- oh yea the 15-minute Attorney General who doubles as Ben Grimm - Jovian Oct 23, 12:46
- Only in the context of Diedrich Bader playing him in the movie - which as of yesterday, he has henceforth declined to consider. -- nm - Bery Delecto Oct 23, 12:45
- I literally do not. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 12:44 1
  - Iowa football!!! -- nm - David Oct 23, 12:55
~We go the love in automatic. Bang Bang or hear me shout it. Shoot, shoot, you better leave or hang on - hang on to yourself~ - Pippy - reactionary gumball Oct 23, 12:43 3
- have you listened to Cemetery Sun? -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 13:43
- I’d never heard that before. Good stuff 👍 -- nm - JD Oct 23, 12:52 1
  - the singer is a tall blend of Adam Ant & Brandon Urie. I can't tell who they sound like though. -- nm - Pippy - reactionary gumball Oct 23, 13:18
I watched the new season of The Terror in its entirety. I was unimpressed by these people. - Mop Oct 23, 12:34 1
- I dumped it after episode 5.. - Jovian Oct 23, 12:41
Rewatched the Watchmen movie last night. Man, Malin Åkerman is smoking in it, but so, soooooo bad at the acting thing... -- nm - Ender Oct 23, 12:31 16
- related. I wish Trophy Wife was still on the air. -- nm - Jovian Oct 23, 12:45 4
  - We've recently re-watched episodes of this. She's hysterical. -- nm - David Oct 23, 12:56 3
    - it was a sin it was not renewed. It just needed a better time slot. A second season and I think it would have been locked down. - Jovian Oct 23, 13:07 2
      - Yeah, I loved her and am glad she's on The Unicorn. Bert was really, really funny. -- nm - David Oct 23, 13:10 1
        
        Bert! Thats it. - Jovian Oct 23, 13:12
- Hallelujah -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 12:43
- I believe it is one of the best adaptations of a comic ever. And it is Zach Snyder's best. - Jovian Oct 23, 12:42 7
  - Dawn of the Dead -- nm - David Oct 23, 12:56 1
    - heh. I always forget he did this. - Jovian Oct 23, 13:12
  - I'm rereading the comic now and it's shocking how closely it follows so far. -- nm - Ender Oct 23, 12:46 4
    - Except for the end, which is actually better. -- nm - David Oct 23, 12:56 3
      - I'm 100% #TeamSquid. -- nm - Ender Oct 23, 12:58 2
        
        ... -- (pic) - David Oct 23, 13:11 [Attachment]
        
        word -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 13:00
- True. -- nm - Max Oct 23, 12:42
- I dug it -- nm - budice Oct 23, 12:34
So the Jets fined Kelechi Osemele for his 'fake' shoulder injury that turns out to be a real injury missed 'cause the Jets accidentally sent blank MRI's to the Dr's -- (link*) - decline Oct 23, 12:29 8
- I just don't understand what they're doing with him. They look terrible in this instance -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 12:52 1
  - it's really baffling -- nm - decline Oct 23, 13:03
- But did he see ghosts? -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 12:40 5
  - I must admit, the 'seeing ghosts' line seems a bit harmless and obvious based on the way Darnold played. Why were the Jets so up in arms about all - Diva Oct 23, 12:45 4
    - They're not supposed to use the audio to embarrass or show players in a bad light. He is being mocked because of this and that's not what - Krusty Oct 23, 12:55 2
      - I never have heard the rules for it. I just figured it was, "Hey, I am being recorded so I had better be careful what I say." -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 13:03 1
        
