It will be hilarious if CA has updated maps for 2026 and TX does not.

The Diplomat (Netflix) - Keri Russell, Rufus Sewell
wild_turkey replied to wild_turkey's topic in Movies and TV
The minor frustration I had with that part was that everything moved a little too quickly. The pres and VP were have a late night discussion about strategy, then by the following day, the sub had already been photographed and the weapon retrieved. It also seems a bit foolish that the pres and VP would think they could pull that off and somehow keep it a secret. Callum was immediately aware that something had happened. Didn't they realize that the very same intelligence sources that alerted them to the presence of the sub in the first place would also be capable of knowing the weapon had been moved? When it comes to rebuilding trust, they just keep digging that hole deeper. -
Searched and didn’t find a thread, just sporadic mentions in the Netflix meta thread (which is awful for discussion). The show deserves its own thread. Season 1 trailer provided for anyone unfamiliar with the show who might be interested in starting it. There are 3 seasons available now, so probably best not to read beyond this point if you haven’t seen all of them. Curious what others think. I like the show quite a bit and think a lot of the characters are well written. Especially like Stuart, Eidra, Dennison, and Todd Penn. I get a little tired of Hal at times, but I think that’s supposed to be the case. Kate and Hal seemed to have a dead marriage from the start that existed purely for political and career reasons, so I enjoy the show more when they aren’t forcing themselves to be together and the other plots can be front and center. The second half of season 3 was great. The coverup hits a little close to home with the current political landscape, but I enjoyed the different characters’ involvement and some of their reactions and moral struggles with it all (or seemingly lack thereof).

For whatever reason, they do not seem to have the ability to do this or else it would’ve been their first move months ago and we would’ve already been fed the falsified version. It’s the easy out that they haven’t taken, which could only be because it’s not actually a viable option.

Gotta love the daily reminder that we are winning bigly on affordability and stopping men in women’s sports and transgender for everyone. I was starting to worry that grocery prices were going up and I might get my dick chopped off at my next primary care visit. Looks like everything will be okay after all.

Pluribus - Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn
wild_turkey replied to gofuckyourself's topic in Movies and TV
Really liking this show. I’m predicting some combination of the following: -Carol gets pissed off and intentionally uses her ability to freak out on the hive and cause them to shut down, killing many more in the process. -They respond to this by confining her to some kind of sound proof room for the mutual protection of Carol and the hive. -Carol needs the help of another unconverted human to escape her confinement. -At some point, she discovers more than just 12 unconverted people. -Season 2 will include efforts to cure people and restore them to their original form. -
This is incredible.

I know someone really close to the Bill Cosby case and they said that he wasn't into rape. He just liked the fantasy of nonconsensual sex. But his partners always said yes after receiving quaaludes. Maybe a few of them forgot their safe word and I realize that could be misconstrued by some people as date rape, but they never said no, at least not after they unknowingly consumed sedatives. They never said no. It may have looked legal to a passerby.

It’s nice having a show like this that is actually worthy of some discussion between episodes. It helps that Apple still slow releases the episodes. -
Since when is funding schools a priority?

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
wild_turkey replied to Bozo_Casanova's topic in Cloak Room
The timing isn’t terrible in retrospect. The shutdown is over which allows the media to move on from that, to immediately be replaced by new Epstein information. Mike Johnson had to swear in Rep Grijalva and away we go. Whether it was planned that way or not, we’ll probably never know. -
Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
wild_turkey replied to Bozo_Casanova's topic in Cloak Room
Yeah, I get all of that, but for the 6 Democrat senators who voted to end the shutdown, was there a hidden agenda pertaining to the Epstein files, or was that merely coincidence? -

Does the abrupt ending of the government shutdown have anything to do with the Epstein files or purely coincidence that they are happening in the same week? -
For anyone who has paid any attention to him, he’s an awful human being who frequently posts racist and inflammatory shit online.

Like pretty much everything in life, Trump has no idea how much health insurance actually costs. Even if the government gave everyone a $2,000 tariff rebate, it would hardly make a dent in healthcare costs for most families. It would probably result in insurance companies further increasing premiums, using government subsidies to fatten the corporations, leaving the average American even worse off, all while paying increased retail prices on everything else because of tariffs. Or we could, you know, do Medicare for all and cut the health insurance companies out of the picture and try to start driving healthcare costs down a little bit. But that would benefit poor people at the expense of the investing class, so of course not.
