Just got home from Sighthound Hall. Skipped the halftime show.
The game and the ads have been underwhelming so far.
HumboldtBlue
KC needs to find its mojo. Overall, the entire spectacle has been one big meh.
Yutsano
Well at least the KC punters are on point for yardage.
However…there is a shit ton of football still to play.
Raoul Paste
Well, a Pfizer commercial should drive those MAGA, folks nuts,
Citizen Dave
mrmoshpotato
Bud Light, you are disgusting, but nice T Rex.
HumboldtBlue
@Raoul Paste:
I was thinking the same thing. Bud Light too, they’re gonna be steaming. They swear they have destroyed the Bud Light brand for all eternity.
Leto
@Raoul Paste: I really enjoyed that commercial.
Old School
I’d rather the CIA made this a less sloppy game.
Leto
Most annoying Super Bowl commercial by far: Temu ad.
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
@HumboldtBlue:
Apparently, Trump recently said that Anheuser-Busch should be given a second chance
Scout211
Are the Temu commercials geared toward pre-teens? There have been tons of them and they look and sound like they were produced by Disney. Very strange.
ETA: Leto agrees with me. Very annoying.
Jackie
@Old School: We can blame Biden!
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
@Leto:
“Shop like a billionaire!”
I hate that tag line! It appeals to that “I’m just a temporarily embarrassed millionaire” mentality
Yarrow
@Leto: I don’t even know what Temu is but they’ve shown that commercial at least three times. They must have money.
Jackie
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): Their CEO is hosting a fund raiser for him 😂
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
What does everyone think of the Super Bowl ads so far tonight?
mrmoshpotato
@Leto:
Has anyone here actually bought anything from Temu?
It sounds way too good to be true.
(And I hate their ads too.)
Scout211
@Scout211: The internet agrees with me.

The Chiefs are moving! (Please don’t let me jinx them!🤞🏻🤞🏻)
Jay C
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka):
just IMHO:
best: Pfizer
worst: RFK Jr. (SRSLY: WTF?)
OMG! 57 yards!
Yarrow
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): Mostly meh. The Ben Affleck Dunkin ad made me laugh. Reminded me of old school Super Bowl ads. I liked the Michael Cera CeraVe ad. The Pfizer ad was good. But a lot of forgettable stuff. Not Super Bowl commercial quality.
wjca
Helps if your QB can run effectively.
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
@Jackie:
I find that incredibly disturbing tbh
Yutsano
@Jackie: Well they got a field goal so this ain’t over by a long shot yet.
Also: GO CHEFS!!!
mrmoshpotato
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): Paramount+ with Patrick Stewart was hilarious.
Fuck Temu.
Fuck Arnold; he’s not Jake.
And, well, always to Hell with beastiality-promoting Liberty Mutual.
ETA – and Nestle could throw themselves into the Sun decades ago.
Old School
Which kicker will win MVP?
Leto
@Scout211: Yeah, they have a very “startup video game you play on your phone” vibe. Hyper color, hyper animation. Pay to win style thing. It’s annoying as fuck.
Jackie
@Yutsano: Great Googlimoogalie!
Steeplejack
Everything I’ve read about Temu screams: avoid like the plague. Chinese company that sells cheap goods at discount prices because they’ve “streamlined the supply chain.” Riiight. And apparently their app follows you around everywhere, mines your data and sells it all over. Do not want.
Ascap_scab
@mrmoshpotato: I bought a lot of stuff from Temu. And Wish and Shein. They are all good. It all comes directly from China.
Generally, well made stuff for little money. THIS IS NOT AMAZON! THERE IS NO TWO DAY SHIPPING. Expect 3 to 4 week delivery.
Clothing tends to run small, size up for a decent fit.
Yarrow
@Leto: The first time I heard of Temu was when I got a series of spam emails saying I had a Temu pallet delivery and I needed to click on the link to get it. Uh huh. I had no idea what Temu was and I certainly don’t click on unknown links.
mrmoshpotato
@Yarrow: LOL! Spam marketing!
Steeplejack
@Jay C:
The R.F.K. ad! I couldn’t believe that was a serious ad. I was expecting it to turn into a Lincoln Project thing.
Jackie
@Old School: Hey, Chiefs defense is awake now! Three and out for the Niners!
Soprano2
KC picked a bad day to have a shitty game.
Now let’s see if they can not fuck up the fumble recovery
Well, got it already, touchdown KC!!!
mrmoshpotato
Turnover!
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
SF fumbles!
Leto
Fumble recovery Chiefs! GREAT GOOGLIMOOGLIE! (Speaking of that saying, that commercial with Reid was a remake of the exact same commercial from like 10 years ago)
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
Touchdown for the Chiefs!
mrmoshpotato
KC touchdown! Asses will shake like holy moly!
Leto
TD TD TD!

