Formula 1 2025
Yeah that happens so often at the end of races that I really think that's someone in his ear coaching him to manufacture drama where there really is none. And yeah (as is often the case) it was pretty clear that Lando was gaining on Oscar because he was pushing and Oscar was cruising and managing the gap. IMHO had he gotten close enough, Oscar would have just stepped it up a tad.

Yeah Nico's awesome for just not gaf and asking the questions everyone else wants to hear asked. Being a WDC with lifetime Paddock access probably helps in that regard. He's not worried about losing access. He's very quick on his feet and is able to subtly twist the knife or get straight to the meat of the subect when everyone else is dancing around it. He also brings a lot of good insights as a former driver that some of the other ex-drivers don't seem to want to talk about imho. Also, love Ant, Paul (too bad he's gone), & Bernie for just bringing fantastic technical and/or driving insights. Jenson's too nice to say anything remotely controversial about any of the drivers, and Martin is good if you can get past his sometimes blatant biases. Jacques is actually pretty good too, like a crazy French Canadian asshole version of Nico. Crofty is like that big, goofy yellow lab that runs all over the yard not knowing much but not really needing to know that much (as far I'm concerned). And maybe even that's being too harsh on him imho. He knows a fair amount, but imho probably tosses silly theories and speculation into the discussion just so they get discussed & often dismissed - not necessarily because he actually believes them. He's good at being the guy that holds everything together, imho (which is much more difficult than it looks), and for me, that's all he needs to be. He's there to tie all the experts together, not to be an expert. That Harry Benjamin (?) guy seems to be being groomed for that spot, and he's pretty decent too imho. Karun is utterly freaking useless and hopelessly annoying, other than being a decent F1 historian. For analytical or current info purposes, he's a big, long-winded bowl of shit. IMHO Ted is great in the Paddock and pitlane, bringing a lot of good info from there in a usually entertaining way. Simon, Nat, & Naomi are good at the fluffy stuff & the three or more driver features/interviews per race weekend (2 with Lewis + 1 other Brit), so I'll allow them to stay. Karun and Crazy Danica can hit the bricks. /csb Other than the obvious and probably understandable Brit bias in the Sky coverage, I'm good with it - although it does seem to be getting more and more dumbed down lately a la the old NBC coverage. Gonna be interesting to see what we get if Apple gets (got?) US rights tho.

Formula 1 2025
It all still goes back to the cars being too fucking big and too fucking heavy, both of which are directly contradictory to the DNA of F1. Terrible on a tight street course, terrible in slow corners, and terrible in the rain/wet. And specifically today, the damage to the 'show' was even further exacerbated by not starting the race sooner. All around just a huge waste of a potentially great Sunday at Spa. Dry all weekend and then wet on Sunday - esp at Spa - used to typically be a great recipe. But nah. Let's take this great thing and fuck it all up.

I hope it's at least a little wet. Looks like Aston is banking on rain & gambled with a wet setup for Qualifying.

Trump’s war on windmills started in Scotland. Now he’s taking it global https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/24/trump-clean-energy-war-global

Just flat called him out as a liar right there. I love it.

Ghislaine "Sgt. Schultz" Maxwell: "I know NOTH-ING"
Yeah that makes sense. It was just weird, they also had him say "aboot" at one point, instead of "about".
-
Ghislaine "Sgt. Schultz" Maxwell: "I know NOTH-ING"
Any theories as to why they made Trump Canadian in this South Park episode?

Surprised this wasn't posted already. Look at the writing on the wall. Fucking epic. "Jeff was here", "Donny loves you", "Liberal tears" ... Not the best quality. Couldn't get a screen grab so I had to use my phone. Also, why did they make Trump Canadian?
-
Ghislaine "Sgt. Schultz" Maxwell: "I know NOTH-ING"
Yeah I said before that Johnson was making a huge mistake by sending everyone home in the hope that it would reduce pressure lol.

Ghislaine "Sgt. Schultz" Maxwell: "I know NOTH-ING"
All these talk shows, news shows, newspapers, etc etc should take Colbert, Stewart, and South Park's lead and return what the Trump admin has done to us. Flood the motherfucking zone.

Ghislaine "Sgt. Schultz" Maxwell: "I know NOTH-ING"
Yep. The shift is pretty got damned distinct. In case anyone needs a refresher, here's a pretty decent timeline of Trump & Epstein's relationship. Trump hung with Epstein from at least 1985 to at least 2004 and flew in his plane at least 7 times. Here’s Every Known Link Between Trump And Epstein: ‘Little Black Book’, Plane Rides And Trump’s 1993 Wedding https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2025/07/23/heres-every-known-link-between-trump-and-epstein-little-black-book-plane-rides-and-trumps-1993-wedding/ ... and Trump didn't kick Epstein out of his club until 2007, so that adds more fuzziness about whether they actually stopped associating in 2004.

Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
Yeah nobody on the field seemed to be upset. Just the announcer, who was also probably just reacting to the tracker. At worst imho, it was a very close pitch. Too close to take wtih 2 strikes.
-
Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
Yeah I initially reacted to the dot, too & thought we got the benefit of a really bad call. Then I went back & watched a couple more times & it also looked to me like the tracker was off to the outside while the ball looked like it caught the corner. First time I've ever noticed that happening.

Ghislaine "Sgt. Schultz" Maxwell: "I know NOTH-ING"
Wow. Watch the video, & watch Higgins lie through his teeth about the vote count. Higgins (drunk-sounding Louisiana drawl): "In the opinion of the chair the No has it". All: Laughter. Garcia: "Recorded vote, sir." Roll call count: 8 AYEs, 2 NOs. What a piece of shit.

Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
IDK, but it didn't seem to matter on the previous two hitters. And even if they're playing bunt, a decentbunt still moves the runners over.
-
Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
Yeah and if you bunt him there, it's 5-3 now.
-
Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
I'll take it. Clutch hitting is always nice. Should be 5-3 tho.
-
Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
Wow, not bunting Caratini there makes less than zero sense.

Ghislaine "Sgt. Schultz" Maxwell: "I know NOTH-ING"
Paywall. Anyone have access?
-
Ghislaine "Sgt. Schultz" Maxwell: "I know NOTH-ING"
Yeah, exactly. Doesn't seem like a great option for them. Sure, that won't fuel this furor at all. Bold strategy, Cotton.
