Great, I can look forward to rats crawling over me as I suffocate to death under rubble.

That's because Danny Glover getting too old for this %&#* is always entertaining.

Funny Stuff: Joke-Wing vs Meme Fighter
Hmm, strange criteria to judge a film on. Are there a lot of Titanic fanfics? I'm not going to bet against James Cameron at this point. The movies will probably be huge hits.

The All Things Political Topic - A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/rays-nick-anderson-explains-differing-beliefs-teammates-pride-night-logo This is an entirely not surprising story, but one that still depresses me. You can dress it up as nicely as you want, but stances like these ignore the reality of the world. Gay people are discriminated against. Wearing the patch is a stance against discrimination. Refusing to wear the patch is such a strange stance to take for me. I mean, best case scenario is you are just indifferent about discrimination. Are they going to refuse to use pink bats as well?

What are you Playing Now? I name all the operations that go down in Taipei.
I've started in on Black Geyser and it is pretty enjoyable. Seems like a solid BG type clone. I'm not too far into the story, but so far it is engaging.

I don't understand the negativity towards Resident Evil in this thread.

warhammer 40k: rogue trader
I can agree on everything but the writing. Obsidian is way ahead of Owlcat in writing and character development, and that is kind of important in an RPG.

I guess the idea is he is a grumpy retired Jedi and we are supposed to watch him run around and say he is getting too old for this %&*#. Unfortunately Ewan McGregor doesn't look old enough to be Danny Glover.

I assume Malcador would be played by Moss from the IT crowd. I would probably get the 3rd Baldwin brother. Not quite the worst, but a few notches down the ladder. 😉

More Hardwood + Round Holes = Lots of Scoring in Basketball 2K19
Best offense against the best defense? Seems like a good matchup to me. That video says the Warriors always have an easy path to the finals. That is ridiculous. Memphis was a very deep team that had their number since last season. Even before Ja went down, they had taken a 3-1 series lead. Maybe they are just a better team? They also beat the Rockets and Thunder when they were the big dogs, and that was all before KD. Haters gonna hate.

The All Things Political Topic - Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.
I know I've said it before, but we need an entire culture shift around guns. They don't need to outlaw them to make that happen, although reasonable restrictions and limitations would help. The NRA should be leading the way towards responsible gun ownership, but instead they are hyperfocused on the politics of victimhood. Guns should be treated like dangerous tools. Instead they are glorified and worshiped. For my next TED talk, I will be discussing how our obsession with cars is dumb too.

I mean, Tupac is still releasing music post-life, so why can't actors keep busy after death? 😉

That account makes a little more sense, but it still seems like an awful amount of time passed between when he shot his grandmother and when police forced their way into the classroom.

Hey, the Alan Tudyk HK Droid was pretty fun! I'm excited for Willow, but I hope it is the proper amount of cheese. Kevin Pollack better be back as a brownie.

I guess Katie Holmes was not in Mission Impossible. I was confused by the actress Michelle Monaghan. I am still confused, honestly.

I had to look it up, but Simon Pegg joined the series with MI3, so I guess he is the key to them getting back on track. Which one did he shoot awkwardly with Katie Holmes? It does seem like the later films kept things lighter than the first 2. I remember the first somewhat well, but the rest are mostly a blur. I also thought Cruise was going to be replaced by Hawkeye at some point. Ah well, I enjoy that 60-year old actors can still be action stars, it gives me some hope as I age.

They've been slowly fencing off all of the schools on the Bay Area over the last 22 years. It makes it look a bit like a prison, but I get it. This year they put a bunch of big cast iron fences up at my wife's school that separate the sports fields from the school buildings, but they didn't make them push gates, so they basically trapped the students on campus. It was left to the PE teachers to point out the stupidity, and now they have to redo all of them.

Also it's a bit bewildering to see the same people that have been crying about teachers brainwashing kids with CRT or SEL are now like "Teachers should have guns!" You trust me with a weapon but not a textbook. If only pointing out hypocrisy had any effect on hypocrites.

I don't understand the police response. We practice run, hide, defend drills every year, and every year we have police come on campus. Their policy is they engage immediately if there is a threat on campus. It doesn't matter if it is only one officer, they are supposed to go as directly as possible to the threat. I have a hard time believing they don't have the same policies in Texas.

The TV and Streaming Thread: Pilot Week
I started watching The Kids in the Hall documentary, which is different than their new season of sketch comedy. Scott Thompson is such an interesting pioneer. Without him, the show is still a hilarious sketch comedy show, but he added an insight into gay culture that I just don't think had any exposure before then. On another note, they had a sketch about a sentient glory hole that killed me. It was strangely gross and heartwarming at the same time.
