I can only go by what I see on social media from other people’s threads. There is a contingent of trump supporters who think the GOP, even DeSantis, are globalists and they are not supporting them. These are the conspiracy theorists.

Trumps star has worn off. He won’t be the nominee. Networks will stop covering his speeches. He’s old news. His movement is still a thing but the impact is still up in the air. He drew non GOP voters into the fold. Not sure enough of them go back.

And it could have just been two dudes meeting up to hang out. I have 6 former bosses in my career and could easily meet them on Tuesday for a brunch. It wouldn’t be weird.

Wasn’t Hinch spotted having dinner with Correa during that off season ? I recall a bunch of speculation.

He fits right in

Isn’t that what a luxury tax does?

Clearance is granted just by appointment is it? Nobody but Biden can overrule like he did with his kids. Isn’t that correct?

I thought the Star is Born reboot with her and Cooper was great. I didn’t expect to like it but it sucked me in.

I’ve learned that the Stones to many are more important than the Beatles. The Beatles were so tight and proficient that to young kids it felt unattainable. Then the stones come along with their sloppiness and showed the kids you don’t have to be as good as the Beatles. That’s the sentiment I’ve heard Steven Van Zandt express.

I’ve always viewed them as someone who knows their place. They don’t take themselves too seriously. It’s all about fun. You do you. Contrast with someone like Whitesnake and David Coverdale who thinks he’s doing something important and credible. I never really cared for Pearl Jam.

Not doing something can be considered doing something. A contract not taken today opens the door for one to be taken later on. I’m not interested in a Fernando Vina situation where they sugarcoat things.

where do you get the idea MLB has a parity problem and the other leagues don’t? Since the year 2000, of 23 NBA titles 17 of them have gone to 4 franchises. They have a cap. We are told by owner apologists that mlb needs a cap. 15 difference MLB franchises have won a title in that same timeframe.

I know how it works. I’m just taking a shot at a group that loves to cry poor come cba time.

You would think these paragons of capitalism would institute that in their sports here rather than socialism where everybody makes a profit if they want and there’s no incentive to pull up by your bootstraps.

Yes. My friend follows the local scene and said he’s the best in the area.

Springsteen. I guess I get it because he's talented and puts on great shows I've heard but I just can't get into it. Maybe that's a different question from what you are asking. I don't like to say someone is good or bad because it's all subjective and there's no right or wrong in my opinion. Just personal taste. I gave his catalog an honest try during the pandemic and it didn't do anything for me. That said I thoroughly enjoyed his interview with Stern that you can watch on HBO Max.

You can see the tracks of the Rover they used

TSLA told him to shut the fuck up

Weiss was banned for a bit... she asked Musk for comment about the Doxxing bannings so he banned her.

I'm not keeping score. Just wondering why the right wingers are calling for congressional investigations and targeting advertisers who choose not to do business with a site that's sympathetic to nazis. They are the ones who seem to think it's a big deal. I've asked who was banned that has the right wingers upset and you answered "nobody" so that settles it as far as I am concerned. The whole 'both sides' argument is non existent.

the tweets that were "banned" referred to Hunter Biden's penis. Apples and some Oranges. Musk isn't committing any crimes and nobody has alleged that. It's an issue of consistency in how he chooses to run his business. He can do what he wants, that's his right. It's his. But people can call him a hypocrite, which is what they are doing. I've been asking all over... who was unjustly banned according to the right wingers? Last night Musk referred to Twitter as a publisher in his defense of banning links to other platforms. That's a big deal legally and I'm sure he'll back away from that.

I went to Hamtramck on Saturday night to see some local music. First time in a long time I've done that. Have a friend very much into the scene. Went to Planet Ant, in their ghost light room. Maybe 50 people. It was fun. I wish I could have stayed longer to hear Tony Muggs when his band got up there.

Their “problem” is that people here don’t understand how they work.

I always get an aisle seat and while I don’t stand up right away I will eventually and like to prop both arms up and block the path. Casually. Make sure everyone in my row on both sides get out like I am responsible for them. last summer when flying to fort myers there was an elderly Indian lady on our flight who spoke broken English. People adopted her as their mom or grandma and made sure she got what she needed. She was getting emotional as the guy in a cart led her away. I heard her say “everyone is being so nice to me”.

There should be a deplaning custom where the first 2 minutes are for who doesn’t need to go in an overhead bin. Just get up and walk out. 1/3 of the plane is now empty. Of course it would never work because there’s always someone who says “yeah but my stuff is right here… I’ll just quickly get it” or “I gotta get off now!” Nothing works when people have to cooperate. 5% of people make life miserable for 95%.
