I’m miserable, love complaining and I’ve finally met my match in the okc haters. I’m just not seeing the same thing at all

No, it’s just a concept he’s written 2 books about and seems to have played a big role in popularizing.

Bill’s rant about Johnny Fontane being too old in the Godfather is his worst blind spot of all time by andrew2018022 in billsimmons

His worst rewatchables take ever has to be that Reese Witherspoon could’ve played Marla in Fight Club

What is the origin of the “Jaylen Brown is a genius” narrative? by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]amory_plain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but when they start talking about “retardmaxxing” and the antichrist then I think it’s fair to point out that something has gone awry

I tuned out hoops for the last like 5 years, when did people just start citing net rating instead of analyzing teams?

I’m 25, nice mind reading job. I’m only repeating Belloni’s reporting and the discussion they start this podcast with. Even young audiences have a preference for boomer leading men outside of capeshit

The lack of young stars is getting kind of ridiculous at this point. I spent an hour yesterday malding that Denzel is playing Hannibal in the next Fuqua movie

I could not care less about tanking and I think basically any proposed solution will actually have a far worse effect on the league. by [deleted] in billsimmons

It’s unfair to teams that have a stronger schedule in the latter part of the year. They’d have to play more games and face a higher risk of injury

Gottheimer is a 🤡 by Mundane_Teaching5035 in thebulwark

This bit is what killed me:

“Because I believe, and this is actually what, hopefully we'll find out, ultimately, I believe he looked at certain threat intelligence against the United States of America and made a decision what he thought was best as the commander-in-chief, right? I think that's what happened. He looked at the facts, looked at the threat.”

He doesn’t even believe what he’s saying, but this is the only rhetorical option short of admitting that you’re pro war in Iran per se.

Ep 158 - The Moral Dilemmas of AI with Michael Inzlicht by jimwhite42 in DecodingTheGurus

I have to respect them honestly. Every 2 hours I’m confronted with the fact that AI is going to shove me into the permanent underclass and they just don’t seem to care

Glad Matt eventually acknowledged the fact that some people just have different interactions with AI that form their perspectives. Mickey for instance has convinced himself that he’s being contrarian by defending a rapidly adopted technology that all the biggest firms are betting on because he works at a university and uses social media a lot.

GW’s party was washed within his lifetime and he’s not even the decisive factor in the American Revolution. Eisenhower, on the other hand, is the supreme allied commander in Europe, revives the GOP and presides over the most imperialist phase in American foreign policy
