  1. Yeah but RT has no NBA experience and if RT has any NBA connections I'd imagine they're much weaker.
  2. Izzo, Pop, Carlisle. Those are good coaching trees. He's never had the talent and resources Texas could offer.
  3. What about Pacers assistant Jim Boylen? Too old? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Boylen
  4. Candance Owens and Megyn Kelly are covering this because it's great for views. This has been the strategy for a lot of content creators, not just right wing grifters. The fact they are siding with Baldoni probably has more to do with adapting their content to align with public opinion. Like being a Yankees fan, wanting to back a winner, and to use that popularity as a gateway to a new audience to whom they can spread their hate. We'll see how much of the evidence makes its way to the public, but so far Baldoni has been the clear winner in the "battle of receipts." The initial wave of anti-Lively stories and sentiment was undoubtedly the work of his PR team but what we're seeing today is mostly organic support. Lively's camp has been unable to beat the "mean girl" and "bully" allegations. Of course, her being a mean girl and being a bully are not an excuse or justification for subjecting her to SH or SA, so she can still win this if she proves she was harassed or abused. Unfortunately for her in the court of public opinion she has lost a ton of credibility, and the whole thing about being wed at a plantation and her general reputation for being manipulative has worked against her in a big way. Nobody will just take her word that any of these horrible things happened to her. She really needs these other employees to back up her version of events. Doesn't look good for her so far.
  5. are they priorities for transplants though?
  6. He made the mistake of attending a frat party while untoward things were happening. The only thing I took issue with was you claiming an article had a bombshell revelation when, in fact, it did not.
  7. The guy who repped Oprah was Chip Something from Texas. Yeah, I am going to say he didn't admit liability because the article is pretty damn clear on that. He fought it for years in fact until 1991 The article you posted links to this article: https://www.businessinsider.com/bryan-freedman-hollywood-lawyer-sexual-assault-lawsuit-college-2022-11 I don't know how much he was making at that time, but I do know he had probably spent a lot in those years until he reached a "fuck it " point.
  8. The sarcasm was lost on me, I guess. I will say this, Baldoni clearly hired the right guy for the job
  9. where does the article say that?
  10. Hope he's doing well and fully recovers. And it was a touchdown.
  11. I guess I'm not following the logic of this Levy guy. He said Baldoni was but now Levy clarifies that it was just an "argumentative move" made by the lawyers. okay fine but what is the "tell" here? The lawyers are pretty adamantly denying that any sexual harassment happened, so the "tell" can't be that the "argumentative move" is his admission of guilt. Levy was trying to say that Baldoni or his lawyers are out-of-touch with how sexual harassment works, maybe? Anyway it seems they are currently in a fight about the subpoena
  12. I wonder how many of his IVF penpals are black, brown, or Asian
  13. THR is all in on this story https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/dana-carvey-lorne-michaels-intrigued-lively-baldoni-legal-battle-1236143357/
  14. For me it's more about how all the polls we followed religiously (thanks @Js1) and the lack of 2016- and 2020-level enthusiasm based on yard signs and rallies in empty rodeo arenas were forecasting that you'd much rather have been in Kamala's position than Trump's. How Anne Selzer was getting D+3 in Iowa. How there was no sign of the Dobbs effect slowing down. With all of that in mind, it's hard to see how seven coinflips in a row would all come up tails. I think that's the point they're making about the swing states. While I haven't read too many of the pollster-focused post mortems I really doubt that after 2016 any pollster was under-overcorrecting for MAGA. I think it's worth looking into, but we have more urgent battles to fight right now.
  15. The first whiff of it I saw came from some youtube drama. One of the MeidasTouch contributors Jennifer Denson ended up leaving the company because they wouldn't let her cover these theories.
  16. https://newrepublic.com/article/166725/thomas-bivens-boule-egbert-decision
  17. This is high up on Thomas's kill list. He wants total immunity for the stasi
  18. Fox's post game interview impressed me, and he's been impressing me the whole time since he got here actually. He says, and I believe him when he said, the team is trying to get a W every night they play. In a stacked conference that might not be enough to make the play-in, but maybe it will be. As long as the Hawks are in the lottery I'm happy.
  19. I'm pretty consistent about shitting on Trump and Elon, and calling a party that's been asleep at the wheel a lifestyle brand is far from my "hottest anger." I will disagree on the kowtowing to oligarchs. Both parties are guilty of that.
  20. It's only a false move if you think they're playing chess with you. Project 2025 is a playbook for authoritarianism, which is taking us somewhere from which no amount of viral clapbacks and voter outreach can return us. The enemy is not making a mistake because they no longer will be accountable to the voters.
  21. He's weird and I hate him too (even more than I hate Stephen A Smith) but he's not wrong in his assessment of the party as a lifestyle brand.
  22. Celebrities. They're just like us!
  23. I think someone sufficiently motivated and with sufficient support could probably find a way.
  24. If they're unwilling to meet the moment, they should be replaced. These excuses completely undermine everything they tried to say at the DNC about how they're the opposite of Trump. Opposition parties are not supposed to play patty cake with the fucking fascists. Give them zero cooperation. And by the way, the institutions are dead.
