god damn do i feel sorry for anyone who, like me, let apple tv just rollover start "the gorge" after finishing an episode of severance without knowing what it was or watching a preview. that is the dumbest piece of shit i can remember in quite some time and i turned it off after about 30 seconds of them being in the gorge. prime target is such cliche'd, trashy shit. how creative, an attractive but reclusive math genius obsessed with primes who is incapable of expressing himself in any functional way and an NSA hacker chick that wears way too big of clothes and is broody about a painful past - while evilcorp turns on them. all with unix screens in which a few keystrokes allow you to take over a train's camera system or find a charter for a truck in 3.2 seconds. just stupid and awful and stupid again. i can't believe that sidse babett knudsen and stephen rea let themselves be associated with something so ridiculously bad. viserys targarian turning up acting a like a super tough twink barking orders around the nsa was the most entertaining part of this steaming pile of shit. bad efforts. less the gorge/prime target and more severance.

i am genuinely embarrassed to admit to having not thought of this implication.

my favorite part is this: yeah.

so the guy in charge of doge - the wealthiest man in the world whose wealth is largely predicated on his equity value in tesla - is rooting out corruption and waste by accepting a $400 million order from the united states state department to purchase armored cars from...tesla? the single largest line item in the 2025 state dept. procurement budget. https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/FY25-Procurement-Forecast.xlsx that should go well.

that looks like it took some effort. i suppose that is a relatively healthy and productive way to channel your overwhelming frustration and anger. if only curtis jones was so mature in coping with and managing his emotions.

trophies are transitory. acting like complete bitches and starting a hissy fit fight because you gave up a late goal while your fans throw debris at players while guests is more a statement of long-term values and character.

at least you guys were able to salvage a draw this time unlike the last match...everton hasn't lost to liverpool since 2023.
-
in a shocking twist, liverpool supporters dissatisfied with game refs. next up, is there a "systemic officiating bias against arsenal?" with esteemed guest, derka.
-
possibly the most inverse everton outcome ever there in the derby.

The coup thread. Fuck the traitors to the Constitution.
sidis replied to Willfully Horn's topic in Cloak Room
what about the fact that the business as a going concern itself was actually hypothetical? since the plaintiff had never actually undertaken any web design for any actual wedding sites at the time of the lawsuit, how is the controversy "a credible threat" to anything but a made up scenario in someone's head? the plaintiff absolutely relied on a "phantom" business and a "phantom" customer. also, when you say: and that it is still predicated on a hypothetical...which is the pedantic point i was making. -

not to be needlessly pedantic but that's not true as proven in the 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis matter. it just depends on how badly they want to rule and if alito and thomas want to implement their vision for the country, they will take on cases with completely made up facts and a appellant with no standing. -
i have a lot of thoughts on this as the son of a public school teacher and a private school principal, along with the husband to an public school elementary school reading specialist for kids with learning disabilities or dyslexia. i am not going to do a "Surly Hijack™®" on the Trump's America thread with a full exploration, i'll just quickly note that while there is obviously nothing objectionable about your post in concept, it ignores both the reality of what primary education's mission capabilities are in terms of arming as wide a swath of children as possible with fundamental building blocks to begin the process of critical thinking (arithmetic, fundamental science concepts, reading, etc...), as well as the unfortunate reality of what would happen if one attempted to impose the school of athens on the wider population of children and not self-segregated smaller communities of predisposed children that have both the contextual privilege (economically, family) and the innate desire to be exceptionally driven. it is, of course, what we all want and strive for but it betrays a lack of experience in both sides of the primary education machinations to believe that the reason "the system" is not ideal has nothing to do with being forced to integrate accommodation for an extreme breadth of circumstances in the human condition including the fact that not all students are exceptional and some students are there and the school is simply trying to ensure their literal survival...and everything in between. the system has evolved to what it is as a reflection of the human condition because we made a decision as a society some time back that all kids need to be educated...not just the ones that are privileged enough to be economically positioned to or that are elevated thinkers. it is easy to run the school of athens when your pupils are plato, aristotle, thomas aquinas, kant, copernicus, galileo, hume, newton, tesla, lao tzu, and descartes. the system (and unfortunately the outcomes) is going to be impacted by having to also deal with the broader spectrum. (hence the disingenuous nature of the state's voucher bullshit/welfare for the upper middle class) i don't share any hostility towards your thoughts here and i don't disagree that we have unfortunate consequences of having to force a more normally distributed system on a non-normally distributed population in primary education but it is a bit fantastical to espouse these idealized learning proposals without acknowledging the vast array of realities that undermine their effectuation and prospect of broader success. and of course, none of that is to say anything about the hostility towards public education and the lack of valuing teachers altogether in a way that inspires more exceptional people to take that path. imagine being a high quality teacher in oklahoma and the superintendent of schools shoots a dumbass phone video in his car in which he ties the new orleans terrorist attack to you.

