This was a bit premature.

eh we werent beefing rlly

what did gilbert gottfried do?

got between tam tam and jon chi

made jokes about japan earthquake/crisis on twitter, hence creating debate about when/how humorists or comedians should react to large scale tragedies. which of course seems to have quickly gone off the rails into the land of personal attacks

WDGGD?

I like how your screen name reads like the answer

enraged naive board buffoons

some people thinks jokes about disasters are funny
other people think jokes about disasters are not funny

ALL OF THEM ARE TERRIBLE MONSTARS

x-post - Just to clarify - GG did not do me.

Daily Express?

rap music is sometimes homophobic. also big l.

so what happened in the end with I Love Metal? it's getting shut down?

yes

deleted by popular demand and all metal threads have to be posted on ILM only

"all music threads to be posted on ilm, more at 11"

unless you think metal isnt music ;)

well anyone who thinks that can fuck right off; there's some common ground for you and i

haha

we can bond now!

clusterfuck on wtf is this i love metal nonsense

Wait where is that thread? That’s actually useful info for me because I completely didn’t think about this until recently (even though I moved in March) and PayChex sucks at providing clear info on what I need to do.

Lol never mind I found the thread and it’s not personally helpful to me at all

posts that effortless summarise ilx tbf

also summarizing ilx: i have no idea why there is a 300+ post clusterfuck that's apparently about tax law in I Love Baseball

if you don't follow baseball I'll sum it up, there is a dude from Japan who is a baseball freak of nature, who is doing things that either have never been done or haven't been done in 100 years, and he just signed a $700 million/10 year contract with the Dodgers and we're just now finding out that he's actually deferring $680 million of that until after his contract is done and I think everyone is mostly stunned that there are no rules preventing this sort of thing from taking place

He also has torn his UCL twice which is probably the most critical ligament in a pitcher's body. Earlier this year I looked up statistics of the 6 pitchers in MLB history who have had TJ surgery twice and only one performed above replacement level after the second surgery.

I know he has a wonky ankle which prevents him from playing a position (he only played 61 games in his last season in Japan) but I have a suspicion that a lot of his other injuries were masking larger ones related to his UCL (blisters/oblique/cramping).

He'll also turn 30 a few months into next season which is an age correlated to a decline in performance:

Earlier this year I looked up statistics of the 6 pitchers in MLB history who have had TJ surgery twice and only one performed above replacement level after the second surgery.

nbd and maybe we can bring this back to ILB, but who was the one pitcher, and by "performed above replacement level" do you mean their entire career after the second TJ, or a single season of above-replacement? (asking because degrom comes to mind, ryu, eovaldi, others)

I can't be arsed with that thread lol.

DeGrom has not pitched since his 2nd TJ (June 2023) and is timetabled to potentially return August 2024. STEAMER projects Jake for 0.0 WAR if/when he returns in 2024.

Ryu only pitched about 1/3 of the 2023 season since he returned from his 2nd TJ, he put up a 0.4 fWAR/bWAR going 3W-3L in 11 GS, 3.46 ERA, overall velo down about 3-4% from prior seasons, and his K/BB was his worst in 7 seasons. STEAMER projects him at 1.8 fWAR for 2024 (8W-9L in 26 GS, 4.35 ERA).

Eovaldi was the one pitcher who I noted performed well above replacement level for having 2 TJs (1.58 bWAR avg since return).

Some of the other notables were Jameson Taillon (1.2 bWAR avg since return), Daniel Hudson (0.5 bWAR avg since return), Joakam Soria (0.4 bWAR avg since return), & Chris Capuano (0.3 bWAR avg since return). After that it's a sad day at the glue factory.

pipecock doesn't quite do it justice really

I saw a lot of people pointing out that Eovaldi had some velo dips late in the season before he missed a month (?) due to injury, so it’s not impossible he fails to maintain his performance down the line.

Taillon had a horrific first half and then picked up a lot in the second half.

DeGrom idk he’s so talented but he’s so crocked, you could flip a coin and tell me he wins the Cy in his next season or he never pitches again & I’d believe you either way.

