  1. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this all afternoon. I’m utterly bewildered. It’s like something straight out of The Onion. Not one person involved could possibly have a shred of self awareness. Maybe this season’s script writers have a sense of humor after all.
  2. lololololololol https://apnews.com/article/fifa-peace-prize-trump-infantino-682042bcb23ba0e02dcc5f1e88894ffd
  3. A lot of these are meh in the big scheme of things, but 12 is pretty bad. It was the only one I was holding on to a shred of hope for. Alas. Like y'all were saying though, the text of these is such that you really have to do a fair amount of research to even know WTF you're voting for. Don't worry. The lege pinky promise swears to make up those billions to public schools.
  4. Sorry if already discussed - I'm not going to review all 9 pages of this thread - but why does everyone want to make grand inferences about what the NYC mayor race means for progressivism/Democrats/Trump and on and on without mentioning that Cuomo is literally a sex pest? From what little I know, I probably fall somewhere to the right of Zohran Mamdani on a lot of things, but I wouldn't vote for a guy that has been credibly accused of being a creep and resigned from his last job in shame as long as there's a reasonable alternative. Could it not be as simple as that?
  5. Of all the things in the world that aren't going to happen, this is the most not going to happen.
  6. 2026 2nd, 2027 1st (Cowboys), and Mazi for Williams I guess we had to overpay to get them to take Mazi off our hands.
  7. Fucking hell. This has got to be one of the worst drafts in NFL history. Bust, bust, injuries, out of football, career backup, out of football, career practice squad, career practice squad.
  8. We have a bunch of IT guys that have been around forever and can barely install a printer. I suspect those facts are related. I doubt they're raking in the coin. Not everyone is a ringer.
  9. Simon and the Florida kid coming in should be a really good 1-2 punch next year. RB can contribute early. Then you have Baxter who isn’t an elite talent anymore but provides steady experience. I’d rather spend whatever NIL y’all are allocating to RB on OL. We need to completely start over on the interior and I don’t think some competition for Baker would be a bad idea either. Of course we probably won’t actually do that, because we’re idiots.
  10. When will the game time be announced? Not until next week?
  11. That 2 pt conversion is one of the craziest things I’ve even seen during a football game.
  12. He's not going to play. These reports are just classic smokescreen stuff.
  13. You've misunderstood the situation. Big Pharma "influenced" the administration in the same way that a local business "influences" its neighborhood mafia boss.
  14. Inboden claims that academia is a "political monoculture" and his proposed solution is to create new departments that will attract conservative scholars. I really wish one of the interviewers would have asked him, "why not just hire the best professors for the humanities/history/social science/poli sci/etc department, period? why do their political beliefs matter?". What he's proposing is essentially affirmative action places for people who weren't good enough to already be hired on anywhere.
  15. I’ve voted in enough Republican primaries in the last few years that I’ve ended up on a lot of phone and mailing lists. My mail man probably thinks I’m a total nutter. It makes for a very convenient voting guide though. I just make note of the most virulent shit I get and vote the opposite. Endorsement of Patrick/Paxton/Hotze/etc? Thanks for letting me know!
  16. Thanks for posting that. I find his assertion that universities "policing" themselves will keep outside political forces from interfering to be almost absurdly naive in this day and age. I suspect he actually knows better and is making that argument in bad faith.
  17. I've kind of come around to the idea that the Cowboys should re-sign Pickens. I mean, in a rational world, no, it makes no sense to have that much money tied up in 2 receivers when the defense needs so much help. But in the actual world that we live in, Jerruh is going to plead poverty when it comes time to sign free agents anyway, so we might as well have a fun offense. To put it another way, we can spend $30m and have Pickens, or we can spend like $6m on one year deals for past their prime defensive veterans while Jerry spends the other $24m on an Olympic swimming pool full of Johnny Blue. Neither one gets us any closer to the Super Bowl, but I know which one is more entertaining for me as a fan to watch.
  18. I went ahead and registered for this draw too. Ain't no way us little people are getting tickets, though.
  19. You're putting way too much thought into this. It's just a concept/money laundering scheme like their dumb "linear city" or whatever.
  20. The children didn't vote for anything. (99.99% chance it's fake, though)
  21. Seeing this thread bumped is like the dreaded commitment thread bump in the recruiting forum.
  22. I heard them playing KPop Demon Hunters in the background at one point
  23. Went to bed during the 9th and woke up to the realization that I missed a whole 2nd baseball game lol
