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?

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.

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?

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.
HBO used to show this a lot. It's probably terrible now that I'm not 14, but I remember laughing my arse off at Prior playing the suburban dad. All the guys that played the idiots in the movie really steal their scenes.
Another late 80's HBO regular. Probably terrible now that I'm older, but was basically Agatha Christie for a middle schooler. And I will always know what constitutes a metaphor.
When she walked into the interview room looking all “cash me outside”, I was not shocked.
Im surprised the defense attorney didn’t talk her out of a bench trial. Juries love to let women walk. I’m still not 100% convinced she intended suicide and death, but she certainly had psycho moments and that was one of them.

It’s easy to forget how Alabama and Auburn traded places during the 80s and some of the 90s. Auburn had a few Iron Bowl streaks.

Where’d you get this list? It seems like there’s something off about 1988. I can only assume it’s intentionally done. Because you clearly have no issue with other split champions.

It's a tough call. I'm seriously just as disinterested in some of them, but last night's was interesting. I agree with you though about the priorities.
I feel like quite a few of the past episodes have been them scrounging up a lot of crap from the editing room floor and saying "oh look, this can be another episode."

It's public education. And it fits about 80% of the population, and it's always been that way.
I noticed I didn't see attendance, reliability, responsibility, being on time, etc. being on that list. I'm curious what the excuse is for that behavior.

3/4ths of those graduates used AI to do their academic work for most of their college careers. Hypocrites.
