as an example, the “jail” bit from Parks and Rec is the perfect amount of Fred Armisen. -- nm* - Tim Jul 18, 10:44 1
- Exactly. I was also thinking about Milepnos and "Me Scuzi". -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 10:45
My sister and SIL were interviewed about what it’s like being a family with two moms in Japan -- (link*) - znufrii Jul 18, 10:25 3

  - Talaq, but it seems this is usually just the right of the husband -- (link) - Max Jul 18, 10:19
  - Not kidding, it's how it actually works in Islamic law. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 10:16 1
    - Though it's only the husband who can initiate talaq, and it's Sunni only - it would not be permitted in Shia Islam. - Roger More Jul 18, 10:21
  - I was going to post this. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 18, 10:15

MAGA—ear bandages becoming more of a thing -- (pic) - Trending Jul 18, 09:00 [Attachment] 40

- [NB: the alleged shooting victim has yet to produce any substantiated medical records that he was in fact shot in the ear in question] -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 18, 09:12 28
  - It's semantics in my mind. Someone shot at him and he was injured as a result. -- (edited) - Dano Jul 18, 09:40 22
    - if the press won't even ask the question about a semantics issue, what else are they going to give him free passes on? -- (edited) - hollywood big shot Jul 18, 09:46 21
      - And let's be real - if this were Biden, with no report - media would be suggesting he fell and bumped his head or some shit. nm - Turd Ferguson Jul 18, 09:48 2
        
        this is 100% facts. They would not let it go until they get five doctors of their choosing to verify - Pippy Jul 18, 10:19
        
        it's really true -- nm - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Jul 18, 10:06
      - everything -- nm - Jovian Jul 18, 09:47 17
        
        I aint giving him a pass on anything. I'm merely trusting my own eyes and ears, nothing else. -- nm - mud Jul 18, 09:48 16
        
        you're not, but the press certainly is. to a fault. -- nm - Jovian Jul 18, 09:50 15
        
        at a certain point the mainstream press stopped paying attention to Roswell. That doesn't prove they're in the pocket of Big Alien. -- nm - mud Jul 18, 09:53 14
        
        Do the networks always normally air every night of the RNC during primetime? I dont remember that ever. But now? I cant find a channel not airing it. - Jovian Jul 18, 09:55 13
        
        They always have. In fact that used to cover both conventions during the entire prime time block, but eventually ratings killed that and limited it - pmb Jul 18, 10:05 1
        
        There was a convention 20 yrs ago or so where (Brian Williams?) basically threw his hands up at how pointless the coverage was and ended it early? - Max Jul 18, 10:14
        
        (Yes, this was always the case) -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:59 5
        
        ahh thanks. I wasnt sure. I just dont remember it. Maybe because its more polarized now then its ever been. -- nm - Jovian Jul 18, 10:00 4
        
        Yeah - wasn't it the DNC back in 2004 where Obama became the heir apparent? -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jul 18, 10:03 1
        
        Yes. He was the "someday, maybe" guy. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 10:05
        
        If anything, there has been less primetime coverage than in the past. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 10:03 1
        
        Yeah. Several cycles ago the networks cut it back to an hour per night. -- nm - Dano Jul 18, 10:05
        
        omg you've convinced me! Donnie always carries a little razor with him, ready to nick his ear at the opportune time! I give up. -- nm - mud Jul 18, 09:57 4
        
        um whut -- nm - Jovian Jul 18, 09:58 3
        
        I'm sorry I didn't realize your convention question was beginning a new thread, my bad -- nm - mud Jul 18, 10:21 2
        
        lol no worries, it just confused me! -- nm - Jovian Jul 18, 10:30 1
        
        The answer to your convention question is yes, the networks carry all of it and cable news picks it apart depending on their leanings. -- nm - Last Of My Kind Jul 18, 11:08
  - It’s not a material fact at this point. Raising it as a question will only lead to conspiratorial thinking and accusations of plagiarism from the Scandal writers’ room, imo. -- nm* - znufrii Jul 18, 09:32
  - I feel like we're the only ones here who care about this. nm - Turd Ferguson Jul 18, 09:20 3
    - maybe you two are the only ones here who failed grade 2 physics? -- nm - mud Jul 18, 09:28 2
      - Or - maybe we just don't want to take a pathological liar at his word for, literally, ANYthing. nm -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jul 18, 09:32 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 18, 09:40

