Biden speaking now on the 500k milestone. There's an annoying sound in the background like the Astros banging garbage cans. -- nm - Max Feb 22, 15:10
Random: The Mario warp pipes including in the next Animal Crossing update will work as one might expect, warping you between them. -- nm - IAmQale Feb 22, 14:46 2
- Also: I saw somewhere that Lost Vikings and Rock n Roll Racing was either getting a re-release or has already been released. Both were excellent. -- nm - IAmQale Feb 22, 15:02

It's fun how years and years into the role, there's words that Katie McGrath can't shake her Irish accent for - Reagen Feb 22, 14:31 2
- She’s lovely. -- nm - spamlet Feb 22, 14:39
- Dangit, I noticed this about someone else just recently and now I can't remember who. - Max Feb 22, 14:33
Decide my appetizer. Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls, or Jalapeño Popper Egg Rolls. -- nm - Ender Feb 22, 14:21 9
- I know this post is making me get Jalapeño Poppers from my local tavern tonight. -- nm - Jovian Feb 22, 14:59
- Yes - Pippy Feb 22, 14:30 3
  - They're pretty expensive, and I don't want to eat just egg rolls for dinner. The one that loses will get ordered the next time I order from this plac -- nm - Ender Feb 22, 14:38 2
    - are we not supposed to eat just egg rolls for dinner? - Pippy Feb 22, 14:52 1
      - Let’s see, some have meat, veggies, and then the wrapper for your carbs. Seems like a legit meal to me. -- nm - IAmQale Feb 22, 15:05
- Crab Rangoon Popper rolls -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 22, 14:24 2
  - things of that nature -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 14:28 1
    - In the spring we'd make meat helmets -- nm* - con_carne Feb 22, 14:31
- Crab -- nm - Flavorize Feb 22, 14:24
Listening to SITV for the first time. One of you sounds like my uncle...it's weird. -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 14:17 14
- I hope it's not me! -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 22, 14:26 6
  - Ha! -- nm - Krusty Feb 22, 14:34
  - *snicker* -- nm - Max Feb 22, 14:31
  - *snort* - Pippy Feb 22, 14:31 3
    - sometimes the pre-show is better than the show! -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 14:32 2
      - Patreon bonus! -- nm - Tim Feb 22, 15:05
      - SITV needs a Jackie Chan-style outtakes outtro! -- nm* - Max Feb 22, 14:34
- I listened to it at 1.5 speed, which I think makes them all sounds like 20 somethings. Like Empire Records, but for streaming content -- nm - Flavorize Feb 22, 14:23 6
  - I must sound like I just did a whole lot of speed. -- nm - Tim Feb 22, 14:56 2
    - Honestly, it’s all good, barely think about the voices. I loved every minute of this last episode. Good stuff! -- nm - Flavorize— Feb 22, 15:12 1
      - Thanks for your support! -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 15:16
  - When I get excited, I must sound like I’m on crack. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 14:33 2
    - Not that bad. More like Tom Cruise jumping on the couch 🛋 -- nm - Flavorize— Feb 22, 14:49 1
      - That’s what I was going for. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 15:16
SITV: I would think the bump for Goodburger is just because Kenan had his show debut last week. 🤷‍♂️ -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 22, 14:11 15
- But those ratings are from mid-January. -- nm - David Feb 22, 15:00 1
  - Then the show has nothing to do with it. Maybe like Kim said they just wanted to push something with Kenan knowing he was in the news. -- nm - Krusty Feb 22, 15:11
- Almost certainly. I’m still chuckling. When Tim hit me with “Hey Raul!” I freaking panicked and couldn’t find the unmute button. There was silence for literally 30 seconds. -- nm* - Mop Feb 22, 14:17 2
  - I wasn’t sure you got where I was going there for a moment. -- nm - Tim Feb 22, 15:04
  - Ha! Good editing. -- nm - Krusty Feb 22, 14:24
- Listening to this now, and just got through that part. -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 14:14
- to top 10 in movies? That would be a pretty large bump for that. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 14:14 2
  - Yes. Between people looking for more from him and them pushing it because he's in something current I think that's the cause. I'm doubtful -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 22, 14:18 1
    - Fwiw, classic Nick and Disney Channel stuff does quite well. Those are the reboots they should be considering. - David Feb 22, 15:08
- I remember NF pushing it at me at the splash screen even though I never watch movies like it. -- nm - con_carne Feb 22, 14:14 5
  - I think that is exactly what is happening. People are just randomly turning whatever is on the splash screen - Pippy Feb 22, 14:16
  - I mean this is it, the streamers choose back catalogue stuff to promote and push. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 14:14 3
    - There's also a weird moment when a film's closing credits start. If you're not quick with the remote, there's no telling what clip will start playing - con_carne Feb 22, 14:30
    - "I will now sell five copies of The Three EPs by The Beta Band." "Do it." -- nm - Max Feb 22, 14:23
    - But I'm thinking it's not random and is based on something like there being an actor in it that's in something new or current that's - Krusty Feb 22, 14:16
re Snyder below, who's the biggest black sheep among MCU directors and producers? - Max Feb 22, 14:11 5
- Whedon -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 14:25
- Whedon -- nm - Ender Feb 22, 14:23 3
  - now he is. But I don't recalls any stories from anyone on those sets about him.....yet. -- nm - Remlik Feb 22, 14:25 2
    - There's a reason, not necessarily abuse related, why he wasn't brought back for future Avengers movies. -- nm - Ender Feb 22, 15:24 1
      - At the time, Whedon complained repeatedly about Marvel oversight. -- nm - David Feb 22, 15:46
Vanity Fair extended piece on Justice League Snyder Cut. The most despicable part of it all are the WB executives sucking Snyder’s dick. - Mop Feb 22, 13:58 10
- “...some would say sexist...” — the rest are blind. - Will Hunting Feb 22, 15:15
- In the amount of time and effort WB has spent on this, Marvel would have made three new movies that turn out to be Global blockbusters. -- nm - Dano Feb 22, 14:06 1
  - (and I'm not even a Marvel fan) -- nm - Dano Feb 22, 14:07
- Still don't understand why they asked Whedon to start with, his style is so different to Snyder. It's like asking Wes Anderson to take over. - LMS Feb 22, 14:05 1
  - "Hey he made Avengers with a bunch of heroes he can do it here as well!" Warner Brothers thought they could plug him in and go. -- nm - Remlik Feb 22, 14:21
- (I actually didn't think it was that bad, just dull and unmemorable) -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 14:02 2
  - (This reeks of a marketing person retconning things to satisfy their internal narrative) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 14:05
  - Exactly. But WB needs to fluff Snyder’s ego now, and it’s acceptable to throw Joss Whedon under the bus. They’re all just a craven bunch. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 14:05
- haven't read it yet, but Tsujihara got a $60 Mil bonus if Justice League released at certain time. It wasn't going to move again. So dumb. -- nm* - Remlik Feb 22, 14:00 1
  - That’s... a crazy amount of money. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 14:02
I think the Gravel Institute can help simplify some important topics, but they jump the shark with this one. - Mop Feb 22, 13:47 [youtube]

