  1. I feel like Paramount has been on a diet ever since Brad Grey passed away. They make about four movies a year and most of their revenue is licensing their catalogue out to the streamers.
  2. To rebut a bit, but I wouldn’t overly infer broad demographic and voting changes because a few assholes in the suburbs want to make absolutely sure all the neighbors know their politics. I don’t know if there’s data yet to support this, but I would guess the majority of immigration is center left or “independent” (quotes because I’m a skeptical of anyone describing themselves as such), they just don’t fly flags or put up yard signs for that.
  3. Maybe you should try that link I provided 😉
  4. I don't think the condo count should be that big of a deal; there's that many units in an apartment complex a block away. It's the height I'm sure the neighbors will fight. There's nothing taller than three stories on West Lynn.
  5. This is just reading the tea leaves, but I think Solomon Williams' NIL is being allocated elsewhere and Foster doesn't cost anything.
  6. Shipley was hired to open doors in west Texas and lasted as long as he did because Bellmont doesn’t/can’t fire anyone.

    Not relevant to your question but one takeaway is they provide free water cups that might the smallest I’ve ever seen in a restaurant. As a result of you’ll be back and forth from the water dispenser several times. Given the whole operation is restaurant impresario Danny Meyer’s baby I wonder if it’s intentional.
  8. Looks like Moura lost the Narcos weight and is back in Elite Squad shape.
  9. Thanks for the correction. I don’t think Marvel would be likely to go down that road again, either. These productions are years in the making and I’m sure they were feeling invulnerable after End Game. It’s also telling they haven’t tried to use any of those characters elsewhere, God knows there‘s a ton of them. I thought Love and Thunder was too discordant (Waititi lost the balance) and as a result the comedy didn’t mesh with the pathos. I thought it was satisfactory if too cute and appreciated, too, just the attempt to do something a little more personal to the filmmaker’s vision even if it didn’t wholly work. That said, I can’t bring myself to rewatch it. I am very interested to see where they go from here because I don’t think the most common complaints (“they keep making the same movie” and “you have to have watched 30 movies and 5 TV shows to know what’s going on”) are valid. What I see is a production company intentionally trying to diversify and expand the kind of stories they want to tell and the market is punishing them for it.* *also, they have been fucked by Disney+
  10. Also not shocking but they were pretty terrible at any academic competitions. Silsbee was also garbage except for Mark Henry. Anyway, back to recruiting, I'm not shocked when a guy from there finds College Station more familiar. Austin (particularly now) is just a whole different world.
  11. Jasper is really weird-back when I was in school they were in our district and regularly curb stomped us in any sports where you just had to run fast (particularly football and track). I didn’t realize they had any white kids at all until I went to their high school for an Ag competition (and all of them better fit your description).
  12. It’s fine, don’t go expecting A+ dining. It’s a great experience in that setting regardless.
  13. Dammit @atomheartbevo, you are too fast for me!
  14. I thought he was the co-author of the Bernstein Bears line of children’s books.
  15. Not to defend Nahlin, but that appears to be the business model. The same has been said about OB, 247, hell we have two whole threads mostly about Liucci lying to patrons.
  16. You keep saying that like filling potholes is some kind of partisan issue. I’ll think you’ll be surprised by his willingness to take public positions opposing them now that he’s in a position to profit from it and far more shielded from their disfavor.
  17. Their roster actually looks a lot like ours might after 2025 and with only Altuve and Yordan left. Stars and scrubs.
  18. You might be right but to play devils advocate, Bobby and Gerry have done probably countless radio spots with imbeciles like Chad Hastings. I don’t think they are too proud to talk to Ian Boyd. In my fantasy world this was driven by Nahlin insisting that Gerry and Bobby join his Amway team and they’ve been gently rebuffing his overtures for years and finally got too sick of it.
  19. With who? Everyone in media is in staff reduction mode. He's already been at ESPN and CBS, he ain't going back to OrangeBloods. I presume this means national with On3 but Nahlin would have written something like "he'll still be contributing to InsideTexas but as a national correspondent".
  20. If Nahlin wanted to write a “we’re still friends” post I don’t think it would have been that one…
  21. I was under the impression that Bobby was one of the On3 owners. Gerry seems to get restless wherever he goes.
  22. Just as a lark I went through the Dodgers roster, current payroll, and then Fangraphs prospect list. A few observations: 1. For as touted as their minor league system is by prospect writers, they don't appear to be developing replacements for departing MLB players. Most of their prospects are also older. 2. Speaking of old, what's left of their lineup is pretty ancient. 3. Signing Ohtani is unlikely to be their last move and then need several starters. Isn't that what we just heard about the Yankees?
  23. Wow, that contract is nuts! I’m actually kind of impressed that the Dodgers are willing to risk that much.
  24. Same here--I used to make my own dough in big batches with the stand mixer, freeze it, defrost and let rise minimum 3 days, etc. Now I can just buy Trader Joe's for $1.50 a dough day off and it turns out excellent or let it sit in the fridge for four or five days and it's even better. Whole Foods dough (at least in Austin) is even tastier but it's a lot harder to work with.
  25. That's another thing I like about New Orleans--there's lots of great options at different price points. Way too frequently in Austin good=expensive.
