- He's the drummer on approximately 68% of all songs in the last 5 years. -- nm* - Reagen Sep 3, 13:39 4
  - And the last time I saw his name in the news, he was being rushed to the E.R. -- nm - Mop Sep 3, 13:50 3
    - Blink 182 was on tour for over a year. He married a Kardashian and is all over the news. -- nm - jnine Sep 3, 13:55

      - Do I post celebrity news? I guess I posted that DiCaprio news. -- nm - Mop Sep 3, 13:54
You go, girl. -- nm - Spawn Sep 3, 13:24 1

  - Oh no. I saw her with him a few times. I can not imagine. -- nm - Spawn Sep 3, 13:52

Thousands Gather to Pay Respects to Gorbachev, but Putin Is Conspicuously Absent - crash davis Sep 3, 11:07 7
- No, or very few foreign dignitaries could be due to the sanctions -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 3, 14:48
- This seems like a miscalculation. It takes almost no effort to co-opt the legacy of a dead hero. -- nm* - Mop Sep 3, 11:17 5
  - Or Gorbachev isn’t viewed as a hero there. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 3, 11:44 1
    - This. Putin’s all about empire. He presided over the collapse, so Russian media sees him as vaguely embarrassing at best. -- nm - mafic Sep 3, 13:41
  - Rumor is he is either dealing with cancer OR he's incredibly paranoid right now. -- nm - Remlik Sep 3, 11:27
  - We don't know what the calculation was. Maybe he didn't want to be assassinated. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 11:21
  - Putin? Miscalculation? say it ain't so Mop -- nm - crash davis Sep 3, 11:19
If the Foo was young and paired with egg, would Dave Grohl still fight it? -- nm* - crash davis Sep 3, 11:02 1
- when I came home for lunch, they were making St. Paul sandwiches on PBS -- (link) - crash davis Sep 3, 11:21
Tangential to the below, I'm looking forward to going home tomorrow where we don’t have cable, so I don’t have to watch any more campaign ads -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 3, 10:37 10
- I think it was the HGTV app that is giving me a political ad for the GOP candidate for senator in Nevada. - Krusty Sep 3, 10:57
- No ads in the Hawkins concert. -- nm - Spawn Sep 3, 10:45
- We're getting wall-to-wall ads on Prop. 26 & 27, the competing online betting propositions. I'm ready to vote NO on both of them. - Meg Sep 3, 10:42 7
  - I'm betting no on both. I want to open up betting outside of the tribes so the State can make some real money. -- nm - jnine Sep 3, 12:57
  - my default position is the one that claims to be doing the most For The Poors/Kids is probably the worst one (fuck Yes on 27) -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 3, 11:30
  - The state will generate revenue from the online betting as it's taxed. NY made $70 million in the first 30 days of online betting being allowed. - Krusty Sep 3, 11:19 1
    - Not here. The Indian tribes are doing the online betting and they're sovereign. -- nm - jnine Sep 3, 12:56
  - It’s all Oz/Fetterman here. -- nm* - znufrii Sep 3, 10:46 1

        Omar Hakim -- nm - mud Sep 3, 12:19 1
        
        oh man that's right! that guy is amazing! -- nm - Remlik Sep 3, 12:21
      - Grohl's among the best, he studies all the others. He did an entire Killing Joke album. -- nm - mud Sep 3, 12:15 1
        