Chefs lead! MAGAts heads explode!

Finally, the Chiefs get a touchdown.

Hit the foot of an SF guy, so they couldn’t just let it go.

@Leto:
I’m not sure what Temu is, who it is marketed to, or why anyone should care.
Jackie
GOOOO CHIEFS!!!
TD Chiefs!!! Whooohooo!
13-10 Chiefs!!!
Soprano2
That’s the team KC fans have been watching all year!!! And now the MAGA’s get more pissed because they showed Taylor!
Yutsano
@Old School: Well as Butker just broke the record set by Moody in the first half, probably he should get some recognition.
Also: KC IS AHEAD!!!
Another Scott
@Steeplejack: I’ve only seen their ads on the AlJazeera app on my phone. I always scroll by – I have no idea what they are. I have adblockers everywhere else.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cheers,

Betty Cracker
Exciting game!
Soprano2
@Brachiator: I think it’s how they sell stuff made with slave labor in China. The stuff is impossibility cheap.
Leto
@wjca: Poor dude. On top of the the Niner’s keep having injuries. That one guy who injured his Achilles running onto the field… ooof. I mean, it’s no Tim Crumblee but still absolutely sucks.
Yarrow
SF seems to be having a lot of injuries.
CaseyL
TEMU appears to be a kind of on-line shopping mall filled with Chinese vendors selling cheap plastic items. Exactly the sort of thing the world needs right now. Their ads are on every damn site I visit, and also appear as a banner on Google Search. Their investors-owners (whoever they might be) are spending advertising money in ginormous quantities. My guess is they’re trying to out-compete and replace Amazon.
Jackie
@Soprano2:
♥️♥️♥️ and 😂🤣😂
Leto
@Brachiator: @Soprano2: yeah, the wife says it’s stuff from China. I know Ascap_scab says they’re ok, but that’s a no from me dawg.
mrmoshpotato
@Soprano2:
That’s my thought too because how the hell can anything be that cheap?
Timill
@Leto: Tim Krumrie, says my memory…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Krumrie
wjca
And SF now has a third player injured. Hard for a team to overcome these, even with a strong bench. There’s a reason the starters are starters.
EDT and Leto got there first
Betty Cracker
@Brachiator: I see a shitload of Temu ads online, and they seem sketchy. Weird product photos that remind me of the bottom of the feed spammy ads that suck people into an endless ad loop.
Princess
@Soprano2: I took a peak at their page after reading about them here. It all looks like worthless junk
Another Scott
@Timill: I remember that game. Legs aren’t supposed to flop around like that.
:-/
The NFL seems to have a team who have the job of keeping that video clip off the web. It’s almost impossible to find in the normal places. (I looked for it a year or so ago because I wanted to check my recollection.)
Cheers,
Scott.
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
@Princess:
But you’re shopping like a billionaire! /s
mrmoshpotato
@Betty Cracker: You basically can’t escape their ads on YouTube either.
Leto
@Timill: I remember that game and the play so vividly, even though that was 34 years ago now. His leg did a fucking 180, then uncoiled. Core memory formed in that instant. I learned later that he stayed at the game, strapped to a gurney, refusing to go to the hospital until the game was over. JFC. Him and Theisman. Ooof.
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
@Jay C:
@Yarrow:
Definitely lots of forgettable, boring stuff. Pfizer ad was pretty and good and I agree the Dunkin ad was hilarious
@mrmoshpotato:
Loved the Paramount+ ad
Lyrebird
@Old School: Thanks, best line of my evening so far!
@Another Scott: according to CBS I think, link window crashed, “Temu is under congressional investigation for the use of forced labor in its supply chain and has been accused of spying on its customers.”
I don’t know if Ali Baba is any better, but I do know they have stuffed animals for 1/3 the price of stores around here, so I have purchased from them.

