Nope, tonights hot 3pt shooter was Naz Reid! Big game from him filling in for KAT nicely.

OT in Cleveland, 97-97 after 4 between 2 of the best defensive teams in the league!

Poor Things - wow, just wow. I don't know what to say about it, it's so many things. The set design, costumes, acting are all excellent. The story is interesting and weird (like everything Lanthimos does), but also funny and entertaining. Lots of great one-liner quotes are sprinkled throughout. It's somewhat of a futuristic Frankenstein movie, but substantial differences in how the monster is viewed by the people. Instead of the villagers with pitchforks and torches casting out the monster, they all want to... well ya know... the monster. I'm not sure if I would recommend this film to most people, but if you are a fan of Emma Stone and want to see her space-alien-looking-self fucking a whole lot, this movie is for you!

They should have called Tatums shove of Garland before the shot, making the rest of it moot. That's why he got such a clean shot to brick.

Oh sorry, I didn't realize he had an offset in his deal. That may make him retire then, not much point in putting your body through the stress of being an NFL QB if you get 38m either way. Maybe he can find a contender to join and try to steal the starter spot like SF or Cleveland.

I don't know if I would put him that low in the rankings, but watching tape on Drake Maye I see a QB that doesn't have a lot of power in his arm. The ball looks slow in the air compared to other college QBs, and guys like that tend to do fairly poorly at the NFL level. He also underthrows a lot of balls, but playing against a lot of subpar defenses allows more room for errors at the NCAA level. However, strength is something you can build and improve upon at any level, but I would not be happy if my team spent a 1st on him.

This is cool

A great reply to that tweet: "this could have been an email and not a run for president."

I saw it a few months ago and agree, she was great. Although the movie felt like a simple Bradley Cooper Oscar-bait vehicle, and nothing more. I thought the choice of a prosthetic nose was a bit over the top, a lot like Steve Carell in Foxcatcher, but they both got Best Actor noms with it, so maybe it's a trend.

He's not going to play for minimum wage, even QB backups make around 3-5m a year. I don't like him, never really have, and I think any team adding him as a stopgap QB would need to pay him about 10-15m+incentives for a 1 year deal. QBs are expensive, even shitty ones on rebuilding teams. I think he may wind up on the Vikings if Cousins is leaving.

I can agree with you that this particular savings isn't a huge impact, but it's not something to complain about either. What did Trump and the Republicans ever do for those low/middle class families who you are "worried" about? Do you think their tax cuts had a positive impact on those making less than 50k a year? 100k? Have you looked at the impact of the tax cuts since 2017? There is tons of data about how it hasn't done anything for individuals and families, but has benefitted corporations significantly. Compound that with the inflation we encountered over the past few years, and they could probably use a proper tax break in the near future. Here are a couple of articles that were done pre-Covid, so the context is relevant to the typical years prior for comparison. This is who Republicans prioritize time and time again. Every time they get power they give huge tax cuts and bailouts to corporations, pay mouth service to "helping the middle class" and years later all we see is ungodly amounts of money going to corporations, who now get to fund the campaigns of those in power who make the rules. From CAP, good article on how only companies have benefited: https://www.americanprogress.org/article/tcja-2-years-later-corporations-not-workers-big-winners/ Brookings Institute: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-middle-class-needs-a-tax-cut-trump-didnt-give-it-to-them/ The 2017 tax law doesn’t help the middle class The new tax law—known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)—will exacerbate this trend. The benefits of the law tilt toward the well-off both now and in the future, according to the distributional analysis of the Tax Policy Center. By 2027, benefits of the tax law flow entirely to the rich. (The Joint Committee on Taxation finds similar results using a different measure.) This one is really something with a 5 year analysis on the impact of those tax cuts. 275 billion going back to companies via subsidies, and yet only 562 billion in collected taxes on 4 trillion in profits from this group of 342 corps. Insane. https://itep.org/corporate-tax-avoidance-trump-tax-law/ The 342 companies included in this study paid an average effective income tax rate of just 14.1 percent during this five-year period, almost a third less than the statutory rate of 21 percent. Of these, 55 (16 percent of the total 342 companies) paid effective rates of less than 5 percent. This is particularly striking given that all these companies were profitable for at least five years consecutively. Companies paying less than 5 percent include T-Mobile, DISH Network, Netflix, General Motors, AT&T, Bank of America, Citigroup, FedEx, Molson Coors, Nike, and many others. Twenty-three corporations paid zero federal tax over the five-year period despite being profitable in every single year. And 109 corporations paid zero federal tax in at least one of the five years. At the other end of the spectrum, 50 corporations paid effective tax rates of more than 21 percent, but most of these companies were also the beneficiaries of large tax breaks because they were paying taxes from previous years that they delayed using depreciation breaks.

Dean tried his hardest, just 39,538 short. Watching on LP with no commercials has some really funny shit sometimes. Check this out:

Might be cool to get a signed bottle or something from Roy if he's doing autographs.

This you?

Octavio Dotel? If nothing else he's a top 3 Immaculate Grid random guess option.

Miller had her second kid just a couple months before filming of Season 12 started too.

Time for Garland to step up and show what he can do. Btw, is Brunson OK? He left the game last night on the first possession with what looked like a ligament tear, given the way he acted. They said it was a bruise from banging knees, but I have never seen anyone act like they got shot in the leg from a light contact "bruise" like that.

I don't recall much of Nip/Tuck, haven't watched it since it was new on TV, but this scene always stuck with me.

First movie I saw in a theater post-Covid, and it was such an awesome experience. I love the sound in these movies, it makes it feel so much more realistic. Can't forget the OG though:

Caling for a ceasefire or to "stop bombing Gaza" and "help these poor people" is not anti-Israel, it's anti-war. 30,000+ dead is not something even the most pro-Israel Jews can ignore, especially when it's so one-sided. Glazer made some comments about how the movie is relevant right now, but would be relevant no matter when it was released, because humans continue to inflict suffering on each other. I would expect him to have the sense to speak to the issue with some intelligence and nuance to point the finger at the right culprit in this conflict, if he would get the chance to do so.
