  1. Past hour
  2. This is just straight up nakedly autocratic conduct. This man should be rotting in prison for the rest of his life (or worse), not the PM of our chief Middle East ally. Netanyahu Ministers Vote to Dismiss Israeli Attorney General, Pending Top Court Ruling - Israel News - Haaretz.com Any Bibi defenders have an answer for this? @statsman? @Hitch? What you got?
  3. Agree with a lot of this but you are over simplifying and ignoring context. No serious person ever bitches about reporting of increased temps in the Gulf of Maine. Some may question the methodology of the temp data or question if the data is raw or smoothed, but most every serious person will agree with the findings to some degree. It is the opinion of what caused the increase or what that means for the future that is debatable. I remember the very old thread by MOP (I think) talking about the prediction of an ice free arctic. There was wide spread coverage of the issue. The implications were catastrophic. Now, a few decades later, Arctic ice extent is within a few percentage points of its mean and I haven't seen a show or read an article about arctic sea ice in years. My guess is that if someone did simply report that "for 2024 the arctic sea ice extent was within 5% of the historical average of testing" (which is true) that it would be met with conservative, climate denying slant/bias. Your last point is just too stupid. There is so much more information available today than in any point in the world's history. To suggest an "authoritarian" government can gut these entities is just ridiculous. The numbers are provided to everyone. The government has no control of the numbers or their dissemination. All of the data collected gets shared with the entire freaking world. The govt may get a first look but all the info gets out. If Trump decided tomorrow to completely eliminate the BLS, all of the information that the BLS publishes will still be available. Hell, AI could analyze payroll data of virtually every company in the world in almost real time and give us a much better picture of what is going on.
  4. Must be why those dems sent themselves home to prevent a vote on the release.
  5. I hope so. Her voice as governor would be amplified. The whole state would get to see her lunacy up close and every day. Let's just burn this whole country to the ground and televise it all.
  6. You would think they would after all of the times people have been gagging and coughing their asses off from smoke and fumes over the years on the show.
  7. thanks, fellas. yeah jimmy, the fmaj to amaj was a "unusual" but i loved the way it sounded back and forth and how unsettling it was. was just playing it back and forth on the piano on a rainy day and i was doing descending arps trying to find something and the a major over the f sounded rather pretty but obvious...and i wasn't going for that. i then did the e-c#-right to c over the inverted f of the main melodic motif and was immediately struck with the unsettling feel (i knew i was on to something when my wife yelled from the other room "ugh, don't play that again"). i felt like it would work well as a thematic tune for a psych thriller type show...something like a "severance." the other thing about the constant back and forth between the fmaj and amaj was what it did to the g and dmin chords. it made them feel so incredibly resolving in a cinematic way. i thought of this as a scoring "suite" off which different themes could be potentially developed for a movie/show for different characters/settings/etc... it is part of why the chords are screaming for a Bb min as part of the resolution but i don't give in...saving that for the prestige on some twist if you will. anyway, just a bit of fun. as a side note, i am doing a masterclass with alan meyerson on mixing in dolby atmos/immersive in november and i am thinking this would be a fun track to do as my project. i struggled with mixing it and am still not satisfied with how cluttered it feels in the heavy parts in the middle. feels like a good candidate for exploring the spatial audio elements to get the soundstage clarified on it.
  8. That’s good because if she was quite a bit younger than Taylor that would present a problem.
  9. Not one band camp joke? This site is getting soft
  10. Ole Miss, Tenneessee, aggy, and Florida have no business being ranked. It is clearly the SEC effect.
  11. Visionary genius here posting AI boobs.
  12. I can only add that last weekend, Sunday 1pm was no line at all but they were out of barbacoa.
  13. Mighta run into Grampa Manziel down in East Tennessee, at Tojo Nunnally's Coal Yard. Cock fights on Friday nights, dog fights Saturday. Plenty of law, wildcat whisky, ladies of ill repute, and fistfulls of cash.
  14. How do you get struck by thunder?
  15. Of course John Roberts had something to do with this shit: https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/04/politics/gerrymandering-supreme-court-texas#origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&cap=swipe,education&webview=1&dialog=1&viewport=natural&visibilityState=prerender&prerenderSize=1&viewerUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Famp%2Fs%2Fwww-cnn-com.cdn.ampproject.org%2Fc%2Fs%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2025%2F08%2F04%2Fpolitics%2Fgerrymandering-supreme-court-texas%3Fusqp=mq331AQIUAKwASCAAgM%25253D&amp_kit=1
  16. Racist little pigfucker, go fuck yourself.
  17. Tech picked 5th in the Big 12.
  18. My forecast
  19. The outstandingness of that post offsets the real plate deduction.
