Floods destroyed Australian lettuce fields, fast food joints have to use shredded cabbage in sandwiches and wraps -- (link) - zeitgeist Jun 7, 10:32 1

Golf: USOpen to allow Saudi LIV players to Compete -- (link) - budice Jun 7, 10:11 7
- It's going to be funny if the Saudi League fills up, so then all these people thinking they make big money, play in less tournaments. -- nm - MDH Jun 7, 10:25
- I did quick research based on the thread below and found decisions on these players had not been made by any of the 4 majors. Now we have one. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jun 7, 10:21 2
  - Yeah, they just let everyone know they disagree with the PGA's stance here, which neuters them. -- nm - David Jun 7, 10:25
  - thanks. I was wondering. -- nm - prayformojo Jun 7, 10:25
- You cowards. -- nm - David Jun 7, 10:13 1
  - 100% -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 10:21

As usual, GameStop is dumb. Don't give them your money. -- (link) - Qale As Folk Jun 7, 10:04 6
- This busted me up. - David Jun 7, 10:13 1
  - When they do that old-fashioned Gawker sass right, it lands so well. More often than not, they just sound like jerks these days. -- nm - Qale As Folk Jun 7, 10:33
- I can still but stuff at $5 Fridays though right? the MODOK figure I got is super sweet -- nm - Beaker Jun 7, 10:06 3
  - Come in on the right day, and it's 5 Finger Fridays. -- nm - Mop Jun 7, 10:16
  - I used to have them on my actual boycott list. Currently only Amazon is on there. -- nm - Qale As Folk Jun 7, 10:08 1
    - SHORT GAMESTOP!!!! -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 7, 10:10
XBox Deal FYI. -- (link) - David Jun 7, 10:03 4
- To highlight: VPN Required. -- nm - Qale As Folk Jun 7, 10:05 3
  - But using a VPN is really easy. So, it's a great deal. -- nm - David Jun 7, 10:30 2
    - Agreed. Just wanted to put the important part in bold. -- nm - Qale As Folk Jun 7, 10:34 1
      - You're right. I should have done that. -- nm - David Jun 7, 10:37
animals are just like us. wife recorded the momma groundhog just hootin'/chirpin' at the babies to try and make them listen - Beaker Jun 7, 09:58 1
- Of course kids don't get eaten by coyotes, er, as often -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 7, 10:10
I'm going to give Dark Winds a try this Sunday (AMC) if only cause the sheriff from Reservation Dogs is in it - Beaker Jun 7, 09:43 7
- Me too because I love that series of books by Tony Hillerman. - zunk takes things literally Jun 7, 10:26 2
  - Daughter has taken on the brand, does a decent job too continuing the series -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 7, 10:35
  - no idea was based on a book series. cool -- nm - Beaker Jun 7, 10:29

- That curveball is NASTY. -- nm - Shaun Jun 7, 09:42
ty97: UA908 has now changed to BOS-ORD. Departs in 1 hour 10 minutes. -- nm - oblique Jun 7, 09:37 6
- Yeah, it was a pre-planned diversion to Boston so had to be for either fuel or crew change - ty97 Jun 7, 09:42 5
  - Alex says they are refueling -- nm - oblique Jun 7, 09:48 3
    - Annoying that they had to stop for that -- nm - ty97 Jun 7, 09:49 2
      - stupid electric planes :) -- nm - oblique Jun 7, 09:50 1
        
        I'm sad that the local seaplane fleets haven't gone full electric yet (despite successful flights in the 2010s) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 09:51
  - maybe they ran out of soda and made a drinks and snacks reload -- nm - decline Jun 7, 09:45
New Brunswick rocked the top places to buy Real Estate in Canada rankings this year. Moncton #1, Saint John #7, Fredericton #8 - Beaker Jun 7, 09:36 12
- That's amazing considering they had to overcome the fact of being in New Brunswick. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 09:38 1
  - "top places" = "YO, it's cheap as hell here dawg!!" -- nm - Shaun Jun 7, 09:41
- ReMax's "Let's make the Maritimes less affordable, just like the rest of Canada!" campaign is a winner! - Mop Jun 7, 09:38 6
  - Saskatchewan has the new title -- (link) - Beaker Jun 7, 09:47
  - I've missed my opportunity to buy a super cheap vacation property. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 09:43 4
    - "cheap" only in comparison. Houses going for insane prices for here. cash offers, no inspections, you got a house someone got the money -- nm - Beaker Jun 7, 09:45 3
      - My SIL is trying to buy something. It's a nightmare. Houses that should be like $180k normally are selling for $300k+ -- nm - Shaun Jun 7, 09:52 1
        