        Nope. It's run by NFL Films and there are people from NFL Films that clear things to be aired. This shouldn't have been cleared to air. - Krusty Oct 23, 13:24
    - I totally agree. I enjoyed the tweet I posted showing how much the Pats D man enjoyed it but, so? -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 12:47
“As an expat living in Canada, the more I live here, the more I'm convinced I'm actually stuck in some kind of cryptic horror nightmare country...” -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Oct 23, 12:10 15
- "The smell of barbecue beckons you out the door. When you take the step, you choke, your eyes burn, and you barely escape indoors." - Max Oct 23, 13:12
- the whole thing is quite wonderful. -- nm - Andie Oct 23, 13:05
- This one kills me in its accuracy. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Oct 23, 12:57 1
  - so true. -- nm - Andie Oct 23, 12:59
- (I wonder what he means by Middle City) - Reagen Oct 23, 12:31 6
  - i figured Toronto. Only new people actually say To-Ron-To. - Andie Oct 23, 12:41 2
    - The fun one here is that the locals don't realize they're saying "Hell-uh-fax". -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 12:42 1
      - heh -- nm - Andie Oct 23, 12:59
  - T.Dot, I took it to be. -- nm - Bery Delecto Oct 23, 12:34 2
    - Yeah, the weird thing is that elsewhere he refers to Toronto by name -- nm - Roger More Oct 23, 12:56 1
      - That's the changes taking a firmer grip on him. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 13:08
- (No one will judge for killing a goose. A festival may be created in your honour) -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 12:25 3
  - ... -- (link) - Bery Delecto Oct 23, 12:29 [youtube] 2
    - “I saw two Canada gooses mount a swan once and you have to know she told her friends about it.” -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 23, 12:55
    - That's exactly the first thing I thought of -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 12:31
Disneyland is ground zero of a measles outbreak!! -- (link) - decline Oct 23, 12:04 3
- Fucking anti-vaxxers. -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 12:17 2
  - Goofy is dumb AF -- nm - Pippy - reactionary gumball Oct 23, 12:41 1
    - Don't make me pick between you and Goofy. -- nm - David Oct 23, 12:58
Now this is a chicken sandwich I can get behind. -- (link) - GregW Oct 23, 11:43
Rep. Katie Porter is a national treasure -- (link) - decline Oct 23, 11:38 15
- Jack, what do you think about this legal pressure argument against a non-lawyer CEO? -- nm - Max Oct 23, 11:42 10
  - Legal pressure argument? -- nm - JackDawson Oct 23, 11:46 9
    - She seems to be asking him to act as his own lawyer, which would be irresponsible, but could also be like this morning's case - Max Oct 23, 11:49 8
      - I would assume that any legal position has been cleared by him or his GC and he’s familiar with most but not all of jt - JackDawson Oct 23, 11:51 7
        
        If you were his lawyer watching on tv, and he weighed in on the legal argument Facebook was making, would you be frustrated or okay with it? -- nm - Max Oct 23, 11:53 6
        
        Just like when trump comments on pending cases and it gets cited against him in court including the twitter ban litigation -- nm - JackDawson Oct 23, 12:01
        
        I’d murder him - JackDawson Oct 23, 12:01 4
        
        Which is why although I like Porter, if I were in his seat I'd have to restrain myself from responding with contempt for the question. - Max Oct 23, 12:11 3
        
        Isn’t she pointing out an inconsistency though not just asking the naked question ? -- nm - JackDawson Oct 23, 12:14 2
        
        Reps can make their points without the stunt questions. She was directly trying to pressure him into stating Facebook's legal position - Max Oct 23, 12:23 1
        
