  1. That's the one-line response. If you see that on your feed, and you feel like chiming in, just say that.

    Yeah... I saw this when the schedules came out. It's ridiculous. I get the leagues don't coordinate on anything, but can't McConaughey make a call or two? The season finale is same night as UGa and Formula 1 Saturday night concert. Just dumb. And WTF with that starting lineup on Saturday? Let's take our most talented player with the ball and put him in a position where he won't ever touch it given you've taken him out of the attacking midfield and he's the only player that could serve it up to himself. That was ridiculous. Perhaps they are experimenting how to optimize Bukari, but that wasn't it.
  3. Holy fuck that was stressful.
  4. I can't see Rick Scott losing. As much as he and DeSantis hate each other, they'll work together to ensure they get the vote out because DeSantis can't afford to have Florida lose a statewide race, including othering DMP as an immigrant. And in any event, I don't think Rick Scott has ever lost. Only shot is if the Dade voters that love Trump vote for DMP given her background.
  5. So we aren't going to talk about RFK Jr hearing about a beached whale, driving the fam 5 hours down to the beach in the minivan, chainsawing off the head, strapping it to the top of the minivan, and driving home while his family wore plastic bags on their heads to keep the whale juice off them? I mean this is fucking wild. RFK Jr drove a minivan.
  6. It’s pretty clearly Beyoncé. That said I am not sure how much of a surprise that is as someone mentioned upthread.
  7. Hopkins dressed as Lector endorsing... Kamala? Eating Mike Pence? Mike Pence dressed as Hannibal Lector?
  8. Pink is a known performer tonight, right? It’s Beyoncé in Person or T Swizz on the big screen.
  9. Whatever. Clearly there were plants. I still laughed. I remember seeing Stephen Lynch in Austin then again in Chicago and thought it odd some dude heckled at same song and got the same response. Still enjoyed the shows.
  10. The theory is that pitchers know they have to make it to 6 and won't rely on velocity as much (which is ostensibly why there are more injuries), meaning the above, theoretically. I think it's dumb, and I doubt people change the way the pitch.
  11. Mace used to be one of the semi reasonable ones (eg during the certification). I feel like she hired a publicist or something and realizes that there is money in them there hills (pun kinda intended) and has now gone all in.
  12. Watching this new Matt Rife special. I’d never heard of the dude. 100% crowd work special which could be awful but I was dying.

  14. This. I just presumed when he ran for Senate and they said he was a "venture capitalist" that he must have been a partner at one of the name SV funds or something. He was a super junior guy at Mithril Capital (Thiel) which has had lots of issues, then Revolution (Steve Case). He is probably a reasonably good salesman in the VC conference rooms to convince them to hire him, then seed his crappy Cincinatti VC. But TL/DR, he is a former venture capitalist in the same way a junior associate that leaves Wachtell or JP Morgan after a couple of years was a big time M&A lawyer or investment banker. I also think he is ultimately an escaped incel. So good for him, I guess, that he found his way out. But he strikes me as a guy who was a couple of bad decisions/strokes of bad luck from being a 4chan troll and digital currency "expert" working from a 1 BD apt in northern Kentucky.

    And is Giraud playing? Debut him at home. What a shitty draw given what the team just pulled off.
  16. Yeah, if you want to say Comaneci was the most important women's gymnast I wouldn't argue. But her "reign" was like 4 years, and I'm not sure she won anything other than 1976. Perhaps she got robbed of the all around in 1980 given it was in Moscow, but she wasn't the best performer on her team in 1979 world championships when they won the gold. The fact that these women are competing into their mid to late 20s now and doing things the teenagers in the 70s, 80s, and 90s wouldn't dream of says a lot about both the competition that Biles has to face vs. what was basically USSR or Romania back then, and their overall talent. So most important, sure. But Biles longevity, results vs. her peers, and sheer amount of competition are *objectively* well beyond what Korbut or Comaneci accomplished.
  17. Because she got a 10 in 1976 on a routine that wouldn’t get close to that now? Please. Simone has won more, more often, against more countries that are performing at a high level than Nadia ever did. It’s not close. It’s like saying Bob Cousy was better than Jordan
  18. Anyone that doesn’t think SB is the greatest ever is a fucking idiot. It’s fucking objectively true. She got the twisties 3 years ago. As someone that competed in gymnastics from ages 8-15, that’s a real thing. It doesn’t reduce her accomplishments. Historically relative to all past competitors she has dominated Olympics and world championships in a way that hasn’t even been approached. And she is 27 which is insane. Fucking. DT, man. Jesus.
  19. Has he endorsed Kamala yet? That’s not refuting the above but until he does his words are relatively empty.
  20. Oh, I thought it was most technically difficult. The two super extended tracking shots in Children of Men are my choice.
  21. Agree. I was fairly surprised that Kamala said she'd just sign the bill, but happy both that she will and how she communicated it (shitting on Trump in the process). And at the end of the day, if she gets the house and senate she wants, she can still add more to it to make the left happy.
  22. "perhaps, some would say, better"
