  1. Phantom Thread might be one or two for me. I love that ending so hard.
  2. I guess if you go far enough to the right or the left you truly do come out the other side… The party? You mean a few consultants started asking for money and Politico decided to make an article about it?
  3. I think it’s Quantumania for me. CA is just inert.
  4. Is he a pretender because you don’t like him or something? What the fuck? She can’t even win over the other committee Dems on oversight. You’re a purity test progressive over winning elections, I take it?
  5. Forrest Whitely is the super hot girl that, from time to time, gets black out drunk and cheats on you. You gave her a pass previously because she was embarrassed about it, but now you’ve been together for seven years and you’re still wondering why she has the self-control of a toddler who just discovered cotton candy.
  6. Me, too. We’re going to end up trading him to Tampa for someone like Joe Boyle because he has experience starting (even though he was terrible) and Brown is still pissed that Anthopoulos wouldn’t let him draft him with the Braves. He becomes Zobrist 2.0 on a cheap deal for the next 5 years with a couple of all-star appearances.
  7. Scott Galloway probably stole this joke, but he calls Harvard a hedge fund that happens to own a university.
  8. I don’t really know what 2022 has to do with your disregard for soft power.
  9. That shit doesn’t matter anymore unless the goal is to have an empire of ashes in a military escalation with China. Everyone else is better persuaded with diplomacy or isolated as a pariah state. There’s a very good article in The Atlantic today about Ukrainian advances in drone tech and how that underscores the vast new frontier in war fighting. I’m sure there’s still a place for carrier groups but it’s not going to look like it did even a couple of years ago. They are just way too expensive and vulnerable to act as a command asset in contested battle spaces. That said, aren’t you MAGA? It would be typical for one of the ‘Merica first myopics to overestimate our own martial capacity because you’ve been told falsely that we’re the biggest swinging dick on the planet and that China somehow ignored over 20 years of futility in trying to subdue a bunch of unemployed sheep herders.
  10. FWIW, we are exploring Czech (easier) and German (far more of a challenge) citizenship so we have an exit strategy to any EU country. I’m not eager to leave, by any means, and still love Texas. That said, we are clearly going backwards from a good governance perspective and I’m not really seeing elites from either side show any willingness to address core cultural and little d democratic issues that might help steer us out of the nose dive.
  11. I was thinking more that professed Christian Tim Dunn would be a good candidate to offer the kind of compassionate support to the most needy that Jesus Christ himself commanded in John 15:12.
  12. Buy them a bus ticket to Midland.
  13. I agree with you in regards to the experience, but I’m in the underwhelmed camp by the food and I’ve been four times (it’s a good day trip for when we’re hosting out of towners). For me, the brisket doesn’t stand out and that’s my main protein. Pork ribs were also just kind of okay. I think their chicken is their best meat and it always sells out too fast. On another note, I did have Mum for the first time this weekend at the Mueller Farmer‘s market and their brisket was on point (their pastrami was also a highlight).
  14. Huh? She looks terrific for 43. Not everyone ages like frozen in time Beckinsale.
  15. I have a hard time imaging her with the kind of crossover appeal needed to win a plurality of voters in Texas. She’s better as a bomb throwing house rep or going for something less ambitious like Texas AG. One of the unfortunate consequences of having such a terrible state party is that good candidates are running for higher office before they are ready.
  16. Haha! American/Iberia lost our bags last summer going to Madrid. It took four days to get them back and included squatting at the airport for five hours waiting for them to locate the physical bags after giving us text notifications that they had made it to MAD.
  17. Power out in 78759.
  18. Except he‘s not out exploring, his whole day is siting in the airport.
  19. Yeah, I liked that one, too, especially as it’s a different look at the burgeoning rebellion. Mon and Luther are so careful, so deliberate; and obviously from a storytelling perspective that’s useful because the audience gets a thrill when they are able to drop the mask. Saw’s speech also helps demonstrate the kind of wild urges suppressed under the empire-he’s an outlaw and rebels against everything, but that urge for freedom is at the root of most of the sympathizers.
  20. Blanco getting a second opinion on the elbow, hmmmmm…..
  21. Just curious, but what are you basing this on? According to the May Harris poll, Israel (over Hamas) has a 54%-46% advantage in support amongst poll respondents 18-24. This grows to 65%-35% for 25-34. I'll add that only 5% of those polled considered this their top issue, against 65% that said the economy. I think you have a misread on the importance of that one.
  22. To be fair, Carrie Isaac could indeed be terrible and she’d still be miles better than her predecessor and Donna Campbell.
  23. It’s probably a steep hill for someone with that last name to win statewide in Florida and start garnering more attention. I’m not sure why ya’ll are looking for house reps and, to a lesser extent, senators, to be standard bearers of party evolution (although Ruben Gallego would likely take issue with this claim). It seems more likely that they’ll need to come from the states.
