  1. Merry Christmas, everyone.
  2. One of the major disconnects within American society is the belief that this a fight within the political party system. To MAGA, if you are against Trump, then you're a Biden lover, or an AOC stan, or simply a hardcore Democrat. The two party system completely promoted and instilled widespread binary thinking in this country.
  3. It's fascinating to see all these posts on Twitter over the last few months. Trying to diagnose intent, they either a)truly believe this stuff is groundbreaking and the future of creative content or B)they're rage baiting for engagement. Either way, IMO it's accelerated people's intolerance and disgust for this type application, and overall hurt the "AI" movement in general. Which warms the cockles.
  4. Second viewing was just as great as the first. Totally holds up. I absolutely love Sean Penn's performance. I'm glad they made the choice to dial the character up to 15. The reality is people who think like Lockjaw do exist, and by supercharging the absurdity of his values and morals, it removes your urge to feel any empathy for him . These people are monsters. They are laughably grotesque. His fate in the final act was perfection.
  5. Again, Bari Weiss is a stupid fucking cunt. Investigative journalism is not about fairness. 60 Minutes reached out to Trump administration officials, and they chose not to substantively comment on the piece. It is NOT the media's job to say, "Are sure you don't want to comment? This piece will come off bad for you unless you give us more from your side. We're trying to be fair here.". No one is buying what you're selling, Bari. Fuck off.
  6. You are correct that bourbon was already fucked (Private Equity being the main culprit, IMO), but the tariffs absolutely hurt as well. It's ok to assign blame on multiple things and not downplay any of Trump's idiotic policies.
  7. It's on the players. They get too comfortable and lose focus/intensity. Still some flashes of immaturity with our younger guys, they need to lock in.
  8. The media microscope? Everything she does moving forward at CBS News will be closely monitored and reported on. If she continues down this path, CBS News ratings will go in the shitter and so will Weiss's career. I'll take any win at this point.
  9. Out of curiosity I put Fox News in the background at 12pm. Here are the lead stories: - Positive Trump Economy Update - Long segment on Tim Walz/Minnesota Fraud Claims - quick mention of Black Congresswoman who was arrested outside of NJ ICE facility returning to building to speak out - Long segment on Nick Reiner's mental health and insanity plea - - EPSTEIN DOCS RELEASE - fake Epstein passport, link to Royal family, that Trump flew on Epstein's plane 8 times, DOJ stating claims are unfounded and false, no mention of Nassar letter - whole thing maybe lasted 2 minutes - Seinfeld and Festivus!
  10. Interesting. Lots of political accounts have posted about the Epstein letter since last night, but this story hadn't really gone viral. But a pop culture account tweeted about it this morning, and the engagement absolutely explodes. Finally.
  11. Fascinating that we have a pdf from the DOJ's website of this Epstein letter to Nassar, which was confirmed to have existed by Rolling Stone in a 2023 article (but letter hadn't been opened yet per reporting), and the contents of which are absolutely explosive and pointed directly at Trump...yet everyone is treading lightly about it. In a previous world, this alleged piece of evidence would be a global story and all anyone talks about. Trump getting away with everything and the constant misinformation we are fed has completed altered our reality.
  12. Here is the rest of the short thread:
  13. Chef's kiss that Bari Weiss spiking this segment actually brought it so much attention. And now she's put herself under the microscope moving forward as well.
  14. DOJ spent 30 days trying to create the messiest and biggest fuck you release possible with the Epstein Files. So much so that real reporters are tweeting out misinformation as they dig to find anything worthwhile. What a mockery of justice.
  15. I don't fucking know. Epstein killing himself? Everyone assumes its a fake. Apparently the video has been around, but for some reason it's in the DOJ files. EDIT: Apparently it's a 3D rendering some YouTuber created 5 years ago.
  16. The ridiculousness knows no bounds.
  17. sorry wrong thread
  18. Feel like this clip is a perfect microcosm for what's going on in the world. Connie Chung ringing the alarm bells, while her POS husband Maury Povich tries to downplay and normalize it. This interview was almost 3 weeks ago.
  19. Good read, thanks for sharing. What a grift.
  20. Goddamn, this scene hits even harder now.
  21. - I agree with Mitch that Shepard got exposed defensively last night. I still think he can improve, but right now it's a liability. He needs to continue to get stronger and more physical. - Jabari has reached his ceiling. He can make big shots, but totally overrated as a defender and he's just a little too stiff athletically. His contract is fine, having him out there is fine, but expectations should be tempered. - Since Houston is considered a real contender this year and with the addition of Durant, we're gonna get opponents best shot every night. Don't think they've adapted well to that yet. Last year we were able to sneak up on the league a little bit and took advantage of it in the W/L column. - The individual pieces are there, still looking for best lineups and defining roles to maximize potential. I think Ime will figure it out.
