I am literally embarrassed how pathetic we must look on the international stage with Burnham as our PM He's not even elected, there wasn't even a vote by anyone, at all, not even within the Labour party The man is a dictator and has no mandate. He's worse than Starmer, as at le…

I do not believe Burnham has a democratic mandate: he did not lead Labour into a general election, and members had no leadership ballot. Starmer at least faced voters as party leader. I regard this as a failure of democratic accountability. Other countries should refuse to deal with this government until voters have a say in who leads it. Tone rewrite only.

Asteroid City's puppet and digital effects

Source thread ↗

Why grounded?

Replies talked past one another rather than addressing each other's specific objections.

Grounded

Asteroid City's roadrunner was filmed as a puppet with digital cleanup. Replies dispute how practical effects should be defined and valued.

Sides

  • Physical craft: A physical puppet gives the roadrunner natural movement and the handcrafted feel that the filmmaker wanted.
  • Digital dependence: Removing puppeteers and rebuilding backgrounds still requires visual effects, exchanging one kind of digital work for another.
  • Budget tradeoff: Practical effects require choreography and production time that smaller films may struggle to afford.

NBA 2K27 shooting and defense after the patch

Source thread ↗

Why grounded?

Repeated dismissals turned practical feedback into a pile-on about other players' competence.

Grounded

NBA 2K27 received a patch that drew enthusiastic praise. Replies split over shooting consistency, defensive effectiveness and how much ratings should decide outcomes.

Sides

  • Shooting consistency: The patch makes shooting easier and more consistent, improving the experience of landing well-timed shots.
  • Defensive balance: The patch leaves defense too weak, with shot contests ineffective and stealing attempts often punished.
  • Contested chances: High defensive ratings should not automatically prevent baskets when attackers still have opportunities to score.

Matt Jeneroux jointly seconded Bill C-218 as a Conservative, then voted against it as a Liberal on October 7. The bill would have permanently excluded mental illness alone as grounds for assisted dying. Voting down a measure he helped advance is an unprincipled reversal.

Two Olivias and an early Grammy forecast

Source thread ↗

Why grounded?

Competing predictions repeatedly turned into dismissals of taste and accusations about hidden influence.

Grounded

Variety places Olivia Rodrigo and Olivia Dean ahead in its Grammy forecast. Replies dispute the picks ahead of voting and nomination announcements.

Sides

  • Rock appeal: Olivia Rodrigo’s rock-influenced album deserves Album of the Year ahead of Dean’s project on musical merit.
  • Classic grooves: Olivia Dean’s timeless grooves deserve Album of the Year even for listeners who also enjoy Rodrigo.
  • Wider field: Rosalía, Noah Kahan, Raye and Madonna deserve consideration beyond a race limited to the two Olivias.
  • Early predictions: Voting has not started, so an early forecast should not be treated as an awards outcome.

The Running Man's flop and Paramount's marketing cuts

Source thread ↗

Why grounded?

Repeated dismissals and personal jabs pushed more specific replies into a pile-on.

Grounded

Glen Powell links The Running Man's flop to Paramount's marketing layoffs during its merger. Replies argue over what held the film back.

Sides

  • Marketing disruption: Paramount's marketing layoffs during the merger undermined promotion just before The Running Man's release.
  • Film appeal: The remake fell short of Schwarzenegger's original; better marketing would not fix the film's weaknesses.

Drake's absence and Grammy relevance

Source thread ↗

Why grounded?

Repeated taunts and copied rebuttals turned the discussion into a circular fan argument.

Grounded

Drake reportedly withheld his recent releases from Grammy consideration. Replies debate what his absence means for the awards' relevance and musical credibility.

Sides

  • Award credibility: Drake's refusal to submit weakens the Grammys' credibility by excluding one of music's biggest artists.
  • Institutional independence: The Grammys remain relevant without Drake because their standing does not depend on one artist.
  • Artistic criteria: Grammy recognition rewards artistic quality rather than streams or sales, so Drake's popularity is not decisive.

Digger's opening and the limits of star power

Source thread ↗

Why grounded?

Dismissals and accusations kept pulling detailed replies into repetitive arguments about bias and motives.

Grounded

Tom Cruise's Digger opened with $8 million domestically and $20 million worldwide. Replies debate what the opening reveals about marketing and audience reception.

Sides

  • Marketing failure: Trailers failed to explain Digger's appeal or release date clearly enough to draw potential viewers.
  • Budget discipline: Original filmmaking deserves investment, but ambitious projects need spending limits rather than blank checks for filmmakers.
  • Audience reception: Opening-night audience surveys offer a better measure of reception than self-selected online praise for Cruise.
  • Artistic appeal: Digger's distinctive storytelling can find appreciative viewers and build word of mouth beyond its opening weekend.

Forgotten Island's budget and recovery prospects

Source thread ↗

Why grounded?

