Both are correct.

But if you need the official reasons: Iran is the world's #1 sponsor of terrorism and their people are revolting against their government and being murdered in the thousands.

Apparently, this is all real.

In 5 minutes my X feed had nothing about Iran and now every account is reporting various countries telling their citizens to evacuate.

US telling staff in Israel if they want to leave before a strike on Iran, today's the day to leave.

I was never a huge fan of their food. They won't be a big loss. To be honest, I cannot think of a national chain whose wings are worth saving. Hooters had the best spicy garlic sauce, but they got rid of it when they recently simplified their menu. Locally, Mr. Beefy's was the shit for wings and suc...

There is nothing racist in that clip whatsoever.

Plus, that word has completely lost all meaning.

Easy to spot for now. I think the only shake up will be scouts being needed again.

Warning: If you watch this, you'll never be able to unhear it. (It's not dirty.)

I didn't realize they had been purchased by PE.

PE is a death sentence for most businesses, particularly restaurants.

And now it's down to 49k.

I know, we did this exact back and forth on this joke the other day.

Don't underestimate backdoor negotiating going on either. Hollywood was very against Netflix winning. So much so that it put them in alignment with Trump who also didn't want Netflix to win. I wonder if Netflix was talked out of their bid by Hollywood/government? And by that, I mean, given promises ...

The Dow hit 50K. Nothing else matters. Seriously though, is that just a measure of prices increasing or decreasing? If so, I fully understand the concept of "this price is what it is because of the cost of business and demand, yada yada yada", but that's such bullshit. The Wall St driving ...

It's not a bad theory. It'll be lent more credibility if Netflix doesn't counter. Netflix could definitely use WB and those properties, but they don't "need" it. Thinking about DC being included reminded me that Netflix bought the rights to Mark Millar's universe years ago, and they never ...

It's almost like it's impossible for everyone to love or hate something.

I ended up not watching the new episodes yet. I'll review when I do. Probably this weekend.

Side note: I think it always added to my love of the show knowing that JD and Turk are best friends in real life.

Yep. If I'm a free agent, I want to know what I'm getting myself into before signing with a team. If their medical staff sucks, that matters. (Steelers got an A there.)

Papa Johns is closing 300 stores.

Here's a tip: Make better pizza. Your pizza is one step above flavored cardboard, and somehow drier.

Steelers are dead last in the latest player survey.

Shocking that all the cheap owners who don't invest in their facilities complained about this survey.