Taking delivery and then stiffing the seller?
Odie Hugh Manatee
Our son just informed me that “Taylor’s boyfriend has taken the lead.”

Manyakitty
@Jackie: PATHETIC. Utterly pathetic.
Brachiator
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka):
For a number of years, Super Bowl ads have been frantic, over-stuffed and over-produced. They are a part of the entertainment, I guess, but not really designed to really sell you anything. So you see some familiar faces, Arnold and Danny Devito, two stars from Cheers, Christopher Walken, Patrick Stewart. But I really didn’t know or care what was being pitched.
The ad for Dunkin Donuts with Ben Affleck and friends and family at least prominently displayed the company name and colors, but wasn’t very interesting.
The Coors Light commercial, featuring a huge, destructive train, was just an exercise in excessive production design.
The Beyonce ad would have been magnificent, and might have actually broken the Internet, had it also featured Taylor Swift. But something like that would have required some real imagination.
Betty Cracker
Wow, impressive hurdle over that photographer by Sneed!
Soprano2
Forgot to mention when I was out earlier I saw two restaurants that were closed that usually aren’t closed on Sunday. They closed because the Chiefs are in the Super Bowl. Probably thought they’d have no business.
Manyakitty
@mrmoshpotato: a friend works for USPS and he said he delivers temu packages all day long, so someone is ordering from them.
Leto
@Another Scott: They, the NFL, do. They’ve made YouTube take it down, so trying to find it elsewhere is really hard.
Bengals Super Bowl Memory: The Tim Krumrie Injury
edit: WTF WAS THAT TACKLING!?!?
cckids
@Soprano2: Temu also scrapes images from Etsy & all kinds of small maker sites across the web, copies the designs and undercuts the original artists.
Timill
@Another Scott: @Leto: I would cheerfully unsee that play if I could… but as you say it’s ingrained in our memory.
HumboldtBlue
Big score. Chiefs should have made that fourth down stop. That’s a huge miss! Three point game!
mrmoshpotato
@Betty Cracker: I’m sure that photographer was thinking “Thanks man!”
Leto
Blocked PAT, good.
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
@cckids:
Wow, that’s fucking scummy!
mrmoshpotato
@Manyakitty: My next door neighbor has ordered two or three times.
Betty Cracker
Holy moly, that missed extra point!
Tony G
@Old School: I’m glad to see that Kansas City is ahead at half time — only because if KC wins the Taylor-Swift-psy-ops experts will have an entertaining meltdown.
Jackie
DAMN IT! TD Niners AND MISSED PA! Chiefs specialty blocking PAs!!!
GOOO CHIEFS!

Missed extra point may matter.

@Manyakitty:
Many people are. It’s infuriating. People have an overwhelming addiction to Cheap Crap. “Slave labor? Hey, that means I can buy more of it!”
mrmoshpotato
@Betty: Yup.
Manyakitty
@mrmoshpotato: I’ve always thought it looked sketchy and after a few comments here, well 😬. Then again you and others ordered happily. It took me ages before I felt comfortable ordering from Amazon and now I practically do it in my sleep.

@HumboldtBlue: Is Van Jones saying stupid shit again?

Pacheco is a semi local kid. Grew up in Jersey, so our local Philly CBS station had features on him. Dude is angrier than usual, after his first half performance. Hope he can punch it in here.

