It imported millions of people who think 9/11 was good. That’s how.

How the hell does the city that faced the biggest Islamic terrorist attack in history vote for a Muslim mayor?

@BrianFisherLORW JBD over ASP? This lineup is horrendous and another situation of letting production walk out the door with no plan for replacement.
English
Larkin is traded for futures. Is this what the starting lineup looks like to you?
Looks like 8th place in this difficult division.
But some fun things to watch would be Kasper & other young players development, and how DeBrincat and Raymond perform together.

@BrianFisherLORW Since when does Rasmussen deserve a third line spot??

“International law” is a psyop invented by weak and naive men in the 1920s and should be rejected at every opportunity

Someone explain to me why the ROI of private K-12 school is so high that it justifies taking up 35-40% of your post-tax income. Especially if your public schools are fine (which, if you are paying a 5K mortgage, they probably are.)

So you think earning $408,000 a year is a lot of money? After working 50+ hours a week, being stressed out of your mind, and barely seeing your kids, it might not be the dream income you imagined. Look how quickly the money goes. $1/month left over. What would you cut?

@JordanSchachtel @clarksoncase Is this a statement that the richest man in the world is not consumed by politics?

@clarksoncase They're bitter and consumed by politics

Palantir is an exceptional American company. Benjamin Netanyahu is a great statesman of our time. Data centers are the heart of American technological infrastructure. Flock cameras are essential to city policing. Covid was a scam turned global hysteria, not a lab leak. Elon Musk is the most important innovator alive. Nuclear is the only path to abundant clean energy. School choice is the civil rights issue of our time. America first is not isolationism. AI will serve as a net benefit for human flourishing.
I'll take my seat now.

@2waytvapp @MarkHalperin Isn’t this basically a description of how Trump acts in private?

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the last investigative piece you’ll see about this guy’s background, I assure you,” says @MarkHalperin about a negative Washington Post story about progressive Maine Democrat Troy Jackson which “had been pitched around to other news organizations. I’m not saying the post shouldn’t have run it, but they say he has a horrible temper. Threw a water bottle in a meeting. A lot of legislators felt he was intimidating and used anger as kind of a tool, including against a lot of his female colleagues.” @TroyJackson207 @LarryOConnor @KevinPWalling @2waytvapp

@arittxr @JimCosta_ Detroit can’t pay what the big markets can. And based on historical data, he wouldn’t be worth the price tag 3-4 years from now.
English
@JimCosta_ You’re such a fucking loser. This team is within striking distance of their third straight postseason appearance and you want to trade the best home-grown talent they’ve produced in years instead of holding the billionaire owner accountable for refusing to pay him his worth
English
After last night you hope the Tigers see the writing on the wall
Bottom 10 offense shutout for 8 innings. They've spent 78 days under .500 and counting
(Currently 7 under)
It's a sellers market and they've got the top trade chip
Should be more than willing and able

@jimtreacyjr @JimCosta_ He’s an UFA… he’s gone. 0% chance a Boras client signs long term to Detroit on open market of Skubal quality.
English
@JimCosta_ You trade Skubal and you're declaring another rebuild. You keep Skubal you have to commit to building a team around him. You have a HOF ace, you should bring in pieces to make a run at a ring.
English
@tmatthewshockey Copp and Arvidsson should be “high-end” bottom 6 guys supporting the top 6 in a playoff team. Finnie not ready and would be worst top line center in NHL. Ras is no good. Outside of Cat and Raymond I just don’t know where any production comes from…
English
Worst-case Larkin-less bridge:
1) DeBrincat-Finnie-Raymond
2) Arvidsson-Copp-Brandsegg-Nygard
3) Mazur-Kasper-Kolesar
4) Rasmussen-Compher-Appleton
Not a Cup lineup, but not a grave like the superficial fans want to think.

@FowlesMurphy @bendreyfuss Did you do all this hand wringing over the black cast of Hamilton too?
English
@bendreyfuss Denzel Washington is a great actor. It would be a win to have him play the Little Mermaid.
English
Sure i’ll explain it
Nypng’o is an Oscar winner who was great in her small role. It is a win to have such a good actress in such a small role.
Page is an Oscar nominee who was great in his small role. It is a win to have such a good actor in such a small role.

