  1. Georgia marks a year of protests since EU talks stalled and crackdown intensified
  2. Don, I appreciate you going to town on Trump's corruption, but there's a little more that you could be doing...
  3. We need to deal with our own corruption. We joke that Witkoff is treating this all like it's a fucking real estate deal, but holy shit. In a sane world, Congress would be going to town on why Americans are cutting deals with Russian companies and pressuring Ukraine to basically surrender in return.

  4. We setup a forward base on Aruba back in the 90s, but I don't think they are keen on letting us use it.
  5. Shame she didn't run off with Leon. He would have been deported back to South Africa.
  6. We are even deploying more Harriers to Puerto Rico. Those things are short range and we probably don't deploy them all that often. And we keep sending B-52s along their coast. US lands fighter jets in Puerto Rico amidst growing tensions with Venezuela | Watch
  7. Their fans are complete assholes. Didn't tell me "howdy". Didn't show me around their campus. Didn't drive me over an hour out of their way to my hotel after I ran out of gas because I was used to the fuel gauge location on my car and not the rental. Didn't buy me lunch or dinner. Didn't show up the next morning and drive me hours away to Los Angeles so I could fly out or offer to drive me back to Texas when I missed my flight. Just complete and utter assholes.
  8. Here's what I think happened - he wants to bomb or invade or both, and was talking to the military folks, and somebody told him that there are a lot of flights in and around Venezuela - flights up and down the continent, flights in and out of Colombia (that cross over Venezulea), plus you have Aruba and the Antilles right off the coast with lots of tourist flights every single day from Europe and the Americas. There's probably a healthy amount of air traffic in that part of the world. They probably told Trump they have to be careful about civilian flights if they start bombing or trying to move troops in and supporting them, and that if they issue a NOTAM Venezulea will be tipped off, and Trump being Trump, said "fuck it, you all are useless, I'll shut down their airspace and the surrounding areas and we won't have to worry about civilian aircraft" and then he goes on Truth Social and declares bankruptcy their airspace to be shut down.
  9. There's a joke that goes something like "Trump is the second-most powerful person in the world - the most powerful person in the world is whoever last talked to Trump."
  10. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/interactive/2025/ukraine-women-combat-drone-unit/
  11. Fine, you've convinced me, let's tuck our tails between our legs, try to get out of those big OOC games and look like fucking cowards. Because that's exactly what aggy would do.
  12. High profile game, gives the players a real game with real pressure, facing off against some solid offense and defense. Versus a scrimmage against kids that are not far away from playing at Division II or III or even Jucos.
  13. They will expand the playoffs pretty soon because it pays everybody well, network included. I don't want us scheduling the Colorado School for Blind Basket Weavers because we dropped a game to Florida that we shouldn't have. The Ohio State game had a lot of benefits that beating the fuck out of the University of California - Ferndale would not get us.
  14. My kids will always watch Polar Express at Christmas, no idea why. So I'll have to watch Spielberg's 1941 by myself again this year. Maybe next year.
  15. 'One of our greatest writers': King leads tributes to Sir Tom Stoppard
  16. How dare you talk about Ed McMahon, Ruth Buzzi, and Dan Haggerty like that!
  17. Let's examine that so more, it's a story from 2019 (so the mom is now 48, she was 42 in the photo).

  18. If the reports are correct, Trump told Japan to chill the fuck out about defending Taiwan, so I think we know where that's headed. Also, I have absolutely no doubt he wouldn't give a fuck about Taiwan, even though it would completely wreck our economy, because he doesn't understand simple economics and why Taiwan is so important. Everything is just fucking real estate to him, that can be traded away.
  19. The answer is always OU if it's about hurting them.
  20. Or we just fucking beat all of the shitty teams and not worry about it. We should not have lost to Florida. Consistent teams don't lose those kinds of games. And it's fucking crazy how far and fast we've come in less than a decade where even a single loss could keep us out of playing for something significant, and now we are debating whether we should be in with 3 wins or not. We should be in if some of those 2-loss teams ahead of us lost today but they didn't.
