You guys don't get it. If the US falls, what do you think happens next? He pulls us out of NATO, the far right gain foot holds in every EU country and the UK, factions occur, Russia invades, and Europe is at war again. The flight is here. If we don't stop it here, the whole world goes down with us. There will be no safe havens. Now put your big boy and girl pants on, stop saying it's over, get a fucking backbone, and let's go fight these motherfuckers (at the ballot box) and send them all back to the shame filled basements that they emerged from! There are more of us than them. If we donate, organize, and fucking vote, we will beat them again. Trump is a fucking loser who has lost everything he has ever been involved with. He will lose in November. He will go to prison. He will die in a jail cell. Stop feeling sorry for yourselves. There is no ledge. There is no country to run off to. No one is coming to save us. We have to do it. It's time to stand up and take our country back.

Holy shit, if true…

Dial 459-2222 and get a Mr. Gatti's pizza delivered. Real cheese. Real hot. Real taste is what we got. Real service. Real fast. All the other pizzas are a thing of the past. So dial 459-2222. Mr. Gatti's, the best pizza in town. Now that's some effective marketing if I can remember a spot that ran in a town I haven't lived in for over 26 years.

How about instead of whining about whatever you think “the American public” thinks, you pussies cowboy the fuck up and start actually helping? The election is a fucking coinflip right now and there’s plenty of time left to remind people who haven’t been paying much attention the last few years why Trump sucks so goddamned much. Look around the world right now. The right has collapsed in the UK, just got repudiated by normies in France, and have faced significant electoral setbacks recently in Turkey and India. They’re not invincible. They’re fucking losers who win when their opposition splits and stays home because they think the right can’t be stopped. But one way or another the fascists will lose, because the first and last thing every fascist is is a fucking loser, but it’ll be a lot fucking easier to beat these assholes at the ballot box than in a civil war. Jesus fucking Christ, act like goddamned men.

Bobby has some great sources on NIL. The aggregate is correct. Corporate and TOF are both significant drivers. TOF does not have $20M in the coffers and Bobby knows that, so I don’t think that’s what he would have said. But yeah, the football payroll to meet is above that number. The QB room is almost a third of the real number and a majority of the QB NIL is corporate. We can probably all both expect and hope that that continues and it should. A few QB positions nationally are worth a fuckton in corporate NIL - whoever is really winning at that point in time and like 5 blue bloods with massive brands. That considered, there is always a need for more, across all sports, but things continue to be headed in the right direction on a cycle by cycle basis.

Posting tonight from my home computer for the first time in 8.5 days. Power came back on sometime between when I left my office and pulled into my driveway around 6:30. All I was planning to do was pop in and pack a bag while sweating buckets and then head over to my brother's house for the night. Immediately hauled ass to go pick up my dogs from the kennel before the cutoff between daycare and overnight boarding. Never been so happy to see a front porch light on in my life. Just started a load of laundry with a shit-eating grin on my face. Still uncomfortably warm in the house, but it has already dropped from 85 to 80. We ended up being in the final 3% of addresses without power before getting restored. I stayed optimistic and held up pretty well for the most part, but yesterday when we started getting the "maybe not until Friday" texts, it finally broke me. Spent the evening alternating between pissed and depressed. It is my fervent hope that I was the last Surly poster still in the dark.

Wasn't he a helicopter dad? Too soon?

I called my dad a racist piece of shit today. So yeah I do talk mostly how I post.

Oh, Elron--you're going to love Downtown Austin.

Easy come, EZ-GO

New state motto: "Texas...maybe someday, we'll have our shit together as well as Mexico does." That's where we are, folks. I mean, we don't even get to wear the cool pointy boots. FFS.

Get Lockett and Ffrench and we're good

We also treated him like a backup plan for most of the cycle. The decision makes sense. Still two whales on the board though. We all like Gerry, but the “hi” thing is objectively stupid.

Looking at the seating I'd guess there must have been between 350,000 to 400,000 at that rally.

Between Elon, Alex Jones and Joe Rogan, you guys are putting together a pretty formidable line-up of assholes over there in Austin.

I prefer pilots who don't get shot down 3 times. Just joking. Thank your dad for his service, and I'm glad that he survived all those non-'splosions, and was able to bang your mom to have you.

That’s par for the course.

I didn't see the show, but historically McElroy is a pretty big Horns fan. He's usually very complimentary and knowledgeable about the team.

