Max: My Adventures with Superman is an utterly charming little show. It's really well done. -- nm - Remlik Aug 20, 11:25
gotta admit the boring ass "sex" scenes were not the thing about Oppenheimer i thought would trigger the online discoursers -- (link*) - hollywood big shot Aug 20, 11:04 12
- They have sex missionary only. With the lights out. He's gay .She's never given a blow job -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 20, 11:27
- There is this developing disconnect younger people are having when it comes to sex. It’s all OF and thirst traps, but also, no sex in movies/TV. - Qale Aug 20, 11:26 4
  - Do you think it’s a “control” thing—a lot of anti-authority/the way they want to do things is always right thinking? -- nm - Flavorize Aug 20, 11:29 1
    - I earnestly don’t know. I want to blame the accessibility of extreme porn, but it’s been that way too long? -- nm - Qale Aug 20, 12:04
  - Yeah, the puriteens. But that woman looks 30s? It feels Christiany. I don't care enough about her to look up the theme of her TikToks though. -- nm* - Reagen Aug 20, 11:27 1
    - I’d say she’s mid-ish to late twenties as someone who IDs folks quite a bit for alcohol sales. But, essentially, yes. -- nm - Qale Aug 20, 11:29
- The one thing about the sex scenes that took forever. This was the third Florence Pugh project I've seen and the first I remember her in. - crash davis 😺 Aug 20, 11:23 1
  - She has a ton of screen presence—this is probably a lazy comparison, but Charlize-esque -- nm - Flavorize Aug 20, 11:26
- I'm not saying everyone has to like sex scenes, but they look like they can probably afford therapy. -- nm - Reagen Aug 20, 11:23
- That TikToker must have an exhausting life. Literally inserting drama into every minute of their life— -- nm - Flavorize Aug 20, 11:14
- WTF? Have a plan about getting triggered? How well would these people do living in Ukraine? "The Russians are triggering me" -- nm - crash davis 😺 Aug 20, 11:14
- Richard Tolman as the public cuck and Jean Titlock. Oppy always called him Richard and not Dr Tolman as a slight. -- nm* - budice Aug 20, 11:12
Cancel Shakespeare - crash davis 😺 Aug 20, 10:56 6
- Heh. "You're right, this work is too hot and cool for you." -- nm* - Reagen Aug 20, 11:22
- One review of La Cage Aux Folles at the Gem notes that drag or cross-dressing is a tradition going back to Shakespeare. -- nm - Meg Aug 20, 11:16 4
  - And I don't know why DeSantis and Florida are worried about sanitizing Shakespeare. Most high school kids get bored and quit before the juicy parts - crash davis 😺 Aug 20, 11:22 3
    - I jsut went to a production of R&J that was very upfront about how horny Romeo, Mercutio and Benvolio were. -- nm - Reagen Aug 20, 11:29 2
      - That could be good for some laughs. I can't believe some people who shy away from Shakespeare because it is "highbrow" - crash davis 😺 Aug 20, 11:34 1
        
        My high school english teacher basically called him the highest quality Cinemax script writer in history. - Will Hunting Aug 20, 11:37

Geez. I think Wrexham forgot they’re playing soccer. Four League Two games so far this season… - Mop🧹 Aug 20, 09:53 1

- Interesting choice to go with Bush instead of Reagan. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 20, 10:09
- Lincoln is such a weird fetish for the GOP. He would recognize today's GOP as akin to the Democrats of his time and oppose them. -- nm - TWuG Aug 20, 09:59 1
  - of course. In most respects the two parties switched places ~100 years ago, certainly by the 1930s -- nm - mud Aug 20, 10:00

'Smoking hot' J-Rod sets record with 17 hits in 4 games. Rodríguez's ridiculous run continues as Mariners secure tiebreaker against Astros - crash davis 😺 Aug 20, 09:30 4
- And the Angels were the buyers at the deadline -- nm - budice Aug 20, 09:38
- AL feels a bit more wide open than the NL, as far as playoff races go—Seattle a decent dark horse to do some damage—ALCS?! -- nm - Flavorize Aug 20, 09:37 1
  - I think the AL is wide open in two division. The third got cancelled due to lack of interest. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Aug 20, 10:10
- "Rodríguez's 17-for-22 streak surpassed the 16 hits by Milt Stock of the Brooklyn Robins in 1925." The who? -- nm - crash davis 😺 Aug 20, 09:31
Hmm. Considering cancelling sailing today due to smoke. - Beryllium Aug 20, 09:16 9

