Trump’s crash out over not winning the Nobel Prize is going to be legendary.

Hard to believe there was no warning on the telemetry that the pads were about to explode, but here we are.

Or, he will in fact catch Kimi immediately before his brakes explode. SMH.

Hawley has a style that is more about exploring ideas and sometimes his plots don’t connect up fully and his characters don’t always feel fully developed because they are more there to represent an idea or even a universal/natural force than an actual person. I like it but it’s not for everyone.

Prometheus is probably the peak of supposedly smart people doing incredibly dumb things. AE didn’t seem particularly egregious in that to me, but it’s part horror genre so that just comes with the territory.

I liked it a lot. How did you feel about Fargo?

Hawley definitely has a style and super tight plotting where everything is explained and connects perfectly isn’t part of it.

When one of the dog breeders you were considering but had already eliminated for other reasons posts about β€œover vaccination” in dogs with a lot of β€œwhat vets won’t tell you” stuff.

The unraveling of this dude is going to be one of those β€œslowly then suddenly” situations.

We’re in the β€œnothing happened for a few months so people moved back to Mount St Helens” phase of things.

FWIW, while it’s obviously completely unacceptable to have the FCC chair pressuring affiliates to take Kimmel off the air, his comments were inaccurate and inflammatory.

Whatever Tyler Robinson ends up being, he’s not mainline MAGA and it’s not helpful or responsible to make that accusation.

I always find it funny when the discourse gets into β€œmen dress for women” and β€œwomen dress for men” and if we were really honest with ourselves about what compliments actually resonate with us, we’d admit that we are all dressing hoping to get approval from the gay men in our lives.

The TikTok algorithm gets so incredibly specific and repetitive that it can give you a wildly distorted perception of what is in the national zeitgeist.

My algo would have you believe that theee is major controversy over Sydney Sweeney’s jeans ad and Ralph Lauren’s Oak Bluffs collection.

Thought experiment:

Would all the money being poured into AI clusters be more or less of an economic/environmental disaster if the companies instead built factories to light equivalent amounts of cash on fire?

Ribs aren’t just for smoking. Oven roasted with tomatoes, onions and peppers that cook down into a jam here. SautΓ©ed corn with Calabrian chili and lemon juice. Arugula salad with vinaigrette and fried almonds and garlic chips.

Yes, I’m rewatching season 2 currently to remember what happened. It will be interesting to see what happens with a reduced budget and new show runner. Not super optimistic.

Look, I’m not saying it wasn’t tasty, but that antipasto salad didn’t look THAT good.

Well, I think Lewis can get George on pace, and the chance of fuckery between Max, Lando, and Oscar seems high so podium is still a good possibility.

No player had a better collection of nicknames. Hefty Lefty, Battleship Lorenzen, Round Mound of Touchdown, there were so many…

Man, Vasseur might not have made it out of the track alive if they had cocked up the strategy so badly to get Lewis knocked out in Q1.

I didn’t play the game, but haven’t gotten that message from the show at all so far. The futility of revenge seems to be the dominant theme that is emerging.

Raiding the fridge for breakfast. Leftover corn risotto, Italian sausage, blistered cherry tomatoes. Garnished with parm, basil and a drizzle of olive oil.

It was good. Not as good as Season 1, but still very good.

They had all the problems that caused the game to get review bombed and the double whammy of getting people who worship flaming them for every minor change.
