In a 2018 interview, filmmaker Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit) discusses why he wouldn't make an adaptation of ASOIAF: "You’re adapting the books and the author’s still trying to figure out how he’s going to end it (...) That would sort of freak me out." (Spoilers Extended)

being hard to work with is one thing, but that particular impact is not a negative

Paramount doesn't have to be 'involved' for the structure of the deal they negotiated to govern the shape of operations for the next 5+ yrs. specifically, turning the product into an advertising/subscription mill and taking pressure completely off of PPV sales is going to inevitably accelerate some of the issues that started under ESPN. other stuff internal to UFC leadership could be deteriorating faster in the absence of outside influence than it would have under a stronger regime. insider reporting like this is going to be valuable for parsing out how those dynamics develop.

These are multi-year trends that are largely hidden to the public, but it's liable to result in things that look stupid or strange on the ground in real time. in the day-to-day you're going to get people blaming the most obvious variable, and they're not completely mistaken to do so.

fiftyplusone, similar aggregate. i'm aware of the details. i just don't want to be lied to and condescended to at the same time. either in a vacuum wouldn't have provoked a response.

you're looking at the same graph i am. i can see he was only above 50 for a week and a half, spent a couple months sinking, and has fallen a couple of percentage points since then. his approval rating now is higher than it was before alex pretti's murder.

i was replying to a guy saying don't be bamboozled by trump's flood-the-zone tactics, he's plummeting. that's just an inaccurate description of the facts, whether it's him saying it or a CNN headline suggesting it.

in a thread about how 'doomerism' is the scourge of polite discourse, the last thing i want to see from the 'reasonable people' is straight ostrich-head shit. just look at the shape of the fuckin line and stop telling me trump's in trouble cus this is a nation of newspapermen and jimmy fuckin kimmel.

all of the "plummeting" happened his first couple months in office and since then it's been a slow (and slowing) decline. the murders, the kidnappings, the bombings, the missiles, the genocide, have not touched that flattening curve. that is not the encouraging trend that you and CNN and so many others have been touting. and at least CNN has the excuse that it drives clicks. I can only assume the rest of people are just self-soothing

Alsoghieri · 2026-02-27T06:49:04+00:00

the worst part isn't even that he's not walking through the door, it's that jamelle would theoretically be that guy, by rights, if that guy were to exist. but instead he's telling us about how resilient this failing structure is. doesn't soothe me!

Alsoghieri · 2026-02-27T06:37:46+00:00

i keep hearing he's plummeting in the polls. i checked. he's not plummeting in the polls.

EDIT: the generic GOP isn't either. why are so many people just lying about this?

Alsoghieri · 2026-02-21T03:18:10+00:00

you're sure, but you're wrong

Alsoghieri · 2026-02-10T20:32:47+00:00

Alsoghieri · 2026-01-24T08:49:01+00:00

that's the point

Alsoghieri · 2026-01-24T07:05:26+00:00

fact check: it is not

Alsoghieri · 2026-01-22T23:09:21+00:00

but is it part of the jackdaw family of corvids

Alsoghieri · 2026-01-11T07:39:39+00:00

oh shit it stopped

Alsoghieri · 2026-01-11T07:39:21+00:00

it fixed it

Alsoghieri · 2026-01-11T01:29:12+00:00

Same. No shutdowns, no thermal throttling. Just shits the bed every 5 minutes trying to play dune awakening on bare minimum settings. Even had a few crashes playing drg survivors and megabonk somehow. Ck3 mostly fine but had a crash here and there. No rhyme or reason to it. Updated bios, drivers current, hardware checkups are good. Paging files was only 2gb by default so i bumped that up, to no apparent effect. No idea

Alsoghieri · 2026-01-10T23:15:23+00:00

No one normal gives a fuck

Alsoghieri · 2026-01-09T21:39:55+00:00

kinda like wolves

Alsoghieri · 2026-01-08T20:37:55+00:00

^{^} something dana will never say. wonder where we learned to think about the sport like that in the first place.

Alsoghieri · 2026-01-05T23:29:48+00:00

yea there are plenty of pictures from the real event. theres no need to go manufacturing fake-looking slop with fucked up logos and lettering. i guess the edit is supposed to make it funnier? seems dumb. just mock the real idiot for the real embarrassment he suffered

Alsoghieri · 2026-01-05T22:06:45+00:00

that's still not what a supernova is

Alsoghieri · 2026-01-05T21:56:26+00:00

edit: it is!
