  1. Colin Firth should get his chance at Bond.
  2. And ironically the fix music is from Andor
  3. A few days ago, I was talking to some parents of one of my kid’s classmates, and mentioned that the apartment complex they are in trends towards older residents. They said once a year or so somebody leaves in a body bag, with the wife joking “yeah it’s full of old people” and all three of us chuckled. And then she says “I bet we’re the only people there under the age of 50”.
  4. I think a lot of that was hitting the three year anniversary earlier this week combined with some changes in aid. That thread is an amazing time capsule for how events played out in Feb/March of 2022. We went from Russias rolling into Ukraine in their BTRs and BMPs in February of 2022 to *checks notes* rolling in on golf carts and using fucking donkeys to move supplies. I got to where I stopped posting that stuff after having posted a lot of it unless it’s entertaining, because it’s way too desensitizing. I thought shitty VHS copies of Faces and Traces of Death was bad as a young lad.
  5. He doesn’t have the guts to fly into space on his own rockets. Meanwhile Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson have both flown on their own spacecraft.
  6. Don’t forget the Silk Road brain trust was pardoned.
  7. He and his brother are on a plane headed to Florida.
  8. Yeah but he loses a drumstick and effortlessly replaces it while still drumming, which will be awesome to see on an IMAX screen.
  9. No, it’s about the 2012 aggie football season.
  10. Or we are truly on the backside of Russian military culmination, and the fuel shortages are hitting, and the vehicle shortages (witness the introduction of donkeys) and manpower are as well. And there's a chance that some Russians were pulled back to deal with Kursk. Putin probably needs Kursk to be clear of Ukrainians if any lines are frozen.
  11. <russian> holy shit comrades, this food just walked 20km straight to us, while carrying our supplies, looks like meat is on the table tonight! <russian> Still can't believe that young me worried about these idiots. Are they even the 2nd best army in Russia? We sure the Norks aren't better?
  12. Interesting. The flu tends to really fuck up the olds. Some of those fuckers were of the "Ivermection is my COVID vaccine" variety, but they'd still get the flu shot. Glad an Ivy League trained lawyer makes vaccine decisions. It'll work out just swell.
  13. I was vaccinated, boosted, whatever, when my first kid was born. My wife was before she even got pregnant. This will probably get taken down by the Bear Cub Killer, but most women wanting to have kids were told to get the MMR vaccine, so that the babies would have a little protection against rubella and measles.

  14. Which means there’s dozens or cases in Rockwell, but I have a solution.
  15. And we pronounced them like “gifts” and not this bullshit like “jiffy” peanut butter.
  16. It’s unfortunate that a kid has died, because that means they are in the finding out phase of things, but hopefully this will be the wake-up call some need. The anti-vaccine morons seem to think this is just the flu with spots, but that whole brain swelling thing can fuck somebody up. While there are plenty of people willing to roll the dice with COVID and their own health, the idea of little kids dying from measles will wake up some of them. Unfortunately it’s too late to shun the Mennonites. That’s a pretty fucking big community out there, and we could easily have a few hundred kids infected - 20% of the kids in that area are not vaccinated.
  17. You’ve probably stumbled across a public sex stall at Bucees and didn’t realize it.
  18. The article won’t say it, but probably made the rounds in the private sex stalls at Buc-ees.
  19. It’s worse than you think, and I might have to watch it Noel's recollection: "The day of the performance, Liam hadn't turned up and there were rumours that he'd been out drinking for a couple of days... and nobody knew where he was." "About an hour before we were due to go on, he turned up absolutely shitfaced. We said, well look, let's see if you can sing a couple of songs, and it was fucking dreadful." So the band - at the very last minute - performed the MTV Unplugged show, with Noel singing his own lyrics. It was an amazing solo performance by Noel, but I wish Liam had arrived reasonably sober to the gig and had participated in a few songs despite claims of a sore throat. Always felt this unplugged show was a moment of anarchy for Oasis. ——- >>> Was there not a story from this that Liam he had a sore throat but he was seen on camera drinking and smoking and heckling Noel from a balcony? Yes, this is correct. Noel makes reference to him a couple of times throughout the broadcast. Late in the show, Liam attempted to come down and sing an encore, but was kept off stage. There's a video about this somewhere on YouTube with clips featuring people from MTV who were working on the preparation and production of the show. —— And Kurt Loder said something to the effect of “Oasis without the lead singer, or Oasis as it always should have been”. That was a fucking magical performance and I’m listening to it right now. And Noel has such a great sense of humor. Before Cast No Shadow, he says “I’d like to carry on with one that I wrote…”. He wrote all of them 🤣🤣🤣 he was basically trolling Liam at that point, probably knowing what an absolutely brilliant performance the band was having. Man… 1996 was a such a great time to be alive. —— The day before the show, MTV taped the full rehearsal. Liam sang all the songs he was supposed to sing. MTV contemplated using that footage mixed in with audience shots from the night Noel sang. In the end, they decided to just use the Noel performance and save money on the editing that would have been needed.
  20. From a purely historical perspective at 35,000 feet looking down, ironically since we are talking about empires, it feels like we risk a diminished role as a superpower (similar to England post-WWII) but the war in Ukraine itself feels like it’s right out of World War I, which saw empires upended (or put them on the path to be upended). I don’t think a lot of people realize how much it resembles WWI at times, but we have a helluva lot of static fronts/trench lines thanks to technical innovations in drones, vs WWI with gas, accurate artillery fire, and machine guns ready to cut down advancing troops. And the wonder weapons here in 2025, drones and extremely accurate artillery, that could clear the way for troops coming out of trenches, is also the weapons that can keep them in trenches. And we are somewhat back to square one with armored suffering heavily at the hands of Javelins and other weapons at the local level. Your typical Russian soldier coming out of their trench or crossing an open field looks something like this
  21. Chris Del Conte ain’t going anywhere, the BMDs are happy with him.
