Welcome to Thunderdome

I was discussing the economy with the Director of Finance this morning. His car needs service and he knows it's going to cost a ton. He was lamenting how things used to be built to last. We discussed our mutual belief that consumers do not wield the power they are supposed to in this Capitalist coun...

The Rockets have had good players. Also, the era of "Big schools are where the best go to play" is over. Every college game can now be seen somewhere. Coverage of every game exists, the portal is open, NIL money is flowing, and players want to start and get exposure. Plus, like the NFL dr...

Tell me again how we should listen to celebrities about politics. Biden supporters I know would NEVER say anything like this. Hell, most Biden votes are just anti-Trump votes. I really hope Mark is just trolling, but this isn't the first time he's showed political ignorance. https://x.com/MarkHamill...

I was kidding. Didn't think he'd really go that fast. Will be interesting to see how he does when he doesn't know what the defense is doing. What was shocking is that he was the 5th QB selected, and had Denver been above the Vikings, he would have been the 6th. Penix to the Falcons was the shock of...

You don't have to jump in and start throwing haymakers. Just help separate the parties like the two dudes who show up at the end do.

Blinken says China is already interfering in our upcoming elections.

Still not an act of war apparently.

I wonder how tight those purse strings will get if he loses the election.

If true, and comments linking articles/videos suggest it is, this is a dangerous new precedent for AI.

Hamas claims they would be willing to disarm if a Palestinian state is established. As the article points out, this is a complete reversal of their "wipe Israel off the map" stance. Perhaps Israel is winning more than we're hearing? It should also be noted that they said their troops and ...

Judge denies Trump new trial on Carroll verdict. Judge is a Clinton appointee, so I expect, if possible, it'll get appealed higher. All these Trump cases might be in the system forever. Most Americans don't think he's being treated like other defendants. Most think he's either being treated too har...

Pats and Vikings tried to call booger eater's bluff on McCarthy.

He went to the Vikings.

Wow. Penix at 8 is a reach.

Did I mention I was right next to the stage last week?

Good luck with Daniels. I think he's a good pick. He just has to stay healthy.

What's really embarrassing are all the "men" standing around on their cell phones calling for help.

I'm out. Moving my oldest home tomorrow AND have to head into work early Saturday to meet a vendor.

I think Obama was the first president to assassinate an american, on the record. That we know of...yes. While Trump sits in court, his lawyers at the Supreme Court seem to be setting up a legal backdrop for Biden to drone strike Trump as he walks out the courtroom. I think I would welcome the mass ...

Ha!

Correct!

Happy draft day!

Got to hand it to the NFL in making their draft an event that people look forward to and will get good ratings.

NY overturns Weinstein conviction. He's not free because he was still convicted for other counts, but this has caused both the Trump folks and Palestine folks to find common ground in questioning the timing considering Weinstein's support for Ds and Israel. :roll: Everyone deserves a legal and fair...
