  1. That game has never interested me in the least. It’s always irrelevant and happens after all the meaningful games wrap up. Army-Navy gives post-season all-star game vibes, minus the all-stars.
  2. Michigan-Ohio State is a great rivalry and among the best for the reasons naija mentions. I think it has a strong case for the #2 historic CFB rivalry. But no home-and-home series could ever come close to Texas-OU. That game and environment is like nothing else. The 50/50 crowd split, the mutual pilgrimage to the near geographic midpoint, the antiquated stadium surrounded by a preposterous carnival, and of course the history of bitterness and cross-pollination just set that game apart as one-of-a-kind.
  3. At this point, I just laugh and mock them straight to their faces. If they get offended, that’s on them. What do you expect from people when you say stupid, horrible bullshit out loud? I’m supposed to sit here and pretend you’re not a fucking moron making a fool of yourself? If they get so upset that it ruins the relationship, cool. Stupid is bad enough, but stupid and hypersensitive? Yeah we don’t need to spend time together. Life’s too short.
  4. For those wondering whether our Great State was at risk of losing its position on the vanguard of modern stupidity, fear not: Texas is the first state to buy crypto.
  5. What a stupid fucking idea. A few unsavory white guys are just going to sail to an island in the Caribbean, start killing and raping the native people, and then claim the land for their own? That shit would never work.
  6. …to use the parlance of our times.
  7. POOOOOOR AGGIEEEEEEES!!!
  8. Does this mean there will be fewer Waymos blocking traffic for a drop off / pick up downtown?
  9. Dude is a flighty dipshit. No thanks.
  10. Now I know how it feels to be an Applebee’s Sizzlin’ Butter Pecan Blondie.
  11. Megyn Kelly is profoundly dumb. Three years under the age of consent is not “legal,” not even “barely.”
  12. Seems to me, he don’t wanna talk about it.
  13. Been watching this show with my wife and kid. Oops. This is a mad send-up of conspiracy thriller series. It’s an unending maze of twists and turns and there will never be an answer. Just a never-ending trail of MacGuffins leading us to the next dead end and a new pile of distractions.
  14. Just CTRL-C, CTRL-V the ACA, edit the title to “TrumpCare,” and make the Republicans vote against it.
  15. Have you even read the Bible? God smote the fuck out of children all the time. This is as Christian as it gets.
  16. I posted about this almost 10 years ago. Trump lies constantly. Almost every word out of his mouth is false. Hillary got caught slightly twisting the truth a couple of times and was branded a liar. Meanwhile, the MAGA ding-dongs swallowed a fountain of bullshit directly from Trump’s mouth, nodded along and just said “Aw, that’s just Trump being Trump.” My theory is it’s about expectations and predictability. If someone always lies, then you can trust what they say to be a lie. Your brain doesn’t have to get off its lazy ass and evaluate the merits of their most recent claim. It’s a lie like everything else this guy says. You mistake consistency for credibility. And if you like the lie, you can decide to believe it. Because your brain is just on autopilot anyway—your critical thinking never had to kick in to evaluate the credibility of this claim (because it knew from past experience that it was almost certainly false), so no need to fire it up at the “Should I agree?” part of the process. On the other hand, with someone who only lies occasionally and strategically, you’re always guessing. You know that any claim could be true or could be a lie, but there’s not an easy pattern to apply as a mental shortcut. So every time you listen to the occasional liar, your brain is firing on all cylinders in critical thinking mode. It’s exhausting and it leaves you with the feeling that you always have to be skeptical of anything that person says. They can’t be trusted. Not only because they might occasionally lie, but also because they typically tell the truth. And you have to work hard to sort the rare lies from the status quo of truth.
  17. Mattress Mack spoke to my fifth grade class to warn us against the dangers of drugs. Which surely contributed to my abstinence from drugs until late in life, when I finally figured out how awesome drugs are and was like “I can’t believe that dollars-tossing clown in a bed suit talked me out of doing this awesome shit for so long.” So yeah, fuck that guy. He contributed to all the wasted years of sobriety, productivity, and clear-headedness I endured in my youth.
  18. There’s dumb. There’s really dumb. And then, well below even that low bar, there’s baseball player dumb.
  19. He’s built like a candy apple.
  20. Looks Shopped.
  21. There’s a button for that.
  22. If we lived in an honest world, Texas A&M would instead be named “Stupid Motherfucker Academy.”
