Most accurate part of Succession is the innate disgust the family has for Tom Wambsgans and his Midwest gentry servility, also fueled by their secret acknowledgement that he wants it more and the future belongs to him
Really love when Sacha Baron Cohen mocks Alabamians and other southerners. The joke, I think, is that they are polite and welcoming and he makes them look stupid and bigoted. Genius!
@reduzivert9 I live in Portland and it’s the exact same story. Floated the clackamas river with some friends in the city, absolutely stunning day. City has its problems but every American city is going to shit…at least Portland has incredible outdoors
@RealJohnDutton@realpeteyb123 I love how we can pretend Israel does not want to destabilize the entire Middle East. Iran knows Israel is never going to pull back and has no choice but to keep control of the Strait. How can anyone blame them at this point?
@_Matt_Bowers_ Imagine living in 2026 thinking Israel wants anything but a completely destabilized Middle East that they control. They’ve already got legacy media laying the foundation for bombing turkey down the road…there is nothing to “sign” lol
There was an interview with Sam Bankman Fried a few years ago where he bragged he only wore 3 t-shirts. That he didn't care about clothes. But he owned beautiful mansions all over the world and lavish apartments in New York and Paris.
So he walks around badly dressed on purpose making the public commons ugly for all of us, while owning beautiful homes he can enjoy in private.
It's this attitude that creates the modern ugly world. Make the public areas ugly. While enjoying beauty in private.
That's a new thing. Thankfully, we have beautiful cities from a long time ago that never adhered to that philosophy. We have wonderful paintings of people dressed spectacularly. Who cared about the aesthetic commons.
@bonchieredstate Amazing how a German guy’s review of one of the bottom tier SEC stadiums (loud, but shithole) disproves real and valid concerns about the country’s decline. Everyone should recant previous frustrations
@MarcAg_ It’s incredible because LSU has received an insane amount of public scrutiny for hiring Lane Kiffin and Will Wade because of timing and public perception. If Michigan or Texas hired the two it would he a display of might and brand power.
@_Matt_Bowers_ Also, what a horrific example of a university above scrutiny. LSU has been raked through the coals for hiring Kiffin over timing and Will Wade because NC State is an elite program in an alternate universe.
@BoxOfficeVols Almost 100% of the fan base has never heard of the kid. Best of luck to him but a handful of X trolls is a hilarious over generalization of a fan base lol amazing that has to be explained
@toga_party_@On3@WRAL What is the “proper” way to reach out to a coach and his agent? Lol I guess we can all live in an alternate reality where agents aren’t constantly putting feelers out for their clients
They used Covid to nuke small businesses, opened up commercial real estate and then brought in 20 million people in 4 years while giving them federally backed loans Americans didn't qualify for to buy up those businesses and any available housing.
You should be furious about this.