i am not generally one for eugenics or ethnic cleansing or anything like that but if we could slip some sort of reproductive blockers into all the coors lights and white claws for all of those shows, i feel like we could achieve some sort of smaller scale antithesis of the prologue scene of "idiocracy."

a worthwhile clarification. my post should have said the a.g. called him out for attempting to spend $6 million on trump bibles but not actually using the appropriated $250k for inhalers the legislature directed.

walters is your run of the mill maga dipshit but his dipshittery was actually impacting the school system in oklahoma. he wanted bible verses on the wall of every classroom and he was withholding school security funds and shit like inhalers for the schools that were congressionally directed. he got investigated by the state a.g. and a bunch of congressional committees raked his ass for. the a.g. even called him out for spending $6 million on trump bibles but not actually using the appropriated $250k for inhalers that the legislature directed. https://kfor.com/news/local/drummond-sends-walters-scathing-letter-criticizing-year-long-delay-in-supplying-schools-life-saving-inhalers/ here's some more: https://www.campussafetymagazine.com/news/oklahoma-ag-orders-state-superintendent-to-release-school-security-funds/160955/ https://www.okappleseed.org/ryan-walters-gross-misconduct it is a classic case of these highly charged maga dipshits being placed in roles they have absolutely no business being associated with and incompetently executing not their duties. he also made a video after the new orleans terror attack on 1/1 saying that public teachers were partially to blame for the attack. he's a lunatic. anastasis with the defense of strides made in public education was not on my bingo card this morning. bozo casanova having fucking terrible aesthetic taste in yet another medium (e.g. utter trash tv for simps by taylor sheridan) to go along with everything else he has terrible taste in certainly was. it's obviously a mixed bag on changes in education and that is predictably dependent on community. perhaps you should reevaluate your hostility to westlake. my older kid is in middle school in eanes and we just registered her classes for next year and the options were utterly astounding to me relative to my options in east texas in the mid to late 90's. she is 12 and doing robotics, programming web design, and an engineering and philosophy class. at my high school it was auto tech, woodshop, and ag (also valuable in their own ways obviously) and in middle school, it was p.e. and...nothing. she will take calculus her sophomore year and my high school did not even offer calculus at any grade. that said, eanes, like every other district on the fucking planet, cannot escape the inevitability of having shit-for-brains coaches teaching social studies and history classes which is frustrating. perhaps a contributor to our current predicaments.

and if you talk to every mother fucker who actually did it (including the best of the best) if they want to go back to that and abandon digital, not one of them will give you a truthful yes. the people that romanticize it today are the ones that were not in the room cutting and piecing it together at 3am.

"had." this is pam bondi's doj now. an outright green light for musk and theil to start engaging in behavior that is so corrupt and anti-competitive that it would make sub-saharan warlords blush. incredible...at the same time as dismantling any domestic consumer protection from predatory behavior. right to our faces.

it didn't hurt that it featured a bunch of incredibly skilled musicians at the top of their games performing pretty high quality music. but yes, it was certainly a production accomplishment. but to say that there are not albums in which the production and post-production are not of the same quality is silly. i would recommend the immersive "in-side" mix version of i/o by peter gabriel from last year (which you will need binaural headphones to actually experience), dark matter by pearl jam, the dune 2 soundtrack by hz, bob clearmountain's work on the immersive release of roxy music's avalon as just a couple of examples.
