  2. So you know where to throw your rotten eggs.
  3. This team is still disjointed. They have flashes of putting it together, but then just can't.
  4. So Zuck paid $23 million (cash) for a place 10 minutes from the White House. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/04/02/mark-zuckerberg-washington-dc-home-trump-real-estate-00267270 I mentioned the EU thing yesterday, but he was likely lobbying more for this: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/technology/mark-zuckerberg-trump-meta-antitrust.html?unlocked_article_code=1.804.SAer.5xYTEdjj4L1R&smid=url-share Facebook has an antitrust suit going to trial in 2 weeks. Will his money and influence get him anything?
  5. Next year it would be helpful to change VAR to look at last touched decisions. They could be quick and fix a lot of mistakes like that.
  6. To be fair, I thought he let a lot of physical play go in this game. And that's fine, but that was an easy call once it went to the monitor.
  7. VAR giveth, VAR taketh away.
  8. How is he still looking at this? It was clearly a foul. And honestly Sarr is lucky to not get a red.
  9. I was just about to say the ref is letting a lot of physical play go. He let that kick in the box go and now this. ... Maybe. Yikes that could be a red card. IMHO.
  10. Before the tariffs you mean, right?
  11. HOLY SHIT!!!!!
  12. Goal or no goal, I still hate Chelsea.
  13. Fuck I hate Chelsea.
  14. how about we get that goal back in the next 15 mintues?
  15. I thought he said if he had a million dollars he would do two chicks at the same time.
  16. Weather an early Chelsea rush, get a goal in the second 10 minutes.
  17. Handbags!
  18. GAME ON BOYS!!!
  19. I am shocked, SHOCKED to see that at least ONE the guys that got a $1 million check from Elon wasn't really a rando but in fact someone that was an operative.
  20. https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/03/business/elon-musk-tesla-sales-nightcap/index.html This article notes that Tesla was rebounding because there is news that Musk is going to be out of the DOGE. "Then came a Politico report quoting MAGA insiders who say that Musk has overstayed his welcome in Washington." "... the administration confirmed that Musk is expected to wrap up his stint as Trump’s hatchet man in late May or June, when his 130 days as a β€œspecial government employee” comes to an end. That was enough to reverse a 6% decline in Tesla shares β€” a sign investors are optimistic that Musk will ditch the cheese-hat shenanigans and focus on his company’s rapidly shrinking market share (and maybe, possibly, deliver on his long-delayed promises to revolutionize autonomous driving.)" Their last paragraph is solid Bottom line: Money can buy a lot of things, but not all things. And with Tesla’s continued sales drop, Musk is getting a harsh reminder that he’s not the only one who can wield a pocketbook to send a message.
  21. Let's not forget that Tesla does not operate standard dealerships - these are not 3rd party franchises, but they are just Tesla stores.

    Comic Books

    So all thes follow-ups got me reminiscing I collected early 80s to mid-late 90s. My big collection was X-Men. I had an uninterrupted run of Uncanny from somewhere in the 140s (I think 146) to well around 325. I also had a solid run of New Mutant, X-Factor, X-Force, etc. Some great stuff. I have something like 8 copies of that X-Men #1. I originally collected G.I.Joe, wiht a pretty solid run of those (but I never got Issue 2 with Quinn). Larry Hama was the man (cameo in an episode of MASH). I was never a Spider-man guy, but what killed me was that I did have Amazing 300 - first Venom (on panel). Kills me that I sold it for $40 a few years later (to buy a few other books). Don't get me started on that regret. I got to meet/serve drinks to Frank Miller when he came into my bar during the filming of Sin City. I've been meaning to go back and really make a run into all of my books and see their value. Just on age alone, a lot of the X-men have some value. But I know I have some good ones in there too (my oldest Uncanny is 100).

    Not Tales. Tails, it was 1984. And it was the first appearance of Spider-Ham. Total throwaway buy for me and I’m shocked I never really threw it away, but now that the Spider-verse films came out, it has some value.
  25. BTW - Zuck is about to see if what he paid for is worth a damn https://www.theverge.com/news/640368/mark-zuckerberg-meta-eu-fine-trump The gist of the article is that the EU has found Facebook and Instagram’s advertising model violates their Digital Markets Act (DMA). Under the DMA and Digital Services Act (DSA), the EU can financially penalize Meta up to ten percent of its annual revenue β€” $16 billion based on the company’s 2024 earnings β€” for failing to comply with regulatory requirements. Basically this is Zuck trying to get Trump to put pressure on the EU (via tarrifs or other) to get the fines reduced or removed. Splendor?
