The 98th Academy Awards are tomorrow, so it's a good time for another Oscars mega-thread. As of right now, I've seen 27 nominated movies including all 10 Best Pictures and 5 short films. These are my preferences. Movies & art by their nature have a certain degree of subjectivity.
@janecoaston@bomani_jones Webanyama averaged just 29.2 minutes per game in the regular season but 39.2 in the Finals. It seems he was playing way more than he's used to doing.
The greed and corruption of the Trump presidency and Trump family is worse than all previous U.S. administrations combined. The fact that millions of Americans are tolerating this, or even celebrating it, underlines just how far we’ve fallen.
BRENNAN: But there is a crisis with those weapons stockpiles right now
HEGSETH: No there is not. That is a manufactured story that the media wants to peddle
BRENNAN: You have testified to it in front of Congress
HEGSETH: You don't have to read back to me what I testified
@MnChiguy69@4Gerhard@BuzzPatterson@micyoung75 You're really crashing out severely over the expectation that people ought to support their claims. I guess making a coherent, rational argument is beyond your capabilities. Bye, troll!
@MnChiguy69@4Gerhard@BuzzPatterson@micyoung75 It's amazing that you pretend not to understand basic principles of argumentation & head off on some strange non-sequitur. Or maybe you just never learned critical thinking. Either way, don't waste people's time.
@MnChiguy69@4Gerhard@BuzzPatterson@micyoung75 Buzz made an affirmative claim that the picture is in a "more prominent" location. It's Buzz's duty to back up his claim with facts. It's a bad faith argument to say we must assume Buzz's claim is true & demand that other people prove a negative.
@NONbiasedly@FreddyLA7@maritza82283179@JJWatt Dude, "fun" is when people don't try to inject politics into a fun thread in an attempt to attack a judge & bootstrap their unpopular politician they like to a fun road trip story. Leave these threads for people who want to enjoy Freddy's story.
@NONbiasedly@FreddyLA7@maritza82283179@JJWatt Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy Freddy's trip without using it in a cynical, nonsensical political argument? Don't ruin the fun with your politics.
Israel is destroying every single home in the southern 40 miles of Lebanon.
This is not “targeting Hezbollah strongholds.”
These are Christian villages and Sunni villages and Shia villages where people have lived for centuries.
