    Love this show and burned through 2.5 seasons in like a week (easy enough given the 6 eps). Going to have to pace myself the rest of the way. The matching of wits between Darth Taverner and Lamb is fantastic.

    Edit to Add I fucked it up. B*P < L B < P * L The classic Coase Learned Hand economic theorem of fault. Where the burden (cost) of protective measures is less than the probability of an accident happening multiplied by the liability or cost of the accident, the fault lies with the party that failed to take the protective measures. My memory for shit 30+ years old is slipping.

    As my uncle, am Arkansas native, told me, hillbillies drive slowly because the ridges in the accelerator pedal cut into their foot. More accurately, though, so many of the roads and highways have pines right up to the shoulder so that the frequent curves are mostly blind. It makes even a native Texan slow down substantially

    I'm so glad we haven't busted out the tank top with separate sleeves look. That's so silly.

    But one is maggot-ridden dog diarrhea with corn in it. The other isn't.

    Many or most of those post-accident, less-supernatural books are pretty good, really.

    It was a lawyer named Chelsea Davis. She accused a number of prominent IP lawyers and litigation finance people of groping her and passing her around at various Dallas bars and venues. She was pretty floridly bipolar and maybe schizophrenic. Her activities got the attention of the bar, who suspended her indefinitely for mental unfitness. She committed suicide months or a year or two later. https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/a-dallas-lawyer-claims-her-boss-forced-her-into-sex-slavery-thinks-navy-seals-are-watching-her-7126872 https://www.txboda.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/DAvis54202 Order Indef Disability Suspension.pdf https://www.turrentinejacksonmorrow.com/obituaries/chelsea-lynn-davis She was crazy as a shithouse rat but RIP nonetheless.

    Well, Trump's main moneymaker for years has been licensing his name to various things, ala Kardashians. Licensing is a win/win for the licensor, usually, because if the licensee takes off, mo money, mo money, mo money. If the licensee fails, no financial loss to licensor, just the hit to credibility/good will. The Trump brand has seemed impervious to the latter; it's 100% ill will.

    "I hate Taylor Swift" is a blistering takedown? Okely dokely do.

    Well, except for a couple of things. All the people she implicated are still around and as powerful as ever. She's disbarred and dead.

    I'm re-reading the Lot for the third or fourth time. I think you're right. But one thing I notice that I hadn't before is that he has a lot of lengthy description of the landscape ala the natural realism of Thomas Hardy or some such. Possibly some literary pretension there that he later dispensed with. I have often wondered if 'Salem's Lot is something of a play on Salem, as in witchcraft trials, and lot, as in one's lot in life, so that the place (Salem) is cursed with an unfortunate "lot."

    Falling and rolling-blocks are just so cool.

    Given that Bond may be one of the honkiest honkies that ever honked, it's kind of cool that a young black kid would do this. Maybe there's hope for us after all.

    This fucking goatroper born in Cleveland and sheriff two counties away from Lake Erie.

    Continuing from above, why does it bother you that a character should be white or black? Or hispanic, or Asian? Do you consider that a material change from the source material? If so, why? And, no one "lost their mind" and certainly not the whole board. You came in with a hot take invoking the current right-wing shibboleth of "DEI." You got four negs for it, and several calm replies questioning your use of the term. Maybe you people that invoke right-wing boogeymen like DEI or CRT should question why you do that, and what exactly is wrong with it?

    Let's break this down. The show is produced by private parties, not governmental entities. Their job tends to be to make shows that people will watch and advertisers will buy on. Some people will like changing the race of the characters, some won't, most won't care. Did King ever specify that Mark Petrie was white? Pretty arguably, all of television and movies is pandering. Why do you choose to get worked up about a "race change" in a TV show? What about the other plot departures? Why does it matter? Does it threaten you?

    Well, when all that labor involved gets barely subsistence wages and no workplace or environmental protections, that's the way it go.

    You can't really get an accurate second shot, with recoil any faster with a semi-auto. Nonetheless: Common Soviet sniper rifle, based on AK-47 action.

    I have to remind myself that we can't coast through the B12 while growing the players and chemistry. And keep a high seed. Tbh though after about 10 years of fanaticism and wondering if JE would ever turn the corner, I kinda blew my load the last couple of years. Refractory period. I also think we have too damn many transfers.

    Wenaas too. Although I am thinking her final four performance was more an aberration.

    Fucking Chris Rufo offering bounties for proof of cat eating in Springfield. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jd-vance-cats-grill-chicken-ohio-b2612999.html The bounty beliefs the story, ab initio. And, if there wasn't enough information to prove that Rufo is a disinfo peddler, this should do it.

    You fucking guy.

    I suppose rather than 25thing him, he could resign and let Vance implement New Gilead.

    Honestly thought she had bigger jewbs.