Defend Texas Liberty pal Nick Fuentes is big mad

The real path is only with Kamala. And saying "anyone else" feels really disingenuous as you know she is the only option with so little time remaining. Nominating Kamala means: 1. The Democratic Party is being proactive, instead of depending on reactive fantasies that Trump will bury himself somehow. A sign to all Americans that the party is truly concerned for the future of this country. Trump and all of his bootlickers don't think the Dem party has the balls to do it. It will rattle hem. 2. The age issue completely gets flipped. American voters will have their blinders removed and have the chance to see the age issues and mental decline and overall ridiculousness of Trump due to the stark contrast with Kamala. 3. Reinvigorates party enthusiasm and fundraising. She can seamlessly run on the Biden administration platform. 4. Easier to convince and remind voters of the threats to women's rights when Kamala is the face of the campaign 5. Kamala getting nominated is the only chance to get Trump into another debate, and she has the ability to perform well. If Trump refused to debate her, it will hurt him with some voters. Frankly, I think he'd have to debate her. The optics would be terrible for him otherwise. And as we've all seen, optics REALLY matters to voters. EDIT: All of the above is also taking into consideration that if Biden dropped out, he would say shit like "This is a decision that I made with my family" blah blah blah. He wasn't forced out, that he realizes this is the best path to victory and best thing for our country.

Imagine being a major shareholder of Tesla and watching your CEO pledge hundreds of millions of dollars towards a candidate that wants to get rid of EV subsidies and have gas subsidies instead.

I enjoyed Lester Holt asking Biden what he is going to personally do to tone down the rhetoric. Yeah Joe. What are YOU gonna do? We’re sick of you celebrating violence.

Biden set to announce support for major Supreme Court changes: Hell yeah. Fuck em up, Joe.

To any uneducated Southeasterners reading this, here is what started the false narrative that UT whined about Horns down: Nov 5, 2012 – The Dallas Morning News Mack Brown today was asked about wideout Mike Davis being flagged for doing the ‘guns down’ — the flip of Texas Tech’s ‘guns up’ hand symbol. Davis holstered the guns after scoring a touchdown and was charged with unsportsmanlike conduct, forcing the Longhorns to kick the ball off 15 yards back. Brown said he understood the call and got onto Davis about it. But he doesn’t think it’s fair his players get flagged for such taunting but opposing players are never penalized for doing the ‘Horns down sign. The media and ignorant opposing fanbases like to turn this into an erroneous story about UT being soft. But the truth is pretty fucking simple: Don't penalize our team for doing things other teams get away with.

What about Genesis 6:11? " Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence." Or Ecclesiastes 6:11? "The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone?" Or Jeremiah 6:11? But I am full of the wrath of the LORD, and I cannot hold it in. “Pour it out on the children in the street and on the young men gathered together; both husband and wife will be caught in it, and the old, those weighed down with years." Or Ezekiel 6:11? “’This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Strike your hands together and stamp your feet and cry out “Alas!” because of all the wicked and detestable practices of the people of Israel, for they will fall by the sword, famine and plague." Or 1 Tim 6:11? "But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness." Does God only use EDT to send us divine messages that correspond with scripture? And who's to say that God doesn't use the 24 time standard, so this actually occurred at 18:11. Or who wants to let these morons know that chapter and verse designations were not divinely inspired, but added in the 12th and 15th centuries (CE) by scholars? This is all so, so dumb.

A colleague of mine was in Cancun when Beryl made landfall as a strong Cat 2. He said they rode it out in their room. They never lost power. They never lost internet or cell phone coverage. Once the storm had passed, everything was cleaned up and the party resumed. How in the fuck is the “Energy Capitol of the World” worse than handling hurricanes than Mexico???

I got an email today saying my power would be restored by the end of the day on Friday July 19th. I’d be pissed, but my power has been on since last Tuesday.

Spent the past five days camping and flyfishing in the Idaho wilderness. Night before leaving town, I cooked a massive, 2.25-pound rib steak and only ate half of it. Tossed the leftover half (first spoilered pic) in the cooler so it would not go to waste. First night at camp, sliced up the steak, added fresh grilled onions and japs (second pic), and rolled it all into some tortillas (unspoilered pic).

What is EA doing?

If you wanted to perfectly capture how fucked we are, from top to bottom, that paragraph does it. That said....hell yes. Fight like hell, fight to the bitter end. Whether it turns out like the Alamo or siege of Jadotville...or whether it's a turn-the-tide moment like Midway....who the fuck knows? But we won't even have the chance to find out if we don't fight. Vote. Fundraise. Attack the MAGAs: demoralize them, do all you can to get them to stay home. Leave it all on the field.
