"Your grandfather was a legend! You can literally be anything that you want! Like an influencer...or a....DJ" -- nm - prayformojo Jan 6, 17:58
heh. Rudy Gobert test positive (again!) -- (link) - prayformojo Jan 6, 17:53 3
- If he touched a bunch of microphones, it confirms that we’re in a time loop. -- nm - Tim Jan 6, 17:56 2
  - There is the theory of the Mobius. A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop. Where time becomes a loop. Where time becomes a loop. -- (link) - Qale Jan 6, 18:20 [youtube]
  - heh -- nm - prayformojo Jan 6, 17:58
Watching the Harry Potter reunion. Robbie Coltrane is suddenly elderly. -- nm - Ender Jan 6, 17:47 3
- Yeah—lots of him sitting. Rupert is a bit low energy, but the special is a great blast of nostalgia. Nice to see the different directors’personalities -- nm - Flavorize Jan 6, 18:11 1
  - Rupert realizing he's Weasley for the rest of his life. -- nm - budice Jan 6, 18:38
- Maybe they could do a variation of His Last Bow for Cracker... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 17:53
ST Prodigy was great tonight -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 17:03 5
- Spoils question - Beryllium Jan 6, 17:34 3
  - how they did it -- (link) - Remlik Jan 6, 18:42 1
    - Hah! Love it. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 19:45
  - yes -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 17:44
- Spoilers - Beryllium Jan 6, 17:08
STIS: Has anyone tried MasterClass? Have to admit the ads intrigue me. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 16:42 2
- I have it. I like it but the classes are truly pretty in depth not really casual viewing. So definitely good for learning as intended. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 19:07
- wow, I'm actually surprised. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 18:19
Welp. IDK about you all but I am fully in favor of replaying this Jan 6 footage ad infinitum every year like the 9/11 attack that it is. - con_carne Jan 6, 16:13 4
- It can be traced back to 9/11 as a precipitating factor. - Beryllium Jan 6, 16:18 3
  - Because they were being proved right? Sure, I suppose -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 18:50
  - Tulsa, KKK marches in DC (I wonder if there is any film footage of tulsa genocide?) -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 6, 16:50
  - I really hate to have to agree with this. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 16:45

- "This is a total fabrication! A lie! -- Oh, she brought the receipts? Yeah, those tests were garbage! We didn't want them!" -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 17:05
Samoa Joe released. Again. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 6, 15:38 28
- I figured that would happen but this seems deeper than Vince just cleaning out deadwood. He’s erasing his son in law. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 15:46 25
  - If this is some personal thing....isn't this a publicly traded company? -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 15:59 5
    - It is and they keep reporting massive profits so palace intrigue over a successor isn’t an issue. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:12 4
      - Ahh, listening to you all talk, it sounded like things weren't going well vs AEW, I guess I misread. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 16:17 3
        
        AEW didn't exist at this time in 2018. Its demo last night was 0.43. Raw's was 0.45. Raw has been on since 1997. - The Allfather Jan 6, 16:39 1
        
        1993! -- nm - Tim Jan 6, 16:41
        
        Oh, creatively and PR … WWE is getting destroyed. But they got so much money from tv, they literally can’t help but be profitable for now - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:27
  - I cannot believe I'm saying this, but there's a non-zero chance HHH gets fired, too. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 6, 15:50 18
    - No. that won't happen for a few reasons. But he will be shufled off to the side. He's family...but his NXT lost to AEW so he's done -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 16:35 10
      - Non-zero chance doesn't mean it's happening, just that's a possibility. - The Allfather Jan 6, 16:40 9
        
        only if it's Nick Khan's hand on the trigger. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 16:41 8
        
        Khan won the power struggle to replace Vince. It’s his hand (or Vince hates his son-in-law.) - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:48 6
        
        Vince is still majority shareholder. Yeah clearly something is going on. Maybe HHH heart attack was more serious than we though -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 17:54 5
        
        I know he is. But Khan is the heir apparent. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 17:57 4
        
        Since I found out Khan is Rock's childhood friend, I've become convinced there's a succession plan in place. - The Allfather Jan 6, 18:08 3
        
        Which fine but it’s a weird idea to be the 800lb gorilla in the space and basically infuriate your audience to save nickels in overall savings. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 18:19 2
        