        Understood -- nm - JackDawson Oct 23, 12:34
- she always seems well prepared and is tough without grandstanding -- nm - prayformojo Oct 23, 11:41 3
  - I like her a lot too, but there's a fair amount of grandstanding there. -- nm - pmb Oct 23, 11:56 1
    - Yeah. Maybe not over the top, but it is there. -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 11:57
  - I would enjoy Porter taking on Warren, or anybody. "Welcome to This is Your Life!" "Yay!" "hosted by Katie Porter!" "Oh, shit." -- nm - Max Oct 23, 11:44
If I were a republican, I’d be adopting “human scum” as a badge of honor right now. -- nm - znufrii Oct 23, 11:35 1
- "Hands off! I worked very hard for that appellation! You can't have it!" -- nm - actual human scum living in a swamp Oct 23, 11:37
Look, I’m going to report that Bethesda is introducing a Fallout 76 premium subscription with full admission I used to pay for a premium Neopets one. -- (link) - Qale Oct 23, 11:07 8
- And it costs more than Xbox Game Pass per month. What a hot deal. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 11:50 1
  - An important thing to note is that only ONE person needs the subscription to create the private server, and your six friends can join without. - Qale Oct 23, 12:09
- That they announced this on Oct 23rd of all days is pretty damn funny though. -- nm - Qale Oct 23, 11:39
- Is there some missing punctuation here? -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 11:11 4
  - I mean, you could probably add more commas. You, can add commas, to pretty much, anything. -- nm - Qale Oct 23, 11:13 2
    - Comma splice. My old English teacher would fail you. -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Oct 23, 11:31 1
      - My English teachers did. And quite frequently, I should add. -- nm - Qale Oct 23, 12:11
  - definitely missing an umlaut or two -- nm - decline Oct 23, 11:13
Jim Harbaugh refutes claims he wants to leave Michigan for an NFL job -- (link) - Boooker Oct 23, 10:55 1
- ..until he does leave -- nm - budice Oct 23, 11:03
The Republicans need to come out and publically condemn this stunt. It is atrocious and people are so desensitized it isn't being seen as such. -- nm - Andie Oct 23, 10:39 25
- both Trump and McCarthy (house minority leader) were made aware of the stunt before it started -- nm - decline Oct 23, 11:15 6
  - There's this weird narrative they seem to be promoting as if this is the actual trial and they won't have a chance to mount a defense or question - pmb Oct 23, 11:22 5
    - ".. storm a castle that they already occupy" -- (link) - mud Oct 23, 11:24 1
      - snort -- nm - Pippy - reactionary gumball Oct 23, 11:30
    - I would not be surprised if Trump actually *does* think this. -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 11:24 2
      - I agree. I actually think he does. -- nm - pmb Oct 23, 11:25 1
        
        Too bad he does not have good people around him that can advise him on this stuff. - Spawn Oct 23, 11:56
- Hahahahahahahahah - JackDawson Oct 23, 10:41 14
  - oh, i don't expect it, but, if your government processes actually mean *anything*.... -- nm - Andie Oct 23, 10:44 13
    - To them, they haven’t since Barack Obama was elected (as a party platform) -- nm - JackDawson Oct 23, 10:45 7
      - At least. -- nm - znufrii Oct 23, 10:53 6
        
        It’s why it has to be said and repeated that if you vote for anyone with an R next to their name right now you’re choosing this actively - JackDawson Oct 23, 10:56 4
        
        Yes, especially those Local School board votes and for County Surveyor. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Oct 23, 15:15
        
        More importantly, it’s a reminder that Trump is an expression of their base authoritarian worldview, not an exception to it. -- (edited) - znufrii Oct 23, 11:18 1
        
        Yes -- nm - JackDawson Oct 23, 11:26
        
        lets not start this again -- nm - Pippy - reactionary gumball Oct 23, 11:04
        
        this -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 10:53
    - I remember back in the day when those things matters. Good times. -- nm - pmb Oct 23, 10:44 4
      - good times -- nm - Pippy - reactionary gumball Oct 23, 10:54 3
        
