  1. Can someone explain the sombrero thing to me? I'm assuming the answer is "It doesn't make sense but humorless fucks gonna humorless fucks".
  2. That girl (Stover?) is sexy and was all horned up, so anything other than Grasso being gay will fall flat and seem unrealistic, imo.
  3. Gynecologist who treats his neck FTMFW.
  4. I kept thinking about the concept of mimetic rivalry as I watched clips of the right's reaction to EscalatorGate. It started off with fairly typical MAGA outrage, but as more and more people joined in, the outrage got worse and worse ("we should bomb the UN and Trump should put piece of the rubble on the Resolute Desk!"), as if they were competing for a title. Thiel explained that he was "betting on mimetic rivalry" when he invested in Facebook - people have called him the founder of the Like button. Anyway, I think some of you will find it as interesting as I did. Pretty sure that was Jesse Waters on Fox saying that we should bomb the UN (although obviously not the only one). In prime time. You know, what every maga idiot you know calls “the news”.
  5. Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Miller, etc. all speak in these vague generalities that make no sense. "You're warriors now, not like before!" (what? What does that mean?) "You are free to arrest criminals now!" (Huh? Like they weren't before?) "My political enemy should be in jail!" (why? For what? Care to fill us in on what actual fucking reason you think this?) etc. If people I voted for started talking like that, I would probably question it. I don't know, maybe that's just me.
  6. "Ohhhhh! We're supposed to put them on the criminals! Gotcha, thanks Stephen. Didn't know."
  7. Because it was the biggest story in the country for a week or so, led to the Kimmel story which became the biggest story, etc. You would need to have basically zero communication with anything happening outside your home to avoid it. Which sounds kind of awesome right now tbh.
  8. A woman in my office had never heard of Charlie Kirk….. two weeks after he was killed.
  9. I spend way too much time here and I don't remember that argument being made. But comparatively, to the crew in charge now selling out and destroying America in order to enrich themselves as much as possible? Sure, might as well.
  10. Imagine watching all of this the last nine months and still being in the republicans' corner.
  11. Mosley was supposedly practicing last week and looked great (9.95). And more supposedly, Wisner could have played in any of the last three games if we actually needed him to, but he's questionable for this one?
  12. They absolutely need to get Hakeem Jeffries off tv. I can't believe he has ever convinced anyone of anything in his life. "Rep. Jeffries! The bombs are falling on American cities! Trump has declared himself Emperor! He's purging all democrats from government! What should we do?" "Well, (yawn), first I just want to say, slowly and with tired eyes, that I don't think all of Donald Trump's policies are necessarily what the American people need right now...."
  13. Hegseth saying a billion times different forms of "war fighters", "warriors", "Department of War", etc. All I could think of was
  14. Agree this feels like one of those Vandy/Arky/aggy games from last year where we were in control the entire time but won by 7-10. I’ll go 23-14.
  15. I don’t say this lightly: Round one, pick one. Out of everyone.
  16. When they bumped up the price of tickets, didn’t they make a big deal out of how prices would then be cut in half? I’m one of those “only goes on Texas OU and spends the vast majority of the time sipping on the cheap beer and people watching” variety. I don’t think I spend any more money than I used to but that’s on just a few beers, a corn dog, and a pirate ride.
  17. Well, the president did say the other day that he wants to use US cities as "training grounds" for our troops.
  18. I rewatched that game last night. He looked great for most of it, but the first drive was some WTF. I had forgotten that watching live had me thinking "Oh god he's Cougar'd himself from Top Gun and we might have to make a switch". But yeah, he turned things around quickly and looked like the same Arch from last season.
  19. Probably. Maybe they can laugh about it the next time they're able to get together. I forget, was this before or after Trump accused him of committing treason?
  20. I started to say something like "I wonder how Obama would feel about a third term", but I'm sure this Supreme Court would nix that while also greenlighting a Trump third term.
  21. I know the answer why but think how absurd it is that Trump wasn't impeached over that plane. Nor ordering his AG to arrest people he doesn't like, for revenge. Is impeachment just completely off the table now for the next 3.5 years?
  22. This would make a great novel, if it weren't actually happening in front of us. A crazy President and Sec Def assemble all these dudes together and proceed to show them all just how crazy they are. Assembled military dudes are then left to decide exactly how they should, um, react.
  23. Like if Cheers or something had just never gone off the air.
