re: How does the FIFA World Cup survive?

Imagine watching two golfers putt the ball back and forth for 96 minutes. That’s what I just watched.
So I’ve been watching the World Cup for the last 45 minutes. It’s so boring. They kick the ball back and forth for twenty minutes, then it looks like something will happen. Nothing happens. Then they kick the ball around again. I don’t get soccer.

This one will be remembered for the social media event that is Europeans discovering that the United States is awesome.

Found this at a beer store here in Huntsville.
FBD.
I’ve pretty much abandoned glasses. It is what it is.

They aren’t on their phones and are focusing on the activities
It didn’t make it. Tree guys came today. They left me some firewood. I’m having a beer in its honor.
This isn’t the first time she’s hid something from you. Y’all have issues.
Not gaslighting you, but why would she feel like she needed to hide it from you?

I was in GT but I guess I wasn’t gifted or talented enough to warrant CIA attention

I remember being in elementary school and learning that it had been under construction for over a hundred years. I’m 50.
Im glad they got it done.

The only ones wearing them in Huntsville are Afghan women (refugees). It wasn’t just the Taliban who kept them covered up.
alajones2 and I started watching this a couple of weeks ago. I immediately got Lost vibes. Which frankly isn’t a complement. It’s already starting to veer off the cliff IMO. I don’t see a satisfactory ending to this show, and I can’t believe there’s going to be a season five. It seems like the writers keep moving the goal posts as long as there are enough people watching.
Most of this show is good, though. The lead actors do a great job.
It’s pretty frustrating watching the same lack of communication between characters cause problems over and over.
The ending to episode one of season 3 was retarded and gratuitous. If the monsters could have killed the livestock the whole time, why now? How stupid are those people not to realize it’s a trap? You rounded them up once, just wait until daylight and do it again.
Did we really need to see and hear that lady tortured to death?
I’m taking a break from it after that.

Rules?
quote:And LSU had been getting pushed around by Alabama for years.
The rabble here will anoint him their God because he pushed a bad LSU team around, but his team sure as frick didn’t do that to Texas or Miami. Even with him closer to his best today, there’s still better and younger on the market.
Two things can be true
1. His time at LSU was over
2. CBK was a jerk who did him wrong
I work in Don't forget to bring a towel, taco flavored kisses, I thought this was America, and whatever, whatever, I do what I want into everyday conversation.
He was right in that there were communists in the state department. He was absolutely not "righteous".
He made up stuff out of whole cloth, he was a closeted homosexual, and he was an insane alcoholic. He did more harm to the anti-communist cause than he did good.

Hollywood History-Blacklisting
Posted by alajones on 5/20/26 at 9:22 pm
This is a new book coming out about the era of the Second Red Scare. It’s worth the 16 minute listen.

He’s 100% dead on balls accurate about what students learn about this topic. I’m barely in academia and the narrative has been for a while that we (the U.S.) are just as much to blame for starting the Cold War as the Soviets, and the Second Red Scare was all hysteria and gay persecution.

It turns out the history books have it all wrong. Richard Nixon was a hero. Dalton Trumbo was a snitch. And Elia Kazan, the most notorious name-namer of them all, was simply a courageous patriot who told the truth.

Kazan, the director of On the Waterfront and A Streetcar Named Desire, who notoriously named names before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1952, was simply a man who did the right thing — unlike half the attendees at the 1999 Academy Awards who sat on their hands when Kazan finally received an honorary Oscar.

Visiting Alaska- To cruise or not to cruise? That is the question.
Posted by alajones on 5/19/26 at 11:56 am
alajones2 wants to visit Alaska, see the whales, the glacier calving, do the Denali Train, etc. But gives two fricks about being on a boat. Is there a way to do the cruise type excursions all down the coast and end up in Victoria without doing the cruise? Would it be too cost prohibitive?
re: Does the Movie Theater enhance your film experience?
Posted by alajones on 5/19/26 at 10:41 am to The Dunder Mifflin
alajones2 and I watched Devil Wears Prada 2 on Sunday and I was very happy that we saw it in theaters. My FB Reels algorithm is full of "what is wrong with movies today" videos (Director's choosing green screens over sets, digital lighting is shitty, etc.). This movie was just really well done. The locations, the sets, the shots of NYC and Milan, etc. Just a great job.