  - "some stupid with a flare gun" -- nm - mud Aug 20, 09:26
  - Also smoke. Not quite "deep orange" levels of smoke, but still not great. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 20, 09:21 3
    - PacNW weather forecasts should start including a hex color for the morning sky. - ReluctantCynic Aug 20, 09:37 2
      - Two hex colours. One for how the light falls on a piece of paper, one for the colour of the haze. - Beryllium Aug 20, 09:42
      - ask Sherwin Williams -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Aug 20, 09:42
Aaron Boone said he met with Hal Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman a couple of days ago. He said they discussed the direction of the organization. -- (link) - budice Aug 20, 09:12 4
- Two of those three should be fired at the end of the season and have no input on the direction of the team. -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 10:20
- Need another hitter—whole team can’t tank because Judge goes out—also, Judge can’t hit sub .220 at home, in a park tailor made for him -- nm - Flavorize Aug 20, 09:14 2
  - They need so much more from SP's, LF, 1b and 3b. The park isn't tailor made for him as he's a righty and it's built for lefties of which we had one. - Krusty Aug 20, 10:22 1
    - They shouldn’t be so reliant of judge to goose their offense. They underachieved—sign Ohtani and I think that solves a majority of it -- nm - Flavorize Aug 20, 11:20

Ukraine Will Get F-16 Fighter Jets From Denmark and Netherlands - crash davis 😺 Aug 20, 08:59 6

  - I didn't realize until that article that the Netherlands had 42 to give. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Aug 20, 09:32 4
    - You can thank the fish -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 20, 11:16
    - I bet they're buying new ones from us. -- nm - Remlik Aug 20, 09:34 2
      - Yup. This is possible because NATO countries are upgrading to F-22s. -- nm - Mop🧹 Aug 20, 09:44
      - that is probably right -- nm - crash davis 😺 Aug 20, 09:43
I found my replacement for Freshly: Clean Eatz - Dano Aug 20, 08:55 1

Heart of Stone spoiler question - Mop🧹 Aug 19, 23:31 2
- Mop—I’m disappointed in you—usually, when a movie is this BAD, you’re shooting down plot lines like Elijah Wood playing Duck Hunt - Flavorize Aug 20, 07:37 1
  - Not worth my effort. It was lame. -- nm - Mop🧹 Aug 20, 10:24
not that he would win Cali anyway but Newsom apparently ready to ask the legislature to remove shithead’s name from future ballots -- (link) - hollywood big shot Aug 19, 22:35 19
- Well, it’s more about the primary than the general. Pretty sure he could win the primary. -- nm - mara Aug 20, 10:35
- (added context) "Fox News has not reported this, and there is no reporting from any news outlet that Newsom made any such statement." -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 20, 01:44 1

  - As much as I think he deserves it and the law supports it, I think it’s a mistake.(absent a conviction for insurrection). - pmb Aug 20, 07:22 9
    - I don't even think it's supported (yet). We do live in a world of innocent till guilty. Absent him actually being convicted, I don't think it would - Will Hunting Aug 20, 08:20 7
      - Section 3 of the 14th Amendment doesn't require a criminal conviction (though he'll probably get one). you try to overthrow the duly elected gov't - hollywood big shot Aug 20, 08:24 6
        
        I read it. I'll stand by my comments. A not-yet guilty man getting booted from the ballot is a huge bridge to cross. - Will Hunting Aug 20, 08:27 5
        
        It is supported without a conviction (even the Federalist Society law professors have taken that position), but I agree. Practically it would be a - pmb Aug 20, 08:30 4
        
        We could start putinizing elections, he routinely gets opposition charged with corruption in some backwarer court to prevent their candidacy -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 20, 11:21
        
        But. I will add that I would assume it would take something equivalent to a trial in the state houses to conclude that he is guilty of insurrection - pmb Aug 20, 08:34 2
        
        What we need you to do is post how you are wrong and the steps you are doing to make it right -- nm - con_carne Aug 20, 09:18
