I like math. I like statistics. I like politics.

Posts are my own.
Holding on to that story until we try somewhere else and snafu it up.

The best thing about LoTR is its use of themes and the bit in Moria where Gandalf tells Frodo that he shouldn't be so quick to kill and he may have a part to play still is kind of the whole book.

Instead we're going to get some cynical Aragorn stuff instead I guess.

We've got two timelines in front of us: Dem wave, or every future Presidential candidate comes up with a new crazy idea for a new room in the White House. In before Klobuchar proposes the Presidential hockey rink.

Coup or Fox News Grandpa mad that "occupation over Zoom" didn't work?

Much like the weird hate for windmills in rural America, oil to them is a symbol that they're winning and even big oil knows the future is cheap solar batteries

I, uh, also think Facebook is doing some type of Facebook video shenanigans that are juicing Thread's numbers.

I think this string of perfect luck with the mad king is perfectly sustainable!

Lions last place in the division despite having the fourth highest point margin in the conference

American air superiority can only get you so far and just like in Vietnam eventually someone takes down a helicopter and the public starts asking how much these disasters cost

I think everyone agrees that Campbell can't call the plays next year.

I mean, teams can improve year to year, but it's NYG, ARI, and TEN. No free wins or anything but I would take that over the matchups the rest of the division has to face.

Lions with last place schedule + NFC North regression to mean has to look real good for the Lions next year.

Rushes to take out $100K on Kalshi that Maduro gets acquired because of paper work.

Making them run every two years and fly back and forth to D.C. doesn't exactly select for the "protect the institution by thinking long-term" types.

Trump: "Let's regime change for oil!"

Oil execs: "Yes, indeed, let's regime change for oil (domestic)"

Probably going to drop it for a few months and then all of a sudden we've captured someone from Cuba because it's Rubio's greatest dream.

I'm just a guy but "have the stink of Iraq 2.0 while you claim to take the oil while barking commands over zoom and calling it an occupation" seems like it probably won't work and this confidence they currently have will probably lead them to something very humiliating for the US.

They really want their own "Bin Laden photo op" and are post-hoc justifying it whichever way they can

Same people in 1858: "you say we're better than being enslavers, yet we've always enslaved people, how curious"
