According to The Washington Post, the toilet could have been housed in the White House after the Guggenheim Museum offered it to President Donald Trump and Melania Trump. The couple requested a painting by Vincent Van Gogh, but were told that the painting they wanted, "Landscape With Snow" was "prohibited from travel except for the rarest occasions."

P.S. definitely not the best scene in the movie. Movie is ace though.

https://www.thestar.com//amp/news/gta/2019/09/19/landlord-who-bought-1-per-cent-stake-in-a-house-withdraws-eviction-notice-then-promptly-issues-a-new-one.html
Quote
Devon McKenzie had less than a minute to enjoy life free from the threat of eviction.

She had gone to the Landlord and Tenant Board on Wednesday to fight a personal-use eviction issued by her new landlord, a first-time homebuyer who had taken on the title after purchasing just one per cent of the house where she rents.

The landlord withdrew the application, only to moments later issue a new one — effectively beginning the months-long ordeal over again.

McKenzie was three steps from the hearing room door when the property manager, on behalf of the landlord, handed her the new N12 eviction forms.

“Are you f---ing kidding me,” responded McKenzie. She later told the Star she has no choice but to fight to stay in her home. “It still comes down to I can’t afford to live anywhere else.”

It’s a case she and her lawyer say showcases a potential abuse of legal process — first in using the sliver of ownership to issue a personal-use eviction in a city where a lack of affordable rental units and no limit on what can be charged for empty apartments serve as incentives for landlords to push tenants out; and now, using the option to withdraw the application to avoid a full hearing and a decision that might not be in the landlord’s favour.

A transfer document from the Land Registry Office dated June 18 shows that a couple who own the home transferred a one per cent interest to 20-year-old Jacky Bai Jun Liu, worth $9,000.

Soon after the sale, Liu sent notices informing seven tenants in two units that he would be pursuing his right as a landlord to evict them so he could move in.
Totally legitimate transfer.

Of course they do.

I almost didn’t want to pick up my OG iPad on day one when I heard about that.  But wanted to play with it and cringed my way out the store to applause.

Gizmondo has a recap and honestly the eccentricities are rather tame, either jokes or classic billionaire delusions. The most offensive thing is instituting that 20% of the workforce should be fired yearly.

I think the article is pretty spot on. Barely anyone comment on watches, even at work. It happens (including from my boss and I actually might have more expensive watches than him) but it never had an explicit "real" impact but there's definitely identifiable patterns in the brands I see on my coworkers wrists. Lack of commentary is not lack of making an impression (like the rest of your wardrobe) though it won't get in any sort of those intricacies unless with another watch amateur. Obviously I don't navigate in the same professional avenues than those of the articles, where dressing code is more of a thing, but the general remarks sound accurate to me.

It's kind of a silly contrarian pavlovian opinion, but I would look down a bit on any salesman with a Rolex in a professional setting unless it's really an understated / appropriate model. Victim of its own success (no slight at the build quality and finesse of the pieces themselves) but it screams mediocrity and lack of imagination.

SoftBank is trying to dump them because the street realized this company is trash,  and they are hoping putting someone more conventional in front of it will save their investment... sort of like when Uber dumped their founder (note Uber is also worth effectively $0 in the long term imo)
