  1. Looch's fat hobbit fingers accidentally posted this in the zoo, here once again they secretly knew Aggie 5* WR recruiting were all a hidden bust. I don't think Sark can compete with feint commits like these. Also "bust" means leaving A&M since Evan Stewart is a valuable piece in Oregon (or was before his season ending injury)
  2. TFA until recently, TFA was widely praised on release but I came out of the theater angry I got sold essentially the same product. Gilroy has made an open case against memberberries, directly telling modern writers that the Star Wars toybox is not something they should abuse, I hope they learn. It was #1 in ratings for the week of release, its complicated because they are tracking minutes watched and they were 3 episodes but not everyone watched them in one sitting either, its definitely complicated but good data still. Again Andor was by far the most torrented show over the past few years, its finale peaked at 110k concurrent, Shows like House of the Dragon was 100k, Severance is at round 75k, even if you keep it to Star Wars Ahsoka was like 30k and Acolyte was 20k and Strange New Worlds 20k https://televisionstats.com/ Very interesting tracking tool. Even with piracy Disney doesn't regret getting the most hotly desired property, had the trends held, they could have gotten away with putting it in ABC. Honestly it was on a fast track to mirror Breaking Bad, it was slow ratings at first, but by the time Last season rolled around it was the biggest thing on TV. To do that in two seasons is impressive.
  3. I disagree, on pure TV like ratings Andor is around the top show this season, you can't compare numbers watched because of ebbs and flows of subscritions, and it is also being put down because it was 3 episodes a night, but Andor was #1 in Nielsen ratings for the finale. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/streaming-ratings-may-12-18-2025-1236263981/ At the end of the day only Disney knows if it was worth it. Then there are piracy numbers
  4. I still don't get it I would demand that they ban all movies if it meant all TV shows were like Andor, not just Star Wars. Of course it is an irrelevant wish, at the end of the day the auteur is the only sure fire way to guarantee quality, money helps of course and Disney will not open up the pocket book for just anyone anymore. But yeah I will sure as hell hope they have quality and writing in mind first and foremost before they tackle new movies, The memberberry era was put down quickly by South Park. Andor buried it.
  5. Too late, I am way past being annoyed by everything, we need to put feets to the fire for people to create great television, and yes pointing to Andor should be the best way to do it.
  6. I am sure there are hints of what Dale thinks of the mask, and what plot he will get.
  7. I did not watch it live but if I had to wait 4 months for the Best of Worlds part 2 and saw... that I would really be pissed.
  8. This is the future buckle up, elections delayed when dear leader is unpopular, elections when he starts a war and spaghetti forgive wins it. Most likely after extreme handouts like during covid. Elections cancelled after he has totalitarian power.
  9. More specifically there was debate in the senate about it including immigrants and yes they clearly said as it was being written that it did include immigrants like point blank. If SCOTUS modifies it in any way it is quite literally a coup.
  10. It does not matter all non residents were part of the EO. "(2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth."
  11. I mean don't you have to join a class action? even if free (considering there is no payout in the end I doubt it) aren't there time frames? so to get relief you have to hope you are not deported before you are able to join a class action? We no longer have rights, those have been replaced as jump through hoops. I can't wait for the interpreations of right to life, you can only sue once you are dead.
  12. And they did not "let the Emperor, a living god, be toppled." this is what is so damn stupid about the Nukes debate, you posit a Japan that would never unconditionally surrender, if nukes were not dropped. But nukes were dropped and they STILL surrendered WITH conditions. Hirohito was allowed to stay. That is as terrible "art of the deal" as I have ever seen, and it is STILL defended without that second thought. Once again the decision had nothing to do with WWII it had everything to do with the Cold War.
  13. I am personally glad that these assholes are not getting the benefit o the doubt, in the old days military action got a rally around the flag effect, but these punks lost in the polls.
  14. Spurrier WISHES he could cause as much terror and fear as big bro causes Aggie. No amount of "Citrus bowl without UT" smack can compare to the generational trauma inflicted on gomers.
  15. There is a level of overrating the Nuclear bomb, maybe it was propaganda to excuse so much money spent (afterall the bomb just HAD to be dropped despite objections by the Manhattan project scientists). A) there weren't that many, only 3 at most for a very long time, and two were used B) Required air superiority because only bombers could deliver them, and you don't want to risk that if there is air patrols. C) lastly kilotons are not megatons as mentioned the potential to kill was way lower That said nukes really became the end of humanity threat during the hottest moment s of the cold war. A) tens of thousands of nukes B) ICBMs that could deliver them anywhere in mere minutes C) Hydrogen bombs in the megaton range. I am guessing this is where the confusion comes from, conflating one with the other.
  16. But then again they did not surrender before the Soviets declared war in between both bombs. At the end of the day historical consensus that everything that happened after the surrender of Germany was less the conclusion of WWII, but the beginning of the Cold War. All of the ramifications The US dropping nukes literally on the day the Soviets promised to enter the war, Japan feeling betrayed by the Soviets, led to them siding with the US 100% after Truman allowed Hirohito to stay. the Soviets invading Manchuria and giving it to Mao as a the springboard to win the Sino civil war The Soviet capture of pyongyang and US landings at Inchon, dividing Korea. All of it was Cold War related. That was the calculus.
  17. If I did not know Trump any better I would think he was playing 4D chess to knee cap Bibi.
  18. https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/
  19. Its funny how you just memory holed the Hillary Clinton election.
  20. Come on man, even in just the Pacific it was clearly Midway.
  21. No, working class people pivoted to MAGA, in 2016 it was white working class, in 2024 it was ALSO hispanic working class. At this current rates the black working class is headed there as well. Worrying about bigger blowouts is irrelevant and inexcusable when we are talking about losing to Orange Hitler. Anybody that went "lets minimize losses" instead of "win or we all die" in 2020/2021 needs to be evicted from the party for incompetence.
  22. NYC mayor is notoriously difficult to break out of, none of them went on to do greater things after it, their most famous mayor, Time magazine's person of the year. turned out to be the biggest loser in all of politics, a fluffer for the the orange idiot. There has to be a pattern somehow that NYC really is the A&M of political careers.
  23. Yeah 40% is the cult but a good 55% is fascist persusasive.
  24. Considering NYC Mayor is where all careers go to die, he ended up elevating his profile and is probably the biggest winner in all of this.
