.The sample is acquainted: A rich household calls wanting a rental for his or her son or daughter; just a few years later, they need a $5 million or $10 million two-bedroom condominium to purchase in a brand new, high-security constructing downtown."My gig is working very quietly and really discreetly with the wealthiest households on the earth," Orrigo stated.Signal as much as obtain future editions of CNBC's Inside Wealth publication with Robert Frank.

Boesenecker said he spoke with the governor, but that Polis hadn’t offered any alternatives for limiting rent hikes.

The leaders of the House and Senate have also met with Polis on the bill. House Speaker Alec Garnett declined to comment on their conversation, but Garnett said that he supports the rent-stabilization proposal. Senate President Steve Fenberg also supported rent stabilization, a spokesman said.

The rent-stabilization measure would have limited rent increases to 3 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is higher.

The idea of limits on rent increases drew intense opposition from landlords, who said it would prevent them from collecting necessary revenue to make improvements to their properties. But the bill’s sponsors argued that mobile home residents need the protections because they face especially dire situations.

"Imagine how you would feel if the generational wealth … was robbed from you and your family simply because we could not find a solution to this issue," Boesenecker said in a speech on the floor.

Republicans thanked Polis for his opposition, saying that rent limits would have led to unintended side effects. Rent control is "bad economics," warned Rep. Kevin Van Winkle.

Of course the governor is a piece of shit conservative Democrat.
