Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Would have been a great hire in 2015.

Christopher Nolan's next film, The Odyssey
He summons the dead, because Circe explained that he had to ask the shade of a dead prophet for answers about what to do to get home. He has to sail to the edge of the known world and perform a ritual. Honestly a pretty great summary of the story:

Slutcon (Apropos of Incels, White Male Millennials, Gen Z Nihilism, #MeToo, and Declining Birth Rates)
Not having friends is a major issue and it would be fascinating to see the make friendship rate for Slutcon attendees. A big issue is men who expect a prospective partner to fill every social, emotional, and sexual need they have. Itās notable they donāt have a philosophy to blame men for a lack of friends. These people have existed. If you recall Columbine, the shooters targeted pretty girls and the boys they liked. In this decade theyād be called incels. I do think the online world allowed them to seek out others like them, take shelter from the reality of their behavior, and even create a monetized ecosystem targeting them. We all knew a few āincelsā in college and high schoolā no one was trying to make money off them and they didnāt have a huge community of people validating their frustrations. We need to consider the impact on women and girls, too. It is no longer one weirdo classmate leering or making inappropriate comments on her body, or developing an unreciprocated crush. Itās a stream of inappropriate, awkward, unwanted sexual advances from guys who are fed a stream of OF girls by the algos. A dating app is designed to deliver low-effort shock flirting or creepy advances that and I believe it creates a really distorted view of what most men are like. A topic for another thread is the impact of platforms that encourage teenagers to express their opinions of a classmateās bikini photos via nuanced pictograms and what that does to everyoneās mental health.

Sherrone Moore's Michigan Meltdown - Staffers, Breakups, Extortion, Cover-Ups, Firings, Knives, Assaults, Breakdowns, Arrests
The difference between being the Michigan HC and just a guy in your 40s is that you can leave fire emojis on that OF modelās Insta stories and sometimes she will respond.

Slutcon (Apropos of Incels, White Male Millennials, Gen Z Nihilism, #MeToo, and Declining Birth Rates)
Anyway, better advice than Slutcon is: try to become an acquaintance or friend of a woman you are not sexually attracted to. Go in with the intention of getting to know a woman you donāt think youād ever want to fuck, and donāt act like you want to fuck her. Donāt even think about it. - Maybe youāll make a friend. Awesome! She will also likely help you meet more women. Use your new social skills there. - Maybe she wonāt want to get to know you. Maybe she wonāt like being around you. Maybe your problem is just āpeople.ā Time to reassess. Tweak your game. Try again champ! - Maybe this is a meet cute and over time you will fall for each other. This wonāt happen but it could. But donāt try to make it happen. If you do that youāre doing it wrong! Back to step oneā DO NOT TRY TO SLEEP WITH HER. - Maybe she will mistake friendly interest for romantic interest and you will need to grapple with that. Look at you- putting someone in the āfriend zone.ā Are you a bad or cruel person? Is it your fault that she couldnāt accept what you felt and were offering? No? Many life lessons to ponder here.

Slutcon (Apropos of Incels, White Male Millennials, Gen Z Nihilism, #MeToo, and Declining Birth Rates)
I mostly agree with this but for the incels and weirdos who go to Slutcon I think it still wonāt work and theyāll need training wheels. Church is for sure a place where a slightly inexperienced, or dorky awkward guy can meet women with a support network of people cheering for them. Works well for our generation. I donāt think we appreciate how nuked this generation of weirdos are. They are not going to be able to: - Politely feign interest in the sermon or Bible study she wants to talk or ask about - Spend a few minutes jawboning with the dads there about a game or camping or how business is going - Slap on a pair of khakis and a button-down and get a haircut that looks like the married men there (signaling that they are in the mix for that future). - Get acquainted with a church girl, accept that this particular church girl isnāt interested, and then show up next Sunday and be polite and genuinely friendly, and demonstrate that maybe youāre OK for some other church girl even if the first didnāt work out. - Making friends with a church girl THEY are not interested in or evenāgaspā with another man there so they can practice doing things like ātalking to peopleā or ācompromising on an activityā or āgrabbing a burger just to hang out. These guys are FRIED man. They canāt interact with women without either explicitly trying to fuck them, getting angry that they donāt want to fuck, or treating them like non-entities because they arenāt fuckable. They donāt make friends, they just look for other dudes who validate their women hate. They donāt have normal or non-off putting interests and canāt pretend they do. A lot of these skills they canāt or donāt want to learn and they didnāt learn them in youth group or wherever. My folks are in leadership in a church and have talked to me about 1-2 burnoutsā 18-20 with no job or prospectsā who actually where part of the church with their families. They failed to develop and theyāve had to be talked to (and their parents) about how church is for everyone, and that means these dudes canāt creep on girls and act wounded when girls donāt reciprocate.

