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.
ZooeyModeratorWorked for me. The outcome was never really in doubt from the beginning drive. Solid everywhere. No complaints.
Everett siting, not that I care, but just saying.
A good long throw by Goff. Something we haven’t seen in a while.
Solid game all around except for that kicker guy. Jeeze that guy is going to lose us a game at some point.
ZooeyModeratorI use Facebook for my news feed. I follow a bunch of leftist groups there (and Libs), and mark them “Show First,” or whatever it is.
Twitter…my fear is following so many people that the feed becomes Niagara Falls. I’m only following around 30 people, and it’s like watching NASCAR. Too many cars, and I’m not sure how many of them I’ve already seen.
But Mack is there. And he posts gold, like the Pumpkin Spice Bleach tweet. And zn is there to chip in on Rams related stuff. He is there to point out stuff like the Rams need an Offensive Line in order to keep the enemy off of Goff. And Nittany is there to say, “Akshually…if you blend bionanphosate with xyoletholine, you will never achieve homeostanthesis. Under the conditions prescribed, you would have to….”
So that’s all good.
I am there to get retweeted by John Cleese…which Mack, zn, and Nittany never have.
October 10, 2020 at 11:15 am in reply to: Insanity in the Trump Era: Cherry picked support for whistleblowers. #122748ZooeyModeratorYeah. I…yeah.
I don’t have anything to offer except that humans are complicated, and good people do bad things, and stupid things, and that includes the Left.
One of the reasons I love Vonnegut so much is that he saw humans as “bungled and botched.” And in his worldview, his sympathies were with common people. But he also had a knack for portraying the “fabulously well-to-do” as common people as well. He held an equalizing vision of humans. That…regardless of station…we are all just bungled and botched. Rich Poor. Left Right. Old Young.
And he had compassion for that.
And I find myself circling back to that whenever I am feeling particularly self-righteous. Which is too often.
I guess what I’m saying is…don’t expect too much from people.
ZooeyModeratorI just have to say that I just got retweeted by John Cleese 10 minutes ago which is kinda cool because…John Cleese retweeted me.

October 9, 2020 at 12:17 pm in reply to: Rams v. Washington: another game against the dangerous NFC East #122700ZooeyModeratorJust in case there is any confusion, I would like to clear up my position on this team.
I hate them.
And changing their name does not mitigate that whatsoever. I still hate them. For reasons, good ones, too.
So… I will be rooting for the Rams to win this game.
Just wanted to clarify that.
ZooeyModeratorVP Pence has canceled all his events today in AZ and IN, and is returning to DC.
For some reason.
ZooeyModeratorRadical left: Healthcare plz
Radical right: let’s kidnap a Governor
