I think you have to be 5 pints in for it to be a fun video.
Saw a clip from the Guinness people about the smallest dog in the world meeting the tallest dog in the world and to be honest both dogs kind of let me down

This is a clinically shit list. Incredibly short of Eddie Murphy movies. Trading Places is my favorite comedy. Unlisted. Also Bowfinger & Beverly Hills Cop. Ghostbusters, The Muppet Movie not listed.
I know this is supposed to create buzz, but are you supposed to hate it?

The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

Everything else was horrible. Terrible. Bad stories. Retread stories. Bad acting. Awful directing.
SW was my 1st movie. I saw ESB a week after it was released. Andor was amazing, but I was 6 when I saw ESB.

You'd think he would have gone with 48 Hours. Nick Nolte's character is a racist who uses the N-word a half-dozen times and Eddie Murphy's character has to go back to prison at the end. Plus, it seems unlikely he has seen a movie since 1982.

Bezos revelations in the files in 3, 2, 1...
The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

Tyler O'Neill was a great signing.
Mike Elias says the risk of trading Grayson Rodriguez was worth the reward of outfield stability.
Taylor Ward “really fit us, and there weren’t a lot of big power right-handed guys on the market this year.”

My contracts professor told us that if we didn't know the answer to a client's question, be honest and say you need to do some research.
What’s the most significant advice you received from a teacher?
I had a Geology prof who always said “have strong opinions, loosely held”
Be passionate, assess alternatives with conviction, take sides. But don’t fall so in love with your opinions that you can’t change them with better data.
