  1. A pedestrian episode. Very gamey. Good >As promised, Jeffrey Wright elevated episode Bad >After school special lesbo scene. Though it makes sense to keep your clothes on in an unsecured location >Ellie working thru being a parent upon seconds of hearing the info >The videogame like escape sequence. Everything went perfect in an unlikely escape from the Wolves then Zombies. Basically we’re watching a Youtube video of how to escape the subway scene >Deena overacted the bite scene. Then Ellie undershared when a gun was pointed at her. Also, after a month with Deena, maybe you can trust her and share your secret. But reasons. Ugly >HBO loves them some full frontal male nudity
  2. Was the same for me. When a board candidate waffles on supporting librarians, it makes it really easy to select.
  3. Good news for you. Fast & Furious 10.2 is just around the corner.
  4. The Celtics easy path to the Finals last year also enabled them to bring back Porzingas and have fresher legs. They looked faster. Imagine a world where the Knicks beat you to a pulp then need to stop Brunson down the stretch in Game 7. None of that happened. The Celtics cruised thru the playoffs.
  5. Republicans have passed laws to restrict anti-Israel speech (for years), are conflating anti-semitism with Israeli policy protests, and are mass revoking visas based on anti-Israel sentiment. Trump is lock step with Netanyahu and proposed taking over Gaza and turning it into condos. Democrats like getting re-elected, support Israel’s right to self-defense from factional terrorism, and attempt to use diplomacy to reign in Netanyahu’s war. They are pragmatists. US voters still support Israel. If Dems revoked support for Israel at this time, they would have lost even bigger. If you cant see the difference between Dems and Trumps on this issue, then you are either obtuse or a rightwing sock.
  6. Still dead
  7. I visited the Vatican a month into his papacy. We just stumbled into St Peters for a Mass at a certain time. It was presided over Pope Francis, he canonized three saints, and drove by us in the Popemobile. It was wild, like a soccer match with people chanting and bringing flags. The Eucharist was a mob scene with no queuing system. The whole thing ended up as a 4-hour ordeal, no shade from the sun, took almost an hour to get out of there. Another CSB, on the Vatican Tour the day before we had a great guide who beelined us into the Sistine Chapel before it got crowded, we then circled back and did the normal tour and when we went thru again it was a mob scene. Towards the end of the tour i tried to find a bathroom and exited by mistake. The Swiss guard would not let me back in.
  8. That was another tremendous and terrible mistake.
  9. Homelessness is a nuanced, multifaceted issue with no easy answers. It’s also a regional and national issue. Longterm answers must be done at all levels of government and depends on sound economic, healthcare, education, housing, and criminal justice policies. It’s trending in the opposite direction to say the least. Austin’s strategy to target short-term intervention seems like a sound one. Next time you walk by the College of Social Work try to not scratch their lambos from all the sweet homeless cash they get.
  10. Eliminating agencies and bureaucrats is worth the squeeze to these nihilists. Then, selectively bothsiding who’s responsible for all the bullshit. American “intellectuals” glamorizing Russian politics or equating the US to Russia has been a bothsides tradition for over a century.
  11. Back up the Brinks truck, these cowards didnt put Luka on the trading block because they had no way to explain it. No contract dispute or player dissatisfaction. No rebuild. I think Barkley got traded without his knowledge for Jeff Hornacek and some spares. But that was offseason.
  12. Turn the other cheek was legit. Get a christian pop singer to cover it and its a legit hit
  13. Said this awhile back. Both guys really struggled with injuries though. Sam was used as a battering room. Ewers unlucky and has a slight frame. Watch Sam vs LSU then ISU later in the 2019 season. Night and day. Game on the line, I go Sam every time. September Ewers is no slouch. I do think Ewers made the right choice. Leaving Texas would hurt a significant UT legacy.
  14. Like I implied, it was an uneventful trip, probably took several weeks. They would have looked like warmed over shit wearing the clothes on their back. Probably wouldve passed by population centers. If they bypassed those like they said, it would have been over a month. Its unlikely. Late stage GOT had them traveling distances instantly. Early GOT had them get waylayed and it showed the struggle of traveling in unfamiliar territory. That was a symptom of lazy storytelling. My recollection of S1 showed them driving a vehicle and having some struggles in populated areas. They even made fun of Ellie’s converse sneakers. So it’s a minor quibble.
  15. Jackson Hole to Seattle is 850 miles. Are we to believe outside of one rainstorm, two small women on a horse would have an uneventful trip? Then they ride into Seattle after seeing a fresh murder site. Oh, “look a piece of shit, lets be seen in broad daylight for miles on the same path as the war atrocities!” 0 for 3 episode-wise >Good Deena the Explorer Catherine O’Hara >Bad Casual Seattle daytrip Unexplained cult without context, bringing hammers to a gunfight The H&M Wolves storming the REI closing scene >Ugly Pacing issues Ellie’s dialogue and likeability, not her looks
  16. Really bad take and verifiably incorrect. I bet about 1/3 of hall of fame QBs road pine. Maybe more, especially in the old days. Roger Fuckin Staubach was a backup as a 27-year old rookie, and he was one of the greatest college qbs of alltime. Now teams sometimes form succession plans and draft backups as heir apparents or upside guys.
  17. I wonder why people blame democrats for republicans behavior. Weird. It’s almost like there’s a systematic campaign to undermine democracy using sophisticated and chaotic misinformation campaigns that include narratives that elected officials are all corrupt, that the adversaries to fascism are weak, and that both sides are to blame. This, despite actions and rhetoric from nerdy, boring politicians, scientists and others who attempt to speak the truth. And, these truth-sayers are intimidated and ignored and shouted down.
  18. I largely agree. Joel’s just gonna stand pat while Jackson Hole is under siege. Even after hes shot in the legs, shes arm length and monologues. I do think he had some reasons to take it, but its a stretch. Ellie putsing around is also unlikely. She’d already showed high level (yet cocky) clearing skills. She has the element of surprise and somehow gets detected by supersoldier who was watching the torture.
  19. It was a good plan, but hasnt changed because: 1) It goes to a general fund 2) It doesnt impact red areas as much 3) the state has effectively deflected blame to local entities 4) it punishes austin 5) they’ve crushed legal challenges to equity and adequacy, even though the state constitution requires it A functioning governmental body would adjust the recapture formula at least every decade as part of a broader effort to improve public education for all.
  20. I made the mistake of watching ESPN draft coverage and 3 of the “analysts” started the broadcast making the case for Sanders at #1. Thats quite a difference in reality.
  21. Hurley is fat. Bella Ramsey aint fat. When people make superficial criticisms of actors based on how they dont conform to a detail from the source material, it’s an invalid criticism for a variety of reasons. Take it to the gamers board or cloak room, these make believe notions of what this character is or isnt based on what the tv show isnt showing. Based on what we’re seeing, Im seeing some lightweight acting and writing. Catherine OHara is a heavy hitter. As is Dora the Explorer as Dena who jumps off the screen. Bella did OK season 1 as a kid. Now shes the lead, it’s looking grim based on the combo of a script that depicts her as unsympathetic and her acting which is not leading character material.