@Lyrebird: Alibaba is huge. It’s Jack Ma’s baby.
I’ve been tempted to buy something there once (aliexpress, actually. I was looking at a copper fitting crimping tool for making water line repairs, but figured I was more likely to damage the 60+ year old pipes that way), but passed.
Cheers,

mrmoshpotato
@Leto: Wow! Yet not surprised.
Manyakitty
@CaseyL: I wonder if it’s the same crap we already find on Amazon and Wayfair and all the rest. I’ve been going out of my way to find the country of origin lately and I definitely think twice if it’s China. But then I worry about being ‘anti-China’, which I also don’t necessarily want to do, because a lot of Chinese products are good.
First world problem, I know, salted with a hearty dose of white liberal guilt.
Mike in NC
Don’t follow football at all. Years ago when we lived in a condo in Falls Church, VA I drove to the nearest 7-11 to get beer on Superbowl Sunday. The streets were absolutely deserted and the only other driver I spotted was a guy in a turban driving a taxi.
Manyakitty
@mrmoshpotato: okay. Did you ask if they liked it?
mrmoshpotato
Tie game! 🎶ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL 🎶
Go Chiefs, and chefs, and Michael Che!
Stupid Budweiser commercial.

Well crap, wish that would have been a TD. It’s been a close, sloppy game. That’s uncharacteristic for the Chiefs.

@HumboldtBlue: Oh man. Her technique is way off. Breathe through your nose in between swallows! I’mma gonna have to learn that girl.

mrmoshpotato
@Manyakitty: Haven’t seen the guy lately. I think we have different schedules.
MisterForkbeard
@Manyakitty: I have a friend who imported extensively from China for his business – his rule was either pay through the nose for good quality control (and he noted that you had to be constantly on the ball, because they liked to screw westerners) or you just accepted that 30% of your goods would be substandard and just factor it into your business model.
He did that for 5 or 6 years before he decided it wasn’t worth it and started buying from other reputable vendors. Maybe things have changed in the past 10 years, though.
Manyakitty
@mrmoshpotato: my mail carrier friend has developed a resentment towards them because of the packages. He’s approaching disgruntled 😁
bjacques
@HumboldtBlue: sadly, too slow to qualify as a Rice Beer-Bike chugger. But I admire her spirit.
mrmoshpotato
@Manyakitty: LOL! Because of the volume of packages?
CaseyL
@Manyakitty: Probably is the same stuff. If I see something I like, I click on the vendor to see if they have their own website; if so, I order directly from them. If not, I see if there’s anything similar offered elsewhere, anywhere but Amazon/Temu/Wayfair/Overstock/Etc.
Online companies broke local businesses first; now they’re going after one another. It’s enshittification the whole way down.
HumboldtBlue
@Yutsano:
Yeah, she showed she’s an amateur there.
Manyakitty
@MisterForkbeard: we experienced that with optical screws. It quickly became worth paying more, if for no other reason than the heads didn’t shear off the screws.
Ahh, the good old days.
Manyakitty
@mrmoshpotato: yes. 🤣
Jackie
@Soprano2: The hated Niners are there for a reason. This Seahawks fan hope the Chiefs prevail!
Steeplejack
Kevin Harlan and Kurt Warner are calling the game on Westwood One and SiriusXM. Warner (color and “analysis”) is fine. Harlan (play-by-play) is way too amped up and excited. He’s yelling on almost every play. Has been the whole half. Ugh.
Shalimar
@Leto: So it is annoying just like everything Temu does. They piss me off. i apparently agreed to be bombarded with push ads at some point but have never actually been to the Temu site. Their ads are always some variation of “the item you looked at is on sale.” I have never looked at an item there, and there is no reason to lie to me in their advertising. Just tell me it is something they think i would like. Honest, and more effective.
wjca

Matt McIrvin
We watched “The Marvels”. Thought it was amiably silly, lightweight as MCU flicks go and the plotting was a little messy, but not the disaster that its box office performance would have implied. But I guess people are no longer hungry enough for superheroes that thats sufficient.
Manyakitty
@CaseyL: exactly. That’s why I have resisted giving in to a Chewy account. I want the brick and mortar independent pet supply shop 10 minutes away to stay open–it’s a net benefit for the local economy.

