A bunch of Farmers and working class peeps would LOVE to see me and my peers lose their jobs.

On the other hand, I don't want them to lose their farms or jobs.

This isn't a zero sum game, I want their success even if they don't want mine.

Now shitbags at RW think tanks who want this, fuck em.

Well that was a lucky AF win...

Two phantom shit calls and A LOT of stupid mistakes.

They should not have won but they did and I'll take it

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 9h

Fucking ass... These last two drives are on the Bears.

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 9h

I don't like when the Bears lose but I can be OK with it - as long as the refs don't fuck them over like they've done twice this game with phantom penalities.

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 10h

Another fucking phantom flag on the Bears to snatch a TD away this time. What the fuck?

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 10h

Yup Dawn of the Dead is his best movie

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 10h

Dead center on that upright.

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 10h

Sorry can't hear that over.... BONK!

Just in case you needed to hear it again

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 10h

Hahahahaha BONK!

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 10h

I want to say I would but idk. His fucking Netflix zombie movie was just ass... Letting him do things without controls results in very shitty outcomes.

He's got two good movies and two almost good movie in his whole career.

Good

Dawn of the dead
300

Almost good

Watchmen
Man of Steel

That's fine but let's get there in a different way that's satisfying but does Peacemaker's season justice.

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 10h

Agreed the only exception is the season finale of Peacemaker.

I want closure and shit not be sold on future projects.

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 10h

Phantom penalities on 3rd and long like you the Chiefs

The whole DCEU summarized in this post...

What a waste of great actors for Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman.

And maybe... Just maybe Joker. I think there was something there.

But the DCEU was a straight mess.

The 2016 Suicide Squad, have any of you gone back and watched that one. Its editing is painful and borderline disorienting.

Sophia_Nyx 🏳️‍⚧️ @sophianyx.bsky.social · 18h

Name a FIlm that needed an Editor.

That last Commanders drive was straight bullshit

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 14h

I keep talking about incentives, and this Administration knows that they are tanking the jobs.

There's a reason why ICE is still heavily incentivized... To encourage people who would normally never consider this shit to start working there and look the other way.

I mean, I can't make it any clearer.

It's a good car that I'm not wasting my time (or money) on. But someone can flip it

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 17h

Haha Facebook Marketplace never change... I can't better detail the issues with the car than this and the VERY first person says this shit

I may be wasting my morning - fall break and all - finding Chase Funko pops at a local bookstore and placing them in easy to spot locations for anyone looking.

It's nice to unplug btw.

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 22h

I'm always gonna try hard not to piss off @dieworkwear.bsky.social.

He's one of the few that I believe would be able to shut me down.

But also this is glorious shit

UPS had seven months of warning about the de minimis change, but is still taking packages w/o getting required customs info & is making tariff charge errors.
Nice use of passive voice though!

i apologize using a passive voice. i was not born in london to a wealthy bank executive, sent to an exclusive private prep school in new hampshire, and then studied at harvard before larping as a champion of the people. you have to work with my low upbringing.

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 23h

I look forward to reading this and thinking about it in tandem with this paper from @upjohninstitute.bsky.social

research.upjohn.org/up_workingpa...

Where you start REALLY matters on avg and that's partly why I have no time for terrible ROI work that takes into consideration none of these factors

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 23h

So Illinois loses to Ohio State and Indiana and is out of the top 25?

What kind of fucking bullshit is that?

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 1d

Don't need to when people like Shad Khan will donate hundreds of millions without the forced outcome.

Daniel A Collier, PhD @dcollier74.bsky.social · 1d

I mean technically they became one dog-ish....
