  1. Also, if you're not in the Cloak Room, I'm as anti-Trump/MAGA as they come. And the right wing grifters have always infuriated me, Owens and Kelly included.
  2. If you don't want to take the time to truly understand the case, I completely understand. This particular drama is bullshit compared to what's going on the world. But you're proving my point. People are lazily assuming stuff and getting it wrong, because everything now is being viewed through a political lens.
  3. Look man, it really fucking sucks that Candace Owens and Megyn Kelly are on the right side of this story. They're in it for all the wrong reasons, fuck both of them. @MrBig makes a valid point above about X. We clearly know that X boosts right wing accounts and engagement. The fact that a "researcher" would use that app as proof is ridiculous . And any X bot activity is probably being pushed by someone involved with Owens or Kelly if I had to guess. This whole drama is really being played out on YouTube. The content creators there are real people, and most are not overtly political. They just peddle in celeb gossip and reality TV shit. They are posting videos daily (sometimes multiple) with updates and reading through any updated legal documents that are released. And 95% of them believe Lively is the one in the wrong. The "Team Justin" stuff is fucking stupid, unfortunately that is the binary world we live in now. I stopped paying close attention to this story, as it seems pretty clear based on evidence presented that Lively acted in bad faith from the beginning. Now just waiting for a resolution. But I do find it fascinating how lazy Jezebel and people like Taylor Lorenz have been. They assume if Candace Owens and Megyn Kelly and other right-wingers are "siding" with Baldoni, that the opposite must be true and that Lively is the victim. And they've gotten it wrong in this particular case.

    This is definitely something I"m struggling with internally. Many people I deeply love have fallen into this anti-empathy/right wing trap. And I"m deeply disappointed and angry with them. It makes me sick that people who would do anything for me (and vice versa) can be so dismissively cruel regarding others. I really believe sincerity is a dying currency, and we have to find a way to revive it.
  5. Pete continues to present the correct message IMO. Pete his going to Iowa next week for a Veteran Town Hall. It's becoming clear he's running in 2028.

    Agreed, and this should be the thought process for literally everything. In the end, our society might crumble anyways, but better to live this path than any other.
  7. Hahahahahaha fuck Boston
  8. Fuck. How was this not talked about more??
  9. It's only available on his Patreon. It's like $5 per month and I'm sure he will break down most if not all Arch games this season.
  10. Seriously, that place looks tiny. Wow.
  11. Hilarious when you consider Tulsi went from Vice Chair of the DNC in 2016 and turned into a Trump/MAGA lackey. Talk about an "evolution".
  12. Holy shit, that was awesome.
  13. She is part of the problem. It's her show. This is what she wants.
  14. TheQBSchool (JT O'Sullivan) just released his game film breakdowns of Arch's performance vs. ULM and Miss. State on his Patreon. He made videos for Quinn's starts last year too and was a fan. Nothing groundbreaking, obviously he noted Arch's struggles vs. ULM but loved his throws on slants. He was very impressed by Miss State game and noted the massive improvement. Near the end, he says "Watching these two games, I'm a little surprised they went back to Ewers if I'm being totally honest. That's coming from someone who very much likes Quinn Ewers." *not bringing this up to re-hash the controversy last year, just wanted to post about some Arch love.
  15. Personally I have no interest in this strategy. I like a lot of our young players and what we've patiently built. The only piece this team is missing is a go-to scorer/shooter.
  16. Agreed! You can just plug and play with KD, especially if shipping off Brooks in the trade. No major changes will be needed offensively, and Amen was already taking over for Brooks as the defensive specialist. Plus Durant is no slouch on that end. I don't give a fuck about trading our 1st round picks. Do it. We built all this stuff up while we sucked, time to deploy them and be a championship contender.
  17. I don't get the Giannis talk at all. He is the type of player that would make Houston have to completely reconfigure their roster. Which seems dumb with all the roster building we've done over the last few years. We need a scorer/shooter that can boost the half court offense. We need KD. Yeah, his game is on the decline as he gets older, but what he's doing now is the ideal fit. He won't demand the ball but has the ability to get easy buckets when the offense is sputtering.
  18. IMO the unknown with Shepard probably overrates the value other teams would give him. He can ride off the potential card right now, while I think Jalen's postseason performance confirmed people's worst fears about him.
  19. Good post. I'm not as high on Jabari. He hasn't put on much (if any) weight on since his rookie year and isn't strong enough in the paint offensively or defensively. He did step up at times this postseason though. I agree that Tari has been erratic, which is disappointing. I have higher expectations of him and I think a lot of it is mental and he needs to lock in. But his style of play is more coveted IMO. My list would probably be: 1. Amen 2. Sengun 3. Shepard - still all potential, but I believe the reports that team thinks he could be great 4. Tari 5. Jalen Green 6. Jabari 7. Whitmore
  20. Great season premiere and good series finale. Everything in between (besides Baby Billy) was pretty meh but they got the job done.
