@JustinHerzig no ranks. but have my solver bestball exposure board (to spread the bets) and wk 15/16/17 matchups (for bring-backs) on other tabs. consuming content and forming own opinions with that info i guess are my internal rankings.
@dylankendall wait till the world cup and olympics when LA metro goes under a microscope for the whole world to see. safety or at least the perception of it should be paramount for anything public.
when you look back from the future, hollywood's largest blunders will be
1. writer's strike that tanked production and killed off so many below the line jobs
2. opposing netflix taking over wb, letting it end up somewhere way way worse
this is like modern bureaucracy, tax laws, democracy, or any institution we have. keep amending with more and more stuff instead of a complete overhaul.
Zach Lowe shares a tanking solution idea that came up in the GMs meeting that intrigued a few General Managers:
A proposal to not get rid of the draft entirely, but get rid of the draft order. Every team gets 100 draft credits letβs say. You bid your draft credits on every individual slot in the draft. You can also trade your draft credits like a veteran player for 40 draft credits if you want to go in a rebuilding direction. As teams advance in the playoffs, they lose draft credits so the best teams would have less to bid on individual picks. So you can take all your credits and bid on the number 1 pick in the draft if you want. Or if you think next years draft is better, you roll your credits over.

@kylascan great read. younger gen in korea is resorting to exactly what you said, control over the one thing left they can control, their bodies. no sex, no babies, cause no money, but weights/running is their thing now. instant gratification sure, but at least they're more healthy.
@MattZeitlin much easier to get noticed when you're a writer/director. it's hard to debut solely as a director (unless you have a writer partnered with you). nolan, coogler, etc all came up as writer/director, so are sticking to it.
@Chris_arnade not that it's important, but in my neck of the woods it was always more coffee than tea (since the 90s). in the era you mentioned the preference did change from instant (da bang style, with sugar and non-dairy creamer) to espresso based, mostly americanos.
