Ted

I got married today

BEGGING YOU to read project hail mary before you go see the movie it's one of the best sci fi books i've ever read

Don't worry, it will only be like one of the most brutal battles of World War II

The truth finally comes out. An expert confirms the only reason the world is facing a massive military and economic crisis right now is because Donald Trump completely ripped up the nuclear agreement with Iran. The entire war is built on his disastrous mistake.

@Krathor_ @ShehuSani The strongest side bombed a school on the first flat. That's not avoiding civis

@ShehuSani The strongest side is avoiding civilian casualties the weaker side don’t care not civilian casualties. Again the war has exposed a lot of y’all and truly y’all are not that smart

The Irony of this war;The ‘strongest’ side is begging,appealing and threatening others to come and join them and the ‘weakest’ side is not calling on anyone to join them.

If you were mad about Obama giving Iran $1.7 billion (of their own frozen money) to get a nuke deal... ...then surely you're pissed that Trump gave Iran $14 billion of your money while you are at war with them. Right, MAGA? You hypocrites.

If Joe Biden started a war with Iran, MAGA would have lost their minds. You know it and I know it. Don’t get pissed off at me for calling balls and strikes.

@Mr_Filsell @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour That's not the Arabian sea, it's Gibraltar

I had hoped, after the Mandelson debacle, that there’d be a day when @Keir_Starmer would stop lying to us. Every time he speaks, lies fall out! At this stage, he’s untenable as prime minister and he needs to step down before he totally destroys @UKLabour

@HarveyButtonNZ It's not there, it's in Gibraltar

Get out of there #starmer

@Ricochetrabbitt That's not the Arabian sea. The op is lying

Starmer lying to the UK public AGAIN

@DSEDunn It's Gibraltar

Everyone in the UK! THIS👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

That's Gibraltar

Fabulous story for the industry but the secret sauce no one is picking up on is that Ryan has an uncanny ability to identify GOOD scripts. Even his non blockbuster films are better than most everything released in a given year. It starts with the writing.

I'd like to revisit to Charlie Kirk phenomenon. Here's a guy who said, the Civil Rights Act of the 60's was a mistake that was turned into an anti-white weapon. He once said, "If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified." He went as far as to called Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson (a black woman) a 'diversity hire' saying she wasn't qualified to serve on the court despite her extraordinary judicial experience. He was a vile racist, who was embraced by this administration, millions adore him and he was given a National Day of Remembrance and flags were lowered to half staff. Yet, the same wasn't done for Civil Rights leader (Rev. Jessie Jacskon). I won't ask why or how Charlie Kirk was embraced this way. I already know. So when I say that everything in America is about race. This is what I mean.

Andy Weir wrote a novel nobody wanted, posted it on his blog for free, then sold it on Kindle for 99 cents. It sold 35,000 copies in a month. This weekend, the movie based on his third book opened at $141 million worldwide. Weir was a software engineer who started posting The Martian chapter by chapter on his website in 2009. Readers asked him to put it on Kindle. Within days of it hitting the bestseller list, he had a literary agent, a publishing deal, and Fox bought the film rights. The Martian cost $108 million to make and grossed $630 million. Drew Goddard wrote that screenplay. He wrote this one too. Project Hail Mary cost nearly double at $200 million. And the studio behind it isn’t Fox. It’s Amazon MGM, which exists because Amazon wrote an $8.45 billion check to buy MGM in 2021. Four years and several expensive flops later, this is the first time that bet has looked smart. Amazon MGM’s 2026 started ugly. A Melania documentary earned $16 million on a $40 million budget. Crime 101 managed $65 million worldwide against $90 million in production costs. Then Hail Mary opened to $80.5 million domestic, the second-largest non-franchise debut in a decade, behind only Oppenheimer’s $82.4 million. Here’s what makes Amazon’s math viable: 200 million people pay for Amazon Prime, mostly for shipping. Prime Video is included. Every movie they put in theaters is a marketing campaign for a streaming service their customers already have. Their distribution chief said it in 2024: if they cover marketing costs theatrically, the movie pays for itself again on streaming. Traditional studios need a film to gross 2.5x its budget. Amazon just needs to cover the ad spend. The film earned a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes and an “A” CinemaScore (an audience exit poll that predicts how long a movie keeps selling tickets). If it tracks anything like The Martian, which had a similar audience profile and word of mouth, it could push past $600 million globally. Same screenwriter adapting both books, for a studio that didn’t exist when the first one came out.

@altfor_schaefer @milehighami Moving like a rabbit on meth, so fast and quick twitch reactions... That is genetics

@milehighami Football- the meta for running backs for a few years now has literally been small guys that can move like a rabbit on meth , theres definitely short and average height receivers too, not to mention qb is mostly football iq

name 1 sport thats not a genetic lottery.

If ever Sky needs to cut to the fans, it was this goal Show us the player run off, sure... But then we need to see the fans

@mattjohnson333 Nah, I agree. Just an awful lot of our fans slag him off and the boos when we did a sub in the 65th min were because he stayed on.

@WritingTed Just honest opinion. He was the one player that got me worried. Partly because he looked lively and positive, plus we had a back up cm playing right back for the first time. Keeper looked decent for you tbf.

Once again, opposition fans are saying TC is our only real threat.

@BillOReilly The US didn't get involved because Hitler was evil. They got involved because he declared war on them. Dont try and claim anything other than that

Today, Iran has replaced Germany as a frightening threat, and, incredibly, Europe still looks away, apparently not absorbing the fact that at least 50 million human beings died because evil was ignored in 1936. billoreilly.com/b/Accepting-Ev…

Oh. So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature. Got it.

@kale_sushr90739 @altfor_schaefer @milehighami Yes, they have good genes. It's not hard to understand. The quality levels between the pros even a division apart is massive. They have a natural advantage. And give over, you rep footballers as your pic, you'd love to be a pro footballer

@WritingTed @altfor_schaefer @milehighami because I don't want to?? what is this nonsense? if a child trains since he is 5 and becomes an elite footballer, what has genetics got to do with it? you can be good while not be genetically gifted. by your logic every single footballer that makes it to the top has good genes?
