I guess I wasn't smart enough for Sorkin to see it. I thought it was just a commentary on an a-hole who became a billionaire before the age of 25.

How many times are we going to go through this? A deal is announced, Iran denies it, and then we start all over again.

People who say shite like this simply assume that the 1920s version of Babe Ruth would plop down next to the plate. They don't factor in how he'd also have access to modern day sports science and nutrition, things that weren't available to him 100+ years ago.
The Catholic Church blesses the tallest cathedral in the world how you'd imagine...

The Basilica of the Sacred Family, located in Barcelona, broke ground all the way back in 1882. On the 100th anniversary of the main architect's death, the central tower - which represents Jesus Christ - has been completed and formally blessed by Pope Leo XIV. The celebration outside the cathedral was nothing short of spectacular as the whole church was lit up for the very first time:

True dat. Artemis III will get barely any headlines when it goes up. The mission might be the most important one so far, but it's staying in low earth orbit so there won't be as much coverage for Artemis III as there will be for Artemis IV.
NASA announces the crew of Artemis III
Posted by RollTide1987 on 6/9/26 at 9:52 pm
This just might be the toughest and most complex mission NASA astronauts have done since the Apollo missions. The mission of the Artemis program's second manned spaceflight will be to successfully test the lunar landing systems the project will employ to land on the surface of the moon while in earth orbit. A lot has to go right for the mission to be deemed a success so that Artemis IV can land here in the next few years.
Here are the four brave souls who have been chosen to carry out that mission:
Of course you have your usual suspects screaming on social media about there being too much testosterone in this photograph.

Seriously, what are we even doing anymore? If Sorsby plays a single down in 2026, this sport is all but dead. The NCAA can’t even enforce common sense rules anymore because of hometown judges and their home-cooked injunctions.

The government has a vested interest in collegiate athletics seeing as they provide an overwhelming amount of funding to the vast majority of these schools.
Lest you forget, these are state-run institutions.

I would like to think that this will be overturned on appeal but I have no faith in our judicial system with regards to collegiate athletics anymore. This is why Congress needs to get involved. Until the NCAA is given actual teeth by legislation, this shite will continue to happen.

Good thing hearsay isn't allowed into evidence.
From the Internet:
Statements made by a defendant outside of court to a witness are generally admissible and are legally not barred by the hearsay rule. Under American law—specifically Federal Rule of Evidence 801(d)(2)—these statements are classified as Statements of an Opposing Party (historically known as "party-opponent admissions"). Because they are categorized as an exemption to the hearsay rule, the prosecution or opposing party can freely introduce them, provided the witness heard the statement firsthand.

In all honesty? The first two episodes are fantastic but the show kind of drags a little after that. There are still some great moments in each of the following episodes, but they don't come anywhere near the consistency that the first two episodes enjoyed.
250 years ago today: A resolution is put forth in Philadelphia that will change the world
Posted by RollTide1987 on 6/7/26 at 3:32 pm
June 7, 1776:
quote:
250 years ago today, a man stood up in a room full of nervous delegates and said the words that made America inevitable.
Not Thomas Jefferson. Not George Washington. Not Benjamin Franklin.
A Virginia planter named Richard Henry Lee.
It was June 7, 1776. The war had already been going for over a year. Men were dying. Cities were burning. And yet the Continental Congress still had not officially declared independence from Britain.
That morning, Lee rose and read aloud a resolution he had been instructed to deliver by Virginia:
"That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."
John Adams immediately seconded it.
The room erupted.
D-Day was only the first day of a far larger and far more brutal campaign in Normandy...
Posted by RollTide1987 on 6/7/26 at 3:03 pm
The tributes that come in every year on June 6 in regards to the Normandy landings are, of course, well-deserved. However, I feel like they mask a truth that people seem to have forgotten over the prevailing decades. D-Day was only the start of liberation. It would take almost three entire months for the Allies to reach Paris, and the number of men who became casualties of war to to get Paris are staggering.
It is estimated that the United States suffered around 6,000 casualties on June 6, 1944 (2,501 of which were KIA). For the Battle of Normandy as a whole, the United States suffered 135,000 total casualties (29,000 of which were KIA). Operation Overlord was far larger than just the beach landings. It was a brutal, Eastern Front-style campaign that saw total casualties for the Allies and Germans soar to over 500,000 killed, wounded, and missing/captured.
I guess the reason why I made this thread is for people to understand that the battle wasn't won on the beaches of Omaha, but in the streets of Carentan and St. Lo, in the battered buildings of Caen, and in the small, irregular fields of the Norman bocage.

I'm starting to get very tired of our Israeli allies. They march to the beat of their own drum and then complain when the world doesn't support them. I understood what they did in the aftermath of October 7, I don't understand what they are trying to do here.

Jehovah's Witnesses aren't Christian either. They should have been excluded along with the Mormons. Seventh Day Adventists are borderline.
John C. Reilly told Leonardo DiCaprio to turn down Titanic and do Boogie Nights instead
Posted by RollTide1987 on 6/6/26 at 8:39 pm
In hindsight this looks like bad advice, but in the moment Titanic was a big risk that could have been a career killer for all the people who starred in it. Look at what happened to Kevin Costner's career after Waterworld and The Postman. While he eventually rebounded on television, his film career hasn't been in the same ever since.
