    My, how things have changed. VIA PTI, the Brooklyn Dodgers won the World Series 67 years ago today. This year, we haven't even finished the regular season.
  2. And there was the part of the interview where she mentioned that he told her he could change if the had a kid.. As her friend alluded to, at 33 rears old, he's not going to change.
  3. Well, that didn't take long. UK government forced to ditch plan to slash top rate of tax. Good job John!
  4. A victim of (ex) Badger on Badger crime!

    It feels weird that today (Sunday) is not the final day of the regular season.
  6. The good news. Marvel Shakes Up ‘Armor Wars’: Don Cheadle Series Now Being Developed As a Movie (Exclusive). Marvel doesn't make that move unless they think a movie starring Cheadle can make hundreds of millions of dollars. And the bad. ‘Tarzan’ to Swing Again as Sony Picks Up Movie Rights (Exclusive)/ I don't care how much they "reinvent" the character, the basic concept is trash.
  7. I agree that this episode was more in line with the firts season. And I thought it was hilarious. "It's mathematically impossible." Rage quitting Uno "They in Egypt!" And, of course, Earns mom taking off with her father in the back seat. In addition to the comedy, I thought the family's relationship rang true. It was cranked up to 11, but felt real. Hat woman did Earn's dad wrong. He looked back.
  8. I was part of the beta, and even back then, the speculation was how long would it be before Google killed it given their history with previous projects. I think that actually played a part in its demise because people were hesitant to commit.
  9. I just watched a trailer for the next iteration of the Bring it On! franchise and it is blatantly a teen slasher film, which makes me sad. The original movie is one of my guilty pleasures. Yes, there are major problematic elements (the sexualization of teen girls) bur it is also a movie explicitly about cultural appropriation. I'm sure there were earlier ones, but this is the one I remember. In addition, the original actually presage the upcoming world of social media. Where white influencers become famous for duplicating the work of the original Black creative.
  10. Corporate Lawyer Breaks Down Succession Business Deals. A eal life version of Gerri breaks it down. It reminded me that the show started out acquiring a social media company to being acquired by one.
  11. "You think that rhino is following us?" This show is so stupid. And so fun. One thing I like is the directorial decision to have the actors deliver their lines so sincerely and unironically. They know that this show is bonkers, but they are never tip their hand.
  12. I supposed this was a good complimentary episode to "Black Bieber". But, to paraphrase Jay Z (Roc Nation), the road to post rap career success is not to be a businessman, but a "business, man". Dr. Dre (Beats headphones), Diddy ( Ciroc vodka), Kanye West (Yeezy shoes) are all past their music relevancy, but they are still cashing them checks. Those days were wild! East Coast/West Coast rap wars. The killing of Biggie and Tupac. The police condemning Ice T because of the song "Cop Killer", Second Lady Tipper Gore trying to save the youth of America from explicit/violent rap and rock lyrics. . .

    NFL Thread

    I think it's kind of funny that the Cowboy catchphrase "How bout them Cowboys!" is from a coach that the owner drove out of town almost three decades ago and they have not had that level of success since.

    NFL Thread

    Bomani Jones charted all of the nepotism links in the NFL, and it is probably worse than you guessed. (It was for me.) And last week, the Washington Post did a great, and depressing, series on how the NFL's efforts on diversity in the coaching ranks are failing.
  15. I was a bit miffed when only Galadriel and Halbrand got the "hero" treatment upon the departure of the fleet, when Miriel is the only reason it happened by committing her fleet and her troops. I think this is an excellent comparison.
  16. At first I was kind of sympathetic to the bride when she was worried that She Hulk would upstage her, but then she kept saying/doing shitty things to Jen. After the fight, was she too drunk to realize that She Hulk is Jen? Nikki is great. Not only does Ginger Gonzaga have great chemistry with Tatiana, I really enjoyed her scenes with Pug and Mallory. How does Mr. Immortal know that the next time won't be the last? I would be banking all of those resurrections for when I really need them.
  17. MSNBC Slammed for Putting Chris Matthews Back On-Air After Sexual Harassment Claims All right, fess up. Which one of you did this?😉

    Architect Breaks Down Iconic Baseball Stadiums
  19. That was great. I'm not surprised that it was Debbi Allen who got the show on track and fought for her team.. That woman is a force of nature.

    Poor widdle Wobert Sarver can't understand why people are being so mean to him. I guess he'll have go home and cry into his billions. Sarver also owns a major real estate company. I can't imagine his behavior is any better there.
  21. I agree that it's great that they are back in Atlanta. It's also great that the real Van is back. They totally assassinated her character last season. Earn to his therapist, "Oh, I'm not that cold blooded." Really Earn?
  22. When I saw the individuals around the banquet table, I had a flashback to my orientation at the engineering department that actually took pride in washing people out. "Look to your right. Look to your left. In four years two of you will be gone."
  23. Good explainer of what the LIV tour is up to.
  24. Looks like they talked (video game) Roy Kent out of retirement.
