    I normally say it because it sounds funny, but this time I mean it for real. It's over.

    ah ok, gotcha. that "it." for a sec there I thought you meant the it referring to the destruction of the entire human race. glad we got that sorted.

    televised RICO trial

    fingers crossed this does not happen. the last thing anyone needs is him getting more TV time. him being on a televised trial will only gain him more supporters. you'd think it would work oppositely, but logical thinking is persona non grata in the T world. 

  3. I posted some similar pics awhile back, thought these qualified as interesting things...

    these are taken from inside of a rail car. reminded me of some weird visuals you'd probably see flashed up on screen at a squarepusher show or somthin. black substance lining the walls and pooled at the bottom is asphalt.

  4. poor Nikki Haley. she's toast - https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/25/haley-path-nomination-impossible-00143205

    she at least came off as sane, which is rare these days in the R party.

    now the in-house challengers are out of the way, the R's can all hail the orange clown. rally round the king of the con. the shredder of sanity. the reality star guru, who can barely answer a simple question. donnie boy just drifts merrily along, following the dao of some primal snake oil instinct. he accidentally became president. it was done half-jokingly. the result was he pulled off the biggest grift the world has ever seen. can he do it again? will grandpa Joe stroke out before November? will donnie be in jail? lmao! stay tuned!

    oh yeah. someone should probably change the thread title to 2024 US train wreck / dumpster fire / shit show / clown car / dude I'm so high right now / Jesus fucking christ / resurrection / erection / election

    that's him in america right? on that trip and somehow they talked him into stopping to take a tour and he was overwhelmed by how much americans had access to in the grocery store? 

    i think that's how that story went.. and his take away from it was that "we will lose" or something of that character

    that's when he came to Houston in 1989

    a lot longer than that really. strom thurmond for example. real piece of shit that guy. jessie helms too.. so many old af pieces of shit hung around way too long. 

     

    yeah. a lot of immorality in politics throughout the ages. but regarding the mental competency thing I was mentioning, the trump era really did open up the flood gates for legit crazy people to enter into politics. more or less legitimized elected officials getting away with acting like spoiled brat assholes. they used to at least try and hide it before. now they flaunt it, all to try and own the other side.

    I think if there was a way to weed the crazies out before they even have the chance to run for office, then this would make total sense. but this would also mean the politicians have to start policing themselves. and they know that if there were mental competency tests, or psychological assessments, so many of them would not pass. the age thing too. if 70 years old were the cut off, then bye bye to a lot of them. including Grandpa Joe. they all want to keep hanging on.

    I think living longer and the economics of it have an effect too. People not feeling like they can retire because they can’t afford it because they might outlive their money.  

    this is true. economics are a big part. the unofficial retirement age of 67 doesn't seem to apply as much anymore in the work force. there's also the fact that technological advancements in health care & medicine have kept boomers going mentally and physically more so than previous generations. a lot of folks in their 70's look and act a lot younger than their parents or grandparents generation.

    but politicians are public servants making decisions that can have massive impacts on the population. and for that I think it is wise to have them retire at a certain point, and not have 90 year olds serving as president or in Congress. I also think there should be mental competency tests implemented for politicians, just the same way they are given to a private sector executive level position. if a person wants to get a job as some executive at a company, they are put through some serious interviews and testing to make sure they aren't going to make stupid decisions that could have major financial impact. but politicians? as we've seen in the past 10-15 years, you can be completely and totally old or insane, and still become a congressman, or president! the founding fathers didn't game plan out that one day humans would all be addicted to internet devices in their hands, feeding their heads with social media bullshit. this IMO has led to the current low brow political shit show we are sadly all too familiar with.

    I've been looking for something that's free (or relatively cheap) to watch and found Americans on Channel 4 (My4) which is a couple of quid a month for advert free. So far only watched a few episodes. 

    The Americans is pure gold. one of those modern drama shows up there with the best of them, like Breaking Bad or Sopranos. hardly a drop in quality throughout the 6 seasons.

    biden's fucking great

    lol wut

    you probably know that the majority on here are going to vote for him this November, because we have no other fucking choice. the joking on here is not going to sway anyone into voting for the orange shit stain. same with Jon Stewart, or anyone else making fun of the obvious low hanging fruit - that Biden's a pretty old dude to be president. it is factual that once a human passes oh about 80 years old, they begin to decline mentally.

    it's not just Biden though, it's all the old fuckers in US politics. they are hanging on way too long. this is a legit issue. why can't they step down and pass the torch to the next generation, use their stature and experience as an opportunity to mentor the younger crop?

