Ha, let no one say that Film Twitter(?) is always aligned on current movies.

IMO Spencer is excellent and Stewart is outstanding in it.

The "analytics are ruining sports" crowd have some legit points (too many 3s gets boring) but ignore the analytics push that's the most fun: going for it on 4th down. Coaches do it more often now, but still not enough. And obviously it makes games better: 4th downs >>> more fun to watch than punts!

Right, not sure why anyone's blaming Chuck for any of this.

Is there someone else they could have successfully recruited who would clearly be doing better?

He had one of my favorite underquoted line readings when Rick tells him to escort the sadly intoxicated Yvonne back home.

Take her home, Sasha.
Yes, boss.
And COME RIGHT BACK!
(suddenly crestfallen) Yes, boss.

May have eventually gotten to the first ongoing podcast episode-by-episode performance of Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf.

But the Rogan of the left would promote Democrats, unlike Piker. He's the Rogan of anti-American dictators and their allied terrorist groups.

@mollyknight.bsky.social Podcast episode here is an hour+ convo with Walker Buehler's mom! I haven't listened but this podcast is always good. It's Kentucky-based, Buehler went to the same HS as me (though I graduated in, uh, the year he was born):

Not sure there's ever been an equivalent in human history of being able to establish kinship based largely/entirely on "wait, you're also into the 'she X on my Y until I Z' joke/meme format?!"

A brain-damaged oaf who does softball promotional interviews with Dems would be a Rogan of the left, but Piker only qualifies on the first point.

British footy terms also have a reverse situation of our football with "deep." A "deep-lying" midfielder for them is playing farther away from the goal, basically the exact opposite of "going deep" for our football.

What Tucker Carlson--and some others who clearly don't actually care about dead Gazans--have hit on is that attacking Israel now has an anti-establishment angle, which particularly appeals to younger voters these days, including GOPers. Bibi has made his govt 100% part of the GOP establishment.

While I'm certainly glad that @sarahspain.com didn't have to deal with border patrol coming back from the Olympics, there could've been some great content from a customs interview. "Is it true that you repeatedly described the VP as *checks notes* 'Teddy Fuxpin' in your widely-distributed podcast?"

@sarahspain.com The kids are alright!

WTF. This guy needs to do some serious work on himself.

In QT's bonus interview on the DVD/bluray, he explains that while he never wants anyone to improvise their dialogue in his movies, Chris Tucker cracked him up so much by inventing "you catch a ni#@a OFF GUARD with this shit" that he kept it in.

Along those same lines, the logic is probably that Rs do NOT want to run on stuff that divides them--inflation, unemployment, failed war, yes/no on "is Trump fucking everything up?" But GOPers WOULD want to run on something that unites them--yes/no on "should Trump be removed from office?"

Another way of looking at is that under Trump, Bibi has achieved his full integration into the GOP establishment as basically the GOP senator from/governor of Israel. Or perhaps more accurately, Bibi as Israeli PM deals with Trump in the same way that Mike Johnson does as House Speaker.

Basically, yes. Bibi tries to maximize his freedom for internal political maneuvering (the only kind he cares about) by going directly to Trump, often successfully. But when Trump says no, Bibi folds, largely b/c Trump is far more popular across the entire Israeli political spectrum than Bibi.

The fundamental structure of the Bibi-Trump relationship is very straightforward to understand!

Looks like Iranian leaders prefer to try with Vance because Witkoff/Kushner were too stupid and/or dishonest to report the Iranian negotiating positions accurately before the war started.

Trump is too clueless and distracted to outright tell Bibi "stop" in Lebanon, but when Trump does give that order, it'll happen.

Kentucky also has a Versailles that's pronounced the same way. An effective local test of where I grew up (Lexington) is how to pronounce part of the name of a major road going out of town: Athens.

(rhymes with "Nathan's")

Bibi's political survival depends entirely on Trump, and both he and Trump know that.

Everyone's entitled to their feelings, but in our current information reality, whatever anyone says publicly about politics *is* the message they're helping to spread. The choice between "Republicans suck!" and "Democrats suck because they're not saying Republicans suck!" should be an easy one.

Try sharing the posts of the ones who are doing exactly that instead of inaccurately complaining that none of them are:

Right, from the perspective of "it's all a joke, he just wants attention" there was still a possibility of "don't poke the bear" being the correct approach of dealing with him. But it's far more likely that the GOP could've stopped him in 2015 if they'd all treated him the way Obama did in 2011.

I'm not sure how it became conventional wisdom that Obama roasted him *into* running. Trump spent months teasing a 2012 run before dropping out just a few weeks *after* getting mocked at the WHCD, a pretty clear indication that Obama roasted him *out of* running that year.

The "open the fuckin strait" sentence strikes me as a lot more coherently right-wing-choad style than anything else he usually farts out.
