  1. Raskin wants a piece too.
  2. Meanwhile, on Fox News: There's not a single word on the entire site, that I could find, about the hearing today.
  3. Wordle 914 3/6 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  4. Agree that the trailer doesn't look great, but is that an indictment on the show, or the people who made the trailer? Hell if I know, but here's the trailer for The Pacific for comparison:
  5. "Remains to be seen" is such a weird phrase to me. It remains to be seen whether anyone can stay healthy, or refine a shot, or develop a defensive presence, stay out of legal trouble, or anything. It's literally in the future! Everyfuckingthing remains to be seen.
  6. Yeah, we all know PETA sucks. There's no need to feed a fed horse here.
  7. Cleaning shower stalls at a 24Hr truck stop. What do I win?
  8. Oh, they've got you covered.. https://www.peta.org/teachkind/lesson-plans-activities/animal-friendly-idioms/
  9. The thing is, there is actual evidence suggesting that shorter men are at a disadvantage in presidential elections. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1048984312000884 So, I suppose an argument could be made that Ron is doing this to overcome a societal bias, rather than his own insecurity. That argument would be bullshit (it's both) but you could make it.
  10. The article posted above explains it better than I could, but the bottom line is that he's not using custom made/modified boots. He's simply tossing in aftermarket heel lifts into his off the rack boots.
  11. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/10/31/desantis-boots-shoemakers-00121044
  12. I know we'll eventually get to talking about the movie, but this has reminded me of one of my favorite clips. This is from the documentary about the making of the West Side Story soundtrack. The tenor here is not just some guy who fought through the audition process, it is Jose fucking Carreras here, just getting humbled.
  13. All joking aside, do you think Bob Woodward is annoyed that he's not being included in this flick? Doesn't seem fair.
  14. Yeah, and people make a big deal about the Star Wars Theme and Jaws, but for my money he was best when he was writing the score for Presumed Innocent.
  15. Fuck yeah there are. I mean, maybe not every one could hum you Candide or Jeremiah, but who doesn't know West Side Story? He's not the 1st great American composer though.
  16. Live look-in on the Vikings Raiders game:
  17. The "Objectionable vernacular with benign origin" thread is over there.
  18. Lame BDSM jokes aside, I appreciate the discussion. When I was approached yesterday I was filled with anxiety because I thought: Shit, now what? If a term like "grandfathered" can get past my decades of using it, now what? I've always tried to be mindful of the words I use, and the obvious ones are easy. But if that one can slip past, what else am I saying that I shouldn't be? I think the bottom line here is to try to be mindful that these terms and idioms are out there, but realize that we're not going to catch them all. We just need to be thoughtful and responsive when it's brought to our attention.
  19. I usually play the slave, but there's always a safe word!
  20. What about the master bedroom? Is that a thing too?
