I for one welcome our new AI overlords
I feel like there is a rhyme with right wing ideology and being very pro-AI. A complete lack of concern or thought for larger society or our children's future. They want what selfishly serves their personal interests, everything else be damned.

2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Agreed, and I bet the Rockets FO feels the same way. Injuries have derailed Tari's ascent, it's the only big question mark. If he has a great and injury-free rest of year, I hope Rockets do everything to sign him, including moving Jabari if necessary.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Shit In One Hand, Hope In the Other, Tell Us Which One Fills Up Faster
Feels like this particular period of time (portal announcements then two week period of portal opening) is like the biggest mad dash of the year for coaching staffs. I'm assuming analysts help break down as much film as possible on these possible transfers? Then you're doing whatever research regarding a player's character and mental evals? Christ, what a shitshow. In Texas's position, I'd think you want to avoid the crazy bidding wars for big name guys unless you're VERY confident they will assimilate and succeed immediately on the field. Some programs are more desperate than others to get obvious blue chips and throw out huge $$$. The chaotic variable of what schools are willing to spend on individual players and overall team budgets makes this hard to follow or take that seriously. Like, how do you get mad at Sark/Texas losing out on a guy when we are so in the dark with the details and inner workings? At least with regular recruiting there is time to develop relationships and players eventually pare down their choices. Portal is complete chaos.

Avatar movies are a great example of the death of monoculture (most likely due to internet/iPhone/social media booms). They are massive financial successes and loved by tens of millions , but many people are also completely oblivious to them. You couldn't avoid the Titanic popularity even if you tried.

Shane Gillis
Apparently this is difficult for you. I"m sorry that a little criticism of Shane Gillis has triggered you, to the point that you have to put words into my mouth and make up some big bad thoughts in your head. Your clear idolization of Gillis is your prerogative, and I've noticed he's got a lot of white knighters like yourself online. It's weird, like y'all are bro Swfities or something. Again, all I said was he conveniently straddles the political line to absorb as many fans as possible. I find it annoying and insincere. Meaning I don't think he's a right winger, but he always finds a way to provide them enough nuggets to keep their support and fandom. I just searched his name on Twitter and this popped up. This is from the "Official Fan Account for Nick Fuentes" according to Twitter bio with over 200k followers. You're right that Rogan is doing all the Fuentes glazing here, but Shane brought his name up, later called him "funny as fuck" and just sat there while Rogan droned on taking Fuentes seriously. Shane Gillis is very popular and well liked. The Right likes to clip him and act like he's on their side. It's been going on for years. This is easily avoidable for Shane Gillis. He doesn't have to go on Rogan and talk politics with this fucking meathead and bring up Nick Fuentes. But he continues to do shit like this. He knows what he's doing, and I'm calling him out on it. Stop being such a pussy about it.

Fantastic. Can you find out which Reagan doc she watched? I could use the additional ammo.

AI and suggestion
You also could have just posted that prompt question as a thread on here, and people would have given you their suggestions. I've been waiting for the right thread to post this amazing song and performance. She's talking about her relationship with Ryan Adams when she was younger. She's a great lyricist, and I love her phrasings.

2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Totally agree. I understand why Ime put Shepard back on the bench after a couple of starts, there were too many cooks in the kitchen offensively to start the game. Okogie was the only real option at the time. With Eason back, he looks like the ideal fit. He doesn't need the ball on offense (but still elite open 3 option), great defender, and most importantly has great energy.

Saw IMAX 3D showing this afternoon with my kid. Don't care much for the storytelling but damn what a technical achievement. Worth it just for the visuals.

Shane Gillis
Holy shit, Derka. I don't take back a word I said. You are projecting and kind of losing your shit here. I'l happily bow out of this thread if this is upsetting you so much. Good grief.

Shane Gillis
Your reading comprehension is terrible. I don't think Shane Gillis is a hateful MAGA guy. I think he insincerely straddles the line politically to absorb as many fans as possible. That's been my annoyance with him, this was just another example. I mean, he's still going on Rogan's show??

Shane Gillis
Very cool to go on Rogan, bring up Nick Fuentes, and then placate Joe's attempt to normalize him.

Merry Christmas, everyone.- Christopher Nolan's next film, The Odyssey

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.- I for one welcome our new AI overlords
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.- One Battle After Another, the next Paul Thomas Anderson film
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.- Media Bias Thread
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.- Trump’s America
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.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
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.- Media Bias Thread
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.- Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
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! - ICE activity/raids
