  1. Yeah because the Russians are known for forgiving and forgetting.
  2. This is better than Christmas, and Ukraine couldn’t have asked for a better distraction than the drunk dude taking swings at the bouncers.
  3. Yeah I picked a shitty week to come to NYC. Being from LA, I’m very aware of what wildfires smell like, and it definitely has that smell. Before we landed I told my colleague that I had experienced every type of weather in my visits to New York. I was wrong, definitely wasn’t expecting this! (NYC is still amazing tho)
  4. At least they’ll pay for the impacted employees to move back. But yeah I know from first-hand experience a lot of employees quit rather than move to the shithole that is Florida. Many of them really loved working for Disney. And yes Chapek was/is a gigantic tool.
  5. Disney just fucked DeSantis even further: Disney Ends Plans to Relocate Thousands of Employees to New Florida Campus https://www.wsj.com/articles/disney-ends-plans-to-relocate-thousands-of-employees-to-new-florida-campus-ca68a49e?mod=mhp
  6. You underestimate just how shitty the weather is at the PAC schools outside of LA and the Bay Area.
  7. If basketball mattered at all to the networks, UConn would be in a much better conference.
  8. No, it really isn’t. But as we all know academics has fuck all to do with realignment.
  9. I think they are going to go the robot/technology route before going to immigration. It’s hard to emphasize enough just how insular Japanese society is.
  10. So is there even such a thing as a “moderate Republican “ anymore? Could the Dems and 5-10 centrist Republicans make a deal, nominate a regular Republican (if that’s a thing anymore) and blindside the lunatics? I’m sure this is wishful thinking.
  11. After months of haggling, UC regents finally bless UCLA’s move to the Big Ten https://www.latimes.com/sports/ucla/story/2022-12-14/uc-regents-finally-bless-ucla-move-to-the-big-ten Not surprising, given the massive $$$ UCLA is set to gain. Sorry Cal, you should have been better at sports.
  12. America hating WNBA activist? He misspelled “black lesbian”.
  13. All I can say is thank god California doesn’t do run-offs. We’d be here until February.
  14. Laura Loomer is not a good drag name. She should be “Trixie Shenanigans” or something like that.
  15. Ah I see. I think with Caleb Williams and the SC name, I think they’d probably go to another NY6 bowl.
  16. Say what? If SC wins by even 1 point they are a lock for the CFP.
  17. Whynotboth.gif And quite frankly many of the electric cars coming out are better than Teslas. It’s Tesla’s charging network that is unsurpassed.
  18. Oh yeah I would never trust this car to “self-drive” and I won’t trust cruise control. Lol at the suckers who paid $15k for the opportunity for their car to kill them.
  19. We have a Tesla (Model Y) that we got last year and so far it’s been a good, fun car. Our problem has been the random phantom braking when it is in cruise control mode, but in LA we very rarely use any self-driving/cruise control features. I will say Elon’s bullshit has put me off buying another one, I’ll just get one of the many EVs coming out from Rivian, Hyundai, Volvo,Ford etc. Anecdotally my friend is selling his Model X because a) the car and the gullwing doors are annoying as fuck and b) he hates where Elon has gone politically. Don’t know how many Tesla owners know or care about Elon’s politics, but it has to be more than a few.
  20. I’m pretty sure you mean “freedom dumplings”.
  21. Gettin ready to go tailgate on the Rose Bowl golf course. Got the grill, asada for the nachos, a shit ton of booze, and a tv to watch the other cfb games. Favorite Saturday of the year. Go Bruins!
  22. The commission draws both congressional and state legislative maps.
  23. Look, as a CA resident I can see why others say “it’s not fair” to have a blue state like CA have a relatively fair process for drawing political districts while red states like FL and TX have criminally been gerrymandered. But the bigger “big picture” is that I don’t want to live in a state drawn to the benefit of/by/for a single political party. Giving the Democrats that much power in CA wouldn’t be good for our state. Even with these fair districts 75-80% of the CA congressional delegation will be Dems. The answer shouldn’t have to be go back to gerrymandering the shit out CA/CO/WA etc. districts. Maybe the Dem party in states like TX and FL should stop sucking so fucking hard.