        Also, it's morally repugnant. Let's not lose sight of that. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 6, 18:21 1
        
        Meh, they could have not hired them and overpaid in the first place…. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 18:33
        
        And it obviously is. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 6, 16:46
    - I think the only thing stopping it is he doesn't want HHH to show up on AEW. - the wrong element Jan 6, 16:07 6
      - I believe his recent medical issue means HHH will never wrestle again, but just a one-off showing up on Dynamite would be hilarious. -- nm - Tim Jan 6, 16:42 2
        
        Have him be the Bischoff to an NXT invasion - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:46 1
        
        he'd never do it. but man it'd be amazing -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 16:49
      - I was thinking…the only two notable AEW concerns are Punk (valid) and Cody who most people want to go away. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:11 2
        
        Actually, Cody is wildly popular behind the scenes. It's his character many fans dislike. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 6, 16:37 1
        
        yup. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 16:42
- Nooooooo. Thin Mint Joe still employed -- nm - budice Jan 6, 15:41 1
  - underrated comment. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 16:58
Wow, hadn’t heard this before. In 1991, Reba McEntire’s touring party lost 8 people in a plane crash. A backup singer died. That backup singer had - Will Hunting Jan 6, 15:37 5
- I didn't know the Faith Hill part. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 16:12 4
  - same. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 16:17
  - Yep, that was news to me. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:13 2
    - I guess when I first heard about it, Faith was still unknown probably. Still crazy. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 16:16 1
      - Yeah, she was trying to be a ‘20ft from glory’ singer. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:29
I think Fargo season one is my favorite season of tv ever. -- nm - Pocket Jones Jan 6, 15:21 13
- First thought that came to mind was My So-Called Life, which is definitely top 5 but may not be my #1 pick. - Max Jan 6, 15:53
- Justified season two for me. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 6, 15:35
- Definitely an awesome one. I still love Season 1 of The West Wing -- nm - Flavorize Jan 6, 15:30

  - JJ S1 is awesomesauce - Jovian Jan 6, 15:29 2
    - Agreed but Killgrave is a great name. -- nm - Spawn Jan 6, 15:31 1
      - (That noise you all just heard is Jessica rolling her eyes) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 15:45
- its spectacular tv. - Jovian Jan 6, 15:23 4
  - though the season of Justified with whats her name and the 'poison was on the glass' is tremendous stuff -- nm - Jovian Jan 6, 15:26 3
    - Spoils - Beryllium Jan 6, 16:01 1
      - Indeed -- nm - Pippy Jan 6, 18:16
    - s2 -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 15:33
- It's very good. I might pick S1 of Deadwood. -- nm - rollo Jan 6, 15:23

Fired Antonio Brown told OnlyFans model watch 'what I do tomorrow' - night before he stormed off field -- (link) - budice Jan 6, 14:35 9
- “Same model that went viral, licking a toilet seat in 2020 🚽 “ -- nm - Flavorize Jan 6, 15:29
- "NFL league office has declined comment when asked if they are looking into allegations that Antonio Brown smuggled a woman into the team hotel.": - budice Jan 6, 15:20
- And just like that, the latest grift collapses... -- nm - The Allfather Jan 6, 14:50 6
  - He meant he was going to score a lot! -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 16:55
  - It’s the Daily Mail though, so… -- nm - znufrii, exceeded expectations Jan 6, 15:00 3
    - I mean, it's texts. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 6, 15:06 2
      - I’m sure he’s the first athlete to tell a woman to watch what he’s going to do the next day. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 15:11 1
        
        Im gonna go now. -- nm - ABs Lawyers Jan 6, 15:18

  - oh heck no! they'd want their customer base to expand. Hell they'd fund the research for a cure to keep the customer base -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 14:54 2
    - they'd be pushing every tribble de-wormer, vitamin Z cure they could think of -- nm* - Beaker Jan 6, 14:56 1
      - Self-sealing mask bolts. Never worry about lip slip again! -- nm - Baron Enero Jan 6, 15:05

    - Agreed. The Ferengi would do whatever needed to maintain consumer confidence. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 6, 14:29 4

DTL: *changes 3-pt shooting from less to more after averaging 4 for 9 the last few games*. … *shoots 1 for 4*. That’s all?! 4? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 14:10 3
