@jemelehill@Pdragoon247@zackpeter I truly don't understand how this talking point keeps getting brought up? California is also looking at an annual deficit between 12 to 35 million. How can you brag on the 5th largest economy when you're facing a horrendous deficit? After you came out of covid with 1 billion+
@fandompulse I think this gets blowback because it feels "forced." Also, Nolan is obviously aware of the dei requirements to be nominated. With Oppenheimer I didn't get the feeling that the casting was "forced." I don't remember people complaining about the casting (could be wrong about that)
@rocknriff88@mitchlafon@nightranger I love this band so much. But, this post is absolutely correct. On any given night they will play 3-4 cover songs. There is absolutely no need for this. Their catalog is incredibly deep. Just drop the covers and play some of the new stuff or deep stuff from their back catalog.
@space_ace84@DiscussingFilm Kudos to you Michael. Excellent responses with never going low. A rare thing these days. Also curious if Colbert ever offered to take a pay cut or restructure his deal? We (as a society) seem obsessed with determining "how much is too much" No one seems to be upset with his pay?
@mitchlafon This was perhaps the most shocking revelation of the Ticketmaster/LN lawsuit(s). I had no idea that they actually worked WITH resellers. They helped develop programming to ASSIST the resellers. This along with the TM/LN internal emails shows their total disregard for customers.
@cptdankkk@astrocryptoddy It comes down to choices. The amount of people who will complain about the cost of this or that is endless. Yet, those same people have blue checks on their X account. I'd like to pay for a blue check and I could afford it. But, do I NEED it? Of course not. It's just my choice.
@mitchlafon If you lived in the 80's (like this old guy did) you can be damn sure that Bruce Fairbairn was why 80's rock was so freaking great!! Most folks might not agree, but, Black N Blue's Without Love was one of his best albums. Although, JBJ might π RIP LEGEND & Thank you.
@CoralReeeefer@bobpockrass You are correct. When the NBA takes a night off in the middle of the playoffs because the NFL is doing a.......televised 2026 football schedule release. They are the King.
@CarsonHocevar@Chilis Carson, congratulations. I remember seeing you interviewed at the (first) Chicago Street Race (during a rain delay). That's the day I became a fan. Been rooting for you ever since. Much continued success to you. Keep it going!!
@PatrickWCutler What always astounded me about Kerr is, for all of his intelligence and interest about politics and social issues, he couldn't take a deep dive about the NBA and China. He just didn't have answers. Which is strange for a guy of his intellect.
@YitZionist@FedSocUCLA@DHSgov Just curious (as I was not there). Did any of protesters want to engage in a debate or question the DHS lawyer? This would seem a perfect opportunity to do so. A chance to have questions answered or even a "lawyer like" back and forth. It seems like a missed opportunity.
