    - I dunno. That’s why I’m asking. -- nm - spamlet Jan 14, 12:03 4
      - Netflix. -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 12:07 1
        
        Danke. I'd never heard of it before yesterday -- nm - spamlet Jan 14, 12:14
      - The guy on first. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 12:05 1
        
        Who. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 14, 12:08
According to a leak, the Bioshock Collection is heading to the Switch. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 11:52 2

McConnell: "in all likelihood" the impeachment trial against President Trump will begin next Tuesday. -- nm - decline Jan 14, 11:35 1
- "...and end next Tuesday." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 14, 12:06
"and now we can solve this algebraically..." "Alge-wha? You're just making up words now." "It's the adverbial form of algebra." "...Cool." -- nm* - Classroom Transcripts Jan 14, 11:33 1
- "Adverb? You mean those weird animals with the noses who eat ants?" -- nm - Brrrron Jan 14, 11:50
Gruden being Gruden -- (link) - decline Jan 14, 11:29 1
- Marinelli's the best defensive line coach in the game. I coveted him for the Falcons. -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:50
in good news, Julie Strain's condition has apparently been upgraded to: Alive -- (link*) - prayformojo Jan 14, 11:19 3
- "Strain's condition is not known" - decline Jan 14, 11:22 2
  - I'm pretty sure I've seen that movie - prayformojo Jan 14, 11:23 1
    - Did it star Julie Strain? -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:50
"every iHeartRadio website has removed the personal blogs and bios for its on-air personalities at more than 850 radio stations" -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:00 29
- I really hate iheartradio. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 14, 11:51
- Consolidating all the websites so they could be run by the CEO's 13-year-old son should have been a clue. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 11:41
- I'm not seeing anything official. Are they just getting rid of basically any on-air talent? -- nm - spamlet Jan 14, 11:07 18
  - Here -- (link) - Remlik Jan 14, 11:09 12
    - And now a list starting... - Dark Callisto Jan 14, 11:28 1
      - If it had to end, I'm glad it ended at a Hooters in Jeffersonville. -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 14, 11:36
    - so more bob-style stuff and more stations where you are hearing a DJ thousands of miles away -- nm - ty97 Jan 14, 11:27 2
      - Meanwhile, my local non-commercial station is pretending it’s 1975 -- (link) - znufrii, human scum Jan 14, 11:46 1
        
        Ooh, modernizing their playlist -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 11:50
    - It lists 10 (!) Presidents, the COO and CEO. If only there were some other way they could have cut costs... -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:10 6
      - "there will be some employee dislocation -- some by geography and some by function -- which is the unfortunate price we pay to modernize the company." -- nm - who's this 'we' kemosabe? Jan 14, 11:55
      - get this..and this is a good scam...the head guy Pitt man...he owns a plane, that he leases to iheart so he can fly around. Thats $3 Mill a year -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 11:14 4
        
        That's 50 employees at $60k a year. This is why corporations suck. -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:17 3
        
        Is there a private equity fund involved -- nm - Berylorian Jan 14, 11:26 2
        
        They went bankrupt last year so probably. -- nm - spamlet Jan 14, 11:37 1
        
        Nobody liquidates the work force like equity firms. -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:53
  - Not everybody. However, they're getting of enough people that they don't want blogs and bios live right now. -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:08 4
    - and they're consolidating down into clusters meaning people from out of the market will be voice tracking into cities they're not in -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 11:09 3
      - I thought that was already largely being done? -- nm - spamlet Jan 14, 11:10 2
        
        it was. But now they are full on embracing a run towards it. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 12:02
        
        outside of the Bob/Jack FM etc no-DJ channels, I've only really seen 'out of market' DJs in a bit of syndication -- (edited) - ty97 Jan 14, 11:32
- effin' robots -- nm - decline Jan 14, 11:06
- Put another outdated business out to pasture. -- nm - Qale Jan 14, 11:05 4
  - I was reading their social media earlier. It's like 70% blackpink/BTS. I'm not even joking. -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:09 3
    - That's why I couldn't find anything. Searching them on twitter was all spam. - spamlet Jan 14, 11:11 1
      - Yes, it's a strange combination of scheduled posts and listener/employee fury. -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:12
    - I didn’t mean to come across so impersonally glib. My anger is at the conglomerate, not the individuals. -- nm - Qale Jan 14, 11:11
- oof. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 11:02 1
  - and I just looked at the stations and yeah they did. Jesus. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 11:02
This has been the longest week ever.....oh right, somehow it is just freakin' Tuesday! -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:53 8
- Still being dumb with Dry January? -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 10:59
- LOL. Do you have a 7pm meeting tonight (our latest start time ever) and a meeting Saturday and a meeting Tuesday and a meeting Wednesday? -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 10:56 6
  - I have a 7pm meeting tonight with my couch and a nice glass of wine -- nm - decline Jan 14, 11:07 3
    - And literally as I was replying in this thread I get an email with the resignation of a (very good) board member. Thank you Stress God of 2020. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 11:47
    - Sofa-gnon blanc. -- nm - Brrrron Jan 14, 11:10 1
      - you should totally market this -- nm - prayformojo Jan 14, 11:13
  - My first meeting was 730am yesterday. The last finished at 930pm. -- nm - ty97 Jan 14, 10:57 1
    - That is why you get paid the big bucks. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 11:04

