  1. What is still unknown which I imagine will be worked out soon, is why did the kid have a knife at a track meet. That might or might not mean premeditation depending on how that question is settled.
  2. Does your 15 year old still think that? Seems like he would be the only 15 year old to not see it this weekend. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/minecraft-movie-box-office-record-opening-1236182874/ Box Office: ‘A Minecraft Movie’ Strikes Gold With Record-Shattering $157M U.S. Launch, $301M Globally Warner Bros.’ kid-friendly movie blew past all expectations to score the top start ever for a video game adaptation, as well as rouse the beleaguered box office back to life.
  3. Generally speaking we should all be suspicious of “social media news”: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2025/04/02/what-we-know-about-the-frisco-track-meet-stabbing/
  4. What are you on about? The Stros guy posted two things that I saw 1) calling out your post rightfully so as garbage speculation and everything that’s wrong with social media and 2) a link to a news media report (wfaa Dallas). I guess I don’t understand the motivation to post obviously badly biased and disinformation at this point of what we know.
  5. I’ve read it described as Rocky Horror Picture show for teen nerd boys. Still boggles the mind that analysts didn’t realize the power of Minecraft, YouTube and boys and how that would translate to a smash hit.
  6. This aligns? This sounds like someone took the initial reports and eyewitness statements (a phone was taken, broken after being told to leave) combined with some probably true personality characteristics (kid could generally be a bully) and then throws Wild speculation gasoline on the fire (racial slurs and bullying the kid systematically for weeks) The only things being reported were they didn’t know each other and it was their first run-in (which makes sense from a smell test considering they go to cross-town high schools) and zero eye witness or reporting has ever mentioned racial slurs or racism. The wild social media speculation is unmoored from the rational speculation based on a cocktail of actual reporting and first/hand second hand accounts.
  7. But some things are clearly more speculative and ridiculous than other things. And motowns was wildly almost irresponsibly so.
  8. Seeing it again today my one observation is that the theatre has been a nerdfest. Bunch of nerdy old dudes like me and nerdy preteens, kids and grandkids. Theatre is overrun with nerds unseen since when MCU was fresh.
  9. Sounds like complete speculation and even fabrication if the initial report is true that the twins (bully or not) had never seen or interacted with Karmelo (from another h.s.) before they got into an initial verbal and/or physical altercation. Referring to the competing narrative that they systematically bullied him and broke his phone weeks prior, etc.
  10. Never underestimate a people’s ability to miss a layup, I know, I know.
  11. This is the best opportunity for the Dems to wrest power and keep it. The economy is falling off a cliff and unlikely to bounce back before 2026. All you have to do is not throw an interception when you can run the clock out by kneeling.
  12. If you didn’t have an 8-13 year old boy in your life during the technoblade death, it’s hard to explain.
  13. ‘Minecraft’ Will Double Its Box Office Projections, May Pass Mario https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2025/04/05/minecraft-will-double-its-box-office-projections-may-pass-mario/
  14. Congrats on the internal move and finding a job-- any port in a storm. But, word to the wise, I'd keep interviewing and looking externally because being a Federal Seller probably ain't gonna be that great for the next few years with DOGE, severe cost cutting, an administration that doesn't value investment, contracts, software or professional services, etc. Read today Deloitte is cutting from their Federal teams. I know most PubSec and Fed sellers I know are sweating it.
  15. SIAP:
  16. Make sure to add actual relevant and quantifiable, actionable contributions you've made that you can tell a story about. And most importantly make sure to include your favorite dead comedian.
  17. I can beat that. My BONUS for 2024 is high 5 figures of RSU's. They are priced from an average of months ago. So I'm immediately 40% underwater on them when I recieved them yesterday and my Bonus was severely NERF'ed in the short term.
  18. You only had like 175k in your 401k? What are you, a child under 30? Just kidding, I hope it will come back quickly for all of us who have lost a ton of money.
  19. I'm not saying you do, but what I've noticed IRL/real life convos, a ton of people either have forgotton or not realized just how elite Kawhi's defense was in his peak too. He was a monster on offense and equally beastly on D. It really was fun to watch (I get that a lot of Spurs fans had a well earned bias and might not feel the same way).
  20. the young ones went on Thursday and are going again tomorrow. I think it will do decent to good numbers and be profitable. Nice palate cleanser from Snow White.
  21. Brother? I was there too. Ski Santa Fe. Meow Wolf. It was a great time...until it wasn't. I know you can infer via the rep you've been getting, but just want to say you've been really funny lately. Keep up the good work.
  22. Frisco ISD track meet stabbing suspect said it was self-defense, police report says: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2025/04/04/frisco-isd-track-meet-stabbing-suspect-said-it-was-self-defense-police-report-says/ Witnesses told police Karmelo Anthony, 17, fatally stabbed Austin Metcalf, 17, after being either grabbed or shoved. The teen suspect in a fatal stabbing at a Frisco ISD track meet told police he stabbed Austin Metcalf after the other teen grabbed him during an altercation, according to an arrest report obtained by The Dallas Morning News. Karmelo remained in Collin County jail Friday in lieu of a $1 million bond, according to jail records. He faces a murder charge. An attorney listed as representing him did not immediately return messages seeking comment Friday morning. Witnesses told police the altercation began when Karmelo sat under Memorial High’s assigned tent. Austin’s twin brother, Hunter, told The News that students were sitting under the tents due to a rain delay at the track meet. Austin told Karmelo he needed to move, the report said. Karmelo reached inside his bag and said to Austin “Touch me and see what happens,” the report said. Austin then touched Karmelo, who then said “Punch me and see what happens.” Austin then grabbed Karmelo to tell him to move, and Karmelo pulled out a knife, stabbed Austin once in the chest and ran away, the witness told police. Another witness told police Austin shoved Karmelo before he was stabbed. After being stabbed, Austin grabbed his chest and told bystanders to call for help, the report says. Athletic trainers reportedly tended to him before first responders arrived. Austin was a junior at Frisco Memorial High School. He was a football player who was voted MVP of his school’s team and named a second-team all-district linebacker. His father told The News that Austin was being recruited to play college football. Karmelo is a student at Frisco Centennial High School, and according to his Instagram account, is also a football player at his school and received college football offers. Whether the incident was captured on camera was unclear Friday. Officer Grant Cottingham, a police spokesperson, declined to say in response to an inquiry from The News, citing the ongoing investigation. According to the Frisco police report, police were called at about 10 a.m. A witness pointed out Karmelo to a school resource officer as the suspect. As the officer approached Karmelo, he told the officer “I was defending myself,” and “he put his hands on me,” according to the report. The officer handcuffed Karmelo, and as another officer approached, the arresting officer said he had the alleged suspect in custody. According to the report, Karmelo said “I’m not alleged, I did it.” As the officer walked Karmelo to his patrol car, the teen reportedly began “crying hysterically” and said “he put his hands on me, I told him not to.” Another officer wrote in the report that Karmelo asked if what happened could be considered self-defense.
  23. The woman and kids have to work at a pizza hut to make ends meet. Karmelo Anthony with a knife. Is Frisco poor or middle class these days? What are the house prices like there these days? Where has everyone "flighted" to? Prosper? Celina?
  24. I get that. I saw an interview yesterday where the interviewer actually asked the dad directly about a gofundme and he said "I haven't thougth about it, I'm sure somebody will set one up" which made me think this one is fishy as it was set up by the dad.