        I .... But.... - Andie Jun 7, 10:43
      - No, when I started looking, it was at ones that were cheap even for the area. Bargain basement garbage. - Beryllium Jun 7, 09:48

geez, this new vid. That's A LOT of dangerous angry morons (and a big Confederate flag): -- (link) - mud Jun 7, 09:35
Eraser Reborn trailer -- (link) - Remlik Jun 7, 09:15 [youtube] 39
- The noisy approach is the wrong way to go. For an eraser they should do it heist style like Human Target / Leverage. - Max Jun 7, 09:36 14
  - Yep! Who should be the next Christopher Chance? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 09:37 13
    - Glen Powell -- nm - Max Jun 7, 09:40 1
      - Hmmmmmm. Yeah, that could work. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 09:42
    - (David's going "Don't say Cena! Don't say Cena!") -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 09:38 10
      - Why would literally anyone suggest him? -- nm - David Jun 7, 09:48 7
        
        Because he and mark valley sort of have similar faces -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 10:00 3
        
        It's time to get glasses, bery. -- nm - David Jun 7, 10:01 2
        
        They won't fit in the same suit but Bery's eyes are working better than yours - Max Jun 7, 11:33
        
        Well, he looks more like mark valley than I do. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 10:12
        
        he's a huge star with a string of successes behind him! -- nm - Beaker Jun 7, 09:54 2
        
        Even his agent couldn't say that with a straight face. -- nm - David Jun 7, 10:01 1
        
        Peacemaker is in the Streaming Top 100 of opening dance numbers for shows about DC superheroes! -- nm - Beaker Jun 7, 10:05
      - Or Cera! Don't say Michael Cera! -- nm - Max Jun 7, 09:39 1
        
        He can play Guerrero. - Beryllium Jun 7, 09:40
- Wow, direct-to-video (not streaming?). Do they still do that? -- nm - Mop Jun 7, 09:32 5
  - It's like HBO Max looked at the trailer and said "Nah, man, I'm good." -- nm - Mop Jun 7, 09:35 4
    - I like HBO Max. I think they have good stuff. -- nm - Diva Jun 7, 09:38 1
      - They have great stuff. Which is why Warner Bros. has a movie that even their streaming service wouldn't touch, so they had to send it DTV. -- nm - Mop Jun 7, 09:54
    - I've just come off a binge of 3 HBO Max miniseries, and even their worst moments are Emmy-worthy compared to this. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 09:36 1
      - David Zaslav just saw this trailer, after watching the Sandman trailer, and kicked several trashcans. -- nm - Mop Jun 7, 09:37
- I'd rather see Eraserhead: Reborn -- nm - Dano Jun 7, 09:21 1
  - !! -- nm - mud Jun 7, 09:23
- "this fall on CBS" -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 09:20
- Prey trailer = awesome! Bullet Train trailer = awesome......this is the opposite of those two -- nm - Beaker Jun 7, 09:17 5
  - who is the lead dude? cause a cardboard box has better acting range -- nm - Beaker Jun 7, 09:20 3
    - he's the dude from the Freeform show Shadowhunters -- nm - decline Jun 7, 09:41
    - He's Lutzian. -- nm* - Reagen Jun 7, 09:22 1
      - *goes down 30 Rock rabbit hole* I have no regrets! -- nm - Beaker Jun 7, 09:42
  - Ooooof. Yes, this is accurate. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 09:20
- Railguns? -- nm - Spawn Jun 7, 09:16 8
  - Right? Are they even trying? -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 09:21 7
    - Literally railguns and Arnold are the only things I remember from the movie. -- nm - Spawn Jun 7, 09:22 6
      - The below posts are causing bad flashbacks. -- nm - Spawn Jun 7, 09:30
      - "oh he said the movie title as the catchphrase *clapping*" -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 09:23 1
        
        "That's the title of the movie!" -- nm - Producer Guy si Jun 7, 09:24
      - I think there was a crocodile. Which is probably why this one has a hippo. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 09:23 2
        
        Seeing that terrible cgi croc in 96 years after the Jurassic Park dino cgi was a huge letdown. -- nm - Max Jun 7, 09:27 1
        