I'm not down w/engaging w/CocoRosie content in 2024 especially but a quick summary might help.

it is so fun. apparently their ancestors were scandalous!

this oughta sum it up...

We're trying to make ilx the number internet resource for CocoRosie financial disclosures

number one

a new borad has spawned to document this vital work

It's about ethics in Coco journalism

Gonna give it a listen!

Intriguing new user BigHouses keeps posting about how we have no choice but to engage with CocoRosie since they are still making music after all their years despite a problematic multigenerational entanglement with Iowa history.

They could get a season of True Detective out of it

it's a great revive and a great thread

it's like Missing Richard Simmons about CocoRosie apart from they aren't missing and it's not a podcast and the presenter doesn't seem to like them, so not really that much like Missing Richard Simmons.

I mean, I guess when people say that Cocorosie thread is a "great thread" and BigHouses is a worthwhile new poster, it explains a whole fuckin' lot why I feel further and further away from the heart of this board.

Cocorosie are due for a takedown. They are at the height of their power and influence.

When you're too numbed out to feel true pleasure anymore, letting a maniac rant about their particular obsession for a little while can at least be momentarily diverting, especially if you don't share their obsession. This can even be mistaken for "fun," depending on your personal degree of internet anhedonia.

lmao, is this a bit?

if it is then I hope it isn't taken too far, then we would need yet another board.

I was getting some k1w1f4rms concern trolling vibes but they seem like a possibly less harmful rando on a mission. Following the whole Tegan & Sara stalker thing, which yes, I only read about and have not yet watched the documentary, internet weirdos stalking musicians and creating their own fan (or enemy) fic seems less quirky and more unhealthy

the repetitive nature and posts that almost seem chatbot-crafted off of a limited set of data makes me go hmm

look out, this is the busiest board on ILX rn

Half a bit, probably. I get the novelty of the trainwreck of someone swinging in to post such a weird defense of a truly unlikeable artists. But when that becomes the most action the music side of the board has had in months, well, it doesn't say much good about the overall health of ilm.

I mean, have fun, just kind of sad that this person is provoking so much interest while so many other, better, more thoughtful and worthwhile threads get bumped like twice a week over on ilm.

Wait who made a new board for this?

lol u haven't noticed?

They didn't swing in to post a defense though. Rather they provided an extensively detailed critique based on financial records and hereditary lameness.

Eh, I don't have much to say about a lot of the other threads on ILM. I haven't really engaged with the CocoRosie ILM thread, but the new CocoRosie board has been a fun distraction today because it feels like an older, sillier era of ILX.

Big House isn’t authorized to make a new board xp

It doesn’t show up for me.

It was showing up for me but I don't see it anymore.

https://www.ilxor.com/ILX/NewAnswersControllerServlet?boardid=1083961620

Obviously I say this mostly as a lurker with less of a stake in the daily health of the board, but the appearance of a guy with a Homeland / Pepe Silvia-level corkboard tracing the financial genealogy of this act, of all acts, has a lot of the qualities of a perfect bit even when it's not actually a bit

(Although I kinda think the spin-off board should be more general, like a forum-based judge show where you can present evidence against any unlikely act you want. Trace someone from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah back to the Stump Massacre, make bold accusations about what Konono No. 1 were up to during the Second Congo War, knock yourself out)

i think its deeply irresponsible of you to raise these questions without conclusive proof tbh

Nice to wake up to find a new board added that by default I'm subscribed to, littered with utter bollocks. WTF you lot.

make bold accusations about what Konono No. 1 were up to during the Second Congo War

Hey! Nabisco

summer of 43, the man's gunnin for me

I love that I get to type this in 2024: nabisco otm

In a way, these are champagne problems for an online community. Honestly amazed this board for has seen off Friendster, MySpace, Foursquare, original Twitter . . .

p.s. Hi nabisco!

If mods are going to go to the effort of making a new cocorosie board can we change the name of I Love AFL to I Will Have Loved AFL

A 20ish year old Ludacris song?

the substance of the clusterfuck is essentially captured by the thread title, though there's an underlying argument about musical analysis & correctness
