  1. I was in one of the buildings y’all drove past, watching the filming. So I kind of was in it.
  2. You or your mugshot in the parts documenting the celebrations?
  3. When the rest fuck around and come down with preventable shit that wipes them or their families out, they might learn, while we foot the bill.
  4. I know you’re joking, but for those who don’t know Jade Helm was about us putting special operations troops into Syria. Which we did. We even figured it out on the old site - the places they would be driving around or between mapped out perfectly distance wise to Iraq/Syria, and it was the same units that deployed to Syria.
  5. I was until I found out you don't get a SAG card/benefits for being in straight-to-video pornos.
  6. So they are going back to splitting the company up again. Lot of people getting paid a shitload of money to make really bad decisions and then try to fix the decisions they made. Most of WBD Debt to Go With TV Networks Company Earlier on Monday, June 9, Warner Bros. Discovery announced a split that most of the industry saw coming. There will be two independently-operated, publicly-traded companies: Streaming & Studios and Global Networks. Those will be renamed at some point (and probably “Warner Bros.” and “Discovery” — again). It is a very similar move to what NBCUniversal recently did to form Versant. Disney has also toyed with the idea. Wiedenfels, currently the WBD chief financial officer and Zaslav’s longterm right-hand man, expects his coming company, Global Networks, to “continue to see strong cash generation.” Though cable TV is dying, it still generates cash flow — especially CNN, which heads out with Wiedenfels. Both Wiedenfels and Zaslav will continue in their present roles at WBD until the separation, which is expected to close in mid-2026. Zaslav’s Streaming & Studios company will consist of Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, DC Studios, HBO and HBO Max, as well as their legendary film and television libraries. The second business, Global Networks, will include entertainment, sports and news television brands around the world as CNN, TNT Sports in the U.S., and Discovery, free-to-air channels across Europe, and digital products such as the profitable Discovery+ streaming service and Bleacher Report (B/R). In other words, Zaslav gets the cool, creative stuff; Streaming & Studios has all of the prestige and most of the future. Wiedenfels will be in charge of much of what presently makes reliable money, but he also inherits all of the downside based on industry trends. And oh yeah, most of that debt. “Three years ago, the very foundation of how, when, and where audiences engaged with content was undergoing fundamental change,” Zaslav wrote in a memo to staff, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, in reference to the 2022 combination of WarnerMedia and Discovery. “As both organizations contemplated their futures, one truth became clear: to successfully adapt, transform, and lead in the entertainment industry of tomorrow, we needed to come together — to draw on each other’s strengths.”
  7. So @Schulz2.0 that first target is the area circled in red on this map, with Ukraine's boarder on the left in red. Moscow is the poop drawing or whatever somebody drew. Wonder why they aren't hitting Moscow - the drones in the video were big enough to go the distance and not be launched from trucks or rail cars (and they didn't look too stealthy). My only guess is that Moscow probably has 50% (or more) of all Russian air defense hardware circling it. They are hitting targets that degrade Russian military infrastructure, and unless Moscow/Putin gives up some of those air defense systems, they have a lot of fairly unguarded targets to choose from. Still want to see the Kremlin in flames.
  8. Knowing the Russians, and how they store equipment, they are probably too cheap to have hangar space for everything anyways (not that we do, but we at least maintain our stuff and we do it well). Russians may start parking their hangar queens out in the open to soak up drones and keeping the good stuff inside.
  9. I wonder how much engineering effort is wasted on his whims that go nowhere.
  10. I didn't know the Rolling Stones were still touring.
  11. Jon Stewart raked him over the coals. If you don't like The Daily Show, don't watch since it has some stuff on Trump, but the first 12 minutes are solid Elon-bashing. Jon Stewart on Elon Musk's Black-Eyed Exit The Daily Show
  12. Yeah and then we fired Charlie Strong.
  13. There are large sections of the Bible that need to have this treatment. Live-blogging various events in the style of a 2020s YouTuber is...perfection.
  14. For some reason I got a weather alert that woke me up. Forcefield might get tested in an hour.
  15. She starts in Club de Cuervos on Netflix. She's 47, so she's in my wheelhouse.
  16. So anybody in the know or understand why the City of Austin so readily agreed to the Tesla robotaxi even though everybody has a lot of questions about it? I've read up on it, but it just seemed way too easy. I can see it being a case of them approving it, because if they don't, the state will step in, but still. Maybe they believed that it would take years before actually happening. I actually think he's probably hyper-focused on this right now, because if this fucks up, just a week ahead of the National Transportation Safety Board's June 19th deadline for Tesla, Trump will go hard at it and make sure everybody knows, the stock market will not like it, and the permits will be revoked (and not even the state would step in)
  17. If you had to choose, who would you side with more between the following? | Daily Question Musk does not come out well with Republicans and Independents. I think Musk knows that.
  18. And it's a great way to find fresh meat for the front lines - somebody fucking around with stolen stuff or caught bribing or being bribed is headed to Ukraine. The bigger picture - it will ramp the paranoia up to 11, because now they've had drones in cargo trucks, in train cars, and the FSB have to be flipping out over what's next - drones hidden in a warehouse near or in Moscow maybe?
  19. I like a Trek series that's not afraid to be optimistic with a crew that doesn't hate each other. also, continue to be on Team Una.
  20. This is me with a lot of Netflix shows - it'll pop up in the past viewed/watch it again whatever part of the screen, and I'm like "I watched that?"