Christopher Nolan's next film, The Odyssey
The Odyssey is just much more fun- sex, monsters, shipwrecks, swashbuckling, and a big final shootout. The Iliad is brooding, deep, and a bunch of dudes being their worse selves because they have been stuck on a shitty beach they never wanted to go to anyway. I love the Odyssey, it is a foundational story and basically all incredible journey/hero trying to go home stories are just covers. I want to know how Nolan treats Odysseus. The Greeks treat him as the most Greek of all heroes, admiring his cleverness and resourceful pragmatism. The Romans felt like he was a tricky, deceitful asshole who bucked their stodgy, do a simple job well attitude. Dante and Shakespeare agreed and the former put him in Hell for being a real dick. There isnāt a ārealā Odysseus, every Western generation creates its own, and I expect Nolan will give us a brooding post-modern guy with lots of inner torment (the Greeks didnāt seem to think he should be bothered by being a selfish prick, and the Gods appeared to come around to the view that he was just smart enough you had to tip your hat). But he shouldnāt be in a fucking Viking longship.

Maybe itās part of the expanded Nolan Universe and we are looking at Bruce Wayne being incepted or Teneted or Interstellared into ancient Mycenae and heās also Agamemnon. Or Bruce Wayne was Agamemnon all along.

Twelve killed in shooting targeting Jewish community at Australia's Bondi Beach
- The Democratic Party
One of the interesting phenomena (albeit predictable) associated with rapid demographic shift in Britain is that the center-left party is now home to more voters who individually disapprove of gay people than the far-right party. Trans is not a part of this, but Iād expect similar ratios. It will be interesting to see where/whether gay rights moves or lands. US demographic shifts are a different mix. Although there are isolated pockets where this tracks, like in locales in Michigan where Democratic Muslim leaders have taken majorities and banned pride flags on public property for display.- Christopher Nolan's next film, The Odyssey
I just googled āOdyssey movie ship.ā Here is what that used: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyn32vgrrqo.amp- Trumpās America
Itās been a long time since I read that book. I have no doubt. I donāt dispute that pre-contact Polynesians likely did not do things like raise an army and place it in the field for a long campaign and sustain it with taxation and loans raised from other pre-contact tribes. There was for sure conquest and likely genocidal conquest. Post-contact, there was that time that a group of MÄori hijacked British ships, forced the crew to sail to an island occupied by a non-violent tribe, and them used firearms to invade, enslave: and then genocide said non-violent tribe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moriori_genocide- Trumpās America
That is because they were on islands (a long way away from each other) and to your last point, sustained and large-scale war requires a certain level of technology and bureaucracy to include writing. As far as treating each other better, itās a matter of perspective. Europeans generally did not eat people they defeated on the battlefield.- Slutcon (Apropos of Incels, White Male Millennials, Gen Z Nihilism, #MeToo, and Declining Birth Rates)
Cotton Hill approach is available upthread, my good man.- Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
None of those involve peiple who were detained in local jails for months or even weeks, or ādisappeared off the street.ā They are people mistakenly or (as ruled in a decision) improperly detained for a few days, in any event less than a week. You argued that the former was happening. The latter is a problem, certainly, but it is notably less egregious than the former and there are also tweaks and safeguards that can be implemented to prevent it. It is notable that Fairfax will refuse to do even the mild, settlement approved route of placing a phone call notification when someone is being released. I am going to nope out of this convo because you have a deep aversion to simply admitting you were mistaken about a significant question (or at least that the question isnāt settled); instead identifying a different problem and claiming thatās what you mean all along. It is exhausting and an unproductive way to have a conversation.- Trumpās America

Knights and royals Normans, the Welsh Celts, and the English Anglo-Saxons. Roughly, by 1415 there had been a lot of jumbling. It was like 1000 years between the initial Anglo-Saxon settlement and Agincourt.- Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
Twice did not post any data, he posted a link to the detainer form itself which also had a link to a settlement explainer. In neither one is there any data that local jails are holding people regularly for months on ICE detainers. I welcome that data if it exists. It has not been provided and I havenāt seen it. https://immigrantjustice.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/gonzalez_settlement_explainer_4-16-25.pdf The executive branch does not have to pass a law for every action it takes to further efficiency in implementing laws Congress passed. Iām unaware of any decision holding the detainer request itself to be unconstitutional or illegal. I have seen some courts side with some plaintiffs, mostly after the 48 hour hold. I think that is separate from how any single administration misuses procedures.- Trumpās America
Well, the knights and royals were but the archers were good English and Welshmen.- Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
I think you are conflating the 48 hour detainer with actual ICE detention once removal proceedings are initiated. I do not see an epidemic of people held for months or weeks on ICE detainers in local jails. I think the burden needs to be on you to show some data that is actually happening with regularity.- Christopher Nolan's next film, The Odyssey
Not me. Iām more interested in whether Nolan can come up with material for a prequel. - The Democratic Party
