I mean, Chris, you could probably write this and get it produced.

Gambling WAS banned for decades! And then it got legalized and things got worse. We are talking about the fact that legalizing it made things bad. I didn't say "you should ban it", I said "it should have never been legal."

Quite a bit less dangerous than the number of deaths today alone from drunk drivers and liver damage

Except we know that's not true. We have a lot of data on the negative effects from legalized gambling as compared to the way it was 10 years ago.

Yes. Legal alcohol is a net negative to society and if it was synthesized today, it would be an illegal narcotic classed similarly to cocaine or heroin.

What is the oversimplification? Legalized gambling is a net negative to society.

I watched it for the first time this year. I thought it had some really interesting ideas that it ended up not capitalizing on and the third act was all over the place. One of the top "potential" movies.

Parson is just another word for Pastor

Well, Ms. Erivo took criticism for that too. But the point is that AG has been hearing criticism from the public on body image since she was a kid on Nickelodeon.

Sure, but the quote makes sense in the context of Ariana, who has been famous since she was a teenager and is American, and less sense for Cynthia, whose first credits are from after she graduated RADA and is British.

I mean yeah. He doesn't care about the next tenant. He only cares about himself. Whether he's there for 3 years or 3 months.

I had a similar thing happen last night when I was looking for a half-remembered video about Michael Sheen returning his OBE.

Tina Fey, Will Forte

Yeah that would rule. I thought the amount that was given to the crazy Eagle guy was a bit much (would have rather just cut the character and saved Rooker for something else) but if it's setting him up as Uncle Sam, I'm into it.

Defenestrated Through The Overton Window is my Panic at the Disco cover band.

I have been reminded of Troye Sivan, so make that four nickels.

If I had a nickel for every time they cast an Australian to play Wolverine, I'd have three nickels.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

Great record! I got to go to the Chicago show at a tiny 300-person venue. It was electric. Got the vinyl and CD there too.

I saw they're doing a 20th anniversary steelbook of Aeon Flux and it made me even more upset that we still don't have Speed Racer.

what's crazy is that if we restrict our sample size to just "the day that Charlie Kirk got shot" it remains true that right-wing extremists commit more violence

Can't believe I just saw @danielobrien.bsky.social give an Emmys speech. So cool!

I knew I was missing something

I absolutely wish violence on Dave Portnoy.

Dave Portnoy tweet saying ‘absolutely disgusting and disturbing video from Charlie Kirk shooting today. Hoping for the best for him and his family. Anybody who is happy about this is a disgusting human.’

Pop Crave Tweet: ‘Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy says he hopes a missile hits Greta Thunberg’s boat as she sails away with aid: “I hope they hit a f*cking, like, a missile on her boat. Knock that boat down. Greta or whatever her name is”

This explains it better than I can

Obviously the shooter was a trans Muslim gang member from San Chicagoyork

He didn't apologize because he denies it happened. You can't apologize for something you didn't do. Whether or not you believe his denial is up to you.

We don't see the people who created Luthen's artifacts, so who's to say they aren't aliens? Just because we only see a few in the show doesn't mean they don't exist in the wider universe which we in fact know they do.

Yes, a galactic standard year is based on Coruscant, which conveniently has the same cycle as Earth. (24 hour days, 365 day years)
