Pink is a known performer tonight, right? It’s Beyoncé in Person or T Swizz on the big screen.

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.

Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread
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.

2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
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.

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.

The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
- JD Vance Fucked 5 couches as a hillbilly, then went on to kill the pope
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.- Austin FC
And is Giraud playing? Debut him at home. What a shitty draw given what the team just pulled off.- Paris Olympics - Non-Sports Thread
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.- Paris Olympics - Non-Sports Thread
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- Paris Olympics - Non-Sports Thread
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.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
Has he endorsed Kamala yet? That’s not refuting the above but until he does his words are relatively empty.- Hardest scene
Oh, I thought it was most technically difficult. The two super extended tracking shots in Children of Men are my choice.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
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.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

[DELETED SO AS NOT TO FEED THE TROLL. HE KNOWS]- Olympic Swimming
It's insane to me that he got double gold in Fly and Breast, much less on the same day. When I was swimming growing up, I don't think I can recall someone that excelled at a high level in both. I can't remember that ever happening on the world/Olympic level.- Olympic Swimming
Out of form Chinese swimmer comes in and breaks his own world record by a 1/2 second in a slow pool. Color me skeptical.- Austin FC

NEvermind.. France won. Morocco it is.- USMNT Olympic Soccer (U23)
Presuming France doesn't lose by 2 to NZ, we draw Morocco. They aren't anything to sneeze at given last world cup, but prefer them to Argentina, I think.- Austin FC
Watching second half again with my 6 yo who went to bed at halftime. That rabona the Pumas forward did that drew the penalty was pretty slick. - JD Vance Fucked 5 couches as a hillbilly, then went on to kill the pope
