    Snow Crash, and which other two? Did you ever read "I have no mouth, and I must scream"?

    Topical because I literally just watched the series from the 80's last week on @shadow_operative recommendation. What is objectionable that should be banned that I'm missing? Granted it was the made for TV series and not the book, so maybe there is more vulgarity and graphic in the book, but the series was super tame. The only thing I can think of is they use the word "whore" a dozen times or so and show prostitution?

    Felt super 80's and trying to be ironic or retro?

    Lil Wayne said it best "Big house long hallways got ten bathrooms I could sh*t all day n**** (n****a)" "If we are good, we're good" was a classic Logan line that didn't tell you anything or give any assurances. I thought that was masterfully done.

    In the late 90's and early 00's I thought it was edgy to not like Radiohead because all my pretentious friends were gaga over them and how they were the only interesting band making music at the time. But I've come to find out they were right. I go back and listen to The Bends and OK Computer a couple times a year.

    Morgan Wallen is doing numbers as good or better than like Taylor Swift and Beyonce. He's a cultural force, which means his music is necessarily average to middling and probably optimized in a studio office somewhere for the broadest range of appeal in his demo.

    I LOVE Tracy Chapman and have always celebrated her entire catalog. Love that cover song, thanks for posting. One of my favorite samples of TC was a zany freestyle by a rapper at SXSW. It's a beautiful juxtaposition of melody and existential chaos: "Shawl neck on a drunk lawyer Coke sh*ts in the toilet Turkey sandwich in aluminum foil" Preach.

    Ted getting gut-punched is always hard to watch. Crimm being integrated into the mix and falling into the orbit is fun, with his Julia Andrews take and then at the end with the ethical decision I'm guessing he will face (I have always assumed Crimm was gay himself, as it is) I love a good sports montage so I'm glad we finally got one, but the best part of the episode was the music; Jesus Christ Superstar with Zava and the Leonard Cohen classic:

    I love how you can't take the St. Paul out of him fully. I am still not sure that Tom was being honest with Greg and not just trolling him about the CCTV and goading Greg him to tell on himself to Uncle Logan. It seemed like he was, but nothing more came of it.

    Kudos and hats off the police here for sure. Definitely saved lives with their rapid and efficient and brave response.

    I was reading something the other day about how we live in a post-truth society, and with AI, it's just going to get worse. Sussing out what is truth and real will not even be a question; there will be multiple truths and realities. We are going through the pain of it now. And this was all premised upon the fake Pope wearing a Balenciaga puffy jacket that went viral which somehow fooled a lot of people. If only we knew how prescient the terms "fake news" and "alternative facts" really was back then.

    Tom is still laugh out loud funny. One of the few characters who get written to make me belly laugh and his delivery is always on point: “What’s even in there? Huh? Flat shoes for the subway? Her lunch pail? I mean, Greg, it’s monstrous. It’s gargantuan. You could take it camping. You could slide it across the floor after a bank job,” I guess it was interesting seeing Tom/Shiv come to a conclusion of divorce, but I really wanted to see the fall out from the end of Season 3 when Tom betrayed her and how that was managed, versus the implications we got peppered throughout this episode. It worked fine, just personal preference and probably because Tom is why I love the show and the more scenes he can chew the better for my tastes.

    So it netted 300mm (still great), considering $2bn was the publicly stated break-even number.

    Despite having the same surname, they are not related. At least that's what Google search told me.

    You were about 50% of the reason, every time, muchacho.

    At this point, nothing is going to change and nobody will fix anything, so I might as well get one and get trained and get a CHL or whatever. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em I guess and try to never have to use it.

    I'd never heard this before. It's actually kind of decent haha I'll see myself out.
  22. HamsterHookah
    Agree 100%

    The opposite stance is weirder to me. If you hate Musk and think he's an idiot, then watching Twitter fail should be a source of great joy and humor, instead of being mad at him about it. He will have lost $44bn on a stupid hobby project that he mismanaged to zero if that is the case which should please everyone except the 1% of the human population who actually liked Twitter.
  24. HamsterHookah
    The thing I'm most interested in right now is: Do I think Twitter will grow in valuation from $20bn (and do I want to invest and gamble that?) or do I think Musk will continue tanking Twitter and it will fail or be sold for parts? This is probably because I never cared for Twitter in the first place as a social media tool.

    And that's just it, isn't it? We won't fix it, so we are driving people to do just that; homeschool. Will it become statistically relevant that homeschooling will be safer than public or private schooling due to school shooting? I don't know, but you can see the stats of the rise of homeschooling (and to be fair a lot of that had to do with covid and schools shutting down) in the past 5 years.
