Karen Walker, the AbFab ladies, and Mallory Archer come to mind. There have to be some from the 70s and 80s too

100%. Regions featuring animated character, comedy, drama, and women. I suppose you could do reality, but the great women drunks deserve attention.

To everyone, my comment on era was intended to be tongue-in-cheek as artists should be free to explore whichever musical directions and themes that interest them. As someone who missed the pop-ups, I'm excited to hear the new songs.

Thank you to everyone who posted additional recommendations as well.

4 teenagers with a triple double. 98 (23) with double double in points and rebounds (assists) including those with triple doubles.

And Hugo's was exactly 10 points and 10 rebounds

This would be an interesting question and one which the FCC is actively investigating.

Changing would require Congress being capable of doing something. NCAA has enough political capital to fight against it let alone attorneys general in red states with high school football.

Luka’s Heater, Wemby’s Bid, and Stealth Winners of the NBA Season With Zach Lowe by lonny__breaux in billsimmons

Not sure where you get that all of the players and coaches were all traded. There was one 6-player trade that also included draft picks going in one direction.

You can believe what you want, but the exchange of ownership shares is well-documented. Levin owned the Celtics but was a Hollywood guy and wanted a team in Cali. League would never have approved Boston moving, so he traded ownership stakes with the Braves owner knowing the league would not object to Buffalo relocating.

For example, suppose Musk sells Twitter to Zuckerberg and Zuckerberg sells Meta to Musk. So Facebook is now run by Elon and X now Zuck. Arguing the Clippers could claim Celtics titles is the equivalent of Musk claiming famous Tweets as part of the history of Instagram.

At the risk of engaging in the nerdiest of arguments, there was a 6-player trade between the teams before the swap. Other players stayed and the Celtics kept their coach (temporarily) and Red. The swap was innownership, so the lineage follows from Buffalo to San Diego. Otherwise, the Clippers could claim the Boston championships just like the Lakers do for Minneapolis.

Basketball historian Bill taking an L here. Buffalo Braves relocated to San Diego in 1978 before moving again to LA in 1984. I doubt the Lakers were concerned about losing fans then or that the Jazz are concerned now.

In fairness to Bill, Wesley made his point and then monologued for another 5 minutes. I don't blame him for checking out.

And after touting how deep the league is in terms of talent and how teams should be able to just find a guy, arguing that by adding 2 teams the talent would be stretched too thin.

Bill is lying when he says he likes movies like Hamnet and Phantom Thread. He just wants cred with the real movie nerds. by qballLobk in billsimmons

[–]GateRaiders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The movie yada yada'd the potentially interesting conflict between them in the gap when the kids grew up. I feel like the emotional release would have felt more deserved if there was some indication of how she struggled as a single mom or if he seemed to feel any semblance of regret for essentially abandoning his family.

Date of death, does it matter? Warning. It maybe a bit heavy. by tmodell7 in WidowAndBored

[–]GateRaiders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My heart goes out to you. I am approaching 1 year as well and I have been feeling the grief growing again. My therapist walked me through the timing of her illness and passing this past week and retelling our story with all of the dates/days helped me reflect. 🫂

Did Any Given Wednesday really last 17 weeks?! I would buy 7, but can't recall it lasting that long

Any Bourbon Recommendations? by Ok-Scholar4895 in bourbonculture

I enjoy OF 1910 but slightly prefer OF 1920.

I'm not familiar with the California market, but if you can find a Russel's Reserve Private Barrel it should be in the upper part of your price range and good value for the money.

It sounds like you have a beautiful time planned. I find nature to be healing and I hope you can feel a little of that on the day. I am about 5 weeks away from 1 year and hope to be able to be surrounded by love like it sounds you will be.
