A real shame. Very well pitched and defended game, hate to see it finish on such a bad call. Sour taste. Yes, I was hoping for DR, but that’s just a sad way for a fine game to end.
Seems like a bad reason
Bravo, Bill.
This is me with my fabled restraint, not getting involved in Oscar will win-should win shenanigans here.
Look upon my mature reticence ye mighty, and despair.
(Oh. But I will hope for the DR vs USA over on the other channel.)
I’ll never mock alone…
Did I tease my Liverpool fan friends about doing well to snatch a point from the Mighty Spurs? (Were tied by Tottenham by way of a goal from an innocuous play in the 89th minute.)
Yes, yes I did.

(His ‘Self Portrait as a Coffee Pot’ is just wonderful. Am watching a segment a day on MUBI.)
Gosh! Insight!
Julien has done lovely work here, again.
Why do I feel like there's an editor at the New York Time whose sole job is to insert "appeared to" before every statement of fact exposing Trump's mendacity.
One can feel that one’s own tastes and needs as to film are out of synch with the Oscars (not a new thing) and still agree with this. Indeed, agreeing is how one manages to watch!
This is immortal, and also a sad reminder of how literate comedians could once be on prime time network tv.

Sorry, what typo? A morning joke is not a typo.
Feels as if ‘The Hay Wain’ and such have been both undervalued AND have narrowed/distorted our later sense of Constable. I have a vague analogy forming as to how my generation dismissed Frost‘s poetry. Too uncool for us?
Today, on the Ideals of March, virtuous Romans affirmed their commitment to the principles of the founding of the Republic. It was a small but touching ceremony.

Is this somewhere near the heart of what art is, for some?
“We don’t need anything from anyone. But please join my stupid, unnecessary war as combatants.”
SUCH a photo.
‘catastrophically boorish’ is perfect
Phrasing, Peter!
This is amazing “it is open for transit should Iran not do that” … ‘that’ bring Iran shooting at ships
It is almost unfair to Pirro. In the wide open contest to be the most rancid Trump official she got such a late start. Also, by the rules, Noem is not out of it. Nor is Musk.
"I'm willing to take a not guilty. I'm willing to take a no true bill."
What she means is she's willing to bring legally deficient cases that harass innocent defendants, waste her line prosecutors' time, and makes her office look like jerkoffs in front of judges and juries.
When do we see the first Noem & Lewandoski ‘Shield of Americas’ condom ad?
It is a tricky move to throw someone under a bus when you yourself are already under said bus.
Hmm. Maybe there are multiple buses!
There is an ongoing problem with people who think ‘smugly cynical’ is a grownup position, without actually thinking about an issue.
Does fucking Hegseth know what ‘quarter’ means in combat terms? Does he know that ‘no quarter’ means not allowing soldiers to surrender?
Or did he hear the phrase in some video game and just think it sounded macho to the max?