Okay the Flashdance T-Mobile ad was fun.

Yutsano
@Jackie: 1:53 and two time outs is a lot of time left yet.
Jackie
CRAP! Niners FG GOOD 19-16 just under 2 mins.
GOOOO KC!!!
wjca
MLB instituted the pitch clock because games were too long. But this one (with, be it noted, only an hour of actual play) is now at over 3 1/2 hours. Can’t remember a baseball game going nearly that long, baring extra innings.
Even allowing for half time, that’s twice as much time of commercials as of football. Might as well watch the home shopping network.
Another Scott
@Yutsano: It should only take them about half an hour to play that 1:53.
They need to take lessons from the NBA – it seems like it can take an hour to play the last 10 seconds.
;-)
Cheers,

@Scout211: I hate T-Mobile and every other singing bastard ad.

@Yutsano: Yes it is! Come on Mahomes!!! Let’s go Chiefs!
Jackie
1st down Chiefs! Keep it going!!!
Sister Golden Bear
@Matt McIrvin: Same. Marvels was a fun popcorn movie that wasn’t nearly as bad as its box office would’ve suggested. Plus the actress from Ms. Marvel was adorkable.
Jackie
1st down Kelse!!! Plus 22 yds!!!
10 seconds…
Leto
@wjca: average NFL game is 3 hours, 12 mins. Average MLB game (2022) is 3 hours, 6 mins. We’re basically on par here. But you can still skidaddle to the HSN.

It wasn’t bad. Not great, but not bad. We’re going to watch it again here soon.

OMG OVERTIME! How big is that missed extra point.
Citizen Dave
@Steeplejack: Thanks for the laugh! I’ve noticed this year that every time Romo is doing a game, and I look at twitter, Romo is trending. People cannot stand him.
We’re so lucky, extra Romo!
Sister Golden Bear
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): The consensus was it was both superhero movie fatigue, plus fatigue about having to follow all of MCU’s various releases (across different mediums) to keep track of everything.
Matt McIrvin
@Sister Golden Bear: It had a bunch of things working against it– the cast couldn’t promote it because they were on strike, and two of the lead characters were from TV shows that most of the audience probably didn’t see (good shows, but still).
mrmoshpotato
Cubs win! Cubs win!Overtime! Overtime! Listen to the crowd!Jackie
@Betty: Absolutely! New game!
Leto
@wjca: which isn’t much better. Honestly next to golf, baseball is the best cure for insomnia. Perfectly good parking lot going to waste.
wjca
Does a new game mean a new thread? (I vote no, for what it’s worth)
CaseyL
OK, now that the players are all nicely warmed up…
BretH
Have there been any kickoff runbacks this game? Been a while since I saw football – is this injury prevention by the NFL?
Leto
@Citizen Dave: I wonder if that correlates to when CBS made Romo stop calling plays in advance? Early in his commentator career, he’d call the plays before they happened. Did that during a Pats playoff game when Brady threw to Gronk. I know that CBS punched him in the wrist for that, and his calling changed after that. Personally I don’t have a problem with him. I have more issues with Joe Buck but that’s just me.
Manyakitty
@mrmoshpotato: yes. My dad is an optometrist and I worked with him for like 20 years.
Indycat32
@Steeplejack: that’s normal for him. He does NBA games and everything is the most amazing, exciting play in the history of basketball.
Leto
@Matt McIrvin: Marvel/Disney is trying to tie those two together (tv/movie) and I guess most audiences aren’t having it. But it’s still interesting that the female lead movie had the biggest box office falloff. Just echo’ing what some of the incels have been yelling about the most.
mrmoshpotato
@Manyakitty: Damn. Ya really don’t want eyeglass screws breaking.
gwangung
@Matt McIrvin: I’d say that having Imani out there promoting it for a few weeks would have taken the edge off, because she’s just as charming in person as she is on film, and that would have been worth some at the box office.
Manyakitty
@mrmoshpotato: nope. My dad blamed Reagan and his deregulation. We could tell when it happened because that was a mostly unheard-of problem until it started to happen all the time.
Jackie
Niners forced to take FG 22-19.
LET’S GOOOO CHIEFS!!!
ETA I feel all alone rooting against the MAGATS right now.
Citizen Dave
@Leto: I read the other day that Romo’s magical play predicting was due in (large) part because he had so recently been playing, and he was some calling games of teams using the same offense he had run.
Romo talks a lot, and I certainly wouldn’t have backed the money truck to sign him long term like cbs did. Romo can get annoying. I also see the Joe Buck annoyance. I like Aikman though. He really worked and developed into a really good analyst.
Sister Golden Bear
@BretH: Both sides’ kickers are strong enough that they’re usually reaching the end zones — hence no run backs.
Sister Golden Bear
DEFENSE NINERS!
Old School
@BretH:
Yes. Kick-off spots moved up over the years as well as touchback spots. Both discourage returns.
Jackie
@Sister Golden Bear: OFFENSE CHIEFS!!!
1st down Mahomes!
Matt McIrvin
@Sister Golden Bear: Yeah, the MCU started with movies you didn’t have to do homework to understand, and for a while, people were following along well enough that they could spring some that were more dependent on the lore that those set up. But at this point the strategy of having everything cross-promoting and tied together is getting exhausting.
Leto
@Citizen Dave: Agreed on that. Yeah, Joe Buck… ugh. Aikman I like. I like Greg Olson as well. Doesn’t hurt that he’s a Panther’s Hall of Famer so yeah :P