Dismissive replies and personal jabs pushed the discussion into competing blanket assertions.

Grounded

A post praises Forgotten Island's $80 million budget. Replies dispute what lower costs mean and how it could recover from weak ticket sales.

Sides

  • Budget discipline: Keeping Forgotten Island's production budget to $80 million shows better cost discipline than Disney's animated films.
  • Outsourcing costs: A cheaper outsourced production model does not establish that DreamWorks manages budgets better than Disney.
  • Recovery prospects: Streaming and remaining international releases could help Forgotten Island recover costs after its weak opening.
  • Streaming scepticism: Forgotten Island is unlikely to become a major streaming hit capable of changing its commercial fortunes.

Multnomah County workers in AFSCME 88 are protesting having to go into the office three days per week 90 days from now. Read the room. Fire all of these people. You're probably looking at underperforming workers taking advantage of the system anyway.

Digger's opening weekend and measures of success

Source thread ↗

Why grounded?

Derisive replies and competing corrections turned the conversation into a cycle of dismissals.

Grounded

A post calls Digger's opening a failure. Replies disagree on audience tastes, Oscar ambitions and which budget figures to use.

Sides

  • Audience expectations: Viewers want Tom Cruise's action films, rather than a comedy built around environmental messaging.
  • Award ambitions: Digger's purpose is to compete for Oscars, so opening-weekend sales are the wrong yardstick.
  • Budget dispute: The $160 million budget is disputed, so loss estimates need to distinguish reported costs from studio figures.
  • Film quality: Digger disappoints as a film, even for viewers who usually enjoy watching Tom Cruise.

Grammy Album of the Year: artistic merit or public appeal?

Source thread ↗

Why grounded?

Dismissive predictions and personal attacks obscured the competing criteria behind repeated expressions of preference.

Grounded

A Grammy prediction names Lux and albums by Olivia Rodrigo and Olivia Dean. Replies dispute whether artistic quality should outweigh wider public appeal.

Sides

  • Artistic merit: Ambitious, cohesive production makes Lux a deserving contender, regardless of how widely its tracks are recognized.
  • Public appeal: Albums with memorable tracks and broad public support deserve stronger consideration than music that audiences overlook.

These networks spent years presenting coverage that many viewers considered dishonest, then acted surprised when the White House withdrew access. That access was not an entitlement. It was a privilege they lost through their own conduct. Their objections are unpersuasive, and I would not be sorry to see audiences continue leaving them. No outlet is owed a White House platform after treating half the country with contempt. I have no sympathy for CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MS NOW, Politico or Fox News. Tone rewrite only.

More than 80 federal welfare programs create a fragmented system of separate applications, verification rules, agencies, and spending records.

The Emmys lost viewers again. Monday Night Football is only part of the story.

About 6.7 million people watched the 2026 ceremony, down nearly 10% after two years of growth—but still comfortably above the show's record low.

  1. The drop: The audience fell from about 7.4 million last year. That made this one of the least-watched Emmys, though not another all-time low.
  2. The collision: NBC moved the show to Monday to protect Sunday Night Football, then ran directly against Chiefs-Broncos without a football lead-in. That makes simple 'Hollywood collapse' explanations too neat.
  3. The longer problem: Football helps explain this night; it does not explain the ceiling. The Emmys have not topped 10 million viewers since 2018, as television fragments and audiences increasingly consume the moments as clips instead of a full broadcast.

A House committee voted for a 20-year Bitcoin hold. That is not the same as buying more.

The Financial Services Committee advanced H.R. 8957 by 28-21. The amended bill would centralize qualifying federal Bitcoin and make it much harder to sell.

  1. What moved: This was a committee vote, not passage into law. The bill still needs the full House, the Senate and the president.
  2. What it locks: Qualifying federal Bitcoin—including eligible forfeited coins—would move to Treasury custody and be held for at least 20 years. The bill also requires annual public reserve reporting and an independent audit.
  3. What it does not do: It does not authorize a taxpayer-funded Bitcoin shopping spree. It orders a study of lawful, budget-neutral ways to acquire more and expressly rules out new taxes, borrowing and deficit spending.

Earl Spencer made an explosive claim about Charles. The Palace answered with a rare public rebuke.

In a forthcoming memoir, Diana's brother recounts a bitter 1997 argument over William and Harry walking behind her coffin. Buckingham Palace disputes his memory of it.

  1. The allegation: Spencer says he opposed making William, 15, and Harry, 12, join the funeral procession. He alleges that Charles replied: "Rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough."
  2. The response: The Palace said it normally does not comment on books, then argued that fraternal grief can cloud reason, judgment and memory. It offered no alternative account of the call.
  3. Why this lands: The dispute is bigger than one alleged sentence. It reopens the decision to put two grieving boys into a global public ritual—and turns a 29-year-old family argument into a fight over whose memory counts.
