When you have 12 kids, you can lose a couple to cancer and nobody gives a shit. Especially if one of them has a serial number in place of a name.

Maybe we should chip in for a billboard that says “If you come to Texas, an oak tree might fall on you and then you will never walk again.”

La La Land will print money, but I am a little surprised at their location choice.

We could chip in to get him a service dog. It would be cheaper.

Terry Blacks appeared to be hopping tonight. Maybe a soft open? The building looks cool and I look forward to going.

I’m conflicted. We do need to be investing in nuclear energy, but it also seems like the Trump administration will not be the best time to launch these plans.

I like to watch about 1 hour of TV each night, usually a drama but occasional comedy, and there are tons of good options for that. I maintain Apple+, Netflix, HBO, and Amazon subscriptions, and I randomly activate Hulu or Paramount long enough to binge a specific show. Movies have been in a slump for a while but I’ve still enjoyed some of the 2024 new releases- Dune pt II, Civil War, Hit Man, Fall Guy, Challengers, The Substance, A Quiet Place Day 1, Furiosa. I’d still like to see Gladiator 2 and Anora, so that’s a decent list but not enough to supply me with a new good movie every weekend

This is the correct opinion.

Early indications are that Trump’s America will be a complete reversal of the Me Too years. Certain men can now sexually assault women with impunity and rise to the highest levels of our new MAGA government. RFK Jr, Hegseth, Gaetz, and Trump himself. Well somehow Gaetz was a little too slimy so don’t ever let your loved ones near that guy for sure. America elected a rapist, so here we go. If you’re a woman and you voted for him, wtf. Anthony Weiner and Roy Moore were a little ahead of their time.

I also consider that a Christmas movie because Don Corleone was Christmas shopping when he got shot.

I watched ~3 seasons of Yellowstone before it became too absurd and I had to bail. Just terrible, lazy writing. Awful characters and a meandering plot. I watched 1883 and Mayor of Kingstown and they were better but still sloppy and frustrating to watch. I kind of swore off Taylor Sheridan after that. Is there any reason I should even start Landman or is it more of the same? I don’t care if Ali Larter is still hot because literally every show has hot women and some of them also have good plots. My BIL said Landman is good and now my wife is curious but I don’t trust his TV recs.

Wake me up when a Texas coach posts in this thread.

I don’t know about vile criticism, but these are semi-pro athletes making millions of dollars to play a sport. It comes with the territory, just like it does for practically every pro athlete. I’m not sure why they should be immune to some degree of criticism when they underperform?

I remember when hornfans got sensitive about any criticism of players or coaches.

The greater problem here is that capitalism has run amok. It has created a massive wealth divide in this country that is only getting worse and creates countless problems that disrupt and destabilize society. We can’t even have fair elections because Elon will threaten to primary anyone who threatens his fragile ego. The specific problem here is that capitalism has invaded healthcare. It’s impossible to ethically provide healthcare to the masses when you have a few multi-billion dollar companies who get to decide what degree of care is provided, and those companies are driven by profits and a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders, as well as the greed of their own executives. Brian Thompson and Luigi Mangione are just symptoms of the system America has developed over decades. It’s less surprising that it happened and more surprising that it doesn’t happen more often. I don’t know what the fix is. There probably isn’t one. Maybe these are the problems that eventually reach a tipping point and result in a social uprising. I’m not happy about any murders but I’ll save my tears for school shooting victims and let other people worry about CEOs.

I’m also getting increasingly annoyed with how the greater population of the silo can be influenced and manipulated so easily. Last episode, Bernard gives a shitty speech and at some point the entire crowd flips from hating him to supporting him. This week, everyone is on edge and then Common tells them the people from mechanical murdered Meadows and the mob instantly redirects. It’s like a bunch of elementary children. Or perhaps it’s like a surly game thread that got morphed into part of a TV series.

When Juliette swam underwater to get the firefighter suit, where were those lights coming from? This silo, apart from the vault, appears dead, yet there happens to be a few lights still functioning in locations critical to her mission?

Saban seems legit sad like he might cry. Maybe try not losing to OU by 24-3.

If the CEO of a multibillion dollar company is gunned down and public sentiment is akin to the Jerry Seinfeld “that’s a shame” gif, maybe that multibillion dollar company should consider just how terrible they have been for society. They won’t, but they should.

I suspect we’ll eventually find out the silos are connected. Possibly there is a tunnel network within the vaults, although Solo seems like he had legit not encountered another human in years, but maybe they just left him there to die on his own.

I'm not sure I follow. Are you suggesting that Bernard is the head guy in charge of everything? I am skeptical of that idea simply because Bernard is seen within silo 18 so much that it seems hard to believe he could also have significant involvement in 49 other silos. I was kind of thinking there is an external organization, government, etc. that has built and oversees all 50 silos. Bernard gets information from that entity but he is not the overseer of everything. But I've also forgotten a lot of stuff from season 1 and I don't know what I'm talking about half the time, so maybe you're right.

In season 1, it felt like this show originated from the 70s-80s based on the style of everything and the old school technology we saw. In this season, it feels like there is present day technology, at least the wireless camera in Juliette’s suit and the server room. Those things are far more advanced than the retro desktop computers we’ve seen. Which makes me think the silo was intentionally designed to look older or be more simplified than it actually is. This entire thing seems to be about population control and the majority of inhabitants are being heavily deceived. Bernard was aware of the failures of the other silo but the common man isn’t even aware there are other silos. The question is who is in control and why are they doing it. I think the memory wiping drug plays a bigger role. Perhaps the silo isn’t actually 100+ years old and there never was a revolution all those years ago. Perhaps these are all first generation inhabitants and they just can’t remember the origin.

The SEC chant in Kyle Field was chef’s kiss.
