  1. Past hour
  2. The dubbing is hard to take on these shows
  3. That would probably explain the slow play on the charges or even releasing his name.
  4. Not for a lot of good options in the 90s so I cheated Watch Yojimbo instead
  5. Honestly, put AI of Mickey as play by play and Pluto as color. Use the voices of Samuel Jackson and AI of John Madden. SJ- "These mother fucking lineman layin' opened up a whole bigger than old New Orleans where." JM - "Speaking of boom, that a hole... lot of love for your Running back." SJ - "My man. Flag is down, let this mother fucker say holding one more time, I dare him" JM - "Sometimes you just gotta reach out and touch someone Sammy."
  6. Get a year for the subsidies, hope to flip the House (and maybe Senate) in '26 mid-terms and then you can run out the clock on Trump 2.0. (Yes, I know. There's going to be so much fucky-fucky with the '26 midterms. MAGA gonna cheat like motherfuckers -- if we have them at all. If we don't flip the House at least in '26, the country's gone and it won't fucking matter about the subsidies anyways after next year.)
  7. welcome to late stage capitalism and the great enshittification did it begin with the nixon nuke on bretton woods in '71? reaganomic deregulation? graham-leach-bliley in '99? citizens united in '10? the race to the bottom began round about when many of us on this board were born or growing up a very very small number of "big M&A" deals have been nixed in this century, notably comcast/timewarner and at&t/tmobile..... microsoft was NOT forced to break up, the original bell system breakup resulted in death stars, usair acquired aamerican regardless of the obama admin's attempts to stop it, google pays antitrust fines by handing over free data, XOM (exxon+mobil) required the 2 entities to 'divest' 2500 gas stations, but they just wrote new paper for the new storefronts (7eleven, tetco) and made MORE MONEY on the downstream without the retail overhead, the list goes on and on and on in this particular situation, google v. disney, the culprit was the telco act of '96 which allowed broadcasters to bypass their cable distribution agreements this was an almost 100% bipartisan catastrophe the results of which we feel today were never envisioned https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_Act_of_1996 our entire system of economic governance is corrupted by the captured reality of campaign finance and the "special interest" industry which made reversal or remediation impossible, and that was before the iphone, social, post-truth, alternative facts and the oligarchs came on the scene i was going to quit uverse and start fighting the streaming wars earlier this year i thank god every morning that i have nonshittified instant-on zero-fuckery linear tv that costs a fucking fortune except like last year when disney and att went to war
  8. new FJ is out at car show in Japan My first impression is it seems more like a Jeep Liberty or Bronco Sport I was surprised to learn It is as big as the FJ Cruiser, just 3 inches shorter front to back but 5 inches taller. If you jack it up and put some big tires on it you're not getting into many parking garages.
  9. Agreed, the perfect broadcast for me of a college football game is the all 22 with no commentators and only game/crowd noise. Just run the down and distance in the bottom, which players have subbed in and out and go from there. Get rid of the "news" shows, fuck Greenberg, and give me games and you can mix in the occasional 30 for 30.
  10. Where were you staying? I was refering to Ace of Spades and the Bryant Park Hotel.
  11. #4 Texas @ Florida 6:00 pm SECN.
  12. Maybe I was just too drunk, but it felt like anywhere we went I could throw a rock in any direction and hit at least 3 bagel spots. Pio bagel is just down the street and my wife liked it a lot. I’m not a bagel person, mainly because it would take a half dozen at least, but they looked good and there were a shit ton of options.
  13. Bottom line, it's how deals get done when the Rule of Law dies. Because the dirty secret is that the Rule of Law isn't the power to force courts to make people do what they promised. Having the Rule of Law and the courts there to enforce it is a REMINDER that we keep our word and follow through on our deals. The guy you signed a contract with to deliver your new Buick doesn't deliver the car because he's afraid of getting sued. He delivers it because....that's just what you do when you make a deal to deliver a car. Imagine a world where what deters people from killing someone is NOT the underlying ethic of "murder is wrong," but rather strictly the threat of suffering a reprisal killing from his family if you kill him. Well, you don't need to imagine much longer. That's where we're going.
  14. I just saw an article saying senate D are demanding one year of guaranteed health insurance subsidies… surely that’s not all?!
  15. Stefon is battling Tyreek to join Antonio Cromartie and Calvin Murphy on the most baby-mama Mount Rushmore.
  16. Oh man, I applaud your naive enthusiasm. You will be hearing from your oligarch overlords.
  17. Oh. Someone told him we have anti-trust laws. How amusing. It's okay - he managed to make it a xenophobic exercise. This regime turning everything into hating foreigners is like gratuitous sax solos in 80s songs - no matter what, it finds a way in there.
  18. Yep. It's like the Bocchicchio Clan "negotiator" from the Godfather, who was playing cards with Clemenza's men (and was being allowed to win) while Michael met with Solozo and the police captain. Spoilered so as not to threadjack too much.
  19. Ehh.. from a pure liability stand point it's better to let the dust settle. From a PR stand point letting the story spread in social media prior does not end up with you looking like a bad guy when your employee got stabbed. Combine them both and for a proper legal and social media CYA get all the facts, make sure the public is aware of facts, then make a move. We living in Murica and post on Surly. Legal and social media applications should be common knowledge round here. Wait, are you a lawyer?
  20. Let me clock the tea for a second: He wasn't the student body president that year but he did try to get her kicked out of school for a problematic halloween tho. #teacup #fingershand
  21. You live in Kentucky?
  22. 62. At least one source says he's a retired cop. Fucking perfection. He'll walk. Because see, his "years of training and experience" informed him that this was a threat, and he had no choice but to use lethal force to defend himself and his castle.
  23. Go byu Fuck Lubbock
