@AntiWokeMemes Soylent Green is people!

@bwimberly21 @KSATMaryRom If the Knicks are WAAAYYY more disciplined, how did they find themselves with a tie score and without the ball with 7 seconds left?

Teams are fairly evenly matched, with the Knicks one or two baskets better on most nights.

[Bokoblin @BokoblinMask]

@9mmsmg Yeah, well that's nonsense.

Of course the knife matters. I attended high school for four years, had about 200 friends.

Not one, even one day, showed up with a knife.

There is no purpose for a knife at any high school event. You bring a knife if you've pre-meditated a crime.

@DorLinder Lost in this whole signature-check fiasco ...

Some random unknown person with no supervision can negate a ballot if the signature doesn't 'look right' (!)

Maybe doesn't match a signature from ten years ago (!)

Then a review, same issues?

This is Voter ID -- the bad version.

[Bokoblin @BokoblinMask]

@storyandplot I suspect the issue is cost, as it relates to exclusivity and thus quality.

Used to be, visual effects were so expensive, a high level of curation occurred. They had to be good.

Now anyone can do it. That leads to endless slop.

And just like that, the good old days are gone.

“Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl. An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl she used to be. But a great artist—a master—can look at an old woman, portray her exactly as she is…and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be…and more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo, or even you, see that this lovely young girl is still alive, not old and ugly at all, but simply prisoned inside her ruined body. He can make you feel the quiet, endless tragedy that there was never a girl born who ever grew older than eighteen in her heart…no matter what the merciless hours have done to her.
Look at her.”

@trigeminy_henry @CardPurchaser Well I'm nit-picking and the guy is probably a scammer, but there are plenty of Cam Schlittler RC sparkles in the world. He could have a dozen, is buying and selling more.

Unless a card is numbered, no way to tell if it's the same card.

[Bokoblin @BokoblinMask]

@TaraBull Funny thing about money vanishing -- it was never there to begin with.

Take 1000 Ohtani rookie cards. A collector buys 1 CARD for $10,000.

Suddenly there is 10 million dollars of 'market cap' in the market of Ohtani rookies.

That 10 million dollars only exists as a fantasy.

@TexTason @OleTimeHardball Yeah, people overlook Bonds won a gold glove.

[Bokoblin @BokoblinMask]

@DamonDawg Nope.

When you're obviously getting to the base first and the first basemen decides to come at you instead of sliding or tossing the ball to a covering pitcher ...

... you go full speed through the bag and prep for impact using your arms for defense as your heads slam together.

@JDSmith343 @nut_history Ah, but could you name 10 guys you'd rather have for the entirety of their careers?

Why skew the choice in favor of short term flameouts?

[Bokoblin @BokoblinMask]

@BullandBaird Me & Bobby McGee (Janice Joplin)

Dock of the Bay (Otis Redding)

What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong)

We've Only Just Begun (Carpenters)

Crocodile Rock (Elton John)

@RealEmirHan Nah.

Bond was always Bond and could have stayed Bond. It was always about swagger, and style, and presenting the fantasy of the ultra-capable male to both men and women. The occasional wink to the audience was a tiny portion of the formula.

[Bokoblin @BokoblinMask]

@VigilantFox Okay, it can't be just me, but why is the Governor of California interviewing a baby mama, and orgasming on camera at trivial insults to a political foe?

[Bokoblin @BokoblinMask]

@OleTimeHardball Tony Gwynn.

I want contact. I want to take away the strikeout.

[Bokoblin @BokoblinMask]

@SabuzView I just see a dude in a dress.

Maybe it's Halloween. Maybe he lost a bet. Maybe he's a dude who likes to wear dresses.

Without any additional information, no way to tell anything.

[Bokoblin @BokoblinMask]

@darrenrovell Yeah, a card like that should be worth the price of the grading, which might push it to $65 or so.

[Bokoblin @BokoblinMask]

@Uzonna7 I don't get it.

There weren't many options at the moment the threat got real. If I was the guy, I'd come back to the family and say, "What were you thinking, why didn't you get up and run? What are you glued to the freaking bench? Next time something like that happens, MOVE!"