In all this endless discourse, has anybody yet come up with a theory of how Nolan's diversity casting choices _improved_ the movie? All I'm hearing so far are things like: - But film was good anyway. - Only on screen 5 minutes. - Why are you asking? Are you racist? - I hate you.
English
@ianmSC @EWErickson @rkylesmith It’s art, not politics. We would never have anything in the arts if people weren’t given artistic license. This labeling it as “politics” in everything is tiring.
English
There’s obviously a lot of truth to this, but I think the difference is that one side is demanding politics be injected into every area of life, and the other is begging for it to be left out. The Odyssey is an example, because people are upset Nolan put his own modern ideology into a historic story. The left is upset if that ideology isn’t injected into every story. Which in many cases, ruins it. And that “drains the joy” out of seeing movies, when you know you’re going to roll your eyes at the director’s biases.
English
The succubus right is exhausting, sucking all the joy out of life. Don't go see Nolan, "it's woke." Don't watch sports. "It's woke." Don't do this. Don't shop there. It's like the Left — draining the joy from life in the name of some weird purity.

“I’m sure following Trump’s address, we will talk for days and days and days about the legitimacy of bias and interference in our election and voter fraud and all these other things,” says @DrewHolden360. “But I think the bigger picture here that gets lost in the political fighting is that the American people have a deep distrust in the integrity of their elections, and we can’t allow that to persist.” @MarkHalperin @2waytvapp

“We’re not trying to change the outcome” of elections, Markwayne Mullin claims

@confusion_reign @UMFanJosh Sure but big IF. Currently need to win 2/3 of remaining games just to hit wild card spot if you need 89 wins historically…
English
@Megrezzi @UMFanJosh If the Tigers get in the playoffs they will be competing for a WS. Thats how it works. The teams in the playoffs are eligible to win the WS. The main piece back would be like Zyhir Hope or Luis Lara. Those guys are good but will not transform them within a year.

“If the Tigers don’t punt the season for the Dodgers’ 4th best prospect it’s the most irresponsible decision by a franchise in recent memory”
Everyone’s brain is totally broken beyond repair.
Natalie Sparbeck@NatSparbeck
Also, if the Tigers indeed don’t deal Skubal regardless of their postseason aspirations, that would be one of the most irresponsible decisions of any Detroit sports team in recent memory. #DNMW

@GValeno Yeah idc I go to the movies to see a movie it’s not that deep
English
There’s never been a bigger signal to me that 90% of Twitter is fake than the made up culture war against the Odyssey. If you’re normal and go see the movie you have ZERO idea there’s some uproar about the casting. Everyone on this app is fake and/or insane now.
English
@UMFanJosh @confusion_reign Meaning MLB-ready talent to be up now or next year. The line of thinking we’re competing for a WS this year is unrealistic as constructed. Tigers need position players.
English
@Megrezzi @confusion_reign We won’t get MLB players for him. The only teams interested are buying and have zero interest in giving up an MLB guy for a pitcher on an expiring contract
English
@confusion_reign @UMFanJosh tbf, the Tigers as constructed aren’t competing either… they’re a worse roster than last year. The writing on the wall is he is gone being a Boras client and he’s doing PR to not be a villain on the way out. Getting 1-2 MLB position players improves the roster. We have pitching
English
@UMFanJosh Right, it’s not comparable. For one; the Angels weren’t close to competing. Also, Shohei is the greatest player of all time, lol
English
Honestly don’t think Yzerman did a bad job considering what he had to work with. Terrible draft luck that he made the best of. Made some bad trades, but it’s not his fault this team collapsed 3 years in a row in March, that’s on the players.

ok i promise last Yzerplan post
Holland obviously left Yzerman with a burning wreckage, but everyone knew that. it was priced in. Yzerman was finishing 3rd in leaguewide fan front office polls before any of his picks had even played.
I don't think any GM has ever had more buy-in, fan support, and faith than Yzerman got in the past 7 years in part because of how bad Holland was at the end and how little he was left with
Retired and Cute@donotconsidery1
Ken Holland is more responsible for killing the Yzerplan than Steve Yzerman is. ...But casual Detroit sports fans aren't ready for that take yet
