Politically, Trump getting the nomination would be the best thing for Biden or any other Democrat nominee.

Biden can beat Trump again, and Trump would undoubtedly be an energizing force not just for the Presidential election, but also for the down-ballot Congressional elections in 2024 as well.

DeSantis is a stronger…

I live in Florida, and used to work in politics (for the Dems), and let me tell you: DeSantis is incredibly popular across the board, not just amongst the GOP down here.

Granted, he’s veering far right when it comes to some of the social issues (Don’t Say Gay, the African-American AP course fiasco, bills targeting what…

According to IndieWire, contestants were asked to stand still while playing “Red Light, Green Light” at 26° Fahrenheit (-3° Celsius) weather in 30-minute increments during a nine-hour filming session.

I think one of the overarching issues is that the delineation between a single-player game, a co-op game, and an online game, have all been muddled due to the ubiquity of high speed internet and the increase in the development costs that necessitate a greater ROI, which in and of itself necessitates either a game to…

Even though it dropped 3 years prior to Superbad, people need to put respect on Mean Girls’ name. Not only does it have a similar, if not greater cultural relevance to this day, but it’s a movie that has simply aged a lot better than Superbad in many respects and doesn’t feel as dated, even though it’s an older movie.

T…

The fundamental difference is that you barely see any representation of the athlete’s personality when they’re actively performing their job duties. With streamers, their personality and their job are inextricably linked, precisely because the barriers to entry with streaming are very, very low relative to being a…

They’re definitely not in their 70s in 2023. That would mean both of them were 50 during the outbreak in 2003, and it’s clear both were roughly the same age, or maybe a bit older, than Tess and Joel when they met in 2013.

Also, people can go gray much earlier than you seem to imply. I have friends who are greying in…

I didn’t see it as ALS at all.

By the time of those scenes where Frank is clearly symptomatic, he’s both in their late-40s/early-50s. By that age, ALS has either rendered the sufferer almost completely infirm (think Stephen Hawking), or they’re long dead (think Lou Gehrig, who died within 2 years of being symptomatic,…

At no point did I talk about objective, qualitative measures. The fact is that many of the consumer base, regardless of objective fact, still and will continue to see Tesla as the preemptive electric vehicle company. You are arguinging against a straw man. I agree with you on the qualitative and quantitative details…

To piggyback off of what other people have said, there’s also the reality that it doesn’t really add much in terms of gameplay. Considering that Forza has the rewind feature, which most players use, and ramming is already a very serious issue from both the AI and human players, full-scale damage modeling provides…

Tesla also, for good and for ill, has really good name recognition when it comes to electric vehicles. Plenty of people don’t necessarily want a truck, nor do they want something seen as a lesser product in terms of cachet (such as the Nissan Leaf or Chevy Volt), and other competitors aren’t yet fully in the electric…

I’ll give the author the benefit of the doubt and assume that they don’t want literal QTEs, but at least a visual acknowledgment via camera work that Joel, Ellie, and other characters are, at certain points, actively combing their surroundings (which at this point in the story are becoming increasingly unknown the…

With the Doja look, it’s the eyes. All of that red, and then the discordant white of the sclera is incredibly offputting. A better look would’ve been to remove the top half, and have the bottom half cover from her upper lip all the way down to her neckline and continue through the rest of the dress, similar to Darth…

I hope it’s McDonagh too, but Hollywood loves movies about Hollywood, and a quasi-biopic about the most commercially successful director in Hollywood history, and in the unfortunate backdrop of a rise in both national and global anti-Semitism? I can’t imagine an easier layup for Best Director, aside from the fact that…

It tells you that there must be WAY more drug traffic in the world than most of us expect.

I love Jordan Peele, but Nope was overrated and even if it was nominated, it wouldn’t win, nor would Keke Palmer if she was nominated.

This will be one of the least interesting Oscars in recent memory. It’s clear that Best Picture will either be Everything Everywhere All at Once or The Fabelmans, Best Actor will be…

The only issue I would have (as some who played the game and thus far thinks the show is great) is that by avoiding certain game aspects (scavenging and crafting) too much, you run the risk of making the world seem less dangerous than it is. I’ll explain.

They’ve already made the outbreak less dangerous in that it’s…

Nobody watching a dramatic TV show wants to see Joel craft a bomb or a shiv.

Why would you pick up the company with its current liabilities if you could just wait for it to die and pick up the assets you want in the liquidation sale?

To be fair, the attention shelf-life of a show where the primary narrative question is a “Will they, won’t they?” between two middle-aged, wealthy, and white gay guys is rather short. It’s more than telling that the most captivating interactions involved the black characters on the show (played expertly by Tisha…
