I guess that's some notion of "economics"? If it is helpful, here are the quick basics of offensive roster building right now, with names to frame the categories: QB - HS 3 star or below, $0-$50k (Owens); HS 4 star or above, high 6 figures (Bell); Transfer G5 or lower proven starter, mid to high 6 figures (Roark - IU guy from Ohio); Transfer P4 proven starter, well into 7 figures (Mateer); Transfer reclamation project, $0-$100k (JT Daniels) TB - HS 3 star or below, $0-$100 (Wisner)k; HS 4 star or above, mid 6 figures (Gibson); Transfer G5 or lower proven starter, $0-low 6 figures (Skattebo - ASU allegedly got him for free from Sac State); Transfer P4 proven starter, mid to high 6 figures (Judkins); Transfer reclamation project, $0-$100k (Zach Evans) FB/Hybrid TE - HS 3 star or below, $0 (Winston); HS 4 star or above, $0-$50k (??); Transfer G5 or lower proven starter, $0-$50k (Bruckler, Ole Miss); Transfer P4 proven starter, $50k-$200k (??); Transfer reclamation project, $0 (Megwa) TE - HS 3 star or below, $0-$50k (Randle, Shannon); HS 4 star or above, low-mid 6 figures (Townsend, Armstrong); Transfer G5 or lower proven starter, low-mid 6 figures (Pittman Jr); Transfer P4 proven starter, mid to high 6 figures (Hasz, Klare); Transfer reclamation project, $0-$200k (Niblack, think the bigger number) WR - HS 3 star or below, $0-$50k (Dubose); HS 4 star or above, low to high 6 figures (McCutcheon being lower, Wingo/Lockett/Ffrench being higher, DKM being an outlier not worth tracking for others); Transfer G5 or lower proven starter, low to mid 6 figures (Neyor, Bolden); Transfer P4 proven starter, mid 6 to low 7 figures (Golden, Mitchell, Bond); Transfer reclamation project, $100k-$250k (Stewart, Hudson lol) IOL - HS 3 star or below, $0k (Texas has like 5 of these on the roster or just signed); HS 4 star or above, $25k-$250k (Campbell); Transfer G5 or lower proven starter, $50k-$250k (ATM has a few of these types); Transfer P4 proven starter, low-mid 6 figures (McLaughlin, Brailsford); Transfer reclamation project, $0-$100k (Dewberry) OT - HS 3 star or below, $0-$50k (Wright); HS 4 star or above, low-mid 6 figures (Baker, Fasusi); Transfer G5 or lower proven starter, low-mid 6 figures (Onianwa); Transfer P4 proven starter, mid-high 6 figures (Pritchett); Transfer reclamation project, $0-$100k (Tykieast Crawford) There are one-offs in some instances at these spots where breaks are given due to homesickness or a convicted desire that a particular program will get the player into the NFL.29 points

Just look at all the MAGA dumbfucks going on Twitter or Truth to implore Trump to save their government job or their immigrant spouse or their autistic kidβs special programs because, unlike all the others whom Trump and DOGE rightly smote, they are a Good Girl or Boy. Theyβre literally praying to him and itβs fucking sad and pathetic.18 points

Trumpβs near-constant lying really broke (stupid) peopleβs brains. It allows them to justify a cafeteria MAGA interpretation, latching on to the promises they like and dismissing the others as βTrump being Trumpβ (that is, not telling the truth). It never occurred to them that such a comprehensive history of dishonesty makes someone fundamentally untrustworthy. They convinced themselves that Trumpβs true intentions are entirely aligned with theirs, the same way the religious hoi polloi all believe God is eager to intervene on behalf of their own chosen sports team over all the other teams who also have fans that pray to the same God. Our species is fundamentally stupid and self-centered and, thus, easy to deceive.18 points

