  • "US administration struggles to present coherent narrative on why it went to war with Iran"

  • That's the problem, there are only 2 Republicans running vs. 9 Democrats.

    Split 9 ways, there's no way for a Democrat to make the top 2.

    The solution is party primaries, one for the Democrats, one for the Republicans, I don't know who decided on this single primary bullshit.

  • Current polling:

    https://www.ppic.org/publication/ppic-statewide-survey-californians-and-their-government-february-2026/

    Steve Hilton, a Republican - 14Katie Porter, a Democrat - 13Chad Bianco, a Republican - 12Eric Swalwell, a Democrat - 11Tom Steyer, a Democrat - 10*Other candidates - 30Don't know - 10

    To be clear, the primary is a top two race, so whoever the top 2 candidates are go to the general and those are your two choices for Governor.

    With 1 point separating 1 from 2, 2 from 3 and so on, it could very easily be Hilton and Bianco (the only 2 Republicans running.)

    30% of the vote is going to "Other". Those folks need to drop out and endorse a candidate who can actually win.

  • Mayhem.

  • Hard to do that when you decimate the staff.

  • Anyone who legit believes that needs to be removed and institutionalized.

    Anyone saying it because it's handy propaganda needs to be removed and tried for war crimes.

  • Where NOTHING dies? That's going to make meal prep super awkward.

  • I think it's merited for 2 reasons:

    1. The sudden shift from Sinclair to Sheridan. Sheridan is walking into all this blind, so it's a good intro to new viewers.

    I feel bad about it, I know the actor had severe mental health issues which required the change, but the jump is a little jarring.

    1. You don't REALLY appreciate Season 1 until you get through the rest of it, then it kind of all just clicks into place. It's definitely planting seeds, but those seeds don't sprout until seasons 2 and 3.
  • Lost up until Season 6.

    Walking Dead up until Negan.

    Firefly, all of it.

    Babylon 5, start with Season 2-3-4 then go back to 1.

    Really enjoying "From". But there's a drinking game:

    Every time someone asks "Hey, are you OK?" the answer is "Naw, man, I'm pretty fuckin' FAR from OK." and take a drink.

  • I can't help but think there's money in acquiring all these completed assets and coming up with a story based single player game around them.

    The creative part is already done! Pop it into a non-GaaS structure and see what happens!

    I'd have LOVED to explore the world of Brink and it was set up to be another Assassin's Creed Assassins vs. Templars vibe... and it all fell apart...

  • Well, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. 🤣

  • ^ THIS!

  • OTOH - failing to tip in a culture where it is the norm and servers do depend on them, withholding tips is problematic. It all depends on how your date treats them.

  • Yes, obviously, tipping where it's a cultural norm. 😉

  • The "Don't Know / Skipped" is lower than I expected!

  • Not a test, but a marker of character.

    How do they treat "the help"? Do they greet the waitress? Do they tip? How they treat other people indicates how they will treat you.
