Saw Indians are trending boycott China on Twitter, saw a post about an annual dog festival in China this weekend. Wow, #yulan is some sick, graphic shit.

This could be an interesting night. According to Twitter Atlanta PD is calling in sick or not answering calls.

This thread won't die, I guess I have to watch season 2.

ffs, I had you on ignore, I shouldn't have read this. I was just trying to create a thread where people could post links to Twitter accounts of the people that have come through the UT System, be it athlete/scholar that others may like to hear their opinion on the current climate. You have issues, I put you on ignore, b/c you post a ton and try to argue in every thread. Get a life. Ricky Williams https://twitter.com/Rickthelaureate

Hey, I don't follow twitter too much and would like to see what our Texas-Ex's have to say about the current climate. I don't care what you minions think and I'm too lazy to browse through all your comments. Can you please post links to our UT Alumni Twitters? Thanks! Try not to clutter the chat, just post twitter feeds/twitter messages on the topic., Discuss everything in I'll start.. Vince Young. https://twitter.com/VinceYoung10

Post was deleted, I guess it was a troll. That was an epic troll though.

Oh, I forget I have walked out on one movie. It was one of the Avenger movies at Alamo, I watched it for like 30m with 3D glasses on, I was eating or I would have left sooner. I kept looking around at the audience, taking off my glasses, putting them back on, shit is blurry. The movie was not in 3D, all these fools were watching the movie with 3D glasses on, I walked out and talked to someone there. They apologized to the audience, stopped the movie and started playing it in 3D after that, I asked for a refund to comeback.

A few years ago, my neighbor graduated from UT, and he thought of being a cop. He played it safe and went in the car rental business, but I think he told me Austin required a degree. I don't think that is common, We need to require that at least IMHO. We need people like him, less cops, but more educational requirements, more pay right away if they have a degree?

And I looked this up a long time ago, b/c I had to know where "If it's that kind of party, I'll stick my dick in the mash potatoes." came from... I've used that line many times in my life. https://dangerousminds.net/comments/famous_beastie_boys_sample_revealed

Finally watched it. I loved it. I used to jam to License to Ill on my cassette deck in the 80's. in Jr High. I have to say, I was one of the peeps that passed on Paul's Boutique when I was in HS. I saw them 2 times after, in San Antonio, We were in the mosh pit passing dudes around A few years later we saw them at the Frank Erwin. They are one of the few bands I bought all the cds, My favorite is still... The In Sound from Way Out! All Instrumental. So funky, If you haven't listened to it you should. https://open.spotify.com/album/0nA01XOVBUoi1zDVVYKz4i?si=eJJNHL-YTs-7inlE_YpQSQ

I remember loving s1, Then s2 came out and I watched the "recap" and couldn't remember shit, so I gave up at the time and haven't gone back. I have though multiple times of staring a tv recap website, I can't find a good one out there.

Very powerful "speech." I respect him so much for "living his life".

I'm too frugal to walk out of a movie at a theater, but I turn off movies all the time at home, when I'm told they could be "ok", etc. I don't know if I ever did back in the day of VHS and DVD, but now it is too easy to just find something else to entertain you.

Thats why I have been putting off watching. I love this show. I didn't want to be disappointed when I had to wait for more episodes. I have too much of a hard time remembering what happened last "season."

Can you give me a synopsis of what UT's African-American greats have stated on the subject? Thanks!

I was born and raised a Longhorn in Austin. I have given it thought the last couple of days, since it broke. At first I was like, "you can't take away Eyes of Texas", but now after thought, I I don't really care that much. It's a song I learned when I could first talk 45 years ago, I would miss it, b/c it always give me a chill in DKR when everyone sang it, and even a sense of pride when I sang it at home alone. I didn't know all the history of the song. In my opinion of whether it should stay or not, I concede to our African-American greats that have come through UT. I haven't waded through the last day to see what their comments are....

