  1. Spiderman No Way Home; Pretty mediocre. The worst of the 3 Tom Holland Spiderman movies by a country mile.
  2. This was the scene (the music notes) that jumped the shark for me. What a mediocre movie.
  3. I liked it a lot. Chris Evans was hilarious as a caricature and the premise and plot was absurd, but aren’t most Bond movies? The Bridgerton guy was the weakest link— nobody watching this believed that sissy boy was a power player. The Tamil friend was awesome (got RRR vibes— Tollywood having a moment on Netflix) The last fight scene was awesome. When Chris Evans punched Goslin’s top of his noggin with his JPP fireworks hand I laughed out loud.
  4. It’s a 4 day migraine and sore neck, but yea, I guess not catastrophic. But it doesn’t not suck.
  5. Great news. I got aseptic meningitis as a nice side effect from my first IVIG transfusions. So, the first treatment (cellcept) wouldn’t work for me because of the side effects. This was plan B. Sounds like I’ll not be a candidate due to side effects. I wonder if there is a plan C in mind with any efficacy, now.
  6. Tom Hanks: Best- A League of Their Own Worst- None.
  7. Some of y’all haven’t eaten Bejing corn and it shows.
  8. I thought your post was a trolling joke but then I read this, this AM: Monkeypox has been endemic in sub-Saharan Africa for decades, but this summer it’s exploded in regions where it previously hadn’t circulated. Since May, the virus has infected more than 16,000 people across more than 70 countries, according to the CDC. 99% of cases outside of Africa are men, and 98% of cases have been found in men who have sex with other men—particularly those who have multiple sexual partners, according to the WHO. The agency warned against the stigmatization of this group, and suggested that by providing information and resources targeted to the community, the outbreak could be contained.
  9. Cut the umbilical cord, dad. No wonder he flew halfway across the world to grow up. I kid I kid.
  10. So far this has gone about as bad as can be hoped for Elon which is equal parts of hilarious and cool. If anyone needed to be brought down a peg, it’s the pale emperor king.
  11. It’s what we in the business call “executive presence”. Remember he went to a finishing school (McK).
  12. I might be old but I can still recognize an NFT joke at my GenX expense
  13. There used to be 18+ dance clubs (the Italian friend will recognize a younger discotheque) where 18-19-20 year olds would go to get sweaty dancing all night. Do those places no longer exist? Lizard lounge was also a place 18 year olds would go.
  14. You think? I think our BIPOC friends and family will be heartbroken to find out the opposite, that a white, young, smart, man who looks like he could pass as cisgender and straight, would be a lot less hated for who he is. Of course that’s not to say the gay jokes and slurs and hateful language in Locker rooms and bar rooms won’t go to the moon.
  15. Trick question; I've never flown on a good airline.
  16. Yes. Posted on the wrong thread probably, but to repost: Rise, the Disney + Giannis Antetokounmpo biopic. Really good, really schmaltzy, but also family friendly with a good message and story. 10/10 for family movie nights with tween kids or young basketball fans.
  17. Is your post laying the ground for an argument that airlines and the airline travel industry is a public good or utility? What is interesting is the DOJ/anti-trust fears influencing what is going on with Frontier trying to buy Spirit (and Jet Blue getting into it) and slowing or stopping M&A, if the thesis is that consolidation is good for the industry to be self-sufficient.
  18. Speaking of socialism for capitalist, is there a thread talking specifically about the CHIPS bill and the semiconductor money? I'd like to read the reasoned discussion, with a political angle, on that.
  19. The two things that should be slam dunks are for some reason the hardest for Biden to move on: (a min. of) $10k student loan forgiveness and a federal legalization (or a min. of decriminalization) of marijuana. Is it because he's an old white guy with the attendant baggage of being a white male who lived and participated in the white male culture of the 50's and such?
  20. Rise, the Disney + Giannis Antetokounmpo biopic. Really good, really schmaltzy, but also family friendly with a good message and story. 10/10 for family movie nights with tween kids or young basketball fans.
  21. Agree and anytime the "Pelosi is awesome and should be speaker of the house" titled thread is bumped I cringe to death, with the benefit of hindsight.
  22. I think if Pete keeps getting exposure like this and just does his thing, he is going to have a glow-up between now and 2024 when people are going to wake up and say "Why don't we vote for the young, smart, and articulate guy" versus the old guy who has a speech impediment that get's taken advantage of as senility, when it's not.
  23. Anyways, what about how inflation is hurting small town BBQ? That sucks. https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-the-southwest/the-true-costs-of-inflation-in-small-town-texas
  24. Edit to add, quoted the wrong person. Meant to quote: This might not be the appropriate place, but speaking of Bond villain did you guys see the paparazzi photos of Ari Emanuel hosing Musk off on his yacht today? He looked like a super pale and fat Mads Mikkelesen. Like, very unhealthy. The other super billionaire Bond villains spend .0001% of their worth on a physical trainer and shaving their head and dating crazy latinas so they can live longer enjoying their crazy privilege. Maybe Musk is intent on burning it all to the ground with him and his physical/mental health on top of the pyre.
