      - The goddess. -- nm - David Dec 17, 14:52

Driving home, past that house that had to Trump stand up. He has a new red flag with some sort of an emblem on it and I swear it says Trump Nation. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Dec 17, 14:23 1

the first episode of The Stand is really gross. - mud Dec 17, 14:14 9
- Did it open with a little cowbell? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 17, 19:27
- i've just learned about The Stand and The Wilds today - any shows i'm missing that have come out recently? -- nm - co-lalalala-lalala-in 🔔 Dec 17, 14:25 7
  - If only there was a place that told you about all the streaming shows you should be watching... -- (link) - Mop Dec 17, 14:27 [spotify] 6
    - I texted David that you missed a big one this week. The Grand Tour has its first new episode in a year called A Massive Hunt. It was supposed to debut - Krusty Dec 17, 14:42 3
      - *rubs eyes, reads again* -- nm - con_carne Dec 17, 14:54
      - I have it on the schedule for next week. Amazon's screwing with me. -- nm - Mop Dec 17, 14:52 1
        
        It was scheduled for Dec. 18th -- nm - Krusty Dec 17, 15:11
    - *sigh* -- nm - co-lalalala-lalala-in 🔔 Dec 17, 14:32 1
      - i'm adding Moonbase 8, TWD: World Beyond, Lord Byrd, Warrior, Gangs of London, Black Narcissus, maybe Monsterland. -- nm - co-lalalala-lalala-in 🔔 Dec 17, 14:51

  - Perhaps. - ty97 Dec 17, 14:10
I see the Magaians have now set their sights on Chief Justice Roberts and linking him up with Jeffrey Epstein. -- nm - Jovian Dec 17, 14:04
WSJ: Disney's Bob Iger interested in being U.S. Ambassador to China -- (link) - budice Dec 17, 13:59 1
- I'd argue the administration is even more interested than Iger is. - Mop Dec 17, 14:11
AEW: yeah Vince isn't worried about ratings this week. AEW took a 19% drop... - Remlik Dec 17, 13:41 36
- The problem isn't AEW vs. NXT, the problem is Raw's total rating vs. AEW's demo rating. -- nm - Tim Dec 17, 13:50 25
  - And WWE's total inability to indoctrinate anyone under the age of 50 into being a wrestling fan, something AEW has done easily. -- nm - David Dec 17, 13:54 24
    - And that isn’t even getting to the fact that women are into AEW. -- nm - Qale Dec 17, 14:24 3
      - In that demo...Wardlow is the demo god. -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 14:27 2
        
        Naw man. It’s Jurassic Express. They like the intellectual dinosaur, the model Jungleboy, and even the little scamp Marko. -- nm - Qale Dec 17, 14:51 1
        
        I saw a video of Marko singing the other day and he's pretty good -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 14:55
    - They haven't created a star since John Cena, and that was like 15 years ago. - Tim Dec 17, 13:57 19
      - Bryan's the only star since CM Punk. Cena's like Rollins, just somebody they pushed down everybody's throat. -- nm - David Dec 17, 14:03 18
        
        Bryan was a star. Now he's a solid hand. -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 14:09 6
        
        Glad he's still got pull backstage and is using it to push others. - Tim Dec 17, 14:14 5
        
        I agree. I think, if he wants it, he'll be a big help backstage -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 14:23
        
        It's remarkable how little they cared that fans loved Kofi's ascension. - David Dec 17, 14:16 3
        
        That was truly one of the dumbest and worst things they've ever done. Kofi could have been like Daniel Bryan and they just threw it away. -- nm - pmb Dec 17, 14:29
        
        And was squashed by Brock in 3 seconds and then went right back to being a tag team guy. -- nm - Tim Dec 17, 14:19 1
        
        yeah that was a mistake. Big one. -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 14:32
        
        Yeah, but he went mainstream. Nobody since then has, as much as they've tried to make fetch happen. - Tim Dec 17, 14:06 10
        
        On your IM yup Becky was their biggest star yet since Cena. Granted she had 2 stellar castmates in Ronda and Charlotte to bring it out of her... -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 14:08 9
        
        Well, 1. No one cares about Charlotte. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 17, 14:17 8
        
        Going to slightly disagree. She's one of the best wrestlers they have on the roster as far as talent goes. You can laugh, but she's amazing. - Remlik Dec 17, 14:26 6
        