        yeah he did. It settled a Nirvana lawsuit! - Remlik Sep 3, 12:18

  - I don’t know what “humid” looks like, but it looks humid. -- nm - Mop Sep 3, 08:54 1
    - yeah it does. -- nm - Remlik Sep 3, 08:59
- If you’ve missed the start, you can just click the live stream and scrub back to the beginning. -- nm - Mop Sep 3, 08:41 1
  - And the Artemis launch got scrubbed again so you don’t have to split your attention! -- nm - Mop Sep 3, 08:43
I didn’t know this—CNN starting to lean into the Right more, to “earn back the trust” of Republicans -- (link) - Flavorize Sep 3, 07:45 32
- Republicans think fox News is too liberal -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 3, 10:58
- I'm happy with PBS Newshour and the sexy gray haired lady. -- nm - Max Sep 3, 09:45
- Yeah, it's more shameful fallout from the WBD nonsense. John Malone is calling the shots. Meanwhile, Licht left Colbert for this. - David Sep 3, 09:35
- They canceled Reliable Sources, one of their must successful weekend shows. It’s not an opinion show, it’s an analysis of accuracy in journalism. - Mop Sep 3, 08:45
- Yuuuup. -- nm - Dark Callisto Sep 3, 08:30
- Good. One of the big three should actually be balanced. -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 08:30 23
  - Yeah, no - TWuG Sep 3, 09:00 17
    - Yup and I'll just leave this here -- (link) - Jovian Sep 3, 09:39
    - Treating every single person on the other side like a radical is exactly how you get everybody on the other side being a radical. -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:17 14
      - Not really, no. -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 3, 10:07
      - Is that why every left wing person is a flaming radical communist? -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 09:31 12
        
        Did I say that? -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:37 11
        
        So does this only work in one direction then? -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 09:45 10
        
        Did I say that? You seem determined to catch me in some imagined hypocrisy... -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:51 9
        
        You're saying that treating a whole side as radicals turns that whole side into radicals. I present to you as rebuttal, the last 20+ years' treatment - Reagen Sep 3, 09:59 2
        
        Fwiw, I don't accuse you of hypocrisy. I think you are largely principled -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 10:05 1
        
        Same here. It's important that we say these things, too. -- nm - David Sep 3, 10:06
        
        "A news network should be balanced and unbiased" shouldn't be a controversial opinion... -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:52 5
        
        The problem is that fair and unbiased does not jive with "balanced" any more. One party (with the exception of a few individuals that you can count - pmb Sep 3, 11:55
        
        Except that there is bias in treating sides as equivalent when the sides are not at all equivalent. - TWuG Sep 3, 10:06
        
        Balance and unbiased opinion, as with everything, is in the eye of the beholder. -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 10:02 1
        
        I would very much like the GOP to be a partner in good faith in governance. But the entire party votes in lockstep - TWuG Sep 3, 10:12
        
        It's not. The debate lies in whether moving away from objective truths to cater to potential viewers is balanced and unbiased. - David Sep 3, 10:01
    - They should just change their name to FEFN - znufrii Sep 3, 09:04
  - Yeah. I would mostly disagree with them but I feel like at least the Kinzingers of the Republican Party could provide reasonable and civil debate. -- nm - Dano Sep 3, 08:39 4
    - I was happy to see CNN hired Jonah Goldberg. -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 08:45 3
      - Author of the book "Liberal Fascism"? -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 09:36 2
        
        Is that all you know about him? -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:42 1
        
        I'm aware he's against Trump. But it's a bit rich that he's the reasonable one now. -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 09:45
- Huh. Noticed their rightwing commentators trickling back. Wasn't sure if they started inviting them again or they were finally accepting a standing - VMan Sep 3, 08:12
- Yeah. -- nm - znufrii Sep 3, 08:01
- "We need people who will turn us on and watch all day and help bring in that filthy, filthy ad money! Principles be damned!" -- nm - TWuG Sep 3, 07:47
Good morning. Spelling Bee. -- (pic) - prayformojo Sep 3, 06:51 [Attachment] 4

- UNPRIMING - when you have too many streaming services -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 06:53 1
  - NM -- nm* - Mop Sep 3, 08:49
Artemis still leaky. Unless the can correct it, no launch today. -- (link) - TWuG Sep 3, 06:43 6
- Rollback and reschedule into October a distinct possibility -- (link) - TWuG Sep 3, 09:50
- C’mon, NASA… -- (pic) - Mop Sep 3, 08:50 [Attachment] 1
  - I've always wondered how commerical products like that would hold up to extreme applications. In this case, cryogenic conditions -- nm - JD Sep 3, 08:56
- NASA just made the announcement. Engineers couldn't fix the liquid hydrogen leak. Third attempt: Monday, Sept. 5 -- nm - budice Sep 3, 08:21
- Well... being goddess of children, childbirth, etc. She probably never stops lactating. -- nm - VMan Sep 3, 06:49 1
  - Thanks, I hate it. -- nm - Qale Sep 3, 09:29
