For an upcoming PCHH we're revisiting some of our old opinions on stuff we've discussed, to talk about what we've since come around on/now value less.

Thing is: I've scrolled through the archives, and I honestly can't come up with something I've changed my mind about ...
... besides FROZEN, sort of, and we've already talked about that.

So have it: What have I gotten wrong? What made you want to scream at me in the car/on the train/while walking the dogs?

(No, I'm not changing my mind about MARY POPPINS RETURNS, so that's off the table.)
(Maybe I will someday! When my blood sugar's so low I need to chug a liter or 6 of cinematic Mountain Dew! BUT NOT THIS DAY!)

Celebrating Tolkien's birthday by walking from DC to Denver to return some jewelry.
1 month in, 500 miles trudged. Awoke in hidden vale of Dollywood -- have slipped in and out of consciousness since that bad business at the Weathertop bar in Lynchburg.

Hot dude mops my brow. "Are you ... an elf-friend?" he asks.

"Oh gurl we don't call ourselves that anymore."
"What happened to you, darlin'?" he asks, in the Common Speech, though inflected with the soothing drawl of his people.

"I think someone spiked my drink," I say. "Back in Lynchburg. At Weathertop."

"Ah know that place," he says. "We call it Weathered Tops." Giggles.

There are three straight dudes tossin’ the ol’ pigskin around on the beach and one of them has a normal human body but the other two have 3 percent body fat gymnast V backs I call them sean and cody
Sean and Cody can’t throw for shit but the normal dude - let’s call him the least gay-porny name possible ... maybe ... Bob? ... fires the ball like it’s a cannon and catches their wobbly-ass tosses by like diving into the sand
Sean just called Cody “bro” and remarked on his abs (which ARE remarkable) and I know how this scene ends I’ve seen it many times oh poor Bob let Bob do craft services or whatever

At F’s father’s 80th birthday party. 32 Cubans are simultaneously screaming at each other about:
-the location of the beer
-a good place for maduros
-Abuela’s kidney stones
-the location of the cat
-the fact that the “0” atop the 80th birthday cake has fallen over in the heat
In my family these same conversations would take place in an elaborately coded system of meaningful stares, gentle throat-clearings and softly sighed observations about the front yard’s planting area.
To Scream Without Anger is a skill set I will never master, just as F is doomed to fail at his every halting, hilarious attempt at passive-aggression

I'm here at the Senate Judiciary Committee, where the committee is gearing up to vote to send Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Senate floor.
Democratic Sen. Blumenthal is speaking now. "The session yesterday was a job interview for a job like no other… and my belief is that this decision on how to vote, and I will vote no, is one of the most important decisions that I will make as a US senator"
Blumenthal, like Booker, is pointing out that Kavanaugh yesterday had said that four witnesses had denied Dr. Ford's account, where what they actually have said is that they do not remember / do not know.

He had always believed tomorrow should handle its own problems
Didn't Jesus say sufficient unto each day was the evil thereof?
But tomorrow has a way of sneaking in like a thief in the night
He studied as he ought to
Had a good result
Got a scholarship
Found himself abroad
He had laid his bed
Now he laid on it comfortably
He was one of the top three in his class
He was assured of a good job
He would most likely naturalize and become a citizen
His path to glory was paved by The Waymaker Himself
How could he not be cocky
Then he met her on the tube
She was definitely from his country
Most likely recently arrived
He wanted to talk to her
But she seemed tensed
He decided to observe her from afar
They got to a stop
A crowd exited
She was gone too
But one of her bags was on the seat
She had forgotten her bag
He took it

Now that we've all had a good night's sleep, I'd like to push back against the notion that Cohen/Manafort day marks The Beginning of the End. I hope it does, but let's keep the champagne corked for now, 1/
Let's start with Cohen: yes, he implicated Trump in a crime. But the prosecutors didn't. The statement that Cohen made illegal payments in coordination with and at the direction of Trump came from Cohen himself in court, not from prosecutors. 2/
To be sure, it's highly likely that Cohen is right. But we basically knew that already from Giuliani's idiotic media tour in May, when he confessed that Trump knew of the payments. thedailybeast.com/giuliani-trump…

Mega $SPOT thread incoming...
1/23) In the past year I've done a lot of work on $NFLX. My well documented conclusion was that Netflix is the structural winner in the global video market thanks to the inherent fixed costs nature of its business model, and will be highly profitable at scale
2/23) That raises the question: "what makes Netflix scalable?" The answer is multifaceted but a key ingredient in the scalability of Netflix (and video in general) is rooted in a special characteristic of the video business: the ability to differentiate

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."

Talk of "buying black" or "support black business" is really talk of black ECONOMIC re-segregation. Is that a good or bad thing?
Nowadays, when we support "black" business it's usually a black celebrity serving as a front for a corporate entity. Just ask Jay-Z.
Integration destroyed the black business class and turned us into a community of consumers. Boy, do we like to consume.