@Sister Golden Bear: Avalune and I absolutely LOVE the Spiderverse animated movies. Incredible animation, awesome story, the music is just too damn good, and it’s a multiverse story done right. Not complicated to follow, but it’s mainly there to help drive the overall story. It’s not the central point, which is what the MCU is failing to understand.
Marcopolo

Mr. Rudbek and I went to his mother’s place to party with our nephew and the rest of the local family and watched the first half and the halftime show. He was impressed by the ad taking on Tesla and not impressed with the RFK Jr. Nobody was impressed with RFK jr.

@Marcopolo:
I remember the old days when the CIA would topple foreign regimes. Now they work for Taylor Swift and are reduced to fixing football games.
A relative in Texas noted that he saw people buying 49ers stuff before the game. Must be so confusing for the MAGA crowd to be supporting the woke Left Coast team.

@Brachiator: I knew the fix was in when the Chiefs hired Michael Weston as offensive coordinator.

@prostratedragon: last time back-to-back was done was 2003-2004 with the Pats. It’s a very hard thing to get there in the first place, and win, but back-to-back is just an order of magnitude harder. But as long as you have #15 with ya, it’s a lot easier to do.

@Leto: THOSE MEMES ARE GOLD!

@Leto: Damn, yeah, it’s impressive.
And Reid probably sealed a trip to Canton with this
@David 🌈 ☘The Establishment☘🌈 Koch:
Gold, platinum and diamond.

@David 🌈 ☘The Establishment☘🌈 Koch: lol. We’re rewatching Burn Notice right now. So much fun!

Tay Tay and Uncle Travvie smoochin’!
Jackie
@wjca: Exactly. And, publicly, they’ve only been dating approx 6 months. Now, MAYBE they’ll get some “private time” to enjoy each other and go from here.

The consolation, if you’re a MAGAt,** is that at least the coastal elites didn’t beat Middle America.
** Well, and able to look on the bright side of anything, ever. So, probably not.

HAHAHAHAHA! Cry more MAGATs!

