Re: Twitter:The New Batch
I figure to the extent Swift is being autobiographical at all, she’s talking about early years in the music business.

Re: Ball of Confusion
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.

Re: To the extent it comes up: Trump crap post-WH years
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...

Did the parties have access to the prospective jurors' social media identities? I seem to recall some stuff last week about tweets from certain jurors. If the prosecutors could review that juror's feed, they might have been comfortable enough that he or she wasn't completely insane, just the basic s...

Yeah so how did a juror get on there whose sole news source is owned by the defendant? Deal made between the legal teams? Prosecution could have been out of strikes (that isn't the word, so we'll never know on this board) The only thing that makes sense to me is that the next jurors on the list wer...

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Apparently the deposits were only a hundred bucks a seat. And they haven’t announced prices for the actual season tickets yet.
Utahns are desperate for national attention. This place went crazy when a Hard Rock Café opened. So I think this’ll be a huge deal for a while.

They needed for it be a western locale. Detroit or Columbus would have pitched a fit about the added travel of a shift back to the western conference.

My concern all along has been that SLC is just too small to support an NHL or MLB team. But apparently our population is really close to the population of Denver when the Rockies started and the Avalanche moved in.
