@BudElliott3 Bud showing his Nole bias, Florida State way too high…

@jrdnmdhl @BretDevereaux @JosephZander That was a bit of my thinking as well—if you zoom out far enough you’ll always run into other strategically significant variables (the Battle of Britain seems like it’s entirely an aviation campaign until you consider that the navies are affecting everyone’s planning).

@Cover3Podcast Really liked @BudElliott3’s framing of the A&M job on today’s pod—we may not understand what makes it difficult for the stars to align for that program, but their experience suggests that success may not boil down simply to funding + booster motivation + access to talent.

@mattyglesias I think parsing out the distinctions in the movie between “fantasy political ideology” v. “tongue in cheek caricature” v. “earnest political statement” is purposefully difficult outside of a few obvious examples, and the movie is best enjoyed as a playful gesture at all 3.

@mattyglesias Thor: Love and Thunder was bad enough that someone took 3 phone calls behind me in the movie theater and I couldn’t ask them to stop because I would be tacitly defending the movie.

@mnolangray @HugoDanteJr I spent a good chunk of my adolescence hanging out at the Spotsylvania mall—not worth a trip (but consider stopping by Fredericksburg, especially if you’re a civil war fan).

Arrival: if the events of this movie actually happened, I would be less surprised by the aliens than the fact that the fate of the world rested on people who majored in linguistics.

@JUNlPER I think I’ve basically got it—Dick Masterson was an old school misogynist: https://t.co/BRuzhbdOFy. He’s pointing out these are mostly women. Chelsea Handler recently said in an interview that at one point she didn’t know the sun and moon were different things.

Burnt: at a time when cooking shows and Bradley Cooper seemed like absolutely surefire hits, they found a way to make both miss. Thanks for showing us the way.

@crampell Maybe we can cool this hot inflation with fresh student debt relief… or maybe we need to heat up this cold economy with a warm debt cancellation…

My Best Friend’s Wedding: Rupert Everett almost leads all of the other characters into a completely different movie every time he’s on screen, and I would like to watch that movie a lot more than this one.

Never Back Down: we knew not then what we know now—that emo music, seemingly at full crest, was actually at ebb tide, receding between our fingers but leaving this lasting monument to the way we lived.

@spargles I just kinda don’t see the moral distinction between a racially motivated genocide vs. a politically motivated extermination of ideological opponents. Both are so morally repugnant that it’s not worthwhile trying to parse out which is more blameworthy than the other.

The Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers - in a world full of faceless Uruk-Hai, be the mindless berserker sprinting with a torch to ignite the gunpowder hidden in a culvert in a strategically critical location, blowing open the battle for Helm’s Deep.

@DavidSacks TWTR stock is well off its TTM high so it’s not like this offer is mind blowing. The board can take defensive measures including soliciting another offer; auction could take mths and Elon might get frustrated and walk away. DOJ may start antitrust. None of these are corrupt.

@mindykaling I do drop weights for certain lifts; I’ve noticed that I tweak my shoulders a lot on shoulder dumbbell press during the motion of bringing the weights down at the end of the set. So I’ll drop them from a low height—I try to do it in a controlled way because I know it’s annoying!

The Big Short: I am now more concerned by people that watched the Big Short and believe they understand everything about finance than I am by the 2008 financial crisis.

The Big Chill: I wouldn’t know that baby boomers could be this insufferably introspective and narcissistic unless they left this video record of their worldview.

xXx: every year it gets harder and harder to explain why they created a movie named “XXX” with a main character named Xander Cage, but you have to believe it made complete sense at the time.

The Little Mermaid: I think the lesson here is that we should be content with the 20 thing-a-ma-bobs that we have, and not pine after a plane of existence that we can’t comprehend.