        Thing is, they have the most talented roster in the world (AEW can’t hold a candle) but they can’t create but 1 compelling storyline at a time. - Will Hunting Dec 17, 14:33 4
        
        The people in charge (Vince, Kevin Dunn, freaking Brother Love) are doing the same boring crap they were doing in the 90s. - Tim Dec 17, 14:36 3
        
        yup. Though Smackdown is better than Raw. But man it's plodding. -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 14:49 2
        
        Roman is carrying the show. -- nm - Tim Dec 17, 14:50 1
        
        no question. -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 14:56
        
        Agreed. She is the most talented female wrestler, probably ever. -- nm - pmb Dec 17, 14:28
        
        ding -- nm - Tim Dec 17, 14:18
- Sure he's not. It's always great news to have record-low viewers three times in two months. - David Dec 17, 13:44 9
  - I actually agree with you. But in his head he isn't thinking that. -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 14:07 8
    - I cant watch it without crowd reactions and the whole thunderdome thing just doesnt cut it - eag Dec 17, 14:11
    - Oh, I disagree. They're getting major grief from USA Network about the ratings. -- nm - David Dec 17, 14:09 6
      - are you guessing that or do you know that? I wouldn't be surprised if they are. -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 14:15 3
        
        I'm inferring it from stuff I've read about the overall dissatisfaction at USA Network, which was the industry's titan 12 years ago. -- nm* - David Dec 17, 14:17 2
        
        They ain’t exactly patching a hole with WWE. Name 1 USA show that has a fraction of the buzz Monk / Psych / White Collar / Burn Notice had or even - Will Hunting Dec 17, 14:56
        
        gotcha. -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 14:22
      - There's definitely someone at Fox wondering if they can get out of the SmackDown deal. -- nm - Tim Dec 17, 14:13 1
        
        They should have clauses for low ratings. It still usually wins the demo on Fridays, but that's a small victory these days. -- nm - David Dec 17, 14:14
This is how you approach GA voters -- (link) - budice Dec 17, 13:38 1
- *micdrop* -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 17, 13:49
I mailed my holiday cards a week and a half ago. My family in RI has not received theirs yet. Yikes. -- nm - kelly Dec 17, 13:29 5
- Yeah, it takes about twice the time this year. -- nm - mara Dec 17, 13:51
- I’m waiting for a package from my parents that was supposed to get here last Friday. -- nm - znufrii Dec 17, 13:48
- i got yours today (and Jax's and Diva's). Mail is crazy inconsistent this year. -- nm - Andie Dec 17, 13:47 2
  - I got Diva’s today too! -- nm - kelly Dec 17, 13:51 1
    - And I got Beaker's. -- nm - MistletoeMeg 🎄🎅🎄 Dec 17, 14:44
Mom is finally home, five days, they kept the covid/non sides so separate that she was put into what used to be the children's ward -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 17, 13:27 1

Mark Rober does his glitterbomb porch pirate trap for a 3rd year in a row. -- (link) - Mop Dec 17, 13:26 [youtube] 4
- nice. any tech improvements this year? -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 17, 13:49 1
  - Yeah. He keeps adding layers of technology to it. And layers of trolling. More glitter, more stink. -- nm - Mop Dec 17, 13:53
- love those videos -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 13:39 1
  - Near the end he mentions that he teamed up with the guy who scams online scammers (I watch that channel... it's eerie) and they're working on a similar project. -- nm* - Mop Dec 17, 13:41
10 years after the Arab Spring, why did so many of the revolutions fail? -- (link) - spamlet Dec 17, 13:11 7
- Without reading the article, a revolution doesn't automatically make for strong democratic institutions. But also... - Roger More Dec 17, 13:27 2
  - exceptionally weak foreign policy by Obama allowed Syria and Libya both to spiral out of control imo. -- nm - Jovian Dec 17, 13:58 1
    - Contributing factor, definitely. -- nm - Roger More Dec 17, 16:59
- democracy and feudalistic strongman government don't co-exist. -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 17, 13:24
- Capitalism. -- nm - mara Dec 17, 13:20
- Because democracy is on it's last legs. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 17, 13:19 1
  - yep. And the next American fascist that comes to power, who will be smarter, younger, and better looking, will kick the last legs of it for good. - Jovian Dec 17, 13:28
