To put it in context, Steph Curry (6'2) is as tall as Cristiano Ronaldo and only an inch shorter than Julio Jones. He is in the 98th percentile for height among American men.

Seeing basketball in person really immediately proves otherwise, everyone on the court is both a literal giant and the fastest people you've ever seen

DR-Japan title game would be an absolute banger

I mean I think he's definitely the latter, but also clearly has pretty significant subconscious levels of antisemitism

In fairness the whole point of the scene is that he's not exactly in the most rational place at that moment

my favorite example of this as an Iowa football fan was going straight from watching Iowa/Wisconsin to watching LSU (the title year)/Alabama in 2019, it was like hitting a "2x speed" button.

also "A Friend of Dorothy" or "Two People Exchanging Saliva" if either of them wins Live Action Short
And we're also likely to hear him say "KPop Demon Hunters" multiple times

(his past antifascist credentials are probably not unrelated to why he's stuck in Casablanca and not still in Paris or back in the US!)

One under-appreciated part of this is that Rick used to be a revolutionary too, he smuggled weapons to Ethiopia and fought in Spain against Franco (as Renault points out). Laszlo *re*invigorated his will to fight against fascism rather than wallow in despairing cynicism.

FWIW Mexico could actually knock Italy out with enough runs too

They aren't but Italian-Americans are

In fairness, the divide here is "have fascist dictatorship in recent memory" vs. "didn't have fascist dictatorship in recent memory," so the proverbial Spongebobs and Patricks here had to learn the hard way.

Apparently Crosby failed the physical.

Thanks for correcting it! For the record, I support Biss but would also be perfectly fine (no pun intended) with Kat winning.

It's the stupid TrackAIPAC graphic that lumps donations from groups like J Street that are anti-occupation but not anti-Zionist with groups like AIPAC together.

AIPAC is spending huge amounts of money against Biss (and Kat), they're for fine! You're confusing J Street for AIPAC

"Martin-ez" is the one that annoys me every single time they do it.

Ukraine-like defending your smaller land from a big empire stories seem like they're a really good fit for high fantasy!

"Antisemitism is the socialism of fools" really is spot-on.

Pahlavi getting the Corina Machado treatment was *incredibly* predictable.

🇸🇲 San Marino: Senhit (feat. Boy George) to Eurovision 2026 - Eurovoix Senhit (feat. Boy George) will represent San Marino at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna with the song "Superstar".

He's hit "extremely short guest feature on San Marino's extremely mediocre Eurovision song" levels of washed eurovoix.com/2026/03/07/s...

He somehow managed to reverse-engineer the (antisemitic) intent behind the creation of the term "antisemitism"

He notably managed to lose re-election in a year where almost every worldwide incumbent got a massive COVID bump!

People don't like to admit "sometimes really shitty outcomes are the least bad outcome given the circumstances" even though that's an inevitable conclusion of literally every single ideology.

Entirely fair!
(For any CFB fans of a certain age, I've consistently found with same strategy that there was about 0.3-0.4 left when Jeff Smoker spiked the ball in 2001 Michigan-MSU, aka the Spartan Bob game)