    Season 1 is pretty terrible. I also didn’t finish it and skipped to Season 2. It slowly gets better. Not sure I would recommend it because theres a lot of time involved before it really hits it stride. Which is season 4 into 5. So tricky for me to say. 

    ha I finally picked up watching Bosch again. I stopped after S1 because it sucked. I recently got through season 2, which I thought was great! I just started S3 and oh no, it seems to have retreated back into the shit quality of S1. I see you say it picks up again in S4. I hope I can make it through to that.

  12. they prefer smart, confident, witty, friendly, down-to-earth, genuinely positive gay men, over insecure, juvenile, smug, self-assured, slightly depressed straight men, who can't figure out a way to get their mental shit together.

    for the record i’m all for western journalists interviewing Putin, or any piece of shit world leader. i just want an actual legit journalist doing it, not Tucker Brock Asshatsupremicist Carlson who’s a racist, meritless scammer.

    yeah the irony of the whole thing is he claims that the liberal media are a bunch of evil propagandists, when that is in fact exactly what Tucker Carlson is. he is not a legit journalist at all. this whole exercise is a gazillion percent propaganda piece.

    and I read that western media journalists have all tried to get interviews with Vlad since 2022, and it's a consistent nyet from the Kremlin. but a pro-propagandist puppet like Tucker shows up, and it's no problem! this should tell everyone in the world something. Russian media is the equivalent of Tucker Carlson.

  14. it's just sad that so many red hatted people in this country will watch that, and totally buy into it. Russia good! Ukraine bad! and this will no doubt pressure the R's in congress to back away from any Ukraine aid packages, playing into exactly what vlad wants. why can't these R idiots see this! or they see it, and explain away their pro-Russia behavior because king donald says so

    weird, since him, Matthew Mcconaughey, & Woody Harrelson are all exec producers on the season i believe...you'd think they would've had some early notes of like 'hm, this script doesn't really seem like a good idea let's maybe suggest some changes' because like, that's one of the things producers can do, yeah? i think Jodie Foster is listed as an exec producer too, maybe her or jeeze, anyone really could've stepped in at SOME point in the process and noticed the dozens of red flags that were surely there during the scripting/development process.

    I haven't watched any of S4 yet (will wait to binge it), but I too thought it was bad form for him to sorta bash the show he was responsible for creating. I think Nic got dropped from input on TD more or less after S2 sucked, and probably is still butthurt about it.

    I think he is a bit of a one hit wonder, tbh. he had a peak creativity moment with coming up with the idea for S1, then slowly fizzled. I, like everyone, was a huge fan of S1. after watching that I read his short story collection and Galveston novel (the movie was totally botched), which were ok, not TD S1 amazing or anything. then he more or less had a misfire on S2. I thought that season started strong, but got too muddled/confusing after a few episodes in. the writing was all over the map. the one missing ingredient S2 lacked was Cary Joji Fukunaga, who directed all S1 episodes. apparently he and Pizzolatto didn't get along, so he left after S1. so I'd say he was probably a massive part of what made S1 so great, maybe more than Nic.

    S3 was really good, i don't think anyone around here talked much good about it but i thought it was strong as hell. as good as S1 imo. i never saw S2, heard almost nothing but bad about it.

    the official ranking is S1 > S3 > S2

  16. looks like we're soon going to be treated to a huge word salad of anti-Ukrainian propagandist bullshit from Vlad, thanks to America's #1 patriot Tucker handing a delusional murderous dictator a golden megaphone:

    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/06/world/europe/tucker-carlson-putin.html

    Quote

    In speaking with Mr. Carlson, Mr. Putin would likely be seeking to reinforce that point and seize an opportunity: a chance to reach a potentially sympathetic audience in the United States.

    Mr. Carlson, like the Republican presidential front-runner, Donald J. Trump, is skeptical of further American support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s invasion, and has embraced Mr. Putin’s efforts to position himself as a global standard-bearer for “traditional values,” like opposing L.G.B.T. rights.

  17. the good news is that pretty much all of these over priced, over hyped tech gadgets rolled out at a retail level usually fail. remember 3dTV's? Google Glasses? this Apple vision thing looks cut from the same cloth as products like that.

    the "primal fear" thing mentioned is an intrinsic safeguard mechanism the mind taps into, which helps the human experiencing it to steer clear of making a dumb decision...like buying a $3500 pair of ski goggles.

  18. in honor of the recent passing of legendary bad ass Mr. Carl Weathers, I decided to give this a whirl:

    classic grindhouse blaxploitation film shot in a totally gritty 1970's downtown Kansas City. Carl has a minor role. the plot makes little sense, but who cares. lots of ass kicking. Pam Grier is in sultry goddess mode. great funk/library funk soundtrack. it was awesome.
