  1. You know who was an undeserving shitty candidate? This guy: And you voted for him. And defend that vote.
  2. Stream quality is atrocious tonight at my place.

    Popped into Pizzeria Carina tonight to support Eugene, my favorite Ukrainian pizza maker. That shit is so damn good.
  4. I'm not convinced we'll have fair elections for the mid-terms. There's a lot of compelling evidence out there that Elon helped steal the presidency. What's to stop them from doing the same for Congressional elections? If we even have them at all. This is looking more and more like the end game.
  5. SEC Drops Charges Against Chinese Billionaire After He Pumps $30 Million Into Trump’s Crypto Scheme More Trump corruption. Add it to the spreadsheet: https://gizmodo.com/sec-drops-charges-against-chinese-billionaire-after-he-pumps-30-million-into-trumps-crypto-scheme-2000569966
  6. So at absolute worst we are 10 points clear at the top with 10 league matches to play.
  7. Think that’s just clumsily written. Think it means investigators removed those items during their search.
  8. Just watched a 5-minute clip where it seems to have devolved the most. Trump cannot die soon enough. JD is such a fucking toady with him repeatedly telling Zelenskyy that he's not said "thank you" once. Unbelievable.
  9. I wasn't either when it won Best Picture. I enjoyed it then but absolutely love it now. It's a great film and Hackman is such a great bad guy. I think The Royal Tenenbaums is my favorite movie of his. Probably pick Unforgiven, Hoosiers, No Way Out, The French Connection, Crimson Tide, Mississippi Burning, No Way Out The Birdcage and Superman to pick out the next four of my top five. I know it was a small role but he's in one of my favorite all-time movies (Young Frankenstein).

  11. They hadn't been seen in weeks and the bodies were "decomposed." https://deadline.com/2025/02/gene-hackman-death-suspicious-police-1236303855/ “Affiant believes that the circumstances surrounding the death of the two deceased individuals to be suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation because the reporting party found the front door of the residence unsecured and opened, deputies observed a healthy dog running loose on the property, another healthy dog near the deceased female, a deceased dog laying 10-15 feet from the deceased female in a closet of the bathroom, the heater being moved, the pill bottle being opened and pills scattered next to the female, the male decedent being located in a separate room of the residence, and no obvious signs of a gas leak,” the document adds. Two men who worked on Hackman’s property reported the decomposed bodies in the home on Wednesday. The 30-year long married couple had not been seen for a few weeks, sources say. He was in so much great shit. I saw Mississippi Burning for the first time a few years ago. I'll have to think about my favorite Hackman movies. The French Connection absolutely holds up. One of the greatest car chase scenes in cinematic history.
  12. Better fit here
  13. Sachet is fantastic and you’re right about the pita. I’ve had a couple of work lunches there and I get one of their bowls that is outstanding. Need to check out their new concept around the corner from the house — Claremont.
  14. Um, I assume this has been covered. (My apologies — I’ve been at a work conference since Monday.)
  15. So insanely corrupt The Trump Staffers Who Get Paid by Private Clients https://apple.news/Ae3U3HpybRlqAVGRL3EQcPQ
  16. Maybe Grok is further along than we thought.

  18. Absolutely true. However, in going and looking at the election maps for every year back to 1912 my recollection is very rarely did states like North Carolina and Pennsylvania go to the same candidate in the same election more than a few times. Most of those were in routs. That he nailed all seven by just enough votes to not trigger recounts and not get 50% of the popular vote is pretty remarkable. (Almost too remarkable. /wink)
  19. I guess the idea of which states are truly "swing" states can change over time but no candidate has won this collection of seven (Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Wisconsin) in the same election since Reagan whipped Mondale's ass in 1984. (Nixon did it in '72 thrashing of McGovern, FDR in '36 and that's it going back to the 1912 election when all 12 had become states.)