      - 2/2, neither guesses -- nm - rollo Feb 22, 14:16

      - 2/2 both guesses -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 22, 13:57
Some behind the scenes wardrobe stuff from WandaVision without any spoilers (I think) from the latest episode. Yes, they had a live studio audience. -- (link*) - Mop Feb 22, 13:37 [youtube]
Could you be more specific? -- (link) - ty97 Feb 22, 13:31 9
- Found him: "Rapper" Young Pharaoh -- (link) - MDH Feb 22, 13:46 2
  - wow...his grift is shameless. -- nm - Remlik Feb 22, 13:58
  - They should invite D-Day to replace him. -- nm - Dano Feb 22, 13:56
- He has been replaced by the Proud Boys founder. -- nm - pmb Feb 22, 13:43 1
  - A canadian? Blech! -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 13:44
- The replies are all a variant on the same joke. I’ll allow it. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 13:39
- Cancel Culture! -- nm - Dano Feb 22, 13:39
- "Okay, which of you wise-asses invited a black guy to speak?" -- nm - TWuG Feb 22, 13:36
- #freedomofspeak -- nm - Max Feb 22, 13:35
I would totally goof around like this if I had a jeep -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 22, 13:26

I think Discovery+ is the streaming service most likely to fail. -- (edited) - Inigo Feb 22, 13:25 8
- On the other hand isn't it all ancillary for them? How expensive can it be for them to administer? -- nm - Dano Feb 22, 13:59 1
  - Exactly. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 14:07
- I have discovery plus. I got it for hgtv since I would have to pay in excess of $80 per month for a cable package that includes it. - amanda jeans Feb 22, 13:56 3
  - can you confirm a rumor? Joanna + Chip Gaines were suppose to literally OWN this new channel. Do they? - Pippy Feb 22, 14:11 2
    - I haven't had HGTV in years so I didn't know they were off. there is a thing called "magnolia network preview" in my navigation. ? -- nm - amanda jeans Feb 22, 14:58 1
      - Hmmmmm. Interesting. Thank you. -- nm - Pippy Feb 22, 15:00
- It’s $4.99. I think it’s likely to be one of the most profitable streaming services. - Mop Feb 22, 13:42
- do they include all the documentaries they aired in the UK and other countries not here? -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 22, 13:30
It's not a year if CPAC doesn't have to disinvite a speaker -- (link) - ty97 Feb 22, 13:24 14
- I will say my daughter and I have been stunned by the amount of anti-semitism that has been coming out of the black community in the last year or 2. - pmb Feb 22, 13:40 6
  - I could see how black culture could be upset at how much America cares for Israel when they’ve got others to tend to at home. -- nm - IAmQale Feb 22, 14:40 1
    - That's not the nature of the response. It's more that Jews have become the focus of blame for oppressing black people (which is hard to understand - pmb Feb 22, 15:20
  - It’s not new at all. See Louis Farrakhan. -- nm - spamlet Feb 22, 14:14 1
    - Sure. But, I'm really focused on more mainstream (and particularly celebrity) anti-semitism that's been getting mostly waved off without much - pmb Feb 22, 14:25
  - Ice Cube and Josh Malina have gone at it a couple of times -- nm - Remlik Feb 22, 13:59 1
    - Yeah, and there are others. The thing I find amazing is that there is very little pushback against it. You don't see Ice Cube getting backlash the - pmb Feb 22, 14:11
- Is it broadly stereotypically true that Conservatives are anti-Semitic and Pro-Israel? - Dano Feb 22, 13:28 6
  - The first thing maybe, but definitely the second thing. Foreign policy tends to be the same between parties, historically speaking. -- (edited) - con_carne Feb 22, 13:40 3
    - Stereotypically at least I always considered the Democratic party not to be anti-Israel, but to be more sympathetic towards Palestinians. -- nm - Dano Feb 22, 13:44 2
      - I think the difference is the democrats view this as a political and security issue. The republicans tend to view this from an evangelical standpoint. -- nm - pmb Feb 22, 13:45 1
        
