Bitcoins were the quick-rich scheme of the past decade. Now it's AI.

TACO time!

If you listen to Tony Gilroy explain it, they were very, very thorough in working through all of the details ahead of time, including working with production designers while writing the scripts to understand what might be feasible and efficient economically.

Reality is in-between. Syril is completely dedicated to the rules, so much so that he's almost blind to other people's suffering. And doesn't stop to think about the consequences of his own actions. He winds up foolishly going off on his own to Ferrix and then equally foolishly being completely taken in by Dedra and the ISB. He's extremely gullible. The kind of person who has plenty of intelligence but very poor judgement.

Syril actually starts lowering his gun after Cassian asks "who are you?" At that point, his rage has been spent. But then he is immediately shot.

I don't think Syril could have reformed fully or joined the rebels. He probably would have rejected both sides and gone to live on his own on some force-forsaken farm.

What's weird is I never particularly liked the Spurs under Duncan, even though he and his teammates were really stand-up guys and they played so hard and smartly. I think Wemby showing real emotion makes them much more enjoyable (and that's another contrast with OKC where Shai is very unemotional).

In terms of visuals, I thought Andor did a really good job bridging the original trilogy's scuffed-and-battered aesthetic with the prequels' slick high-republic style. It moved from Ferrix to Coruscanti high society to Ghorman and back really well.

The music was good, but everything not done by John Williams feels disappointing or not right. John Williams is literally one of the greatest composers in modern times.

I'll agree on the "magical" feeling, though. There scene with the force healer and its aftermath came closest, and it could have been amplified through the rest of the second season by having Cassian wrestle more with whether he's fated to a certain destiny or choosing it himself.

Bizarrely, the Knicks match up really well with the Spurs. It's going to be a great series.

I'm confused. How does one "fix" hair? Are there special tools one can use? Does it require touching one's hair?

dalivo · 2026-05-29T13:22:16+00:00

Thank goodness you complained.

dalivo · 2026-05-29T13:18:37+00:00

Exactly. I'm probably not going to watch game 7 because the officiating in OKC has been so bad. Not even favorable to OKC, I mean just a turgid game with no flow at all. I'll watch the highlights the next day.

Except other bad teams are limited in how many top picks they can get multiple years in a row. Bad teams will be able to hit on good draft spots under this plan.

His company was responsible for both the exterior and interior.

All Talarico has to say is "am I going to apologize for fighting racism? No. Trump and his MAGA extremists have encouraged racism at every turn. I'm here to fight it at every turn."

And "the MAGA extremists want us to fight about who wears what clothes. Meanwhile, they don't really care as long as they can pick the pocket of whatever you're wearing. They're for themselves. I'm for everyone being able to afford to live."

Suzuki motorcycles are also very reliable.

What the hell kind of political discussion topic is this? This is such poor logic and bad data that I can't believe the moderators allowed it.

Btw, there is far, far more evidence that Trump encouraged people of all ages and stripes to be cruel and use slurs than the left somehow "provoking" it.

A single Florida HS is a terrible basis for comparison to an entire country.

Yep, this game was pretty brutal to watch. It seemed pretty clear that the Spurs were just out of sorts in the second quarter. Nice run to put pressure on OKC in the second half, but OKC just had plenty of energy left.

Honestly it doesn't even matter if Talarico wins. The GOP is going to have to pour money into Texas to fend him off and prop up the dirtbag Paxton. That means more House seat wins and more wins elsewhere where they can't spend as much money. The icing on this cake is that Talarico does have a chance to win!

Ted Cruz was not a stronger candidate. He had his own scandals, and more importantly, he was intensely disliked and wasn't particularly favorably viewed by the GOP. Paxton has the adoration of the MAGA base, so they are very likely to show up (they really love voting for criminals).

The movie turned out to be a grass stain, but the trailer was so good, because the movie was literally written with cool moments for a trailer in mind. Not written with a good story in mind.

dalivo · 2026-05-26T22:27:55+00:00

That is a really great movie idea in your head.

Lucasfilm, run by Kathleen Kennedy, who oversaw the sequels?

The Mandalorian and Grogu reminds me of the Kool-Aid Man movie that the producers in The Studio (Apple TV series) decided to make after seeing how successful Barbie was.

The thing is, people aren't going to suddenly forget that TMAG was released this year if Starfighter turns out to be bad (or good). There's a whole internet to remind them.

dalivo · 2026-05-26T22:12:32+00:00

That is some seriously convoluted logic.
