  1. He can’t terminate and pay the break fee period; it’s a reverse break fee triggered by Twitter terminating the agreement as a result of Elon committing a material breach or failing to close when otherwise required (presumably failure of financing). He’s purportedly exercising his customary termination right resulting from a breach by Twitter that would result in a condition failure (failure to comply with covenants in all material respects). There are some other throw away arguments in the letter as well. I suspect he has a losing (albeit plausible on its face) argument and Skadden knows that, but I question whether Twitter had the stomach and resources to fight. In their ideal world, I think they’d like to take a large settlement and keep the company public.
  2. My wife and I saw this last year, at age 33. I loved it. She thought the female lead was unrealistic/devoid of depth and clearly written by a male writer.
  3. On the one hand, having a team with KAT, Gobert and Russel is just incredibly ripe for an epic let down. On the other hand, Anthony Edwards is awesome and may be a top 10 player in the league within 5 years, so who knows. They do need to ship out Russel asap. Dude is not a winning player and does nothing but steal on ball time from Edwards. Incredible they gave up Wiggins and the Kuminga pick for him.
  4. That is a great trade for the Celtics. Give up scrubs and a late first round pick absent a total collapse.
  5. Nahlin is a certified cunt regardless of his sourcing. Gerry is worth the price of admission.
  6. -90% of poster during the first two years of Strong and first two years of Herman (and probably first two years of Mack reset). I too am excited.
  7. Idk, those 2015-2016 teams were awesome. Draymond and Klay were both so much better, and Iguadala was a beast. Then they had guys like Barbosa, Livingston and David Lee on the bench. Agree that Wiggins > Barnes
  8. I’m going to cheat and omit Russell, West, Chamberlain, and Oscar (so basically 70s-2022). MJ, Kareem, LeBron, Magic, Bird, Duncan, Kobe, Steph, Hakeem, Shaq, Durant. Depending on the development of Pool, Kuminga, and Wiseman and how long guys like Dray and Klay can stay competitive, Steph might not be done.
  9. Patriots and/or Spurs, with Curry playing the role of Brady/Duncan. Different permutations of the franchise, with one all time great steadying force.
  10. Yep, insane. He’s been unreal. That said, this series is going 7. As you say, a long way to go.
  11. Your mom should have swallowed you, fuck face
  12. If you watch this game, and all you can do is bitch about refs, just quit watching the NBA.
  13. Hah, what an ending. I thought he didn’t get it off live. Steph was due a clunker, but the Ws need to get something from him points wise in the 4th to have a good shot.
  14. Ugly game so far. Warriors probably feel good to have an 8 point lead with Curry struggling thus far.
  15. Lol, you really need to give up, Skip.
  16. Curry has been outrageous in these finals. He might end up getting the LeBron 2017-18 treatment where an incendiary individual performance is outmatched by a better team, but fuck it’s impressive to watch. He’s doing this against probably the best all around defensive team in the league.
  17. I was listening to the Big Picture yesterday and they did a Top 5 Sandler episode. It’s surprisingly hard. Non negotiable for me are Punch Drunk Love and Billy Madison. Then I’d probably go Uncut Gems, Happy Gilmore and Wedding Singer, but tough leaving off Meyerowitz stores, and 10 year old me is pissed at leaving off Waterboy and Big Daddy.
  18. I expected BOS to win this series because of their defense. Not because they would match GS shot for shot. What a second half
  19. This continues to be an absolutely wild thing that happened
  20. Completely agree with this, particularly if Boston gets through. GS can be great, but they've also been relatively fortuitous in these playoffs, playing a weak Denver team, closing out Memphis without Ja, and playing a very flawed Dallas team. If Boston makes it through Miami, I would give them the edge, although I would prefer to see GS win.
  21. Utterly implausible in a movie with a duel inside a volcano. But I get that it’s hard to see beyond the surface level for some folks, no shame in that.
  22. Your position is that it's totally unbelievable that an enslaved person would want to kill their capture because he "elevated her status tremendously", and that a rape victim might bear ill will toward the product of said rape? All in 10th century Iceland? That's...an interesting take.
  23. Holy moly, what a dunk. That was not an offensive foul unless utter disrespectfulness is a foul.
