Oh I missed the blatant extortion A.H. threatened Haley with last night during his 'victory' speech in NH. - Jovian Jan 24, 08:59 10
- not sure how long she'll continue to stay in, and her speech was still some pretty weak tea, but Biden should probably fund it as long as he can - hollywood big shot Jan 24, 09:06 9
  - was very surprised she did not hang it up last night. It almost sounded like she was about to and then she switched gears. - Jovian Jan 24, 09:12 8
    - why should she? two contests where almost half the votes were Not Trump. her new line should be "I'm in it until all the jury verdicts are returned" -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 24, 09:15 7
      - I just thought she would because its quite clear that the Republican party is now the MAGA party, and all her political capital is going to - Jovian Jan 24, 09:23 4

T-Mobile has updated the data usage policy for its 5G Home Internet service. Going forward, new customers will be throttled after 1.2TB of data -- (edited) - decline Jan 24, 08:19 4
- Comcast had a 1TB monthly cap, and we blew past it quite a few times. Streaming (particularly 4k) kills it. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 24, 08:57
- will they actually throttle though? they've made threats before, but usually it's only aimed at a handful of people with that kind of usage. -- nm - colin Jan 24, 08:45

B2 - what's Gosling meant to say? He can't stay silent and IMO saying who should be dropped or withdrawing his nom would both have strong - Roger More Jan 24, 07:49 17
- Nothing. He can always just STFU. "Snubs" happen every year, and obviously they are in the eye of the beholder. - Marlowe Jan 24, 08:44 12
  - I disagree with this - STFUing is not an option, he has to actively support the people who led the project. -- nm - Roger More Jan 24, 09:01 7
    - totally agree -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Jan 24, 09:05
    - There is a very subtle difference between being disappointed and saying they should have been nominated. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 24, 09:05 5
      - If it was a critic or a commentator saying it, I'd agree with you. But this is someone who collaborated on a project with Gerwig and Robbie for a year - Roger More Jan 24, 09:16
      - he did use the "disappointed" language, though, didn't he? I think it's a fair statement -- nm - Andie Jan 24, 09:08 3
        
        And the he said "Their work should be recognized along with the other very deserving nominees.” (NM) - Marlowe Jan 24, 09:09 2
        
        that's a very clever wording though. "recognition" could be taken as him recognizing it through that statement, I don't believe he ever said "they - Andie Jan 24, 09:11 1
        
        The best he could have done would be stop short of the one sentence that is interpreted as calling it a snub. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 24, 09:19
  - he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. If he doesn't say anything he gets torn apart by the otehr side -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jan 24, 08:51 3
    - Sure. I'm damning him because he did. This whole thing is always annoying. There are 5 slots and most of the time, way more than 5 deserving people. - Marlowe Jan 24, 09:00 2
      - They nominated everyone *BUT* the two women most responsible for it. - Will Hunting Jan 24, 09:09 1
        
        IMO, the writing is more relevant to this film than direction is. - Marlowe Jan 24, 09:17
- His (or his publicist's) statement is fine. It just says that every nomination for the film is due to Margot and Greta. - Dano Jan 24, 07:55 2
  - That's not how I read this. - Marlowe Jan 24, 08:46 1
    - I didn't see the rest of it. Yes he's saying they were snubbed. -- nm - Dano Jan 24, 09:03

I just don't get why EVs have to be so aggressively EV-looking. why can't they look more like cars? -- (link) - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jan 24, 07:34 [Backboard] 4
- there are some aerodynamic differences that i think are always going to be inherent b/c of the range savings but car design generally is bad lately -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 24, 09:17
- Yup. -- nm - spamlet Jan 24, 08:19
- We're the Aeromaniacs. It's all about range to the max. Style is what we lack -- nm - JD Jan 24, 07:45
