    Post Malone/Jellyroll concert at Jack Trice

    Sure, but it's not intentional so no need for excessive butthurt.

    Post Malone/Jellyroll concert at Jack Trice

    I guarantee that's a stupid accident by a bunch of people who had no clue that was a UofI shirt. No way he wanted to piss off the crowd he was performing in front of.

    I don't like either one.

    ••• 2026 Official Chicago Cubs Thread •••

    I know someone who's son works in the Brewers organization. He was telling me that everyone is just assuming a lockout next year at this point. He's nervous for his son because he doesn't want him to lose his job.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I wonder how much business the service centers would see. What would routine maintenance look like for a Tesla or EV in general? Rotate and check tread depth on tires? Check the brake pads?

    Worst Steven Spielberg movie

    I haven't read the book, but from what I've heard they changed it quite a bit, especially when it comes to the cultural references. From what I've heard described to me it sounded like the book referenced a lot more underground nerdy stuff from the 80s like specific D&D campaigns where the movie...

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    My observation as someone who hasn't watched a bunch of soccer but watched quite a bit of the world cup (for me anyways) is that the flopping issue is overblown in most matches, but a few teams or matchups where one side wants to just ugly the game up and slow it down it can get really bad. If...

    Worst Steven Spielberg movie

    Couldn't disagree more. All the hallmarks of good movie making are there beyond the groundbreaking technology. Great dialogue, characters, pacing, tension, action. Iconic score by John Williams. I still watch it when I see it is on and think it holds up very well.

    Worst Steven Spielberg movie

    I would agree with some of the later Jurassic movies but the first one is a great film.

    Worst Steven Spielberg movie

    The movie is entertaining enough if you don't mind nostalgia porn.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Maybe they aren't making a ton off of oil changes, but it's pretty well accepted that profit margins off new car sales aren't that great and dealerships make most their money selling service, warranties, and financing. Used car sales may be a bit different. This recent article from motor trend...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I guess this explains last time I had an issue with my vehicle that made it practically undrivable I called the dealership I had bought the vehicle at and they said it would be six weeks. I just laughed at the guy and figured they obviously didn't want my business. When I bought the vehicle I...

    Worst Steven Spielberg movie

    1941 seems to get panned a lot, but when I was a kid I thought it was hilarious.

    The Odyssey trailer 2 (full trailer)

    Only listing out a week for showtimes after release is typical. I'm sure it will be in IMAX for several weeks at least, and probably longer. It doesn't look like there are any big blockbusters that will push it out of IMAX any time soon. Edit: I forgot about Spiderman, but according to this...
