  1. This is pretty amazing. What’s wild is they could decide to move on from Paul Mullen if they get promoted. If they get promoted, they need to get some Americans on the team next year. Sargent, Haji, CCV types.
  2. Hot take..... Maeve is the "grass" and is working some sort of revenge angle on Brosnan and the family. Someone tipped them to where that dude's body was buried. Also, I'm not sure the grandkid did the murder unless I nodded off in the first episode. He hasn't admitted it fully yet, right?
  3. The new USS Callister somehow went first on my Netflix. It was good. The Rashida Jones one was excellent but super dark and worrisome because, well, something like that is bound to happen. Although Upload kinda did it first in a way when it stole its idea from San Junipero. See how idea theft comes back full circle? Bete Noir was silly, but I enjoyed it.
  4. I mean, the sample size for top 5 picks is, what, Danny Ferry and Christian Laettner (who was a several time all star) >30 years ago? I'd suggest Redick, Grayson Allen, and even Luke Kennard outplayed their draft position over the course of their career.
  5. Dope Thief has been really good. I am a little confused as to some plot/motivations. But imagine things will become clear.
  6. They represented Dominion against Fox et al and made a cool few hundred million on the settlement.
  7. Susman Godfrey, who made nine figures on a contingency fee in the Dominion case, just got EO’d. They will fight. They don’t have a transactional group that will lose deals.
  8. I always wonder with guys like Ian Jackson if they got Maalik Murphy'd and essentially constructively "released" via a material reduction in NIL money. It's always hard to know when someone enters the portal. Duke fans were killing Murphy when he entered the portal, then come to find out, Duke basically told him he should (whether explicitly or implicitly).
  9. I wasn’t joking above. We are playing three teams that need to win, so it won’t be exhibition basketball. Put Reed and Cam in there to both see what you have and build trade value for this summer. Give them both >25 minutes each game.
  10. This is so fucking dumb, but his followers will believe it. They are promising $100M, or whatever, in pro bono services. I am not defending these law firms from caving... it's cowardice. But if you read what Paul Weiss or Skadden, for instance, agreed to, they aren't really doing anything they wouldn't be anyway outside killing their DEI programs. To put it in perspective, $100M at the highest available rates (which is what will be applied) is 50-100 hours per lawyer at a firm like Paul Weiss or Skadden (and it's probably less given how rates are going up). Over number of years, that's already happening. But it's not like they are cutting $100M checks to the government. The partnership would revolt. This is all performative by dear leader. Still, it will be interesting to see if there is a stigma in recruiting associates (both lateral and out of law school). I think there will be. I think if a collection of firms, starting with the 20 or so on the EEOC list that haven't caved, could unify on this, it could really create some noise. I'll be interested to see how the EEOC letters get addressed. Managing partners/firm CEOs of the Biglaw firms get together and talk on lots of things. They have conferences to share ideas, they self-insure together, etc. My guess is most will ignore or quietly respond to the EEOC letters. But there is opportunity here to do something significant. I won't hold my breath.
  11. Without a coach they are going to be running in Circles. That is unless they have a White Iverson waiting in the wings. I really don't think it will be Better Now, and Joker should probably Leave next year and say his Goodbyes.
  12. Kinda pissed they moved away from the tone of the show. That was fucking heavy. Like they tacked on a Tarantino ending that weirdly seemed predictable. Who is going to that resort now? Would have preferred something random and funny I guess like Coolidge trying to jump off the boat and smack her head on the rail on the way over. Or Murray Bartlett taking a dump in the asshole’s room before getting accidentally stabbed. Seemed like a different show. oh well.

    So as fucking cheesy and ridiculous and dumb as that was about 50 minutes into this last episode…. It still got to me. Dammit.
  14. Me watching the finale…..
  15. SaaS software is export controlled. It’s gonna be interesting. Every click through to buy a salesforce instance comes with a 25% tax, perhaps? Don’t know how ads might work.
  16. It’s zealot isolationist/racist/xenophobes combining powers with vulture capitalists licking their chops to buy distressed assets. It’s a perfect storm of idiots and greedy fucking billionaires.
  17. McCasland on deck? Honestly, I wonder if they'll go after Drew.
  18. It's Taylor Sheridan: London, but I enjoyed it. It appears to be less over the top than Gangs of London which I enjoyed. Gangs of London made London seem like Caracas with nicer cloths and cars.
  19. I saw that movie. It had that ex-UT SNL person (pre-Dismukes) that didn't last that long on the show. I don't think Britt was in that scene you are talking about, but could be wrong, but the SNL alum was. They both have red hair.
  20. Could OKC do it without Chet? I feel like I’d take FVV (after picking up option) and any two young guys other than Amen plus picks and it would be pretty good. Where is OKC matching salary? Harrenstein, Joe and Cason Wallace? I feel like the player package we’d be willing to do is going to be better even if picks aren’t even close. But again…. Pipe dream.
  21. Green’s trajectory isn’t horribly off of Booker’s. Booker was the quintessential good stats bad team guy until he wasn’t. I think Giannis asks out after the season and Milwaukee isn’t going anywhere anyways. If that happens, godfather offer the Bucks. That’s my pipe dream anyway.
