  1. The showrunner interview after the episode, "I think if we learn one thing, if you laugh at Aemond (the brothel humiliation last week), it will be bad for you".
  2. I was today years old when I learned that the WNBA commish was the former CEO of Deloitte. Great bonafides to run the WNBA in this unprecedented growth phase and not to squander it.

    Bronny James

    I think what will happen is Bronny plays a few games wtih his old man, makes history, fuflills a bucket list for LeBron, then LeBron will hide him in the G-league until Bronny "retires" due to re-complication of his heart and health issues. No chance LeBron wants his son bieng riducled for being ridiculously outclassed by the last man on the bench of every NBA team and embarrassed. No father wants that for his son.
  4. Well said. I think we often forget that we are all college educated adults of above average means and who are well informed. That makes us, what, the top 10% of the citizenry? Think of the dumbest person you know, cut his IQ in half and then copy and paste that guy 200 million times and you have half the electorate.
  5. GLad that the far right nazi RN's lost, but Macron's centrist party was the real loser here (to the left's amazing and astonishing win). Centrists lost a third of their seats in a referendum against Macron. He's basically a lame-duck president for 3 years now until his term ends in 2027. This was interesting too, France’s former president François Hollandewon a seat with the left-leaning coalition group.
  6. Biden is the only one that can win 120 days until the election. This is quite literally the worst case scenario unfolding before our eyes. Too late to get a real contender who can beat Trump and not late enough that Biden cratered and has deteriorated in front of the electorates eyes 4 months too early. It’s post July 4th of an election year- It’s no man’s land.
  7. Honestly, rewatching some clips today, if Biden's voice wasn't hoarse, I think it's less of a story. The hoarseness made him appear weaker and feeble, but if you have listened to any of his other speeches, his non-sick voice coupled with his talking points nobody was freaking out. He needs to go on this interview, put some bass in his voice, and be definitive and strong and energized. We got this. I mean. The fate of the democracy hangs in the balance, I'm sure ABC powers that be knows this.
  8. If you are all rooting for another disaster, you will be sorely disappointed. From what I can tell, this won't be live. There will be a chance to cut out anything absolutely egregious and everything else will work itself out. Everyone chill.
  9. She was at the BET awards and doing skits with a very strong GOTV message, making sure everyone knows how important this all is, if they aren't clued in or necessarily engaged politically.
  10. July 4th on all the party boats:
  11. I'm looking for rats here. Rats. 10k. Meat Shield. Blue eyes. Rats. 10k. Meat Shield. Blue eyes. Okay, we can move on now. Still stoned.
  12. Labour and Tories seem aligned in foreign policy: they’re both pro-NATO, pro-Ukraine, and pro-Israel.
  13. I think we've been hearing about how old and imcompetent he was the last two years, but it was by trolls, irreputable media sources, obvious antagonizers, and unserious people, so we just dismissed it as evidence 9,999,999 of disingenous political fodder from the far right. Seeing it actually happen on TV, in a slow car wreck sort of way, really shooketh a lot of folks. I think the shock has worn off but the stink from it still lingers. I thought it would be gone by now in this 24/7 media hype circus cycle we live in. In a way, the stupid disingenous media running the "Biden is senile" narrative worked against us because we weren't prepared for him to look and sound how very old men look and sound.
  14. I think I needed more time to really and intentionally think about the number 10,000 and what that would look like in an arena and how it would play. Humans (at least, me) aren't really wired to be able to spatially think about huge amounts of numbers as psychologists have pointed out and famously the infographic showing our innate inability to reason $1 billion versus $1 million dollars. If the hunter has a rifle, with a scope and unlimited ammo I think you are right you have to choose him. For some reason I was thinking the hunter had a rifle, with a scope and 1 bullet. I went back and reread the prompt, I think I let the "1" confuse me. So, I think you are right. 10,000 rats + Hunter give you the most optimal conditions in what seems to still be a very low probability that you survive.
  15. Not sure if anyone needs this (I wish I could have used it), but saw there is a quiet new Beta program you can get in on: https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/3/24190366/us-passport-online-renewal-beta-fast
  16. They are telling you they are, in fact, not okay with her taking over if Biden dies.
  17. And everyone who saw it coming will blame those who had their fingers in their ears and it will be 4 years of "run anyone but hillary and you win" redux. 2016-2020 remixed.
  18. This is actually a tough question for me. When you assess the lethality of each line item, on their own merit, it's interesting. But then when you intersect them all in one arena, it becomes almost too complex. Too many permutations and variables. Will the 15 wolves you don't pick to defend yourself be distracted and canabalize their team by eating rats? Will the rats swarm the buffalos while you run from lions? Will the hawks eat all the rats? Will the hunter get a single clear shot against you before being mauled by your bear? Do you have to waste a pick by picking the hunter because that's a 100% chance of dying but also is 100% chance he dies in defending you and leaves you at 50% defense? Am I stoned?
  19. By being Lebron's son a great teammate and having a winning attitude.
  20. I mean, I am sure that American Express won't let me charge $5mm to Yachts R Us in Newport, California, if that is what you mean, but I just checked and threw an arbitrary number to see if it would let me charge it:
  21. As someone said upstream your VP nom is usually just to shore up voters where the President is weakest or in most need and to compliment so as to de-risk as much as possible, instead of picking someone who would actually be the 2nd best President (or even a good President, potentially). This is a black swan type event where we actually needed both, but you still run with Kamala 10/10 times in 2020. Everyone can say they saw this coming with the age, but I think few truly felt it would come home to roost like it did on Thursday of the debate. We are still in somewhat of a shock to what we saw 8 days ago.
  22. Also, maybe I'm just old fashioned, but isn't there still a distinction between a charge card and a credit card? My AMEX has no pre-set limit or credit limit, for example. And I'm expected to pay it off completely. Isn't that a difference?
  23. My brother in Christ, the amount of cards I've had to do this for over the years range from Carter's, Old Navy, JCP, Macy's, NFM, Ashley's furniture, and Target. Instant close out the accounts but she didn't stop. Then she did it with the Sam's credit card and we've actually kept that one and get like $1000 in cash a year. Sorry I'm old and rambling, but yes, the memories. Also the guy's wife 100% took out the Ulta card and forgot about it.
  24. Am I the only one who thought The Gray Man was awesome? Okay, I'll see myself out...
