  1. The Tik Tok model exists elsewhere. Doesn’t make elsewhere any less egregious. The PRC has weaponized Tik Tok and is using it to influence and to collect very very valuable data.
  2. Damn right
  3. I see my name mentioned…hope people weren’t making threats again.
  4. Not to be extra cynical about such things but we would get at least 1 3rd round comp pick for Glenn, would we get another for Staley? I had heard PODcast talking about this the other day while coworkers were telling me to evacuate the building because of a nerve gas attack (writer’s embellishment). So i don’t recall what they said on the POD.
  5. My overriding thought is that there are too many poorly sourced NFL reports provided by the entry-level enthusiasts who are to reporting what the Michigan Militia was to the Black Hawk Down era 75th Ranger Regiment or Spirit Airlines is to the Strategic Air Command during the time of Curtis Lemay.
  6. Is Oakland still in play?
  7. But that's ok, eggs were very, very expensive during the Biden ruinous tyranny.
  8. I mean the waitresses will be harassed but the cops' lives will be endangered.
  9. for example everything having to do with Rosetti.
  10. You feel bad for the cops who will be dealing with Trump fans again
  11. Looks like Jake Sullivan pulled off the ceasefire.
  12. I really enjoyed Boardwalk Empire in the moment but you are right...they did do some really weird stuff which I felt was just keep the audience guessing another 5 minutes like "24" used to do.
  13. FTR, i enjoyed all of “Lost” and only in my seasoned old age see the issues.
  14. "Severance" this weekend. I'm more worried about that sucking than I am about the Lions. Big fan but...man it might get turned into "Lost" with all its issues (too much shipping, soap opera-y, plot lines never resolved)
  15. they keep making All-in-the-family clones but putting Tim Allen in the lead.
  16. Pete Hegseth's bit about dust on his boots is interesting in light of Mattis, Esper, Miller and Austin his immediate predecessors back to Ashton Carton (who was a civilian through and through). I used to use the line "unless you've felt the weight of the rucksack on your back, you don't know" which is rhetoric used to win an argument in a college dorm but doesn't tell you anything about his knowledge of the PPBE, the JCIDS and Acquisition Process which was put in place over time to prevent the kind of graft that the Trump admin is planning. I learned about this during my first real job out of school while working in the Secretary of the Air Force's office for Acquisition and its bizonkers complex. I ran screaming in the other direction as soon as I could. My good friends who i work with in my softball league run joint programs with the US and UK to build nuclear submarines which has been built over several decades of careful diplomacy and stakeholder management, and another is a finance specialist with the Navy who works ship building programs and he's convinced that all the hullaballoo about delays in US shipbuilding are 100% the fault of the failure to budget consistently because of Congress playing games. Yeah, dust on your boots...good luck rummy. https://acqnotes.com/acqnote/acquisitions/ppbe-map
  17. I think she's possibly hoping for something that is a starting negotiation point. NATO will be rebranded as Maga American Trump Organization (at least on the whiteboard in the oval office) and Trump won't care so long as he gets his Diet Coke when he pushes the button.
  18. Mace is so messed up in the head. Rhetorically...I'll ask...what the hell happened to her? I know, I know...she's lost in the demonic pit of the anti-Christ that is the RW machine and sold her soul for 5 minutes of fame and whatever prescription drugs she's taking to bear up in all of this are not enough.
  19. I don't trust this Kevin Rothrock...he seems untrustworthy...but ‪Kevin Rothrock‬ ‪@kevinrothrock.me‬ · 33m RT editor-in-chief is under fire from some even more pro-invasion pundits for saying in an interview released yesterday that Russia could settle in Ukraine for the already occupied territory and nothing more (“not even Odesa!?”), plus a pledge not to expand NATO to Ukraine. youtu.be/WjywprIqqM8
  20. Just read this on multiple sources. So, what was interesting is that she came out and said Russia would be ok with status quo in Ukraine as the settlement lines. And that was a bit provocative. Tell me you are ready to stop the war without saying you are ready to stop the war. Ukraine just needs to hold on and survive. We can deal with Trump and his sell out in due course. Didus Richard ‪@bayohunter.bsky.social‬ FROM KYIV POST UKRAINE 🇺🇦 x.com/KyivPost/sta... Infamous Kremlin propagandist Tigran Keosayan, husband of Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Russian propaganda outlet RT, has reportedly fallen into a coma, possibly as a result of a Ukrainian intelligence operation.
  21. Isn't Verlander guaranteed some protections from trades because of his seniority. Now, Alex Cobb probably also would have that level of seniority too.
  22. Oh yes, but its a faded memory for me. I actually forgot it was Aussie. I remember during the turnover of shifts at Selfridge command post for the unit i supported, I would flick on "Neighbors" on Channel 9 and enjoy a young but adorable Kylie Minogue who was in the cast. Australia, you are a great ally with many adorable females.
