  1. This is making the rounds of the socials. Black Monday talk. For the financial historians, any accuracy to it?
  2. I don’t know of any movie recently where kids are asking to go with their friends like the Minecraft movie. Dogman, a few. But nothing else in years.
  3. So it seems like the first teaser or whatever really tweaked some of the purist types, but the last trailer or two won them over, plus word of mouth from the YouTubers who saw sneak previews and who were actually in it. And they are going to be pissed if there’s not a sequel because the last scene with Steve meeting Alex got them going.
  4. Minecraft is still insanely popular right now. I remember blowing it off when it came out many years ago, but here we are in 2025 and my middle schooler and his friends are running their own servers, spending birthday money on Hypixel, playing after school with each other, etc. and then there are all of the Lego arts, the other toys etc.
  5. Tell me you’ve never been around high school athletic events in Texas, without telling me you’ve never been around high school athletic events in Texas.
  6. It’s not quite the sequel I wanted, but it’ll hit the streaming platform within a year of release so I’ll watch.
  7. You’re confusing Superman with Batman.
  8. So we went and saw it, and while my middle-schooler who plays Minecraft like crazy had reservations from the first trailer, he absolutely loved the movie. Naming the kid Henry was brilliant, I think my kid knows about half-a-dozen Henrys in middle school. It’s like the Chris or Michael or Jason from my childhood. I don’t know if Momoa carried it, but he had the biggest character arc and he was great
  9. My 60s folk music education consists of liking Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter, Paul, and Mary because we had to do it in elementary and because there was an animated movie or something. Would I like Dylan?
  10. We are partnered with them whether you want to or not - the computer or tablet or phone you typed that on had a lot of components made by Chinese companies. Let's not kid ourselves, they are willing to use children, and we all know that children are much more adept at assembling small things because of their small fingers.
  11. How about the taxpayers don't pay their hospital bills and if they somehow have health insurance, they aren't lumped in with our coverage?
  12. Naming a town in Texas "Lone Star" is lazy as fuck, unless it's the corporate HQ for Lone Star beer.
  13. Yeah, and they are definitely going for the color palette from the comics. The robots are literally from the comic run that this is based on, down to the design of them. Gunn is fully embracing the comic books, and that may not be for everybody obviously. Marvel really avoided that for a lot of their movies, outside of the first Captain America, and the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Maybe the Spidey movies.
  14. They made a birthday cake for the guy who designed the Cybertruck?
  15. Wondered if this was going to piss off the gaming crowd, and yep, it will. Statement from Nintendo: Statement from Nintendo: Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged.
  16. Tesla is down almost $30, about %9 and it's only 11am Eastern time.
  17. The Dow is already down 1500 this morning. That seems like a decent amount.
  18. When countries like Canada say they need to find new trading partners to replace the US…if they find them, they aren’t coming back to us, at least not in the next four years. And this had the potential to really turbofuck a lot of poor people - the people who are least equipped to handle it.