Vineyard Wind Project Largest Offshore Wind Farm in US Shut Down Over Broken Blade Setback.... - Walt_Disney Jul 18, 08:52
old enough to remember when everyone told workers "those manufacturing jobs are gone and they're never coming back" -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 18, 08:42 4
- Map reminds me. A renter I recently had to evict (not the hoarder) is looking to rent a place in Alaska. I got a reference request from a landlord. - LFG Jul 18, 09:30
- In the 1990s, there were 17.5M manufacturing jobs in the US. It fell from 2000 to a low of about 12M, now it's around 13M. -- (edited) - Roger More Jul 18, 09:02 2
  - but i think what the IRA and CHIPS Act show is that Congress can incentivize the repatriation of at least some of those jobs when it wants to -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 18, 09:15 1
    - For strategic priority sectors, and at a cost to taxpayers and consumers. (Not saying that the cost isn't worth it, just that it exists) - Roger More Jul 18, 09:41
Conclave trailer (lovely colour scheme going on here) -- (link) - LMS Jul 18, 08:32 [youtube] 1
- I'd watch that. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 18, 08:43
this quote about The Bear makes me never want to check it out. I was on the fence but I see bites like this and Im like nah, theres enough misery: - Jovian Jul 18, 08:29 13
- It's a drama, so dumb that it's in the comedy category -- nm - Remlik Jul 18, 09:09 2
  - I don't care one way or another if it garners awards in any category. Its humour is sparse but it's my knida humour! -- nm - mud Jul 18, 09:36 1
    - the humour is there, but it is classic 'cut the tension in a drama' humour. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 09:42
- It’s really a show about mental health and personal growth—the amount of blood, sweat, and tears that go into achieving something great -- nm - Trending Jul 18, 09:01
- It's a show about a chef who took away affordable comfort food in a working class neighborhood and priced them out. -- nm - Max Jul 18, 08:59 2
  - Hey man, they still do the sandwiches on the side! -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:25
  - Gentrified Bear! -- nm - Inigo Jul 18, 09:01
- what bullshit. -- nm - mud Jul 18, 08:46
- I couldn't finish the first episode. Their description is accurate. On the contrary, I *loved* watching Ozark so I guess it depends. -- nm - oblique Jul 18, 08:35 2
  - ugh. if I knew the trajectory that Ozark would ultimately go, I would have bailed on that series in season one. -- nm - Jovian Jul 18, 08:38 1
    - (I loved it and ultimately ended up hating it) -- nm - Jovian Jul 18, 08:39
- it's intense. great, but intense. it is 100% a drama. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 08:31 1
  - 90% -- nm - mud Jul 18, 09:55

Working at WBD must be one of the worst jobs in the industry. Unless you're David Zaslav. More layoffs, gang! -- (link) - Mop🧹 Jul 18, 08:20
At some point in the upcoming del Toro Frankenstein movie, you will see an old family photo of the characters. - Andie Jul 18, 08:17 4