Awkafina's new show on Comedy Central gets a season 2 renewal before it's debut -- (link) - Remlik Jan 14, 10:41 6
- Hey, I was sorry to hear about your situation. It's their loss, not that the robots will know it. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:42 3
  - thanks. Lots of people where let go over there today. It's crazy. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 10:46 2
    - sorry to hear about this, pete -- nm - prayformojo Jan 14, 11:09
    - Their BS press release makes me stabby. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:51
- There's no more pilot season. Season 1 for a series is "pilot season". -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 10:42
- They know to strike while the iron is hot -- nm - spamlet Jan 14, 10:42
Happy birthday, PFM! Let's take our families somewhere to celebrate next week! -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:33 3
- Thanks - that's a great idea! It would give me an opportunity to shake hands with my favorite dwarf! -- nm - prayformojo Jan 14, 10:44 2
  - Doc? -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:46 1
    - Robert Reich -- nm - Brrrron Jan 14, 10:48
well damm. I apparently made two people cry after a meeting this morning. - tRuMaN Jan 14, 10:32 1
- meanie -- nm - decline Jan 14, 10:33
Reagan: You have to get these for your class -- (link) - oblique Jan 14, 10:31 6
- I'll run screaming before I teach sex ed. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 10:34 5
  - "Here are a list of movies required to be viewed for this class...." -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:43 4
    - Don't you dare leave off Midsommar. -- nm - Brrrron Jan 14, 10:45 3
      - Mother. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 10:46 2
        
        Don't make it weird, Mop. -- nm - Brrrron Jan 14, 11:00 1
        
        That's my thing. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 11:40
More Goop nonsense. Just... ugh. -- (link) - Mop Jan 14, 10:30
This looks like a Doctor Who alien -- (link) - TWuG Jan 14, 10:29
New Fuser for the main printer in my office (very high volume): $279. New printer (almost the same model): $289 - decline Jan 14, 10:22
Discovered today: my students know what Top Gun is, but don't know what Smashmouth is. - Reagen Jan 14, 10:18 6
- Shrek is love, Shrek is life. -- nm - Qale Jan 14, 11:08
- And they don't stop coming! -- (link) - Remlik Jan 14, 10:35 [youtube]
- I take that as a sign of hope -- nm - JD Jan 14, 10:32
- feeling old? (did you see this?) -- (link) - decline Jan 14, 10:19 1
  - It's a cultural thing. They recognize Martin but not Seinfeld. That's fair. Pop culture has become so diverse that we can't expect anything else. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 11:37
- DANGER ZONE!!! -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 10:19
Thank you for the happy birthdays -- nm - prayformojo Jan 14, 10:17
ty, I’m assuming that Warren stays above 15% - spamlet Jan 14, 10:12 27
- Iowa is so scattered at this point, I don't really know what to expect. - ty97 Jan 14, 10:14 26
  - I didn’t really mention the media narrative but that’s a part of it. - spamlet Jan 14, 10:18 1
    - I know you didn't mention it, but it really does matter, alas. - ty97 Jan 14, 10:58
  - I forsee The Ruthless Rise of Cuzzin Todd -- nm - prayformojo Jan 14, 10:16 2
    - *tents fingers* Excellent. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 14, 11:04 1
      - Rick Santorum, Ted Cruz... the rule of three! -- nm - Roger More Jan 14, 11:16
  - So - can someone remind me again why in the blue hell Iowa has such a huge hand in determining who runs for president? -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jan 14, 10:15 19
    - If you ain't first, you're last! -- nm - Iowa Jan 14, 12:05
    - Gotta start somewhere. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 14, 11:04
    - It's a large enough state to not be door to door campaigning; small enough to be a reasonable test of organization. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:42 1
      - and they have a great state fair -- nm - decline Jan 14, 10:44
    - Tradition. But Iowa isn't terribly representative of the Democratic voters nationwide. It's a caucus, so it skews older and much whiter - TWuG Jan 14, 10:25 8
      - Also, part of why it was a big deal that Obama won Iowa in 2008. -- nm - Roger More Jan 14, 10:34 7
        
