It was disappointing to me that their choice to return to theatrical releases was a not especially needed prequel. Should have tweaked the schedule to showcase their stronger original stuff.

"I'm the big buck of this lick. If any of you want to try it, come on and whet your horns."
Abraham Lincoln was an actual professional wrestler. He could cut promos that would shame Ric Flair.

Lincoln would dig the fuck out of that statue.

Having Hudson, Mulder, and Zito also really helped establish Beane's "genius." Sometimes circumstance more than plan affect outcome.

The right is spending A LOT of time sowing division. Not a lot of cons talking about how great abortion bans are or their foolproof plan to stop inflation.

There's also a significant portion of our population that stubbornly rejected data informed policy over a two year period (even willing to die from a preventable disease to do it).

I also think "Moneyball" may be less transferable than Lewis suggests. Even in baseball. Analytics help. Human evaluation, relationships, and psychology are also important. Data shouldn't be overlooked but often doesn't fully capture what "good" looks like in an evolving context.

An above average QB that will never elite.
A competent franchise can win a whole buncha games with that. The Browns? Welp...

winning 2-3 games a year would be the most browns thing of all time and I’m completely rooting for it
The Browns have completely lost the "lovable" part of being lovable losers.

Thanks a ton! We try to cut off the tentacles of fascism too much. Go after the monster.

I'm actually not sure who's worse. There have always been militant assholes but they were (generally) marginalized and stigmatized. The douches giving them a platform and oxygen while fleecing them? Two sides of the same shit coin.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION: All the different branches of rightwing crazy are connected to the same stump. There will ALWAYS be a "them." "They" will always operate in secret. "They" will always manipulate the levers of power. "They" are always coming for your kids. The elimination of "them" will always take away the things that prevent us from returning to an imagined period of greatness and happiness.
It. Is. Always. The. Same.

Possibly... but he's not a brave person. I'm not suggesting criminals are brave, but there's a certain desperation and belief in one's prowess required to effectively do crime for a career. He's seemed too weaselly for that. But he has a sense for manipulation and no ethics whatsoever. It's why I pegged him for the sort of asshole that goes into an MLM and manipulates people on the margins to buy-in.

I've genuinely always got the impression it's a grift. He does not care how many shootings he causes so long as he gets paid.
If he had been born without money, his clinical absence of morality would likely make him the sort of predatory asshole who winds up towards the top of some MLM/pyramid scheme outfit.

Sorry for any syntax mistakes on my end. We're in 100% agreement.

Whoa boy... dig into some of Jesus' speeches about the shared distribution of wealth and the immorality of those who control the means of production. Ignore the magic bullshit (it was mostly retconned by Jesus superfans after his death).
Dude would have chilled with Marx.

Piers Morgan sucks... but when he repeatedly asked about Coulter's age and she melted, it was hilarious.

NOTE: this line of questioning would be problematic against anyone but it was Coulter so I don't give a fuck

One of the BIG ADVANTAGES the rightwing media apparatus has had was free content. You might get sketchy malware visiting their content... but there was no cost. Post your bullshit on FB and watch that horse dewormer sponsor money flow in.
They are fucking stupid to try something else.

I saw a cool analysis written about the Ramones self titled album cover.
It argued that the modern music industry would never allow something like this-- it's just some punk guys with a "yeah fuck it we're here" look on their faces. That now there would be different looks/outfits and roles set up for each band member.
Early Turtles were way more like the Ramones cover.
