  1. AKA "PNC shut down the account because they had no wish to be a party to fraud and other illegal activities such as money laundering, etc. but were too polite to say that explicitly."
  2. The curriculum also rejects evolution I believe.
  3. IIRC, their cases began climbing in late 2021 to 2022 (don't know how much the Olympics played a part in that). Speculating, but perhaps some folks were opting to use family planning due to the uncertainties?
  4. If you have time, would you mind elaborating? Perhaps behind a spoiler for those who prefer not to see too much discussion, but I've been listening to comments about it good and bad and it being very polarizing (that was the term used in an article) with folks either loving it or hating it. I kinda remember some similar reactions when Chazelle's La La Land premiered so I'm curious about your take beyond the it is a pile of shit. Spoilered here for some additional commentary:
  5. Guess it’s a good thing Elon has all those “buckle-bros” at his rodeo in Austin then. They can all just get together and “giga”. Win-win. NTTAWWT
  6. If he is as addicted to opioids as they've said, I believe it can cause a certain myopia/tunnel vision and he had way too many loose ends with which to deal once he started down that path. I also believe that the family had so much sway for so long that they got the benefit of the doubt--the 'he's from a good family' trope that many lower socioeconomic defendants do not receive--the 'he's trailer trash/no good family' trope. I don't buy the phantom shooter line of thought at all. Vanishes w/o a trace? No. This is a chicken coming home to roost.
  7. I want to comment, but I can't stop laughing.
  8. I wish that Stephen Smith's death in 2015 had been investigated thoroughly and dispassionately because it sure seemed like something weird went on there. I mean, calling the family the next day to offer your services for free? Other inconsistencies....
  9. Resembles John Goodman, too. We're talking about unchecked aggression here, Dude!
  10. IMO, Lil Nas did it better at the VMAs. Would've had the former president in a slightly longer curlier version myself. Obama has a strong jaw and could carry that look well.
  11. Look at the dates. Inauguration was January 20, 2009. He was a victim, I tell you, a victim. Seriously though, while unis do seem to make an effort with retention, etc some students just don't graduate and for many reasons.
  12. I guess Twitter is having more issues and some long time account holders are being greeted with a Welcome to Twitter page. Of course, they then take that and run with it:
  13. Ted is such a lying liar. Newsmax term with Direct ended and Newsmax wanted to change the contract and Direct declined. Not censorship. Newsmax is free to seek an alternative arrangement or stream (which I think they do already).
  14. Update. Saw Empire of Light. Agree with those of you regarding pace but overall liked it and the cast. Which brings me to the other movie I happened to watch recently, also with Olivia Colman and a solid cast; *The Father. Wow. That was pretty heavy but quite good. *I'm not sure how I missed it especially with the awards it garnered but what with Covid dominating our lives for the last few years, our attention has been elsewhere.
  15. I would like to state for the record that my impression of Elon was one of being cuckolded by David Lindhagen (Crazy Stupid Love). I would like to strike that and change my latest impression to Baron Bomburst from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I should not be surprised that there are 179 pages devoted to a wealthy man child but here we are.
  16. Georgia grad huh? S-E-C S-E-C Also, I noticed on her fentanyl tweet that she used an apostrophe in error. Must be that Trump grammar.
  17. Even if they were hard up for dollars, Elon was chatting up Rupert at the Super Bowl and either telling Rupert he knew just how to fix all this, or he was passing along the number to get in touch with Saudi investors. I mean, I'm kidding but once we allowed news stations, even ones that are no longer fit to be titled as news, to have foreign ownership, it does open up opportunities in all sorts of ways.
  18. That was fairly close to what I was seeing on RW forums.
  19. The bot is being confused because you're using the University of Texas instead of The University of Oklahoma. I suspect were one to mention pathogens and OU, there would be richer source material for the chatbot to utilize relating to gain of function. Especially if you bring @Brisketexan's addition of penises into the conversation. And maybe the name Stoops.
  20. Do you mean because it is the same style 3 times? Isn't what they wear a combo of host choice and along with a dresser consultation? I admit I don't know how that all works. The looser blouse has been trending for awhile though: (I used the less basic examples and more fashion-y ones) That's Valentino above. Here's two more: Ryan Gosling, back when he did his monologue (after La La Land came out) wore a sweater with a jacket and it was perfectly Ryan Gosling. (He's worn other stuff, but that one just fits his personality to a T). I love it when men wear the traditional button down dresswear, but I also love it when they are unafraid to try clothes that push boundaries. Both are great and if you feel great wearing it, then go for it.
  21. If it is actually a chatbot, then it did a piss poor job of convincing us that it loves us more than even our spouses or significant others. I mean the little 'love y'all' is weak compared to the way Sydney the AI talked to that married reporter in that news story.
  22. Here is more about Rasmussen from my post in the Elon thread. The tie to David Duke and the phrase is through the editor of Rasmussen Reports, Fran Coombs. Here is a little more about Mr. Coombs and his spouse. I'll go with her first as she writes prolifically. She has been published in The Practical Homeschool Journal, The American Conservative, VDare, etc. Here is one of her published quotes from 2001 on the American Renaissance website: She has a blog, but I haven't gone there. Now on to her husband, Fran. Fran is aligned with the academic and embedded white supremacists in various media and other organizations as well as politicians such as David Duke mentioned above. It would take quite a bit of time to go into the specifics, but even as one connects the dots with his various relationships with known supremacists, he tries to keep a lower profile than he used to. Getting tabbed to lead Rasmussen Reports is, in some ways, an achievement as it shows how much the tentacles reach in places one might not have thought. The Archibald in this quote is George Archibald, four time Pulitzer prize nominee and is referring back to the time when Coombs was still editor at the WT:
  23. Given that elected officials have healthcare on the taxpayer dime, I'd rather get more mileage and impact instead of a repetitive motion injury. Perhaps a run-in with a toppling plate rack or a treadmill that projectile vaults runners into said plate rack or something.
  24. I should add, that The Sunshine Project had to suspend its operations in 2008 due to a lack of funding. Their focus was on biological warfare and military biotechnology. Here is a wiki blurb about them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunshine_Project
