  1. Their hysterical screams to sue are even more precious and laughable because the atm contract a provision contemplating what happens (buyout doubles) should Schloss accept a position at another university within the state of Texas, which was intended to be UT-specific.
  2. My trip doesn't begin until the end of September so I'll be here asking questions and hoping the dollar doesn't slide too much against the yen in the meantime!
  3. Elmo and Tesla management continue to be the very worst kinda people. https://insideevs.com/news/724121/tesla-dog-mode-not-working/
  4. Columbus, Ohio was always on this guy's mind. ATM: Dumped by both their AD, and their best coach for any major sport within the modern era - within 6 months of each other.
  5. Someone (might've been Joe Cook) commented that Trev didn't make himself visible in Omaha. He was hanging out in the back of a suite instead of in the crowd.
  6. posted today https://www.ft.com/content/5ec13d57-6bee-4e44-ab34-77370b0ec59c
  7. fwiw, not a personal rec but from a friend who used to live on the North Shore: 7 Brothers Sugar Mill--Get the Seared Ahi Bonzai Bowls--Located within walking distance of Sunset Beach Food Land Poke Bowls--Yes its located in the grocery store but don't knock it till you try it Shave Ice Waiola--The softest Matsumotos--Very Touristy but they are the only place that have the flavor white cake and the little town it is in is fun to walk around
  8. My argument is diminished capacity - my sense of skepticism was temporarily over-ridden by Shloss-related giddiness. I believe it's a fake.
  9. Eh...maybe it was just a shitpost. I think the coach's name would be outed if it's real. If not today, certainly tomorrow.
  10. I'm surprised at your take. If it's a parody, it's extremely well written. I don't believe it's a parody or bullshit but it's just an opinion. Molly Knight (author, journo) posted it on bsky but gave no indication it's bs. Maybe she and I fell for a fake. However, on average, over the past 25 years, an average of 2 hs football players per year have died of heat stroke. And in Texas, as you probably know, they passed a law to prevent cities mandating water breaks for outdoor workers. The attitude of the coach is pervasive. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/how-extreme-heat-affects-young-athletes
  11. I feel like it deserves its own thread on the football board but I don't know who the coach is. He super impressively wove "pronouns" into the screed.
  12. Thanks so much! Very helpful.
  13. making the rounds on bluesky - I guess it was originally posted to fb.
  14. I was going to write that right now would be a hilarious time to leak that a new Assistant AD named Justin Moore had been hired at Texas. But TU (Tulsa) hired him as AD on June 12.
  15. If you had one day to spend in Hiroshima, what would you do?
  16. That does hugely suck. My eyes popped when I saw Chitra Agrawal's name mentioned. Super nice woman with whom I corresponded in the past. We've been customers of Brooklyn Delhi for a couple years now and I highly recommend their sauces and achaars. And the spicy chutney. I found Brooklyn Delhi through another small Indian food company, Diaspora Co., which sells the best spices you'll likely ever come across. Just mentioning because Diaspora makes great gifts for any person who loves to cook. Brooklyn Delhi sells great sauces (coconut curry, korma, masala) when you want to give the cook in the family a night off but don't want to go out/order delivery.
  17. North Korea's new alliance with Russia has South Korea considering whether to send weapons to Ukraine. https://www.reuters.com/world/south-korea-says-will-reconsider-providing-weapons-ukraine-yonhap-says-2024-06-20/
  18. https://www.ft.com/content/89fe9d6b-3a0f-42a5-af50-cff7f457a126
  19. adding https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/20/it-is-all-lining-up-plan-for-ukraine-to-finally-start-using-f-16-jets-this-summer
  20. If you can't turn out enough voters who want to oust Ted Cruz (not saying you have to win, just that they need to motivate turn out) you're not going turn out voters in close down-ballot contests, as well. IMO. Also sorry to hear y'all think Allred sucks. I'm in CO so knowledge about Tx politics is limited, and was hoping he'd be a big improvement over Beto.