        The hippo was in this trailer for approximately 0.25 seconds, and it still managed to look worse than the croc. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 09:32
Wait, Danny Ainge works for the Utah Jazz now? - David Jun 7, 09:15 1
- ik, r? I saw that in an article and was "wait what?" -- nm - Beaker Jun 7, 09:21
Dustin Johnson has resigned from the PGA Tour. Will play LIV and Majors (assuming the allow it). Can’t play in Ryder or President's Cup. -- nm - MDH Jun 7, 09:13 11
- Gretz is like "you gotta sell out in endorsements, not rival leagues" -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 09:27
- Tiger will not play next week's US Open (sitwap). -- (edited) - Diva Jun 7, 09:19 4
  - I must have gotten this wrong - I thought that LIVers (I know that Tiger isn't one) would be barred from the Majors. Is that not right? - prayformojo Jun 7, 09:32
  - I honestly expect him to play the Open and ‘soft-retire’…like maybe Augusta only going forward. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 7, 09:23 2
    - I think majors and a handful of other favorites. Kind of like what he's doing now. -- nm - pmb Jun 7, 09:33
    - Goes home to continue his exoskeleton research. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 09:26
- I refuse to be a part of an organization that would have a moron like me as a member. -- nm - Dustin Johnson Jun 7, 09:18 1
  - heh -- nm - mud Jun 7, 09:26
- gotta earn that blood money -- nm - Beaker Jun 7, 09:18
- Majors are the next shoe to drop, right? - spamlet Jun 7, 09:16 1
  - Not controlled -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 7, 09:26
I saw the JW3 trailer on TG2 and realized why I don’t like the new cast. (Spoils) - Will Hunting Jun 7, 09:12 12
- That is an impressive amount of thought you put into it and it exceeds the total thought I have put in to the new series. - Spawn Jun 7, 09:25
- Sequels are a fever dream continually spiralling further and further away from the core ideals of the source story. - Beryllium Jun 7, 09:18 10
  - Meh…you can make a coherent movie series without dumbing it down a mile. John Wick and Bourne 1-3 for instance. - Will Hunting Jun 7, 09:25 1
    - 22 Jump Street -- nm - Beaker Jun 7, 09:39
  - JP/JW has a weird curve though: A+, A-, A-, A, C+ .. the new one: ? -- nm - mud Jun 7, 09:21 7
    - As much as I give these movies a long leash, even I can admit that JW2 sucked. -- nm - Shaun Jun 7, 09:38 1
      - some good scenes in the 1st half then holy fuck it loses its brains -- nm - mud Jun 7, 09:40
    - wait, A- for JP3? -- nm - Beaker Jun 7, 09:28 3
      - It's solid. A- for the second one is the crack induced take. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 10:38
      - I could be convinced to go higher. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 09:31
      - sure -- nm - mud Jun 7, 09:29
    - Hmm. Yeah, that's fair. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 09:22
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but Fox News won't be showing the Jan. 6 hearings. -- nm - pmb Jun 7, 09:12
Celebrimbor (you might call him the J. Robert Oppenheimer of Middle Earth): -- (link) - mud Jun 7, 09:04 7

  - OMG, Darren Boyd as John Cleese! I've never heard of this. -- nm - mud Jun 7, 09:46 1
    - It's worth a watch. -- nm - LMS Jun 7, 10:36
- Charlie Edwards owned and operated the theatre in my home town (not the same dude) -- nm - Beaker Jun 7, 09:33
- ohhh the Bright Lord -- nm - Jovian Jun 7, 09:15 2
  - is that a gaming thing? -- nm - mud Jun 7, 09:19 1
    - yep. -- nm - Jovian Jun 7, 09:32
According to the Radio Times magazine Alan Cummings owns a NY bar that does a Romy & Michelle party night every Saturday. -- nm - LMS Jun 7, 09:02 1
- that'd be fun -- nm - prayformojo Jun 7, 09:06
Slaughterhouse Five got banned at a school....the Kurt Vonnegut is giving away 1000 copies to students... -- (link) - Remlik Jun 7, 09:00 6
- Are sane parents planning on fighting back anytime soon? -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 09:09 3
  - With what? Guns? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 09:12

  - most are laying low for now (?) -- nm - mud Jun 7, 09:12

Predator is the John Wick series of sci-fi, of course I'll watch. -- nm - Max Jun 7, 08:58 8
- Keanu Reeves on Tik Tok is so anti Wick, it is amazing. - St. Epiphany Jun 7, 09:37 1
  - Yes, much more Ted than John. -- nm - Spawn Jun 7, 09:44
- "You are brilliant. John Wick vs Predator!" -- nm - Studio Exec Jun 7, 08:59 5
  - "People keep asking if I'm going to space. Yeah, I think I'm going to space!!" -- nm - Max Jun 7, 09:23 2