yeah, I just looked up how the "Summer Of Love" died, b/c people were comparing it to that, and thats how it seemed to die. But we have a lot more jobless people now and a bunch of rich people that will fund them. We will see. I am enjoying the entertainment(most of us seem to be history and news junkies). I appreciate the message. I hope leaders have heard the people by now and will work to make changes. I read there were a few other cities that had protesters that wanted to emulate this, but Police shut it down quick. https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1271863809137717248?s=20

Are Cinemax shows on this? I saw if I switch my google fiber to ATT fiber, then I get HBO max free. We had ATT Fiber installed in our condos a year ago, I remember looking when they installed they were more expensive than Google, but now they are cheaper by I think $20 dollars plus HBO, but i haven't had any issues with Google fiber for the 7+ years I've had it, so sort of worried about switching to ATT fiber. I guess I need to see if that sideload for ATV works.

It reminded me of Steve Martin's SNL A Holiday Wish List skit.

Is this real? The edits are cracking me up.... Introducing: Conflict Resolution Advisory Council We will form a unique system called the Conflict Resolution Advisory Council. We hold a community democratic vote to appoint three people to the Council. To eliminate prejudice, we elect one Black man, one Black woman, and one white woman. Each person should undergo at least one 45 minute sensitivity and political training session which we can help organize. Whenever there is an internal conflict in the Zone, it will be put to the Council. Both people will have an opportunity to present their side of the story to the Council to review. The Council members will decide on a fair resolution and provide it as advice. Initially the Council will be advisory only. In the future the system could evolve to become more mature with binding resolutions, impositions, retribution, enforcement, and imprisonment. The appointed people will hear out and settle any internal disputes within the Zone. We're not suggesting that this Council members become leaders or judges, only referees in case of internal conflicts. Edit 1: After receiving feedback about inclusiveness we shall include in the council one Black man, one Black woman, one trans Black person, one non-binary Black person, and one white woman (5 4 people). Edit 2: On more feedback we will add to the Council 1 Asian non-male, 1 Native American non-male, and 1 Latinx non-male, and then 4 additional Black men and women to balance it out. In total there are 3 + 4 + 4 = 11 members. Edit 3: We've received some feedback about including disabledpersons (mental and physical) and homelesspersons on the Council. 20% or 40% of the Council should be persons with lived experience of disability. At least 10% should be experiencing involuntary homelessness. Edit 4: We realize LGBTQIA communities are being under-represented in the Council so far and are working on proposals to rectify this. The final composition of the balanced Council will likely include 10-50% people who identify as LGBTQIA. Edit 5: We have agreed to add 3 more seats, two of which are to give a voice to the disadvantaged LGBTQIA community, and one to give children equal representation and fairness. The new seats include one for a LGBTQI-identifying Black disabledperson, one for a LGBTQI-identifying Black homelessperson, and one for a non-white or mixed race child between the ages of 8 and 15. Edit 6: There have been further concerns raised over the efficacy of the Council to deal with disputes between children, as children are currently not adequately represented. In light of the feedback, we will add child safety training programs to the onboarding session and add one additional seat for another non-white or mixed race child between the ages of 8 and 15 (preferably disabled). Edit 7: We've heard your concerns about the Asian non-male seat representing all Asian subgroups as if they are a monolithic identity. That wasn't our intention. We will replace the Asian non-male seat with 12 mini-seats for each of the following Asian non-male identities: Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Cambodian, Taiwanese, Malaysian, Mongolian, Okinawan, Singaporean, and wildcard (any Asian identity, except Korean-American). The mini-seats will collectively hold the voting power of one seat. Edit 8: We've been told that our Council under-represents those with a criminal record or incarceration experience, as white culture allows people to suffer a particular disadvantage because of past convictions. The Council will mandate that more than 25% of its members must have a violent criminal history with previous or current incarceration experience. Edit 9: Some women have expressed to us that they wouldn't feel comfortable presenting a case involving a sexual offence to a Council that is partly made up of criminals with a history of committing sexual offences. We are placing a cap of 50% on the proportion of Council members who have performed one or more premeditated sexual assaults or rapes in the preceding twelve months. Homelesspersons and disabledpersons are exempt from this cap.
