Star wars is in a very bad place. The controversial release of TLJ and the flip of Solo, caused a bit of concern. After the release of ROS, that became panic and Disney slammed the brakes on movies. They also distanced anything new from their trilogy. The pivot to streaming releases was an attempt to repair the franchise with. Outside Mandalorian, the series were intended to be movies, and most of them were a bad 90 minute movie stretched to a bad 4 hour show.

Some of the shows are cohesive, but there's several groups. Bad batch follows the clone wars animated series. Rebels leads into Ashoka. Andor leads to Rogue One. Boba Fett is a partial season of Mandalorian, which is the closest thing to the Disney trilogy. Obi wan and Acolyte should be forgotten.

You still want a backup either way. Cousins is also getting paid either way. It seems more like anger that a controversial contract signing is ending up badly, he's still likely in the 25 to 35th best QB.

Bond hasn't been good since they couldn't use the Soviets anymore as an enemy. Modern producers aren't willing to sacrifice Chinese money to make a real enemy.

That seems dangerous and cheap. They already spent 100M on him. Pennix is still an unknown.

If you have clear nail polish that would probably work. Otherwise I'd buy a clear acrylic spray paint, probably glossy finish, but any would work.

We made flights more secure with the better door to the cockpit. The TSA part is equally effective as a metal detector is. It wouldn't be less secure to not do the enhanced screening the TSA does. It would mean several companies lose out on massive contracts for that fancy equipment, which is why it won't happen.

We can find a better jobs program than making air travel suck.

I missed that small detail.

While this is egregious, it's not uncommon. The highest paid (including overtime) positions in pretty much every municipality are police. If they weren't police, much of that overtime would be called racketeering.

Yes, saving is like a muscle you need to do it to get better with it. It's far easier to turn 50/months into 200/month as your income grows, than starting at 200/month.

Even Lucas can write better dialog.

She went outside to smoke, so that's good at least.

 

Now is a great time for if I were there hypotheticals, so here's mine.

Once it was decided to run Harris and push Biden out, they should have gone all the way and used the 25th amendment to let Harris become president. This would have effectively separated her from Biden while still allowing her to take credit for the good stuff. She could have instructed the DOJ to start investigating price gouging now, and campaigned on needing to win to keep it up.

The 100ish days wouldn't have been enough for wholesale replacement, but it could have created a concrete message of this is where I want to go. A campaign focused on already delivering is a positive message people could get behind as well.

 

With Tyrek Hill being detained less than 4 months after the arrest of Scottie Scheffler, have the police actually angered enough people with money and power that there could be actual consequences?

 

Not a huge surprise.

Harbaugh is looking at a 4 game suspension for lying to NCAA investigation. Ultimately meaningless because the first 4 games aren't against anyone competitive. This could be an excuse to not extend his contract that expires after this season.

Preseason predictions. (self.detroitlions)

What is everyone's predictions for the coming season? The hype is as an all time high for the Lions, is anyone buying it?

Vegas has the Lions at 9.5 wins, I think it's totally possible that they can hit the over. I'm buying the hype and think that this year it's the Lions division to lose. Superbowl is probably not happening, but 1-2 playoff wins could happen.
