You probably know more about it than me. It just seems obvious that Zelenskyy has staked his political, historical, character as the reclaimer of Ukraine. That just has certain attachments implied - namely, ejecting the Russians. And I just don't know how you do that...

Westeros.org: Civil War But seriously, like guys... we're basically at war (again). Is this not some bizarre shit? I feel like it's barely even news. Has the American public become so divested of interest and agency that a new West Asia conflict gets the political equivalent of a shrug and a handwave? What a marvelous and wicked people we are!

Maybe, but it seems to me that they're gonna need that 400,000 either way.

Snap guess: Zelensky wants another offensive. The General knows better.

What's your take on that last one, Kal? I feel like it's some surreal illustrative on the fragmentation of our society. We're practically at war and, like... nobody seems to care?

I just didn't think it was very funny or creative

Fuck YEAH! MVP! MVP! MVP!

Look, it's not that I didn't get you the 'saurus kid...

Went with my little sister and my dad to see the Jurassic World Adventure live show. It was... Pretty Good. Definitely something to take kids to. It was a seven hour drive to get here and will probably be even longer drive to get back, but it was worth it to see my sister's smile when the big animatronic T-Rex came out. Good day. A T-shirt and two dino plushies cost damn near $150. But it was her day and she got what she wanted. Sometimes life is good. Peace and love, y'all.

Well, a man grows...

It's a different sport than 2000. Brady is and always will be the Goat because he played in a league that didn't bend over backwards to fluff quarterback performances.

That all sounds like a nightmare. It may not mean much, but I think it speaks well of you to still try and help him. Not everybody gets up when someone else is down and in need of aid. Good on you.

That's horrible, Ty. Do you have any idea what caused the discoloration? Does he have any known conditions that are making him fall?

I think it was the secretary of state who said that Hamas probably doesn't want to release the remaining women because they've been raped and tortured, that the ceasefire may have fallen apart for that reason. An assumption, but an educated one after reading and listening to those who have been freed so far.

More than acceptance, it demands capitulation. What happened to you tuesday stands out as a prime example: It was not enough for you to have said nothing wrong. Then, explaining you certainly meant no wrong merely added to the conflagration and admonishions that perhaps you should not speak so freely or so often. The pure sense of righteousness involved makes one want to gag.

I have some uncanny and accursed timing. Brought up the AP livestream thirty seconds before the orange bastard stepped up to speak.

Scott, you didn't say a damn thing wrong. Stop backpedaling, man.

You're right. I was sniggering too hard to type it properly

Chris Collinsworth: ... and now you got a 300 pound star going down on a quarterback! [That is all]

So I was like 12 when the Depp one came out, and I actually enjoyed it because I could do a really good Depp Wonka impression that slayed in middle school. At least Depp was being weird and memorable, even if the movie was crap. I like to be entertained in the theater. Wonka was just baaaaaad. The first song was ok. Not good, it was ok. And that's the last good thing I have to say about the film. It looked and sounded like it was generated by AI. Absolutely hideous CGI visual noise, none of the wit or charm of the original; to the point that I wondered if the ChatGPT program that wrote the thing had even studied Wilder's movie. I think I saw the love of acting leave Chalemet's eyes as the movie progressed. There were blatant continuity errors that I noticed and by the end it seemed like I could see the director just off screen shrieking "wrap this shit up!"

Took my mom and niece to see Wonka- What a piece of chocolate shit. My god, it might've been one of the worst movies I've ever seen... and I've seen Batman v Superman! It was terrible. Just terrible. Mom and niece seemed to like it though, so

Jesus, Ty. Is he okay? Lacerations? What made him fall into the table? Also, congrats Spocky. That's some cool shit you got going on. Live the high life baby.

Not a prank, but perhaps an overindulgence in defensive aggression. And I'll admit to using rhetoric I wouldn't normally deploy out of a desire to function as -from my perspective- a necessary antagonist to the one-sided perspective of Israel that we've had in these threads. But as a very wise lurker may or may not have informed me, it's possible that I've let my passions get the better of me.

Whoa!

Well I didn't think it was pragmatism vs naivete until just now - I mean, did you really think anything else was possible? Serious question, before I return serve on the rest of your post. What did you think was gonna happen? Because my heart broke on the 7th. For Palestinians and Israelis both. I knew what was going to happen and I spent like five days trying to wrap my heart back together. I couldn't bear to watch the news any more than to see if there was any update on the hostages. I view this all as a horrid inevitability, and have since the first bomb dropped. I'm salted to it now because I didn't expect anything else. (Palestinians in Israel are Israeli, as far as I understand. Citizens of Israel.) Yes! Yes! More! Gimme more, baby! This is the best shit I read in a year. I've never denied being a Red in Blue clothing. It's in my name. But I chose Blue. I didn't get raised into my beliefs in some idyllic chateau or braindead peer pressure incubator. I paid a lot to be a Democrat, and I don't think I'll join the Reds anytime soon at all thank you very much. Man, I like you. Eta: I wrote "title" when I meant "name".
