Just based on the summary stealing something from a "goodwill space exhibition" is objectively a dick move. Also how a moon probe is relevant to the threat of terrestrial nuclear war is unclear to me.

It's the only time I've heard him say something that sounded like honesty. Very strange. I laughed out loud.

The two preparations are quite similar aren't they?

I've never managed to watch the whole series. There's great bits but I get super uncomfortable with Walters bumbling, flagrant dishonesty with his wife and family. I get the same thing with a few different shows and I just don't enjoy it. To the point where I find myself just switching the TV off mid way through a scene and going to do something else without even really thinking about it.

If I had to describe the sensation it would be "extreme toe-curling cringe".

It's been great if we could slow down the rate at which the digging is increasing, for starters. Even that'd be a thing to see.

Always worth a rewatch! So damn good!

I listened to a podcast about his life & times, some of the sources they used included his love letters which added a whole other dimension to his character. You have this immensely powerful and gifted military leader, feared across Europe, writing to a 19 year old he just met at a party about how he's just going to die of sadness if she doesn't write back to him immediately.

"We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country,"

That's a quote from the press conference.

I reckon so! I wonder if you can spin it?

Both things can be true though, bmw does have marketing which will effect our impressions of driving one but at the same time there are objective differences in quality between a 3 series bmw and say a Honda Civic that you will definitely notice when driving one.

You can argue the beemer is overpriced and that marketing had an effect but that doesn't eliminate the differences entirely.

"Let Russ Cook" was a catchphrase in the NFL a few years ago, talking about Russell Wilson. There's even a Know Your Meme entry on it which says:

essentially meaning let Russell Wilson be himself and do his thing,

This apparently originated from a 2019 tweet but can be traced back to:

a YouTube fan video set to a Lil B song uploaded on July 14th, 2010. The video is titled, "LIL B BASED COOKING (LET THAT BOY COOK)," and features YouTuber Jordan Collier doing a stirring motion with his hand as he dances to Lil B's track "Suck My Dick Hoe."

I've just broken my left collarbone and for the next couple weeks have left arm in a sling. Thinking about games that are played just with the right hand?

I've already got Slay the Princess which I've been meaning to get around to for a while and Disco Elysium which I never got far through, but taking any suggestions at this point, always keen to try fresh genres and formats.

Let em on me!

Thanks, gang.
