Bugonia - Yorgos, Emma Stone, Jesse Plemmons
Saw it Saturday night. Hoo boy that was an interesting ride. Fun to watch and some outside the box thinking makes it worth seeing. I think some of you are either going to really enjoy it or not like it at all. I don't see much middle ground on a film like this. -

Small Claims Court - Advice Megathread
It’s possible, but it won’t be automatic. Submit an open records request (under the Texas Public Information Act if you’re in Texas) covering that specific date and time. If it’s denied, you now have the denial to show they denied the request. Once you’ve filed your small claims case, bring this to the attention of the judge and ask for a subpoena for the video. It is prudent to do both - it gets them on record and should also preserve the video. -

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Rod Babers has a good quote he pulls out from time-to-time about football being a constant struggle between who you want to be and who you need to be in order to win. Whoever said that is right and it applies to Sark and every coach. We're witnessing sunk cost fallacy unraveling. This is not unique to Sark, every coach, and every one of us has succumbed to it: "They're only offering how much for our house?! Let's let them walk and hold out for a better offer..." "My raise should have been larger, but the benefits here are good and finding a new job in this economy is tough..." "We've put $1M into this project and it's now 18 months behind schedule with little to no hope of finishing. Let's try putting just a few more months of time and money into and see if we can turn it around." "We made this acquisition of a company whose product should be an easy upsell for our sales team. It's been 5 years and it's not working. Let's keep trying, we paid so much for it." The difference is that 1) Sark gets to go through it in front of all of us and 2) we get to be neutral outside observers who don't have the sunk cost to trap us. The sunk cost for Sark is his belief in himself and what he thought the team was, and all the work they put in during the Spring and Summer install to get there. Turns out that didn't work and now it's adaptation time. The adaptations are working, for now. But just like the couple who really really really wants to hold out for the better offer on their house (which isn't coming because they overpriced it), Sark is having trouble letting go of his vision for this year's team. Hopefully seeing the offense come to life will cause him to shrug his shoulders and say "welp, they apparently can't do the stuff I wanted but they can do this other stuff, so let's do more of that." UN-fortunately, the reason Sark wanted to stick with his original install is because it gives us more chess moves against high-end competition. The current version of the offense works vs. Vandy and MSU; it won't work the same vs. UGA. But partially working is better than doing nothing at all so... -

2025 - 2026 Astros Offseason Thread
trade him !!! 36. Christian Walker, 1B, Astros | $40MM through 2027 Speaking of Walker, it seems there’s a good chance Houston will try to take a mulligan on this contract in the offseason. The Astros reacquired Carlos Correa at the trade deadline and will install him as their everyday third baseman. That pushes Isaac Paredes off his position. Paredes has some experience at second base but is a better fit at first base. Plus, Houston has to decide where Jose Altuve will play. After saying he’d play left field primarily in 2025, Altuve struggled enough on the grass that he split his time pretty evenly between his new position and his traditional spot at second base. One could argue that the move here is to trade Paredes, not Walker. He’d fetch a return of some note, whereas the Astros would need to pay down some of Walker’s salary after he turned in a .238/.297/.421 batting line. Walker popped 27 homers, but his overall production was about average on a rate basis, thanks largely to that meager .297 on-base percentage. And, after years of ranking as one of the best defensive first basemen in all of MLB, his defensive grades plummeted in his new surroundings. There’s no easy way to alleviate this logjam of pricey players, but eating some of Walker’s contract and finding a new home for him would be the best path toward fielding a complete roster in 2026. Walker may very well bounce back — he hit .264/.318/.489 (123 wRC+) in his final 305 plate appearances — but Paredes is younger, more affordable and offers more reliable offense.
