  1. Did Tate ever get over his knockout from Greta?
  2. lead singer of one hit wonder band, Crazy Town, dead. https://variety.com/2024/music/global/shifty-shellshock-dead-crazy-town-frontman-butterfly-singer-1236047633/ If you ever watched any of the Dr Drew addiction shows, you might be surprised that he was actually still alive.
  3. Today several of my streaming platforms are highlighting that Furiosa can be rented for $25. Movie distribution companies are killing the theater business if they are teaching everyone to wait 4-5 weeks to see the film at home. i would also guess that the $25 cost will drop in the next 4 weeks as well.
  4. From articles that I've read, the DA has not confirmed that she was raped and they're awaiting test results. I imagine if the DA, police and responsible media all declare that she was raped and then tests say otherwise, then the defendant gets to argue even more that they cannot get a fair trial in Houston. Even your tabloid article doesn't confirm that she was raped. Only the headline declares it which is not the story. Why not wait for the facts to emerge before you are outraged.
  5. I thought McCarthy had some good roles in the 80s but turned to bad roles in the 90s. maybe my recollection is wrong but I liked heaven help us with Mary Stuart masterson. Estevez basically went the same route as McCarthy but his films were more successful. Weekend at Bernie’s or mighty ducks can destroy your career if you also don’t create more critical praised films. if I understand right McCarthy has done well as a tv director in the last decades. Maybe that doesn’t buy you Iron Man’s Malibu mansion but not exactly a failure.
  6. Galveston subthread Tragic story of a LA teen drowning in Galveston this week. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/trending/article/galveston-drowning-death-boy-19529883.php 5th drowning since Memorial Day. One month ago. Death trap down there
  7. I still find it unlikely that America will become the fascist state that some want, but the percent chance has grown significantly over the last 10 years. Think about how the GOP previously revered Reagan. The extreme right has now pulled the gop from that path which would have seemed impossible in the 80s and 90s. It’s an internet troupe to compare anything to hitler but he went from a prisoner of an attempted coup to German chancellor (effectively prime minister) in a decade. I’m sure that when he was convicted, the average German would have said it was ridiculous to imagine what would soon be reality. my fear is that the seeds have already set and it will only take a younger version of trump to set it off.
  8. I don’t see how Richmond rail would have killed Afton oaks. I understand that neighborhoods don’t want it but saying it would kill a neighborhood is a stretch. Besides afton oaks is already bordered by 610, Hwy 59, westheimer and a freight rail line. It’s not like it’s Mayberry. If anything rail would push vehicle traffic away from Richmond. I avoid light rail streets.
  9. Not only do they not realize that the stock market is at all time highs right now, they think it’s down over Biden’s administration.
  10. I wouldn’t have guessed that was her husband.
  11. I've been told that arguments can occur at strip clubs at 2:15am when the credit card bill is presented.
  12. Besides just being an overall ugly message, I never get the whole, “America. Love it or leave it” attitude. It also makes zero sense even when considering their “make America great again” motto. Because apparently they don’t love American today so why aren’t they leaving? in reality, we know what they mean which is that we should accept their view of America or leave.
  13. When it's family, emotions and past history almost always get involved. Someone will think they're getting screwed, even if they can't come up with a counter offer. If family relations want to be kept, I could see it best if everyone sells. Then if anyone still wants to own land, go do it on your own in a separate transaction. Of course you have some who get sentimental about land that paw-paw's father bought in the 1920s and their desire is to leave it to the next generation. IMO, land is just land.
  14. When someone takes the stance that news is fake, it's not worth even attempting to talk to them. It's impossible to reason with them, and the only option remaining is to make fun of them. I don't think we're far from GOP leaders talking about flat earth and fake moon landings. Perhaps not that they fully agree with that opinion but they have to accept it's their constituency.
  15. Glad they caught this guy but reminder to never talk to the police if you're detained for a crime. Of course 6 beers @ 10% ABV isn't exactly the time when you're at your best.
  16. I'm far from a scholar on the topic but I gather that basically each group of people living at that time had their own god(s). Walk three hills over and they have a different religion and gods. Somehow the god of Israel became the popular one and the other faiths died out or were assimilated.
  17. I would drop 10k extra for that at my reception.
  18. I don’t care if i had $20m in the bank, there’s no way i would drop 200k on a wedding especially my own. You could cut 75% of that budget and still have the exact same good time with friends and family. spending that is only about showing off. I guarantee every wedding guest is quietly asking each other to estimate the cost.
  19. The debate could matter for Biden if he struggles or freezes in a method that would be broadly interpreted as dementia related. But he just a few months ago gave a good state of the union speech so I’m not worried. and if he really cannot deliver a decent debate, then perhaps Dems should look elsewhere while there is time to pivot.
  20. Yes, ChatGPT can translate from an image. I can’t speak to its accuracy but the same issue could exist with a person translating as well.
  21. You don't find many fat 94 year olds. The fact that he's walking and going into stores is a win.
  22. I believe there is normally a range of topics that are agreed upon. Like economy, values, education or foreign affairs. Of course that doesnt' prevent a candidate from veering off to say whatever they want especially with Trump.
  23. Biden should show up regardless. I'm on the fence on whether I think Trump will show. I could see the GOP making up rumors about Biden knowing the question in advance to offset a scenario where Biden does very well. They will say, "I'm not saying that Biden got the questions in advance but plenty of other people are saying it."
