ZooeyModeratorWow, Zooey i was just gonna post that ten seconds ago. Awesome thread. I cant believe that guy is a NYTimes writer.
It’s the 25-year Rule.
If it happened over 25 years ago, it’s okay to talk about because it’s ancient history and has no reflection on the current power structure. Bad Apples.
You won’t see that guy running a thread on Yemen, or Libya.
ZooeyModeratorAgree on Goff. He loses accuracy when he feels pressure, and I was hoping that this year is the year he improved in that area, but he hasn’t. With good protection, he is very accurate with the once-a-game wild pitch, but under pressure, he regresses.
On that pass to Brown…looked to me like Brown stopped short in the wide open space and Goff led him into a narrower window. Miscommunication.
The Lewis sighting was impressive. Would love to see more of that.
The defense did a great job overall. They did some bending, but didn’t break. That secondary is really good.
Chicago has to be self-doubting now. The Bears defense outscored the Bears offense. And Foles apparently questioned his OC’s play-calling in talking to Griese before the game. I’m guessing that team has hit its high water mark for the season, and is on its way down to the pack.
ZooeyModeratorThis is a good thread
Neoliberalism's starting gun went off on 1973, when a US- and UK-backed fascist military deposed Salvador Allende, the incredibly popular, democratically elected president of Chile.

ZooeyModeratorWhen most people were [nervously waiting to see if they'd lose their health care], Pete Buttigieg started [finding a way to monetize his campaign based around preserving the corporate health care system]. Now [he's a multimillionaire while millions of people can't see a doctor]. https://t.co/9NuGi5UTpa

ZooeyModeratorWell, Bernie Sanders did not get the memo. He apparently believes he will be president.
My man Bernie sanders
With the truth bomb ⬇️@BernieSanders: If Trump is re-elected, we will be on defense for the next four years.I want to go on the offensive.
We must elect Joe Biden, and then rally the American people to transform this country. pic.twitter.com/9SixjUdoq1”

ZooeyModeratorThe idea that progressive voters want things to be “perfect” and are naïve/ too demanding is propaganda intended to disguise the extent to which politicians purposefully avoid doing the bare minimum at their donors’ behest.

ZooeyModeratorThat’s quite a brush with fame there, Mack. Not quite on the level of being retweeted by a Python, but cool.
Being retweeted by John Cleese practically makes you a Python yourself. You should probably wait by your phone for the inevitable call asking you to be in their next film.
Didn’t the American guy die? That’s realistic opening for me, I think.
ZooeyModeratorWhat at trip. I might have been there when the father of one of the greatest rock guitarists ever was working.

ZooeyModerator76-6 Rams. A slightly above average Goff is going to murder Salehs garbage defense.
———————
Rams are going to drop 10 and let Aaron Donald take on the whole pass protection unit by himself…and will still get 6 sacks.
———————The 49er fans are, as usual, overly optimistic again. It’s unbelievable how they think they are going to get off this easily.
ZooeyModeratorAmy Siskind. I followed her for a while, on FB, I think.
I have a better idea. How about we track down Koch, Murdoch, Adelson, and Mercer, and hang them by their balls.
That is such an Amy Siskind thing to recommend. Fuckin’ liberals, man. Always into the symbolism without accomplishing any goddamn thing.
ZooeyModeratorThis analysis got somewhat lost in the shuffle, but Charles Koch is going big for Barrett — not bc he hopes she'll destroy Roe or the ACA, but because he hopes she'll destroy the planet 1/https://t.co/dT4mTg1u6d

ZooeyModeratorThe Lincoln Project convinced Democratic donors to part with $39,384,397 in Q3. It burned a staggering $13 million on operating expenditures, made $23.9M of IEs (mostly routed into its founders firms), and ended with $13.2M on hand. https://t.co/wvOXUYp7ed

ZooeyModeratorRAMS ON FILM
@RamsOnFilm
Rams Vs 49ers week! The Rams swept the 49ers in 1999. That year, Mike Jones took an interception to the distance! A little bob and weave action from the defense I see! 👀@DMarcoFarr1 (with the tipped ball)I was at that game with SanFram. Wonder what ever became of that guy.
ZooeyModeratorWell…my thoughts were complicated by this:
No…I don’t want to endorse corporate Dems…but I sure have a strong urge to repudiate fascism…AND the wider the popular margin of victory is for Biden, the better. Especially because it’s going to be litigated unless the Republicans lose by such a margin that there is no pathway to victory, even with stacked courts. So there’s that.
I’m just in “enough of Trump” when it comes to the vote. I have no argument with leftists who can’t vote for the centrist Dem. But I am with Zooey when it comes to swelling the numbers of those who repudiate the orange man, and so I not only want to see the republicans lose, I would like to see a high turn-out.
================
Yeah, makes perfect sense.
Some of the twitter-Greens really want the Green Party to make it to five percent. I forget why. But something-or-other happens if they get five percent.
w
vAnd I have been throwing that into the scale as well. But…what happens when they hit 5%?
They hit 5%, that’s what.
ZooeyModeratorThis is Do-or-Die for the 9ers.
Backs against the wall.
That kind of thing.
If they lose, they are Done.
Looks like they are Done anyway. But if they lose this game, it is Over Over.
The radio in NoCal has been eulogizing the 9ers for a month.
The time has come to strike the finishing blow. That much is certain.

ZooeyModerator11 hour lines. Wow.
I suppose we should be grateful they are not having to dodge German Shepherds,
or fire hoses. Or bullets.I’m gonna vote today, and i was gonna vote Biden but I checked the latest WV polls and Biden is in the 30s here. Cant even make it to 40 percent in WV. So, i suppose I’ll go ahead and vote Green. If this was a swing-state, Id vote for the Imperialist-drone-murdering-Wall-Street-Loving-Corporatist.
I’m guessing there wont be an 11 hour wait in WV.
w
vI’m torn. I’m actually considering voting for Biden…I have every other thing filled out on my ballot. But I live in California, and Biden is going to DOUBLE Trump’s vote tally in this state.
ZooeyModeratorRemember the rams drafted Greg Robinson 11 spots higher than Aaron Donald.
ZooeyModeratorWell, the Rams put their money into the secondary. This isn’t the 70s. It’s a passing league. They bought some great secondary players, and compromised on LBs. That could be why we see so many long runs (7-12 yds). The LBs are young, though, and may learn to take better angles over the season.
In any event, the most vital statistic has been, and always will be, the scoreboard.
ZooeyModeratorGood for Gurley.
But…the real question the Rams had to ask is, “How will Gurley be ranked over the last 4 games of the season?”
ZooeyModeratorHow did the challenger fare in 1936?
ZooeyModeratorThe 49ers sure do suck, though. I mean… that’s a quality life experience right there. That can go on forever, as far as I’m concerned.
