  1. Honestly, I don't think she's smart enough to try and pretend to move to the middle. She also is still a big Trump supporter, she's just seeing some things that I think most of us assume others in the republican party see as well, she's just vocal about it, even if it doesn't align with what Trump wants out of her.
  2. One may argue that only cements the idea that she's an idiot. What sane person wants that job?!?!? I get the feeling she came into Congress thinking everyone (on one side of the aisle) was crooked with a bit of a naivety to her that allowed her to entertain conspiracy theories. Now that she's there, she's seeing it's more bickering then work and is realizing it's not a D or R thing. As she's not your normal politician, she's simply reporting back on what she sees. I still wouldn't want to put her in a position of power, but my guess is a good chunk of folks go into politics like her and are quickly dismayed. Unlike her, most shut their mouth and follow the party line regardless though.
  3. I agree with most, but mocking people doesn't generally turn people around, in fact it tends to harden some.
  4. In the long run, I think i'm rooting for Youtube. Essentially they want ABC and ESPN, but they don't want all the nonsense channels that Disney wants to force them to take as well. In short, they are trying to move back towards a traditional Cable style, where you can pick and choose packages, but also include other 3rd party apps into 1 'menu' via Youtube where you have everything in one interface.
  5. I'm not going to pretend I know the specific details of the hispanic/latino community in NYC, but as a whole, they tend to not like the words communist or socialist. Mamdani easily winning that group shows the populist message he's giving resonates with them. As for Spanberger not only winning, but by such a margin, just shows how racist our society is still. Oh wait, she's the white one? Sorry, still a rookie at these DNC talking points and got ahead of myself.
  6. You're just overreacting </WorldCom employee who went to work on a midnight shift the day the accounting scandal was reported and watched our stock shrink to nothing (first time I learned stock could still go up and down outside of Wall Street hours) while his boss huddled up with other mgmt in a conference room at 4am and came out with nothing more than 'folks, business as usual, you're all expected to be hear on your next scheduled day, and we'll be able to answer questions soon'.>
  7. The funny part is you thought there was a good Cuomo.
  8. Calling Mamdani as good for NYC is likely just as rich. He's basically hoping folks in NYC forgot about Bill DeBlasio. I'm not saying Mamdani isn't pointing out legitimate issues and issues that should be priority. I just don't have any confidence a democratic socialist will make the right decisions to correct those issues without exacerbating other issues, and not fixing the issues at hand. Cuomo would probably be a better mayor, but he doesn't represent change, which is what people want. He does represent the status quo, which isn't great either.
  9. We are banged up, but there isn't another team that isn't dealing with some injuries. Just a few weeks ago we were playing with the 'Legion of whom', while a few guys are questionable for this upcoming week, as of right now, we might have our entire starting defensive backfield in place for Washington. I would have preferred some additional depth at DE as I have no trust in Paschal or Davenport staying on the field (heck, just get on the field at this point). Obviously the Lions still like something about them though.
  10. My brother was just telling me about a use case he was walking through regarding a competitor (kind of, same business, but they don't operate in the same region). This company used AI to eliminate a ton of jobs in the end of Q2. They already have publicly acknowledged with Q3 results they expect to blow past their original budget numbers due to so many mistakes on the backend which are much more costly to correct now. Anyone that uses AI to save money right now probably shouldn't spend it quite yet.
  11. So the JD / Erika hug, is it just fun to troll, or do you think it was inappropriate? I really don't know if they had any close relationship prior to Kirk's death, but they certainly had met, probably many times. I just looked up the hug and it actually took me longer than expected to see it as I wanted to see it from start to end, many just clipped it from approach to embrace and cut off, or from embrace to walk off. I was expecting some super long hug, maybe a little groping, hip thrusts, passionate kissing, spanking, etc based on what i've heard about it. I just timed it, from the time JD is announced, walks out on stage, walks to meet Erika, they hug, and Erika walks off of the stage was 17 seconds. Actual physical contact was from the 8 second to 12 second mark of the video I saw, that's from her reaching out to touch him to her still keeping her hand on his shoulder as they separated and she began to walk off.
  12. I mean the Lions were able to get their QB and gain picks. That doesn't happen to often.
  13. You know what they say, vote for your interest.
  14. MTG was on Maher and honestly, it wasn't that bad. I'm not saying she's smarter than I thought, but I got the feeling that while she may have headed to congress based on some incorrect views, she really is trying to do a good job. (Not saying she's going about it correctly, just saying I got the vibe she wants to do good work, she not there just to grift/troll) The other guy on the panel, several times, seemed perplexed, not because what MTG said was so ridiculous, but because he was shocked what she said actually made sense. I will admit I was a bit perplexed too. We definitely don't need to worry about President MTG though, she is not smooth in front of a camera.
  15. Whoa now, I just reread everything I posted about Bari and some of the generalities discussed as a part of that and no where can I see where I said anything like this. All I'm trying to say, and it is only my opinion however I do feel many agree with me, is that a Journalist from 25 years ago had a very defined role, just as an editor, just as a columnist, etc. Because media has changed so much, and not for the better (IMO again), those roles are often blurred, sometimes even on purpose. For example, where a person will act as a journalist on a story and later act as a columnist to discuss their own story. As for the major MSM orgs, my guess is we would be pretty close on the ones we trust. As for CBS, I'll watch to see what comes of it, but I already have a distrust for any news organization that is owned by a larger media corporation. As for Weiss, I have no idea if she'll be good or not. She wouldn't have been my choice if I were Ellison, but I'd also like to think that if I was Ellison I wouldn't give a **** about what Trump thought of how I was running my company.
