  1. He should've indicated that he teed it up to the moment when Stewart’s main rant about CBS started. It'd make a great short clip.

  3. Y'all watch this while you can before it gets scrubbed. John thinks he's going to get cancelled and outright tells CBS to go fuck itself while backed up by a choir. It's worth each and every one of its 29 minutes, so block out the time.
  4. He could also be lying about getting fired as a grift.
  5. When I was in kindergarten (1976), we only lived about two blocks from the school. My folks let me wander over alone, no problem. We moved to another town when I was in the first grade (1977), and I rode my bike alone about a mile to elementary school.
  6. I only made it to that first guy who opened his kimono and revealed himself a fascist -- to a round of applause -- in that first YouTube clip you posted. Disgusting.
  7. Shit, people are falling in love with their AIs that they use for therapy or as personal assistants. I caught a good chunk of this conversation a few days ago, and it's both sad and scary to think about what it has the potential to do to society writ large, considering all the lonely people out there. https://www.npr.org/2025/07/18/g-s1177-78041/what-to-do-when-ai-says-i-love-you-we-talked-to-an-artificial-intimacy-expert
  8. Yep. Didn't he just pull that shit a couple of weeks ago? He's also cruelly gone after at least 2-3 female posters who’ve naively disclosed a bit of personal information, like selfies. One was done in celebration, and the other had gotten Covid. In neither instance did he get a ban. Of course, there are others he's fucked with over personal stuff and has gotten away with it. It's like Johnny Sack/Frank Drebin has plot armor on this soap, Surlies of Our Lives. Absolutely the most despicable poster on this site. The dude is evil incarnate and deserves to be permabanned.
  9. As newlyweds, my ex-wife and I enjoyed her first prominent feature back in the mid-90s.
  10. Einhorn is Finkle! Finkle is Einhorn!
  11. Not even close. I'd provide some helpful non-identifying context, but I don't want to be banned. Let’s just say he has a history of not being shy about freely sharing unmentionable details about certain aspects of his life. By contrast, this windfucker's trolling -- as evidenced by his repeated use of insults while simultaneously ignoring about 10 direct and pointed questions from different posters along with sidestepping a few attempts to engage in serious discourse -- is perfectly A-OKAY. It's hard to keep track of the site's mercurial moderation rules.
  12. I get it but also have slightly more sympathy for the Hermit Kingdom grunts who've never had access to a Free Press.
  13. A mildly political response: Putin has cynically co-opted the Russian Orthodox Church and tried to establish himself as the savior of socially conservative Christian values in contrast to decadent Western Europe (recall how he went after Pussy Riot along with all the homophobic propaganda about the West). Steve Bannon gave a whole speech about uniting Christendom at the Vatican (2015, I think), hinting at times at Putin’s important role in fighting culture wars against the threats posed by liberal decadence and Islam. Some Western social conservatives have, over the years, responded well to all his surface-level promotion of family values while ignoring (or embracing) his crusade against Western democracy and the destruction he’s wrought on Ukrainian, Georgian, African, AND Russian families. I also vividly recall that, before he invaded Ukraine (the first time in 2014), he seemed to have some admirers on Shaggy who also spoke highly of his strategic brilliance and overall leadership in contrast to the US president at that time. Hell, one prominent poster who only occasionally posts nowadays even defended Russia’s claims on Ukraine when they illegally annexed Crimea. He had, and still has, some Western fans. Witness the guy from Round Rock, who, early in the war, went to Russia and became a reporter covering the war for the Russian government. Also, remember that many Americans used to work for RT. The vast majority of us now see him pretty clearly for what he is, but that wasn’t necessarily always the case.
  14. Fun new show on Hulu called β€˜Rivals,’ starring David Tennant, Aidan Turner (Poldark), and Alex Hassell (minor role in The Boys). It’s set in the mid- to late-1980s (lots of music from that era for those who enjoy the nostalgia) with the main plot surrounding the efforts of a regional independent television studio in the "Central Southwest" region trying to renew its franchise agreement with the government. As the title suggests, it involves lots of intrigues between a bunch of posh British twats living in the Cotswolds behaving like scoundrels and screwing each other over, both literally and figuratively (TITS!), in their personal / business affairs. The first season is 10 easily binged episodes. Not perfect, but pretty entertaining. Wives and girlfriends will also enjoy. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/rivals_2024
  15. The guy in that photo looks just like the type who would tailor a jersey.
  16. Struggled with this one.

  17. You're right. Boston Celtics is too PC. They should change the name to Boston Gingers.
  18. Are you saying that gingers are the redheaded stepchildren of historically oppressed people in the United States?
  19. I don't see it either, but he can speak with genuine credibility on topics that connect Christian values with policy. He needs to keep doing what he's doing because he's starting to gain more notice. Short 1-minute clip
  20. The genocide in Gaza continues: 32 yesterday; 60+ today. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/20/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-military-evacuation.html Israeli forces killed and wounded dozens of Palestinians on Sunday in the northern Gaza Strip, after crowds gathered near a crossing from Israel to try to seize aid from United Nations trucks entering the enclave, according to the Gaza health ministry and health workers. The episode was the latest in a string of deadly shootings as hunger and desperation have gripped Palestinians in Gaza during Israel’s nearly two-year campaign against Hamas. The latest attack took place near the Zikim crossing between the Gaza Strip and Israel. More than 60 people were killed while seeking aid in northern Gaza on Sunday, according to the health ministry and Mohammad Abu Salmiya, the director of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. A field hospital operated by the Palestine Red Crescent Society in northern Gaza was flooded with gunshot victims from the episode near Zikim. The hospital received two of the dead and more than 100 wounded, said Nebal Farsakh, a spokeswoman for the Red Crescent. Israeli soldiers fired β€œwarning shots” after thousands of Gazans gathered in the area, the Israeli military said in a statement. They had opened fire to β€œremove an immediate threat posed to them,” it added, but did not specify the nature of the threat. The Israeli military also said that the reported number of casualties did β€œnot align” with its initial review, but it did not provide an alternative toll. The military was continuing to examine the episode, it said. The United Nations’ World Food Program said in a statement that a convoy of 25 trucks carrying food for Palestinians was entering northern Gaza when it β€œencountered massive crowds of hungry civilians which came under gunfire.” The agency said it was β€œworking with authorities to gather more details about the incident.” Chaos has dominated aid distribution in Gaza amid widespread hunger in the territory. Israeli soldiers have repeatedly opened fire near huge crowds of desperate Palestinians heading to sites run by American contractors for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a private and controversial Israeli-backed group, according to witnesses and the Israeli military. At least 32 people were killed on Saturday after Israeli soldiers began shooting near a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation site in southern Gaza, according to the Gaza health ministry. The episode on Sunday did not occur near one of the foundation’s sites.
  21. I bet you're right about the incentive package to relocate the headquarters. In the world of economic development, states take pride in and love to tout the number of corporate headquarters they have, especially those of well-known companies. Business Insider's piece is a little clearer. It looks like they're doing some consolidating on the West Coast as they relocate to Nashville's suburbs. https://www.businessinsider.com/in-n-out-lynsi-snyder-relocation-california-tennessee-business-expansion-2025-7 And how pathetic it is that she's bitching about old Covid restrictions from FOUR YEARS AGO in the present tense? Edit: This is probably like a lot of other relocations out of California, where they leave the vast bulk of their operations in-state but have a small "headquarters" in Tennessee for tax purposes.