What a game! I could have done without Mahomes’s all glory to god talk at the end but whatever.
Leto
@gwangung: he’s beloved in Philly, and the city will celebrate this too. I can see this sending him to Canton, but he still has so many years left. Trying to be in the moment, and appreciating the absolute greatness we’re witnessing here.
Leto
@xephyr: Here you go.
Matt McIrvin
@Leto: There was no way they were ever going to make Spider-Verse 3 on that schedule. They were driving the animators to the breaking point as it was.
I say, take five years to make it, it’s fine. Just get it right and don’t kill your staff.
Jackie
@Old School: LOL!
Yarrow
Mahomes is just so good. Fun to see Taylor and Travis. MAGA heads exploding is a bonus.
Jackie
Claire McCaskill will be celebrating BIG TIME on Morning Joe 😂 And, I’m there for it!
MAGAts, eat your hearts out!

@Old School:
This calls for a Congressional investigation. (For the record, that’s supposed to be a joke. We’ll see though.)
Leto
@Matt McIrvin: I thought they were working on it simultaneously, basically doing 2 and 3 at the same time to save resources. If not, then yeah, just take your time to get it right. But maybe late this year, early next year? :P

@David 🌈 ☘The Establishment☘🌈 Koch: I got that reference!

@mrmoshpotato: Literally every ad I’ve ever seen from Temu has left me with the firm conviction that it’s a scam and they will never deliver anything you order (or else it will break 5 minutes after it comes out of the box) and they will steal your identity in the process.

And can a call to impeach the head of the CIA be far behind? (Or perhaps, things being how they are, the impeachment calls will precede the investigation.)
Citizen Alan
@Matt McIrvin: I think it was a combination of things. The incels organized against it. It required viewers to have watched not one but two Disney+ series to understand what was going on. Also, I am not a fan of the MCU take on Carol Danvers as she seems to have nothing interesting about her beyond the “Hey look! Female superheroes are powerful too!” Which, btw, was the only reason the character was originally created (Marvel in the 70s wanted to ride the “feminism fad” so they introduced female versions of several characters–Ms Marvel and She-Hulk, most prominently). All the interesting stuff about Carol Danvers such as her power loss at the hands of Rogue and how she got over it and her brief struggle with alcoholism (Tony Stark eventually became her AA sponsor) all happened decades later and none of it made it into the movies or realistically could have because of how the MCU story arc had evolved by that point.

Taylor Swift: All your Superbowls are belong to me.
The image is worth the click through, even though it’s the hellsite.
xephyr
Thanks Leto, that helps. : )
wjca
Impressive art work. Yours?
Leto
@Sister Golden Bear: loooove it! YES!
Leto
@xephyr: Here’s an alternate version from the comments. Little bit more of a zing :)
laura
Hard fought game, well matched teams. KC earned that win. That Couple will probably enjoy themselves a good time. All’s right with the world, even though I wishes the 9’rs had won. However, the best commercial was the stylish abuelas; Dina and Mita! https://youtu.be/qQJyZseER6I?
Sister Golden Bear
@wjca: Not mine. Not sure who created it.
Leto
@laura: omg, that was funny! Had Jenny Ortega as a teaser, but it was the abuela’s who stole the show :)
Matt McIrvin
@Leto: That was widely assumed but apparently not, when #2 came out there’d been no work done on Spider-Verse 3 at all.
Paul in KY
@Timill: What a horrible day that was for Bengals fans! Even with that happening, we still almost beat a great SF team.
Paul in KY
Think SF was the better team, but just made too many errors: missed extra point, not running their great RB more. Settling for the FG in OT, etc. etc. Actually, if Ravens defense hadn’t imploded couple weeks ago, KC would never have made it.
I predict from now on, in any playoff OT situation, the cointoss winner will not go first.
Paul in KY
@Leto: I didn’t see the actual play (might have been raiding fridge). Glad I didn’t see it and would not have watched it as I took a very bad knee injury and that would have reminded me of it.
Paul in KY
@Leto: Tim is one of the greatest Bengals who’s ever played. Top 3 I would say.
