The Swamp

It actually stood for International Secret Intelligence Service.

I read initially that as Thinh Dogg and imagined the late Nate Dogg’s more slender younger brother.

“So I guess I’m supposed to know everything now?” said the cowboy on his second rodeo.

Did the Dubs have Belichick in as a consultant?

L-Jam3

So just so I can get a clarification on Question 4...

L-Jam3

Fuck yeah. Miller’s Crossing is up next. It’s on Paramount+, if Sir Patrick Stewart chucking Arnold got you buy in.

L-Jam3

Damn. That's circa 1980 cruiserweight. Great job!

Johnnie upthread raised a good point. From my experience, my son who's in 7th grade is in all the advanced middle school levels (brag). His history for this year is half a year on Ancient Greece, and half a year on Ancient Rome. And while that's a fun period of history, that better be the only time ...

L-Jam3

I just listened to it right here. Right now.

L-Jam3

I don’t know about the rest of you. I was in advanced-level classes all through high school, have plenty of higher education, and consider myself an avid reader of articles and magazines if not books. Yet I never even heard of the Tulsa Massacre until maybe 7 or 8 years ago, a couple years before it...

Really great movie. Glad I caught it again after all these years. Couple points: 1. Nicolas Cage gets ragged on, but he is a damn good actor, albeit a little over the top at times. For a screwball comedy like this he’s perfect. 2. Holly Hunter. She looks great in this. I’m trying to think of where s...

I just learned about Fred Hampton for the first time. Fucking America, man.

My dad had a fall in the shower Saturday so he’s been in the hospital for observation since then. He’s getting released today, so that’s good news. But seeing all the doctors coming in and seeing him, and they’re all younger than me. That’s jarring.

L-Jam3

Blake Snell won the Cy Young last year, right? Is there any reason he isn't signed yet?

L-Jam3

Yeah, I'm doing the rental option. Money well spent.

L-Jam3

I don't know if I'll be able to start this at 9:30. I'm over my parents' for some things, and I'm nor sure I can stream here. Still looking forward to rewatching this.

Trump launches gold high top sneaker line a day after $350m court ruling $400 a pair. https://toronto.citynews.ca/wp-content/blogs.dir/sites/10/2024/02/20240217170248-65d13867954882723e04db5bjpeg.jpg And he got boo'ed off the stage when introducing them. How many times do you think you could wear t...

They’re from Jersey.

Not that this matters, but he just got a verdict against him in his New York state civil trial only a million less than the combined 2024 payroll of both LA baseball teams.

No. Fuck you. Archangel was Death in Apocalypse’s Four Horseman. He was the one who gave him his metal wings. It’s not my fault you didn’t specify which Four Horseman of Apocalypse you were referring to.

This shit cracks me up.

Fucking Tom Kite.

I think I said Denmark FWIW.

Would it be “better” if rich people gave their money to food banks or wind farms or something like that? Depending on where you place your values, than sure, maybe. But people spending their own money, fairly-gotten or ill-gotten, to the benefit of others is a good. And one maxim I live by is don’t ...

L-Jam3

Counterpoint: if there was damage to a global cultural treasure such as the Great Wall or Angkor Wat or the Great Pyramid or the Sydney Opera House due to a disaster, rich people spending their money to repair it IS doing something that matters.

L-Jam3

I just sent.

Pretty good news if you’re a fan of Catholic cathedrals, Gothic architecture, France, or even just impressive cultural stuff: https://www.instagram.com/p/C3TvkWexdSz/?igsh=MWsxeHIzd2Y1MzVmcA== Very cool detail: the Gallic rooster is a symbol of France (think the bald eagle for us), and when the buil...

Without using MAGA-brain logic, what difference does this make negatively for a criminal defendant? Like normally, let’s say the DA isn’t banging anyone, she’d appoint the best prosecutor, right? But if she just appointed the guy she’s raw-dogging, he would by logic NOT be the best prosecutor in the...

If you have to get 86’ed that’s the best way to do it.

I sometimes worry that the fact that Dems have lines they won’t cross as a disadvantage in the fight. But then I remember that so many in the GOP are fucking idiots, so that tends to balance it out.

L-Jam3

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. You telling me that the GOP investigation into Hunter Biden wasn’t on the up-and-up?

L-Jam3

Dave Stieb was really under-appreciated.

L-Jam3

Wasn't the ultimate result of the Muller report was that Putin tried to bribe Trump, but TFG was too fucking stupid to understand the deal?

L-Jam3

Yes, but what about his +/-?

Those videos on Instagram where they put two or more blotches of paint and then mix them together in high-speed with a painting knife to make a new color. I can watch that shit for 30 minutes easy, completely sober. I now understand the appeal of AMSR.

So next on the list is Raising Arizona. It'll be a good refresher for me. It's been decades since I saw it, so I'm looking forward to it.

Does anyone know how to have a Google meeting last more than an hour? If people are good, I'll learn to host it.

I watched Monday night, and I was a little busy earlier this week, so here are my thoughts on Blood Simple: 1. Frances McDormand. Man. She could act from Day One. 2. I like that Dan Hedeya has been the same face for the last forty years, simply aging. I like to think he had that look at birth. 3. Th...

I’m not pro fat-shaming, but that’s a great fuck you photo of Santos.

There better be bacon-wrapped scallops as apps, even it's just the two of you.

Congrats!

I remember Marion was a top two or three overall in Yahoo fantasy's pre-season rankings for a few years in a row in the 7 Seconds or Less era.
