I like having taste in culture, and usually I feel good about my taste (huge exception for good art by bad people like several british comic writers and ALL OF ROCK ROLL), but I think finally liking an Aronofsky movie right before his AI adventure was a big miss for me.

Between 00/01 and 21/22*, the average MGL for the previous seasons' Cup winner was only 187

Then Colorado and Vegas both broke 400 in consecutive years and Florida is almost assured to do the same this year

*Excluding 05/06 (post-lockout), 12/13 and 20/21 (short seasons)

There is zero reason for a billionaire to own an adversarial news outlet in a kleptocracy. And so billionaires are gutting the media companies they own, reorienting them to better align with the regime, and spending money on bribes rather than journalists

Hendrix Lapierre: NOT the problem.
(How he is used is the problem)
(Which is not saying he'd be elite if he just got more ice – only that the critical problem is usage and its ripple effect)
