I think the season ends with Prez elect siding with the Swede, the Swede brushing off Shiv, and the Board telling the kids to fuck off, implying: (1) Ken ends with a completely broken family and unable to grasp his birthright just when he finally realized how to be a reasonable cosplay of his father; (2) Shiv ends with no business propositions and a marriage destined to fail (though probably off screen in the future), doomed to repeat the maternal failings of her own mother; and (3) Roman ends as a broken shell of a little man. In other words, obscenely wealthy but fundamentally broken people, the perfect metaphor for a late-stage capitalist society that Jesse Armstrong wants to drive home to the viewership.

This series seriously fucks

Woah, had no idea Johnny Sack was the son of Schembechler.

It seems to be totally fucking random. I applied like 7 months ago and it just said pending with no other details. Then my wife applied and got approved immediately. Then my application got approved within a week. We’ve traveled to the exact same places. Fortunately they seem to give everyone a free pass while they deal with the backlog (which is further proof that this is all just a scam to extract money from us to skip the line).

I think Tatum is going through his LeBron 2009-2011 playoff years. Obviously not as great of a player as LeBron, but similar in that some of the deference and attitude in the playoffs doesn't align to the talent. Still, if you set the over/under on .5 championships over the next 10 years with Tatum as the best player, I’m taking the over without thinking twice. Which is why I would love for him to leave Boston some day.

Absolutely horrendous foul call there.

Great source material. Great director. Great actors. Great budget. Let’s fucking go Marty

Nobody tanks like the Spurs. Incredible.

AMC+ is one of the best subscription services out there. In addition to ad free AMC content, you get Shudder, Sundance and IFC content. I probably use it more than any other service.

Didn’t score a single point in the 4th quarters of Games 5-7. “Not uniquely bad in the playoffs” - WuLaw

I’ve long thought we were headed towards Kendall Roy King of Ashes, but wondering if instead they have Roman force Ken out with the murder card. Nobody really wins is the only sure bet at this point.

This GS team (outside Curry) has been looking to fold, and I think tonight might be it. Whether it was the punch or just guys getting older in general, this team ain’t it. I don’t think Curry can go God-mode in 3 straight games.

Yeah I think I come out here after watching the replay several times. Ishbia seemed like he caught the ball and was immediately looking at the suns player on the ground when Jokic lumbered over. Obviously he flopped and seems like a douche in general, but I put more blame on Jokic for the incident. But glad there was no suspension

Really happy I forgot to hit “submit reply” on my “PHX and Philly are toast” post from earlier today.

Welcome back. We missed you after James Harden’s uniquely terrible games 2 and 3.

Bullshit. He fouls on most plays and just counts on the refs to not foul him out of every game. Watch a basketball game.

Wiggins has turned into such a nice player. I realize that isn’t the goal of a number one pick, but he’s so valuable to this team (stating the obvious). Draymond is a shit head and yes I get everyone hates him for good reason, but he still might be the best defensive player in the league when the lights are on.

Davis is such a chameleon. Tim Duncan one night, Andre Drummond the next.

Really terrible, terrible thing. Having lived in Manhattan a decade, I can attest that it's not a fun situation to be in when an obviously mentally ill person becomes violent near you or towards you and you have a split second to react. It's exceedingly rare of course (and I recognize it's cat nip for the Daily Texas crowd), but I recently had a guy sprint towards my wife and kid while we were eating dinner outside. I just jumped in between them and he kind of bounced off me and ran off in another direction, but I'm not sure what would have happened had he been more persistent. And you can't call the cops of course because they would just shoot him at first flinch. So I guess what I'm saying is I'd like to know more about what transpired leading up to the video before crucifying or absolving the choker (the fact that multiple people were holding the guy down at least implies to me that he was being pretty threatening), but that video is tough to watch and it does seem like with it being three against one he could have at least released the chokehold before killing the poor guy (and that is making the big assumption that the chokehold was warranted in the first place). All of that said, I would encourage all of you to ignore every fucking sentence that comes out of the Hochul and Adams camps regardless of which side they come down on. Totally spineless cement heads.

Or fraternity bros on dirty 6th in 2007.

I hope we get 7 awesome games, but if AD stays healthy and engaged (huge if), I think the Lakers can probably take this in 6. The match up is tough, and the Ws are an older team coming off an exhausting series against the Kings. Either way, the Nuggets are definitely coming out of the West.

The Suns ain’t it this year. Maybe next if they upgrade supporting cast in the off-season.

Truly incredible stat.