        (In a wiki-hole now - "name the winner of the 1992 Iowa Democratic primary" is a fiendishly tough question) -- nm - Roger More Jan 14, 10:39 6
        
        I'll guess Dick Gephardt. -- nm - Brrrron Jan 14, 10:41 1
        
        This was my guess. -- nm - Tim Jan 14, 10:42
        
        Wasn't that Harkin? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:41 3
        
        Yeah, it's the main reason why he ran. He thought that slam dunk win might trigger momentum. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:41 2
        
        Oh right, Gephardt was '88. -- nm - Brrrron Jan 14, 10:42 1
        
        92 was the year of Tsongas! -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:47
    - Useful barometer ("It's pronounced 'thermometer.'") for forecasting the middle-ground, lower-middle class Will It Play In Peoria vote. - Brrrron Jan 14, 10:21
    - I think it being the first caucus is what makes it noteworthy. I'm not sure if it has as much a hand in determining aside from trends. Trump lost Iowa - Diva Jan 14, 10:18 4
      - Right. People are far too obsessed with Iowa right now. Super Tuesday is what matters. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:24 3
        
        To a point, yes. There is so much hype about IA/NH (to a much lesser extent NV/SC) that the field will likely reduce by Super Tuesday. - ty97 Jan 14, 10:55 2
        
        Honestly, after NH, if we're not down to 4 (at most), someone's had a really good IA/NH who wasn't expected. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 11:01
        
        Realistically, the field's been down to four for a while. It's to Pete's credit that he lifted himself into the upper echelon. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:59
  - I'd expect corn. -- nm - Brrrron Jan 14, 10:15
Sucks to be broke. Complete 30 Rock for $29.99, Complete The Office for $39.99, Complete X-Files for $69.99, Complete Buffy for $39.99. -- (link) - Mop Jan 14, 10:03 3
- I have no power watching skills. I cannot commit to anything with more than 30-40 episodes. -- nm - Brrrron Jan 14, 10:15
- that's like 3 years of Disney+ -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:12
- Arrrrr, matey. There be other answers. -- nm - colin Jan 14, 10:11
Two side thoughts: 1. Didn't realize Williamson had dropped out. 2. Didn't realize Patrick was still in. -- nm - ty97 Jan 14, 10:00 2
- She didn't drop out. She merely ascended to a higher plane of existence -- nm - decline Jan 14, 10:09 1
  - It is like he doesn't even read these boards. -- nm* - Spawn Jan 14, 10:16
DOOM Eternal - Trailer 2 -- (link) - Shaun Jan 14, 09:57 [youtube] 1
- Proof once again that everything you did before is pointless. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 11:40
Roll Poll: There are two candidates left in the primary: Biden and Mayor Pete. Who do you vote for? -- nm - ty97 Jan 14, 09:55 22
- Pete. I just really believe in my heart that Biden isn't cut out for the job as much as he wants it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 12:49
- and from B2: I expect it to be Biden. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 14, 12:07
- Is there any possible way that is the Final 2? I would think one of the 2 pretty much has to be Warren or Bernie. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 14, 12:06
- Pete. -- nm - Qale Jan 14, 11:10
- Whoever has the best chance to beat Trump is the correct, and only answer. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 10:48
- Pete vs Biden ---- Pete in a heartbeat without hesitation. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:38 1
  - This is basically me. - spamlet Jan 14, 10:43
- Biden -- nm - JaxSean Jan 14, 10:26
- Biden -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:19
- my head: Biden, my heart: Pete - Jovian Jan 14, 10:10
- Pete. -- nm - colin Jan 14, 10:10
- Biden -- nm - eag Jan 14, 10:02
- Biden -- nm - decline Jan 14, 10:02
- Most likely Biden at this point. I have concerns about both. Would have to wait and see. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 14, 09:59
- Pete. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 09:57
- Biden, not close -- nm - budice Jan 14, 09:56
- Pete. Though if the polling numbers at that point showed me that Biden easily beats Trump and Pete doesn't, I'd flip. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 14, 09:56 1
  - This -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 10:18
- Pete -- nm - Max Jan 14, 09:56
- Biden. He'll roll over, but at least has executive experience that Pete lacks. Pete will get rolled and not even know it. -- nm - TWuG Jan 14, 09:56
- Gut reaction: Pete, probably. -- (edited) - znufrii, human scum Jan 14, 09:55 1
  - The harder decision for me would be between Biden and Sanders. -- nm - znufrii, human scum Jan 14, 10:02