Well, I'll tell the shortest version of a long story. I live on some acres and as such have to take my trash to a dump. I was rolling by Friday with the woman I'm seeing heading to drop off Darlene for grooming and take the woman to Valentine's Day lunch. (She works evening shift at hospital) In in the dump there was a little critter running around that was preciously getting nearly under wheel. I threw my trash out and could see she was badly under weight. I went to pull a milk bone from a snack bag behind seat and critter tried to jump in. Well, I gave her a snack and she quietly went to munching. Got back in the car, and "asked" female, hey any objections to dropping the little girl off at the shelter. Of course not, cause I'd have told her ass to get out if she did. I spoke with the trash dump attended and confirmed it wasn't his and someone left it. Offered to take it to the pound and he was happy because he was scared about the dog and wasn't sure what to do. (He couldn't leave). So i head to the shelter which, of course, was closed until noon. So... quick shift, I decided to go to my vet which I know takes walk in for health assessment and shots. I volunteer at the shelter and figure it will make the dog more adoptable and to do my part for dog kind. They accept and can even give her a bath. I take Darlene to the groomer and while I'm there snag a leash, collar and bag of food. Of course you need a bowl too. Just so, you know, I could figure out best plan for the dog. We go nice lunch. During which the woman I'm seeing smiles after I explain i got the leash, collar, bowls and food. "Oh I figured that's what you put in the trunk." I already knew... but then admitted it. I just adopted a new dog. On the way back to the vet to pick up my new dog, girl friend came up with the name Valerie for Valentine's Day. So... meet Valerie who has her shots, only had worms (already medicated) and is getting chipped and fixed ASAP.18 points

well, the first thing I would consider is re-arrange your local friend group, because they will be much better at this than I for what you can do locally. Quick google shows a few restaurants, bars, lodging providers, therapists, gyms, etc. are openly supportive and accepting. I would look those places up and first, support them with your dollars, and second get to know the staff and owners and try and get into their community. Most people who are openly supportive are eager to meet more openly supportive people and you can actually just strike up the conversation about what are the comings and goings on around JC, what else can we do, are there any organizations, etc. Often times there are support groups, get togethers, etc. This may not yield exactly what you want but it gets you plugged in and there's no better place to do that than in your own back yard. As for organizations to support - here are the Texas orgs I would consider (some of which I am intimately familar with but I'd rather not say my involvement publicly I can answer questions privately though): * Equality Texas - this is the premier Texas LGBTQ+ organization in the state. They are the group that ran trans ads during Abbott's state of the state address. This organization is well funded and focuses exclusively on LGBTQ+ issues, and let's face it right now that's almost exclusively TQ issues. * Texas Freedom Network - this organization is a fierce advocate at the Texas Capitol and does a fantastic job energizing Texas youth to get out the vote (not good enough mind you, but one of the best). TFN is unique in that they focus on religious freedom (freedom from religion mostly), public education (one of the lone progressive voices at the SBOE hearings), as well as LGBTQ+ rights and reproductive rights. A small organization, but a great one with a unique cluster of issues they fight for. * Out Youth - this organization focuses on LGBTQ+ youth in their journey, I don't know much about them but one year we volunteered to do light handyman and clean up work in one of their houses. They have a community center approach but with a traditional home where youth can come and find a safe place. we donated a xbox that summer and scrubbed the snot out of their house, painted, repaired, etc. It was a good time and it's a more granular approach to helping. * Lifeworks - this organization is more broadly focused on ending youth homelessness in Travis County, but that necessarily means LGBTQ+ kids and young adults. LifeWorks is about to break ground in the coming months on a new 120 unit housing complex dedicated solely to helping homeless and at risk youth transition to adulthood with dignity and opportunity. This organization also offers "wrap around" services including job training, education support, trauma counseling, peer support, life skills, housing assistance, help setting up apartments with all the goods and wares needed, etc. A real thought leader in the national movement to end youth homelessness. * Kind Clinic - this is one of the last standing organizations providing trans and LGBTQ+ healthcare without fear (well maybe some fear). I don't know about volunteer opportunities, but they do accept financial donations and contributions. * Texas Observer - I've mentioned them anytime someone posts their articles. One of the only progressive, long-form, investigative journalism magazines focused solely on Texas. They accept donations starting at $5/month and their print magazine is a steal of a subscription. They also accept larger donations. If for no other reason, supporting the Observer to get the magazine is a great way to stay abreast of unheard of and unreported travesties in Texas (and in some case hope). Nationally, Human Rights Campaign (they have a local Austin committee that is active), GLAAD, Lambda Legal, ACLU, Planned Parenthood (also in Texas), could all use financial support. But for being active locally, those are the organizations I know about. I also hate to say this, but trans specific organizations are not very effective imo. I think the organizations that are focused on more than just T issues do better.14 points

