  1. Past hour
  2. Every time I listen to Elko I'm left with the impression that he's not very bright, but the guy has a degree from Penn. Very interesting Quaker indeed.
  3. Now THESE are ties….
  4. First cut I ever heard from Sabbath was 'Electric Funeral'. It blew my little 'raised on top-40'*** mind. The music and the vocals were like nothing I had ever heard. I will never forget that moment. I was listening to Paranoid this past weekend and wondering when Ozzy's time was coming. RIP. *** top-40 in the 70s wasn't too bad though.
  5. The guy who played Willis on Different Strokes was once a famous actor and very few people remember that.
  6. So how does Dave Chapelle's creative freedom dovetail with Isaiah Bond's legal troubles?
  7. She already had to come to heel on 702 to secure confirmation. Warrant requirements would be nice though.
  8. bring back The Man Show!!!
  9. Really? The tie is what grabbed you? Not the head of Otto the Auto-Pilot?
  10. More arrest than wins since they won their natty.
  11. Looks like word of Calicut's malfeasance has finally reached Atlanta. Or maybe Kirby decided to let the local media acknowledge it in their typical know-nothing fashion. https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/harris-county-crime-teen-killed-weekend-pool-party-was-charged-july-6-road-rage-incident?utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwQ0xDSwLt0JxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHg4MLgBkGNYKEwu2i09bmoBz11KgjjE03HftFPDZsooWIlekkLM-WE_-d_xi_aem_N-LB_SGJ_Ev9f--NlDCgfw#8c6g8s5171xnf1vlbqf1cpycs1xee1uc
  12. That poor Airman had a worse day.
  13. Um ... Wild Video Shows Robot Changing Its Own Battery https://futurism.com/the-byte/video-robot-changing-its-own-battery
  14. But the vets they have aint the type of guys you want leading. CP does resolve that.
  15. “No, never convicted…” or “There’s at least Tree Fiddy of us!” instead of “we rise”, etc
  16. That tie. Jfc
  17. Too many heads still connected to too many chickens.
  18. USC has multiple dudes signed for 5 million this cycle. Sure, it's spread out over years. But the point is, there is no limit. Hence the whole NOW Y'ALL GET THE IDEA part of my post. There will come a kid who makes a 5 million a year deal with some school.
  19. I just want to know if it can sing "Daisy" as you deprogram it.
  20. The *only* political comment I'll make here is that NASA has done more than enough to "get away from their science mission" on their own. There's lots of wasteful spending, poor contractor management, "non-primary-mission" programs, etc. Having said that, yes - if dedicated to primary exploration and overseen by budgetary hawks, I'm 100% in favor of an increased budget. But right now, there's little to no accountability and a sense of entitlement that isn't helping anything. (political rant over, apologies)
  21. UUUU sp jumped because they’re right in the middle of the rare earths game and our country (finally) is focused on reducing our dependence on foreign sources for REE. Energy Fuels is also the largest U.S. uranium provider. Big tech will need a >lot< of power for AI and nuclear power is the perfect match. The stock is just beginning to move with all kinds of upside. If you’ve held UUUU for some time (like me), perhaps, reconsider selling. Don’t want you kicking yourself when UUUU sp is higher at the EOY.
  22. Letterman’s 2014 ratings were about 2.8 million viewers(one of his worst statistical years), almost triple of the current late show version. Assuming 12 years of inflation, Letterman was probably cheaper to produce and faced less competition for add dollars. They were profitable even while paying Letterman $14 million a year The whining about the cancellation is wild, economics/ratings be damned. Stewart out there crying that CBS should keep paying $20 million to Steve to lose $40million, that’s called job security. I wonder if Steve offered to take a pay cut to try to help keep his staff and crew employed? The Late Show is the WNBA of entertainment at the moment. Pay him what he’s worth! The difference will be that the W will turn a profit this year, Steven not so much.

    Ozzy has passed.

    Yeah, I was not a super huge Ozzy fan. Black Sabbath was mostly before my time, and I was always more interested in the guitarists on Ozzy's solo albums than I was in Ozzy himself. So since the news, I've been trying to pin down what made Ozzy the popular icon he is. For someone who represented a musical genre, he really didn't do much to define it. I mean, he didn't have an objectively great singing voice. He didn't compose the music or write the lyrics that were responsible for this new musical genre and which made him famous. I think he maybe only came up with some of the vocal melodies in his Sabbath and solo catalog. Musically, he was a front man in the most cynical use of the word. A figurehead who attained heights with a lot of others creativity doing most of the heavy lifting. And he had this whole career outside of making music that was engineered primarily by his wife. So what made Ozzy an icon? Ultimately, I think it was that Ozzy was Ozzy and nothing more or less. The Alamo-pissing, bat-head-biting Prince of Darkness. And people of a certain age and social standing loved him for it. He was the square peg to society's round hole who really had no capacity to be anything notable in established and traditional ways. So he lived life without much regard for if or how it might line up to anyone else's expectations and damn if he didn't wind up digging himself a hell of a square hole to exist in. That's something that resonates, man. Timelessly, across generations. Its the struggle of all young people coming of age and wondering how they could possibly become anything of note in a world that they seem to live on the fringes of. If Ozzy could do it, they can do it.