        Human rights more than politics, I'd say. -- nm - mara Feb 22, 14:05
  - I wonder if he's a Black Israelite. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 13:34 1
    - (yes, this appears to be so) -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 13:35
Heh. Steven Seagal wishes he looked this cool while eating a sando. -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 22, 13:22 2

Feb. 22 Birthdays: Paul Dooley (93), James Hong & Rebecca Schull (92), Katharine, Duchess of Kent & Nicholas Pileggi (88), Judy Cornwell (81) -- (edited) - Max Feb 22, 13:13 2
- Yay, James Hong! He must've found that girl with green eyes. -- nm - Fozzie Baron Feb 22, 13:47
- I was shocked that Kyle was 72. He's 62. That makes more sense. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 22, 13:21
David's not weird. When you follow a show that releases weekly, you are experiencing something together with other people. That's rarely a bad thing. - con_carne Feb 22, 13:13 6
- Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of everything-released-at-once. I like what The Expanse did this season, with three episodes at once and then one a week -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 13:14 5
  - Artistically, I can see liking a full season drop. Getting to complete production in peace without having to deal with fan "outcry" probably has its - con_carne Feb 22, 13:18
  - I have enjoyed watching WandaVision every Friday night. It's nice to have a specific thing to wait for and i actually focus on it way more than when - Andie Feb 22, 13:17 3
    - It kind of depends on the show/situation for me. - Dark Callisto Feb 22, 13:24 1
      - Same especially after Ep 6 -- nm - eag Feb 22, 13:26
    - It also especially with WandaVision it makes you think and theorize more -- nm - eag Feb 22, 13:20
Totally not surprised Krusty enjoyed Cuckoo, it's basically his two favourite comedians in the same show. - LMS Feb 22, 13:12 9
- It's rather crazy but even the Twilight dude is enjoyable in the show. Greg Davies never fails to make me laugh but seeing him run - Krusty Feb 22, 13:19 6
  - Good job British shows don't tie actors to shows for 5 years otherwise we would never have had B99. - LMS Feb 22, 13:32 5
    - I was surprised to learn he had to leave to do BK99. I figured with the shorter filming schedule for UK shows he could do both but I guess he - Krusty Feb 22, 13:49
    - Have you watched the Inbetweeners yet, Greg plays a teacher (bit of a stretch). -- nm - LMS Feb 22, 13:35 3
      - Ha! Not yet. I'm having a hard time picturing Joe Thomas as a hot head. I only know him from Taskmaster and panel shows and he seems so subdued and - Krusty Feb 22, 13:50 1
        
        He's more frustrated. -- nm - LMS Feb 22, 13:59
      - Towering in stature and in constant, staggering awe of ongoing daily idiocy? No, that sounds completely unlike any teacher I've ever heard of. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 13:40
- We liked the first season, started the second and *hated* it. -- nm - Andie Feb 22, 13:18 1
  - Theresa didn't enjoy season 2 much either. -- nm - Krusty Feb 22, 13:26
"[Someone you know] commented on this post" *click* "Ha ha! Buried in 405 comments, good luck finding it now!" -- nm - Adventures in FB Feb 22, 13:11 2
- God, right? nm - ralph wiggum Feb 22, 15:00 1
  - it's never so obvious that their business model is "hey, get mad at these random assholes" -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 15:15
Seattle Mariners CEO Kevin Mather has resigned. -- (link) - budice Feb 22, 13:10

Closing the ST tab is like going to the bathroom at your bar. -- nm - Spawn Feb 22, 13:01 6
- My favorite is when I click a link on here, decide it’s needs to be posted to ST, open a new tab and then realize where I got the link. -- nm - spamlet Feb 22, 13:04 2
  - I've done that many times. :-) -- nm - Krusty Feb 22, 13:52
  - I have definitely done that haha. -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 13:48

  - apparently when Spawn closes the ST tab he pees everywhere -- nm - decline Feb 22, 13:04 1
    - Perfectly normal reaction. -- nm - Fozzie Baron Feb 22, 14:02