It's also more projection. They accuse Biden of planting mines and fudging numbers. Trump and Elon are in the middle of doing that right now. Trump is straight deleting evidence of his guilt in Jan. 6th and any of the other lawsuits he can get his hands on through the DOJ. They stopped tracking bird flu numbers, just like they had stopped tracking Covid back in the day. They will hold back data, fudge it, lie about it, omit it.. all kinds of things just to make the "data" fit their narrative. He's an old-school scam artist and fraudster, using the same tired tricks and thinking nobody will catch on if he just repeats the lie enough... and it's working for much of his base.14 points

Fucking disgusting. The keys to Trumps "agreement" with Ukraine are coming to light. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/02/17/revealed-trump-confidential-plan-ukraine-stranglehold/ This... A new Versailles If this draft were accepted, Trumpβs demands would amount to a higher share of Ukrainian GDP than reparations imposed on Germany at the Versailles Treaty, later whittled down at the London Conference in 1921, and by the Dawes Plan in 1924. At the same time, he seems willing to let Russia off the hook entirely. Donald Trump told Fox News that Ukraine had βessentially agreedβ to hand over $500bn. βThey have tremendously valuable land in terms of rare earths, in terms of oil and gas, in terms of other things,β he said. He warned that Ukraine would be handed to Putin on a plate if it rejected the terms. βThey may make a deal. They may not make a deal. They may be Russian someday, or they may not be Russian someday. But I want this money back,β he said. Trump said the US had spent $300bn on the war so far, adding that it would be βstupidβ to hand over any more. In fact the five packages agreed by Congress total $175bn, of which $70bn was spent in the US on weapons production. Some of it is in the form of humanitarian grants, but much of it is lend-lease money that must be repaid.13 points

I thought you were joking here. I'd argue that Pete's CV is a positive. Dude did the classic Harvard to McKinsey route, after a few years realized he hated it, then went home and ran for Indiana State Treasurer before running for Mayor of his hometown. He has dedicated his career to public service when it's very clear he could've easily made many, many millions in the corporate world.12 points

Fuck that. Dems constantly conceding that Republicans are right that the government is shitty is a big part of why we are where we are now. Before DOGE started taking a hatchet to it, the federal workforce had as many employees as it had in 1985. And that was because of a lot of new hires under Biden. In 2014 it was the same size it was in 1966. 70% of the government is military and veterans. What's left is woefully inadequate to manage a modern state that is as large geographically and economically as America is. And now we're firing them all.12 points

So, the party of small government is allowing a foreign entity access to personal, private citizen data? Undoing courts, investigative bodies/civil defense and consumer protective agencies, citizens are hemorrhaging protections and yet voted to give it all away, while being warned democracy was at stake. Brutality is likely on the horizon. This is moving fast as fuck while representatives are worried about their chances to win elections? Theyβre not undoing all this to risk it on elections. Those reps sitting on their hands agreeing with toadie and turnip at the detriment of their constituents are doing so hoping they get appointed, not elected.10 points

There are plenty of longhorn alumni in the same boat. My pops thinks we donβt talk because of his conservative beliefsβ¦. I mean if heβs talking about how he misgendered me at 45+ years old in my own god damn home after years of dealing with his shit, his visible discomfort being around my wife who is and has always been a lesbian, and generally pushing vile anti-LBGTQ crap, then yeah heβs right. Oh and plus that bullshit about how he never could level up and have an adult relationship where maybe, just maybe he could be the one that did wrong and owed his kids an apology and heartfelt turn from stupidity. Yep, pops itβs because you voted for Trump and you love Jesus. fuck every single parent that chooses politics, religion, dogma and ideology over their gay and queer kids. Every. last. One of them. my pops has three adult children, NONE talk to him. Heβs pushing 82 or 83 and heβs still entrenched in the mindset itβs our fault. Fucking victim.10 points
