Aha! Just computing that the shitty showrunner of Fear The Walking Dead, Ian Goldberg, isn't taking over this show until Season 4. So I can watch Season 3 afterall! Now all the rave reviews are making sense.

I wonder what Lucho has done at Liverpool to be the subject of trade negotiations. It must surely be that Slot thinks that the left wing is Cody's to own and operate, right? Because Lucho seems to be hard-working and likeable, and although he has to be one of the most one-legged footballers I have ever watched, he is nevertheless effective. Why sell him for what seems like a relatively low fee? The numbers rumored for Nunez are higher than that for him, which seems odd given their relative levels of success in the past year. Or maybe it is just a sort of shell-shock for me as a fan. Losing Mane and Bobby Firm was sad, and then not playing Elliott and Nunez was disappointing, and now Jota's death. All of these were good guys, big personalities and quality players, and the impact of their exits seems larger than usual.

For a candidate who constantly talked about eliminating waste, the Trump administration sure farts away our tax dollars on frivolous nonsense at a terrific rate of speed.

I feel a lot of resentment for FEAST and DANCE. In my view, those were the books that killed ASOIAF and destroyed the chances of Martin finishing the books, and now 14 years later, it's pretty clear that the introduction of so many new characters and POVs made the conclusion impossible. The books are disorganized, have a weird pace, main characters like Arya, Bran and Sansa were sidelined to open space for Martells and Greyjoys, which I dislike profoundly. DANCE no even have a proper ending with many battles and character arcs left open. It's one of the most bizarre books I have read in my life. Tyrion chapters literally finish without an ending. I keep hoping WINDS will be much better and finally guide the story back to an ending sight, but again, after 14 years, I have lost much hope.

Let’s not even mention a 35% tariff on your 2nd biggest trading partner. And I’m happy to boycott Wisconsin as well!

OK, third date, Psychiatrist texted "I wanted to say that I do like you, but I don't think the chemistry is there. I wish it was because you are super nice and cool. But I wanted to tell you rather than just wait." Uuuuugh, I felt that it might be going that way. F M L. Ok, thank u, next. Opera Singer is coming to see me on Saturday at 7.

Golan-Globus?

Why? WHY??? I'd say straight to DVD, but we all stream now and the likes of Apple, Amazon, and Netflix can make genuine good looking movies. So who made this movie?

I like the ‘Please delete’ title better than the ‘Forest fires ruining summer’. Smoke in summer just means it’s smoke season, just like every other summer these days. cough cough

Hey now, two of the six MCs are from Wisconsin.

That Red Sonja trailer had me laughing out loud within twenty seconds. If they just kept that song playing on some sort of loop, I bet I'd have a blast for at least twenty or thirty minutes. The kind of flick my brother and I used to sneak in a 6'er to the dollar movie theater and go full MST3K throughout.

I started a new thread, which I liked so much I did it twice!

Ya, I’d be willing to change the title to something better, but, let’s be real guys. Forest fires in Canada are ruining summer for Americans! Not masked men snatching people off the streets, not tanks and police on horses and heavily armed soldiers in your parks and on your streets. I’m going to start posting Boycott Minnesota posts on faceless book. What a pack of stupid Republican wankers!

First time for everything - double thread!

My bestie informed me that there's a subReddit for Snyderbros (SnyderCut). Had a look this morning and hot damn it's *weird*, full of far too much rage and bile. Looking forward to seeing this tonight with a big crowd. Movie date nights for the win.

Meta’s back on the menu, boys!

Tbc I was joking/being sardonic and not in any way commenting on this woman’s ethnicity nor nationality. The implication of my ellipses was that, of course, this administration will find a way to deport you regardless.

Thanks, obviously I didn't read far down enough.

The BBC article goes into this, actually:

Good thing we dumped that digital services tax in good faith, eh?

As a Christian Armenian-Iranian, she almost surely would have a justifiable fear of persecution if she were to be deported back to Iran at this point in history. And I'm not sure the Trump administration would try to send a plane to Iran with deportees -- too dangerous for the crew. But I am sure there would be other countries that would take her. This reminds me that my mother's best friend when I was a child was a Christian Armenian-Iranian immigrant. She had met and married a German Swiss engineer who was working in Tehran and then he got a job in the United States working for the same company my father did. She was quite an interesting woman and certainly not stupid -- too bad this woman doesn't take after her.

^Clearly not a cult…^

Mine would be: "What name does Sam give Jon's son?"

Now Dumpy is threatening a 35% tariff on all Canadian goods as well. How would a 100% exit surcharge on oil go down?

Just because you’re too stupid for any country to want you…
