  1. our other league is 6pm pt tomorrow, so we'll have to work around that.
  2. vegas is cabs only. ubers leave a digital trail. get it together, rookies.
  3. correa’s free agency was a colossal goatfuck.
  4. this shit right here. i'm tired of reading stories about the country's collective amnesia about the trump presidency. i remember it. pepperidge farms remembers it.
  5. something something texas longhorn national champs?
  6. a parent going through mental difficulty? it’s happening right now.
  7. there's a large group of americans who have identified as (r) for a long time, probably because their parents were, and have been so turned off by politics (ironically, because of people like trump), that they are purposely disinterested and disengaged. so when they vote (r), they don't even have to hold their nose. they purposely don't follow it, they don't talk politics with their friends, they distract themselves with family, kids, reality tv, whatever, and haven't paid attention in 10-15+ years. there's no possible way 75mm people know what trump is all about and are like, cool, i'll pick him. no fucking way.
  8. context or not, the bloodbath situation really helped, and here's why. trump's rallies have been batshit cult 1930's germany style for months now, but nobody was reporting about it. there was actually more reporting on why it wasn't getting reported more, but hardly anyone was talking about it. i even posted a longcat twitter thread (on here or on the downfall thread) weeks ago listing out and showing video of the 16 things he does at every rally. and everyone was like, "shit, if people could just see how crazy this really is, it would help the cause." well now that he said bloodbath, it's become a story. it snatched up 2-3 cycles and it's still alive. whether he meant the auto industry or not is 100% immaterial. we finally broke through and have msm talking about it and it's all over twitter, and finally gotten picked up by the non-msnbc's of the world. now more reporters will suck it up and go to rallies to find the next "bloodbath" moment. and captain dipshit is actually enjoying the extra publicity, and going on his wacko shows and discussing it more - as a feature, not a glitch, because trump doesn't ever make a gaffe. so he's actually fueling the fire, and likely thinking up his next bloodbath moment. he's whipping his base into a frenzy, which is what he does. they get more passionate, but these are the same people at the rallies again and again, and they're much smaller, and in off-brand towns. and with any luck, it will continue like this for the next 7 months. since the sotu, the trending has been really fucking strong in the direction we need it to be. shit, they're not even talking about him being a doddering old man shuffling around the basement anymore. they're running stories about him being hopped up on something. all because he didn't appear old and stumbling which somehow didn't match up against the woodward-and-bernstein-style crack investigative journalism researched by (checks notes) the same hacks that ran with the senile-old-man narrative the past 6 months. they even got an incidental assist from snl. i felt good in october. i feel great in march. let's fucking go.
  9. gonna make trump’s broke ass defend fl and tx. lol.
  10. cool, because i wanted to never sleep again.
  11. yeah, apple has been all about quality since launch. you can also include severance on that list for 2026.
  12. i was pleasantly surprised looking up and down the lineup at some of our offensive stats. typically our bats are cold from march until may.
  13. pair that with our typically cold bats out of the gate and should make for a fun april.
  14. to be fair, i would assume he still "wants $200m+"
  15. pitchers falling like quarterbacks.
  16. keep it roto. h2h doesn’t work in small leagues. just flip a coin and do one league or the other.
  17. regardless of how small or stupid the font was, it still should fill the tv screen at home. it didn't. it was basically a concert with stuff going on in the background. matthew perry, arguably the guy you end on, was barely given a moment.
  18. you should see the movie, it's great. colin farrell can do no wrong.
  19. we're 4 episodes in and i generally like it. i don't love that the past couple episodes have been super-formulaic just presenting them with a task to get from a to b, like a heist movie, and then pulling it off. it follows his early movie script notes of a bunch of gangster dudes doing a bunch of gangster shit - just them getting themselves into and out of trouble. also there's no chance that the asian weed grower would also be the driver for an operation that big. his storyline is a little silly but i'm assuming a good payoff, with ritchie generally does well. that and eddie's half-assed plan to get them off the property (seems pricey) because he's going to make them even more money (but he doesn't explain how) by way of moving them to another property (also seems pricey and time-consuming) doesn't really make sense at all. eddie's character seems more like a "go along to get along" type anyway, but whatever. style over substance works for guy ritchie so i'll stay invested until the end.
