Re: Ball of Confusion
The discussion around this stuff makes my heart hurt. I have some friends commenting about their upset regarding the Israeli government’s response to the Hamas actions. I have other friends upset about rising anti-semitism. Others upset about US involvement and/or response. People make points but d...

Re: Random Politics
if the election was today, I definitely would not be voting for him. Yeah, let’s give Trump another shot. He’s harmless, right? Preface this by saying this is not directed at you SanCarlos ...

Re: Random Politics
You would, because you'd remember all the other reasons why he is millions times better than the alternative - including on Israel-Palestine. Yeah, imagine what would happen under Trump? There could be an US-funded genocide or something. There would be a far increased chance of an actual genocide, ...

Re: Random Politics
Kinda feels like Biden lost the race today and it's all fucking self-inflicted. 1. Dissent only led to disorder because the police stepped in. These were mostly peaceful protests. 2. Dissent and disorder is how we fucking became a country. It's easy for me to say since I live here, but if the elect...

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Mentioned it in the cantaloupe thread, but Resident Alien is so much fun. It can be cheesy but the writing is good with so many plot twists. And Sheriff Mike is such a good character. You do need a taste or at least a tolerance for goofiness. If you have that, Alan Tudyk is a worthy successor to Ro...

I figure to the extent Swift is being autobiographical at all, she’s talking about early years in the music business.

I'm sure there are some anti-semetic people at the rallies (and anywhere else people gather), but these protests are against the Israeli gov't, not jewish people. Otherwise, there are a whole lot of anti-semetic jewish people both there and living around me and in Isarel, etc, etc. Framing it as an...

But how do you all feel about the protests at the Ivy schools that seem to be undeterred despite antisemitic overtones and rallying in support of Hamas, not the Palestinian people? Those are despicable. The First Amendment still protects them, but anyone who says "go back to Poland" to pe...

Re: Getting the spins
The new Taylor Swift album seems fine so far, but I have to say, I prefer her older stuff, before she became less commercial. Yeah, it's pretty boring, tbh. It fit my vibe yesterday when I listened the first time. I wasn't listening with intent necessarily, but had it loud enough to hear while I wa...

Re: WNBA Draft
The Bulls' attendance went from a consistent 6000-7000 per game to 18,000 per game when they drafted Jordan. I would not be surprised to see a big jump for a few of the WNBA teams, at least for this year. To me, the big unknown is whether the increased interest will be sustained.

I'm curious how there are 2 lawyers who don't pay attention to politics or government. How can you be a lawyer and not pay attention to where the laws come from? I guess they're too busy working? Realistically, it probably depends a lot on what type of work the lawyer does. For me, it's rare that a...