Quick! What's the first project you think of when I say "Dan Stevens"? -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 18, 08:11 34
- who? -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 18, 09:58
- Also, his hotness is very hairstyle dependent. -- nm - Dano Jul 18, 09:26
- Dude should be rolling as “Daniel” and not “Dan” -- nm - Trending Jul 18, 08:59
- Beauty and the Beast -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 18, 08:57 1
  - Yeah, Gaston would be my answer, though I like him in LOTS of stuff. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Jul 18, 09:44
- Nothing as I don't know who he is. -- nm - Krusty Jul 18, 08:45
- He was in a movie that made *1.2 Billion* and none of you have said it. The Lead even. -- nm* - Reagen Jul 18, 08:40 4
  - Just shows how little cultural impact that movie (and Disney remakes in general) have. -- nm - Roger More Jul 18, 09:43
  - I almost did but he wasn’t close to a selling point in my mind. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 08:55
  - Beauty and the Beast? - prayformojo 🐵 Jul 18, 08:41 1
    - yes! -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 08:42

    - I've only ever seen him in this and The Rental. nm -- nm - Dignan Jul 18, 08:29
- Legion -- nm - Jovian Jul 18, 08:22
- He's also in Godzilla x Kong. The guy gets around. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 18, 08:19 2
  - loved him in Eurovision: The Story of Fire Saga. He's always good. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 08:20
  - He’s so weird in that too—felt like 80s action hero type character —so over the top -- nm - Trending Jul 18, 08:20
- Just found it odd that the Deadline article on that new series mentioned Abigail & Downton Abbey - Mop🧹 Jul 18, 08:18 1
  - lol to your IM, it legit is. -- nm - Jovian Jul 18, 08:22
- still Downton Abbey -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 08:17
- Downton Abbey - sorry, Dan. -- nm - Roger More Jul 18, 08:17
- A different thought goes through my mind: Who? -- nm - JD Jul 18, 08:16
- Legion -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 08:16
- Legion. -- nm - sycor Jul 18, 08:15 5
  - of course. -- nm - mud Jul 18, 08:16 4
    - This. Only this. I'd have trouble thinking of anything else. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 18, 08:19 3
      - He was in Abilgail and the new Kong. I liked him in Abigail. -- nm - sycor Jul 18, 08:29 2
        
        Oh he was great in the slightly above average Abigail. - Jovian Jul 18, 08:34 1
        
        He is very underrated IMO -- nm - sycor Jul 18, 08:49

Speaking of the WNBA, they more than tripled their broadcast rights, and some of their executives are furious. - David Jul 18, 08:08 7
- yeah that decade long deal was super dumb -- nm - Remlik Jul 18, 09:10
- They signed a decade long deal? Yeah, that’s stupid. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 08:21 2
  - and Cam will be back next season -- nm - JD Jul 18, 08:26
  - They didn't learn from the NBA's experience with the Silna brothers. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 18, 08:26
- It's like how the current NFL package is eclipsed by the new NBA package. I can't imagine the $$$ that'll be exchanged when NFL rights are up. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 18, 08:10
- 11 years?! - hollywood big shot Jul 18, 08:10 1
  - Yup. Since the NBA controls 60% of the WNBA's vote, it became a package deal. - David Jul 18, 08:13
See? I'm willing to do the work. -- nm - LFG Jul 18, 08:07 1
- a real mensch, you are -- nm - yoda Jul 18, 08:17

keeping your best two 3-pt shooters out of the 3-pt shooting contest is a choice -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 18, 07:53 10
- By percentage, neither is top 20. 34% and 32%. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 08:03 8
  - well i doubt either of them will be blitzed by defenders in the contest -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 18, 08:09 2
    - Maybe but I’m pretty sure the others have earned it during game conditions. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 08:19 1
      - Sabrina was one shot away from beating Steph in the NBA contest. just dumb -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 18, 08:44
  - She broke WNBA records for assists in a game and total point involvement last night. - David Jul 18, 08:07 4
    - and that was without getting an assist on perhaps her most extraordinary pass of the night -- (link) - JD Jul 18, 08:40 2
      - how is that not an assist? -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 18, 09:07 1
        
        "A pass that leads to a shooting foul and scoring by free throws does not count as an assist" -- nm - JD Jul 18, 09:11
    - Her in-season growth is as much adaptation as growth. -- nm - LFG Jul 18, 08:08
