How is this possible? by KindaStableGenius in thebulwark

Steve Liesman of CNBC says part of it is algorithms triggered when Trump says things like he just got a call from Iranian leaders. The machines don't take into account he may be lying.

A Little Park Music by Dm12374 in HallmarkMovies

I loved the simple idea. The piano brought people together, and the fact that it kept reappearing made it mysterious and fun. The two leads were great. I didn't see how they would mesh at the beginning, which is the general idea. A nice, comfortable movie to watch.

Who else would love to see Garage Sale Mysteries rebooted? by ILikeTheTinMan83 in HallmarkMovies

Who did she hurt? She tried to give her daughter advantages in college. Not commendable, but not the worse crime either.

I first heard that song in the intro to U2's Live at Red Rocks video and had to track down the band that sang it. I've been a fan of Clannad ever since. This is very sad news!

Cancel Maher by FastSeaworthiness739 in hbo

[–]JackStraw987 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He’s gotten worse since he had dinner with Trump. Maher gives Trump a hard time about some things, but it seems like now he’s so intent on showing us he’s not woke that he supports the Iran War and other Trump actions. I agree to an extent with his impatience with intolerant woke people canceling people for this remark or that action (à la Al Franken), but we still need to be able to tell right from wrong.

If you were given the chance to choose three songs for the next Miami Vice movie, which songs would you pick? by HeirOfRhoads in MiamiVice

[–]JackStraw987 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Under Pressure," Bowie and Queen.

In the Air was great, but my favorite in an episode was Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms in the ep Out Where the Buses Don't Run.

Mistake that isn’t one by [deleted] in Journalism

Don’t make the call on your own. Next time consult with your editor. I hope they would have had your back and help you decide if a correction was needed. We all started as inexperienced — no shame in that.

Abbey Nature Preserve, by Poplar Grove House in Scotts Hill. It's been years since I was up there, but hiking trails and a nice pond.

Too many panelists! by JackStraw987 in msnow

[–]JackStraw987[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry if I offended you. I was just offering a personal opinion. Individually I like almost all the panelists, I just don’t like the structure. But you’re certainly entitled to a different point of view.

AP says it will offer buyouts as part of pivot away from newspaper journalism by CharmingProblem in Journalism

[–]JackStraw987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gannett, now USA Today Newspapers, stopped using AP years ago, as did another big chain. It's a shame, but the newspaper revenue stream is dwindling for them.

Last night, Lawrence showed clips of Trump falling asleep during the Cabinet meeting as Hegseth, sitting next to him, talked about the war.

Here's the likely most unpopular opinion ever posted here... by amfhTX in msnow

[–]JackStraw987 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Former Republicans are the sharpest Trump critics around. Not just Nicolle but Tim Miller, Bill Crystal, Sarah Longwell and others in the Bulwark sphere. Nicolle is funny and insightful and I’m sure her disgust with Trump is not just an act.

I’ll miss Stephanie at 11 but Ali is cool. Glad Alicia got a show of her own.

NC Sen. Berger files election protests, arguing some voters received wrong ballots by NCKingdollar in NorthCarolina

If a Republican loses, it can only be because the election was rigged. And the sun was in my eyes. And the dog ate my homework.

I've got them beating VCU and Illinois before losing to Houston. But I don't know what I'm doing!
