  1. Howard was fine as the author but didn’t buy her as a spy at all. When it looked like she was doing the Kathleen Turner role of Romancing the Stone, ok, but full blown real spy, nope. I was fine with everyone else. the story was fine, good even, but it needed serious editing to be tighter . Some of the action sequences were too long and “ice skating” on oil was ridiculous.
  2. They indicated that all phones were part of the hack. its looks like Paul was probably behind the hack after all
  3. LWT does better journalism research than most other media. Kudos and I hope there are a lot of people in the Biden administration who watched and took notes.
  4. Kids absolutely had emotional problems before 2010. many were just told to ignore them or deal with it. some got through ok, others didn't. Gen Xers were routinely ignored and self-raised. but we didn't have social media publishing every teen runaway or suicide back then, so we didn't hear about it as much. Nor did we have the type of mass shootings that have become prevalent. i agree that social media has made some things worse, or at least we all know about more of them.
  5. For all the interesting changes FAM made to the timeline with different democratic presidents (Ted Kennedy, Gary Hart, now Al Gore), one has to remember that because the USSR made it to the moon "first", the Soviet Union still existed in 2003. the show doesn't go into details but one has to wonder how other events were affected because the Soviet Union did not fall. We know 9/11 did not happen. Should we assume the SU did not fail in Afghanistan? what is the situation in the middle east? Is there a European Union? Alternate history is fascinating sometimes.
  6. Bill’s new rule rant takes one side, but there are a lot of non-white people who do want their differences considered. So Dems have to appease both and that’s hard.
  7. No one will believe Sergie killed himself before eating his Big Mac and fries.
  8. Who is Miles? I don’t recall him or his wife from the prior season. GHWB must have been fairly old to be running against Gore in 2000.
  9. Idiot skate cleaning guy got in over his head. Great fight sequence
  10. I'm still trying to get the family relations straight. Maya's dad married Maya's mom, and the mother of Maya's mom ('grandma') didn't like the dad's family because they were mixed up with Fisk? who are Bonnie's and Biscuit's parents and are they brother/sister or just cousins (because i don't remember Biscuit from Ep 1)? Is Graham Green Maya's grandad, who is or is not still with grandma? I kindof agree that grandma can take a seat over judging Maya, who went with the only family she had in NYC, including new "uncle Fisk" (at least at the time). Its not like grandma tried to keep Maya and tell the dad to leave alone. grandma didn't seem to care about Maya at all.
  11. another thing that most teens don't realize, and the loan people don't explain is that when you take out the student loan, the interest might start incurring immediately. Some loans will defer starting the interest until graduation (or leaving school), i think those are the federally guaranteed loans. but loans from private banks won't do that and suddenly at the end of 4 years, the college grad is flabbergasted that their $100,000 loan has doubled because of interest.
  12. You know so why many states fund colleges less? So they can give tax cuts to rich people. more teens need to consider community college for 2 years then transfer. Saves a lot of money. colleges should not be resorts but even non fancy schools charge quite a lot.
  13. It was last season, and Judith offered to help her. i know the show takes liberties with some facts, but i think it’s saying good things.
  14. loved the old JC episode. have to laugh at how she's talking about the color of the mayonnaise when she added the veggies to it, and of course, we can't see the color. Clearly the Fibbie is threating to go public with information about Paul, but its not like he has a job to lose anymore. its awful that they threatened people with releasing fall information in order to get someone to lie about their friends. it was good that charlie got the questions ahead of time so Julie and Paul could prepare answers as to why they now live in Boston and Paul left his job.

    Recently saw this on Amazon Prime and I was pleasantly surprised. The movie had a lot more heart and character involvement than I had originally thought it would, as i thought it would be nothing more than a basketball-sneaker movie. it was a little of that, but much more. I've really been impressed by Matt Damon lately. And I learned how to properly pronounce Adidas.
  16. Those women cheer Robinson are the type of women that stopped the ERA from passing. what’s also scary about those bad doctors is how many states have capped medical malpractice damages in litigation
  17. In an interview with Rob Cesterino afterwards, Trishelle stated that on the way to the firepit, she told MJ "you are the only one i trust, i want you at the end", which was her way of trying to tell MJ that she no longer trusted CT and was supposed to be a clue to MJ to vote for CT when Trishelle chose the red bag after Kate was eliminated. But MJ missed the clue.
  18. It depends. For example, Amazon could register a whole bunch of vehicles in say Pennsylvania, but use those vans to do deliveries in a host of neighboring states (Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, New Jersey, New York). And Amazon could tell its drivers to fill up on gas whichever state has the cheapest gas. such as, a driver who is doing deliveries in the Tri-State area of NJ, PA and DE might endeavor to gas up as much as possible in NJ, where gas prices tend to be lower. But that still doesn't necessarily provide for all the other services our taxes pay for (such as police, fixing streets, etc.)
  19. Yeah, Garth Brooks was the only 'cahones award' winner i agreed with. And Max Brooks' 'pay fair share' taxes speech was definitely very good. I will have to remember that. We all pay our fair share of taxes for our local roads we use. Bezos, et al, should pay fair share for all roads they use, which are a helluvahlot.
  20. No one ever said Trishelle "targeted" Peppermint because she was trans. She was "targeted" because she was 'different' and did not act in a way that Trishelle "expected" when Trishelle made her rude comment. Whether that was because Trishelle has not been around many women of color, transwomen, or large women, is unknown. But Trishelle took Peppermint's response, unexpected to Trishelle, and made a huge thing about it, enough that it got a whole bunch of other people talking about it. Peppermint was surprised by the "huge thing" when it was brought up at breakfast, addressed it and and then thought it was done. But people still kept bringing up without any valid reason to do so (at least as shown on the TV because they appeared to have dropped the "moved air" by Parvati and the "heavy breathing" by John, once those were addressed), and it flustered Peppermint so much that it was still an issue, she was still being targeted for her 'unexpected to Trishelle' response, that she then misspoke, which subsequently doomed her.
  21. Well, in general better than last week. Nice of Bill to acknowledge that Biden's SOTU speech was pretty damn good. Loved De Niro, who has no problem playing villains, would not even consider playing Biden's predecessor. Brooks and Palmeri gave intelligent view points. I appreciated the debate on whether Biden should have more appearances or fewer. I agree that he should give more. Bill's cahones award, eh. that one woman looked like she lost more than 60 pounds (which is fine, good for her) and JK can suck it. there are evil women (from birth) criminals too. But Bill, do not piss off Philadelphia (and by possible extension KC and the TayTay posse) by dissin on our Jason Kelce. There are plenty of men with full beards/mustaches.
  22. Who cares if Trump likes gays, he appointed scotus judges that do not , the gop party does not, and Trump will do nothing when those two take away gay rights. He is really nothing but a popular figurehead for the base to be entertained by while the extremists roll us back a hundred years or more. Dr Phil, people do not need church as an excuse to get together with their family. Families can still schedule a day during the week to eat meal together. I am better than 2018, where I was worse than in 2016 because my taxes were raised in 2017. But now my wages have increased and I get to work from home half the week. So I don’t think that argument will work for all that many.
  23. Most the sketches would have been funnier if they wrote in Ayo’s catch phrase.
  24. I loved Peppermint’s speech. I hope they invite her back and other diverse people. loved John’s statement, it’s a game! But it is harder when one is talking about a couple hundred thousand dollars.