        MAKE TIMES GOOD AGAIN - hat Oct 23, 11:15
        
        your nick is perfect here. -- nm - amanda Oct 23, 11:13 1
        
        :) -- nm - Pippy - reactionary gumball Oct 23, 11:31
- It's getting harder and harder to defend the facts so they're attacking the process. -- nm - pmb Oct 23, 10:41 2
  - Yes. A typical thing when one senses a debate is lost. Attack the way in which it’s being carried out -- nm - JackDawson Oct 23, 10:42 1
    - "All process arguments are insincere, including this one." -- nm - Baron Witch Project Oct 23, 10:55
Adventure Time is returning with four new hour-long specials on HBO Max -- (link) - Booooker Oct 23, 10:38 1
- Which character dies first? My money's on Gunter. -- nm - Baron Witch Project Oct 23, 10:40
*snort* They've all realized how bad it is to tweet from inside an SCIF. "tweet from staff" -- (link) - decline Oct 23, 10:33 11
- "Tweeting for a friend." -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 10:57 3
  - L4! -- nm - Pippy - reactionary gumball Oct 23, 11:31
  - laughing. -- nm - amanda Oct 23, 10:59
  - If I get a Rolling Stones ear worm out of this... -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Oct 23, 10:59
- "tweet their way out of it" is genius-level imagery. -- nm - Bery Delecto Oct 23, 10:43 3
  - Boom -- (link) - Boooker Oct 23, 10:46 [youtube] 1
    - "tweet up stupid" -- nm - Boooker Oct 23, 10:47
  - Works for Trump. -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 10:44
- *cut to pictures of GOP Congressmen inside the SCIF tweeting from their phones* -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 10:37 2
  - Pennywise. Joker. And now these clowns. Sensing a trend here. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 10:38
  - And by "picture", I assume selfies. -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 10:38
Nothing to Lose was a pretty fun movie, and really deserves to be watched immediately after Shawshank Redemption. -- nm - Bery Delecto Oct 23, 10:32
Wow. Bethesda is on bad dope. A Fallout 76 premium subscription that costs *more* than Xbox Game Pass? Lmfao -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 10:31
The Irishman 100% (83), The Lighthouse 92% (175), Black and Blue 56% (16), Terminator Dark Fate 67% (43), The Kill Team 100% (9) -- nm - Boooker Oct 23, 10:31
we saw ad astra last night because it was $5 night at the movies and it was the only thing we wanted to see. - amanda Oct 23, 10:27 12
- Same, although I was more negative than that. I thought the writing was terrible. Almost all internal dialogue explaining everything that was - pmb Oct 23, 10:49 9
  - an interesting comment, and very apt. imagine for instance what bale could have done here. -- nm - amanda Oct 23, 11:12 8
    - Have I talked about this here? That Pitt is an overrated actor? - Spawn Oct 23, 11:20 7
      - Probably not as far, but he's unquestionably worked hard at his craft and done stuff that a man of his appearance shouldn't need to - Will Hunting Oct 23, 12:06 1
        
        Will agree with the first two, but Fight Club? Come on. -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 12:07
      - I dunno, he was pretty great in OUATH -- nm - mud Oct 23, 11:27 4
        
        He is good in roles with swagger. -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 11:43
        
        I just rewatched Allied last night. Sometimes he's genius and other times, he just moves through scenes. -- nm - Pippy - reactionary gumball Oct 23, 11:32 2
        
        I wonder which side of that coin is director influence? -- nm - Bery Delecto Oct 23, 11:34 1
        
        good question. In his case, it likely makes a huge difference -- nm - Pippy - reactionary gumball Oct 23, 12:10
- spoils - budice Oct 23, 10:35 1
  - mmmm I can see that. -- nm - amanda Oct 23, 10:44
I feel managing the Cubs might be a pay cut for Dave Ross. -- nm - David Oct 23, 10:25
More Canadian Politics Talk! We talked about Scheer but do we think the NDP knives come out for Singh? - Boooker Oct 23, 10:25 4
- No. They have to try again with him, but he was grossly unprepared leading up to the campaign and... - Name Withheld By Request Oct 23, 10:47
- I doubt it, I thought he ran a pretty good campaign. Re Your IM, Bob Rae, and Jack Layton are the two I think of first. -- nm - Andie Oct 23, 10:37
- ... why? He is the captain now. -- nm - Bery Delecto Oct 23, 10:26 1
  - Look at my teeth. That's how committed I am to this bit. -- nm - Baron Witch Project Oct 23, 10:29
