  1. Trump won by 12, Dems flipped it. State House election, but still, interesting.
  2. I’m enjoying seeing him decline both at his rally and in his social media posts. The fact that he’s telling all of us that for some reason he’s having to take cognitive tests with rooms full of doctors is awesome. It’s gonna be fun to see how MAGA handles his decline.
  3. Now the Richie Rich series on Netflix had an actual robot maid, as befitting the comics. should be right at her intro
  4. As a kid, I had lots of thoughts of what robots could be used for based on this show. And I always liked to think of it as what kicked off Battlestar Galactica. As an adult, it’s creepy as fuck when you realize the age of the son. And then The Family Guy went there.
  5. Ughh..only 55. Knew this was coming, my wife liked her books. https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/books/2025/12/10/sophie-kinsella-dead-confessions-of-a-shopaholic-author/74013655007/ Sophie Kinsella, the USA TODAY bestselling English rom-com author of the "Shopaholic" series, has died. She was 55. Kinsella's family announced her death in a post to Instagram Dec. 10: "We are heartbroken to announce the passing this morning of our beloved Sophie (aka Maddy, aka Mummy). She died peacefully, with her final days filled with her true loves: family and music and warmth and Christmas and joy ….. Kinsella announced in April 2024 that she had been diagnosed with glioblastoma, a form of aggressive brain cancer, at the end of 2022. She said she had undergone a "successful" surgery and continued to receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy at the University College Hospital in London.
  6. Getting Lee Pace was the best thing they did. I’m still shocked that we got as many seasons as we did,
  7. I hope you all watched The Offer on Paramount, about making The Godfather.
  8. He’s fucking terrified of The NY Times for some reason. Really terrified. He’s trying to get somebody to do something about them. Wonder what they know and if they’ll wait to share it until he’s out of office.
  9. Yes. Along with Reddit, YouTube, etc.
  10. Going to kill off a lot of tourism, hurt the airlines, hurt all kinds of businesses.
  11. The fact that we are still guessing and debating it this late in the season is pretty good writing.
  12. So an African-American is pissed that African-Americans are voting?
  13. Probably. The center of gravity did seem a little off, and the arming mechanism was non-existent based on my recollections as a kid launching balsa wood airplanes with lit pop bottle rockets attached to the wings. And the result was fairly close to mine, only I yelled “fuck” in English.
  14. Go after the Catholics Ole Donnie Boy Pope Leo XIV: “I haven’t read the whole thing. I think, unfortunately, some parts of it that I have seen make a huge change in what was for many, many years a true alliance between Europe and the United States. The remarks that were made about Europe also in interviews recently, I think, are trying to break apart what I think needs to be a very important alliance today and in the future.“
  15. Now that we know that racism pays for even poor white trash, how long until we get somebody else dropping the n-word on video like that?
  16. https://www.threads.com/@allenanalysis/post/DSCymTDgjek BREAKING: A hot mic at Kristi Noem’s event caught TSA agents admitting they’re “terrified” of their own leadership and too exhausted to live normal lives.The administration is selling stability.Its own workforce is whispering collapse.
  17. No, those were invented to help the non-book reading audience deal with the fact that this series takes place over thousands of years. I think it's actually a pretty good addition, as the audience could not keep all of the emperors straight from the book.
  18. Lord of the Rings did a fantastic job but was constrained by time limits and Jackson has said as much many time (we won't talk about The Hobbit movies). There are deviations that were absolutely brilliant. When Frodo holds the ring in front of Aragorn and Aragorn closes his hand around Frodo's hand and tells him he would have went to Mordor, that was not directly in the book (Aragon never ran into Frodo after Boromir tried to take the ring if I recall) but it was an amazing line and scene that summed up Aragorn perfectly. Aragorn was not afraid of the ring but afraid of himself if he were to take possession of it. And my LOTR fanatical middle-schooler mentioned that the ring on Aragorn's hand was an ancient ring given by somebody to their friend (Aragorn's ancestor I'm assuming) to illustrate their loyalty and friendship, so you see that ring of loyalty and friendship closing over The Ring. Jackson was doing deep dives on symbolism. Jackson was the perfect person to take it from the pages to the screen (sorry Bakshi, I know you never got your full chance).
  19. @PTINS we haven't forgotten you. Ukraine seems to be able to take facilities offline for longer periods of time, or facilities are burning for longer periods, and/or Russia is running out of parts. Russia's Syzran oil refinery halted by December 5 drone attack, sources say | Reuters The Ukrainian SBU reports that the Temryuk LNG port in Russia, Krasnodar region, suffered substantial damage. The fire, which was caused by a drone strike on December 5, raged for around 3 days and destroyed 20 out of 30 fuel tanks. In addition, the drones destroyed railway tanks, an intermediate filling tank and a rainwater overflow station
  20. 80s Me if I knew Ukrainians would be using F-16s to kill Russians: Germany continues to build up, buying European-made weapons. I'd be willing to bet a lot more weapons purchases by NATO going forward will be European or Korean and not American.
