I am slightly creeped out.

So, what bands of our generation do you really dislike?

I'll add two, I really don't like Counting Crows, and that's largely on Adam Duritz whiny singing voice.

But most of all, I hate those guys of Wonderwàààl..

The song is cringy in any way, and no, they're not "up there with the Beatles". Just no.

I won't even start on the behaviour of the Gallagher brosky's. They should be locked up in an isolation cell together for a year.

What's your least favourite band of our generation that you really loathe?

‘Massey’s a loser’

Also talks about the pics of certain people included in the release of the files and insinuates that they’re the main reason why people are angry (nvm that some of those pics were planted there)

Someone call Prestonwood Baptist Church and ask them for baby formula

so i (21 F) never met my dad since i was born and last month he reached out to me the first time over instagram. i feel like he has been very pushy to meet up and i told him i’m not trying to rush things. tonight he was asking me questions to get to know me & this was one of the questions.. i never really grew up with a close male figure in my life but isn’t this question weird? i didn’t even answer the question when he asked i just skipped over it. it’s not his or anyone’s business about my first kiss and it’s weird to ask anyway to me.

During his illustrious career, he achieved numerous incredible feats, including four titles, three Finals MVP awards, one league MVP award, and more. That being said, O'Neal recorded his best run with the Los Angeles Lakers, forming one of the greatest tandems in NBA history with Kobe Bryant.

Still, O'Neal never felt he rightfully belonged to the GOAT conversation, something many find a little hard to believe. Touching down on the subject in the latest episode of the "Big Podcast with Shaq", the Diesel had one of the greatest NBA scorers, Carmelo Anthony, as his guest.

"I'm not in the GOAT conversation. Listen, it's only three people in the greatest of all time conversation. Listen, I'm arrogant, but I'm not dumb. It's Kobe, Bron, and Mike, okay, that's it. We all have our subcategories… Like, I always wanted to be Lion King. But to me, like I had to modify what I was saying," stated Shaq, who never understood why Kobe wasn't in the mix.

"But my thing is, if you're going to have the conversation, have the correct conversation. For so long, it was just Mike and Bron.And now I'm like,'Oh, I understand the great picks. What about the Kobster?'" added the seven-footer, making a case for his former Lakers teammate.

Although Shaq has on multiple occasions in the past crowned Michael Jordan as the ultimate GOAT, he did propose a new framework for the debate.

Shaq's only prerequisite

Unlike many other NBA veterans, O'Neal did not mind revisiting the greatest of all time conversation now and then, but had only one simple rule.

"I think they should always keep it categorical… the best center, the best forward, the best guard, the best shooting guard.. Can't compare a big man to a guard. Can't do it," said Shaq.

Interestingly, O'Neal felt the big guys, who formed a small fraction, were always at a disadvantage. His reasoning behind it was that fans always liked the guards and the little guy more, as it was comparatively easier to relate to them.

Jim Beam, America’s largest bourbon distiller, is closing its flagship operation for 2026 after more than two decades of rapid growth for the industry. Thanks to tariffs another American company bites the dust.

Someone on BlueSky noticed that they could select redacted text - eg the original text was still available just obscured, from US vs. Virgin Islands, Case No.: ST-20-CV-14/2022.03.17-1%20Exhibit%201.pdf).

With a python script, we can ingest the whole document and extract all text, then rebuild it in the same layout (roughly) for legal minds to consider. It can be accessed here. To my knowledge the vast majority of the redacted portions of this document are now accessible.

The legal reference point here is recently heavily redacted files recently released by the Justice Department which involve the late Jeffery Epstein.
