i stand corrected. i have come into the living room for a nap and heard the da say she is sure that he pulled the trigger and he's culpable as both producer and actor

i ain't no law dog, but i heard someone on cnn say as i was passing through the living room that the charge was the cost of the title of executive producer. if he was just an actor handed a gun, culpability is pretty low. but when you are in charge of the production, then the buck has to stop somewhere.

this story really is incredible. i mean, you couldn't make up a story about a person who spent years lying about themselves in public, grotesquely trying to grift in any way possible by lying about the stupidest things, like, oh, being in emergency management or making a lingerie football team, who has done questionable sexual stuff online including cosplay, webcams, posting supposed private messages between her and a very public local figure, then posting nudes of herself after soliciting advice on whether or not to get boob implants, and then got elected to a very public office? i mean, that would be some crazy bullshit, right?

we've all known people like this. i used to know a guy who would play poker. pretty good player, took risks, won pretty big at times. but he always lost it all in the end. because he didn't sit down to win. he sat down to lose. that's what elon is. he's a loser. he needs to lose. there's something about him that is just a loser crying out for help that no one will give him because he'll never accept it. also, he's on drugs.

we used to talk so much shit about louisiana and crossing that state line back in the day. i shit you not, it's still bad, but it used to be smooth sailing until pothole fucking city on the louisiana side of the bridge. now the roles are somewhat, if not completely, reversed. it's fucking maddening.

i'm sure that makes billy feel better about telling him to get him shinebox. (but i do take your ultimate point, i just don't get it in most contexts. you can be correct and an asshole and still dead.)

this one is always a headscratcher to me. people use the shinebox all the fucking time like it's a case closed. "go get your fucking shinebox!" - it's a way of telling someone they are out of their fucking depth, right? my problem with that is that billy batts ends up beaten mostly to death in the trunk of the car after telling tommy how it was. yeah, he was made, and yeah, they shouldn't have done it, but my point is that telling someone to get their fucking shinebox, in the origin story of the fucking saying, the guy who says it ends up beaten, then stabbed, then buried, then exhumed, then buried again.

i'm a total sucker for and love award shows, but i missed the golden globes last night after telling myself and my wife over the weekend that we should totally watch them. she rolled her eyes, but she gets it. then i forgot all about it. not sure what that says about the relevancy of awards shows, but i guess it ain't good. i'm all caught up on twitter thanks to this thread.

holy balls this is amazing if i wasn't averse to having elon fucking musk's face on my wall, i could easily see this as art in my home.

that's great it starts with an earthquake birds and snakes and airplanes

i actually loved the world cup stoppage time focus. it gets too bush league toward the end, but i guess that can be fart of the tension and fun. i am a soccer fan and there's shit that drives me around the bend with the sport. stoppage time being one. a big one for me is respect for the ref. there is none. it's our job as fans to disrespect the ref. it's the captain's job to argue with the ref. all it would take is once or twice for a ref to do a yellow bonanza and the ref riots would stop. kicking the ball away from an opponent makes me laugh but it's such a terrible look. but allowing players to fucking scuff the spot is beyond the pale. that's bush league shit. i also used to be team running clock, but i'm not any longer. similar for basketball. i hate when the game completely (not subtly shitfs tactically, but fundamentally) changes at the end. basketball is barely the same fucking sport in a close game down the stretch. intentional fouls should still be called intentional, no?

what do you think it means? hint: grift. that's it.

jesus christ, satan has me today, i've run out of empathy: go fuck all yall this is some disgusting and reprehensible shit

it's really kind of sad when one sits down to think about it. the utter personal debasement it took to grift what she was grifting had to be pretty hard on the soul.

hybrid fiber-coaxial, imo

lulz, stole my idea with tay-tay. so i was just thinking about this the other day, about how i'm getting a little tired of the "guy who alone can solve all the problems besetting his family and will stop at nothing to accomplish...something." he believes that he alone can solve all the problems, and he's our protagonist who is going to break all the rules to solve those problems. we know he's the protagonist because the show is named after him or his gang. he's going to break all the fucking rules because winning is the most important thing in his world. because for him, it's win or die. he's got an addict sibling/spouse, and because of this he tends to distance himself from those to whom he should be closest. but also, he has an underlying sense of unrealized empathy that keeps the audience at arm's length but close enough to want him to do the right thing because you want him to be pg013, but he doesn't do the right thing because he's the rated fucking r antihero and fuck you that's why. just like everyone else in his orbit, right when he lets you closer emotionally, he lets you down again by doing some heinous shit. it's all the shows now, and it's driving me a little fucking crazy.

there is a bigger game afoot. i don't have time to connect the dots for myself but this is part of local school board races, book bannings, curriculum fuckery and the like. it's the religious right trying to careen us towards hamdmaid tale areas of shithousery.

as a big fan of bougie food and cooking shows and fine dining, i fucking loved this movie. @Bozo_Casanova needs to watch this strictly for the bread dish, which might be his favorite. spoilers follow:

i guess that's what i meant. it would of course be notable in brazil and south america at large. probably pretty big news throughout the rest of the world. i dunno, maybe i'm peevish, because this hits a little close to home now. we used to be able to pretend we were above post election insurrection. that's something that happened "over there," as in brazil or wherever. i cannot really figure out if bolsonaro is brazil's trump or trump is our bolsonaro, but i fear bolsonaro is the real deal whereas trump is a gypsy grifter.

depressing how this would barely be notable in brazil if it hadn't happened here. i mean no offense to our local brazilians. but i mean, we sacked our own capitol, fuck's sake

i once saw a two drunk english guys in greenwich nearly get into a fist fight in the middle of sunday afternoon. one uad his two year old daughter on his shoulders. sunday afternoon pub time in england is something.

this is the last gasp of boomer white people. problem is the last gasp is taking 40 fucking years

well it was awkward but in a dumb funny way because those two are married.

yep
