  1. do you live inside a Cormac McCarthy novel?
  2. The CA baggage is real. 30 years of right wing media have convinced a sizeable portion of the country that California - a state home to one of every eight Americans, and the cultural, technological, and economic powerhouse of the US - is a failed, crime-ridden hellscape. That said, others should take note that pushing back on Trump and calling out his BS seems to work
  3. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/09/newsoms-favorability-rating-surges-in-california-00681683 Newsom’s favorability rating jumped 10 percentage points over the course of the year, from 46 percent in June to 56 percent this month. The Legislature’s standing improved by 8 points in the same time period, reaching a 53 percent majority. And for the first time since 2021, a slim majority of voters — 51 percent — said, in consecutive months, that California is on the right track. Behind that reversal was more optimism among independent voters and a double-digit confidence boost among Democratic voters, who also reported far higher enthusiasm than their Republican counterparts to vote in the upcoming midterms. That likely reflects the reality of new maps boosting Democrats and shrinking the GOP’s competitiveness. The results paint a picture of a Democratic electorate emerging from the doldrums as its leaders adopt a more aggressive stance toward Trump, culminating in the landslide victory last month of their Proposition 50 redistricting ballot initiative. California Democrats also enjoy support from the independent voters who compose a quarter of the state’s electorate, the poll found. Nearly two-thirds said voter approval of gerrymandered congressional districts was “mostly a good thing,” and a majority said the November special election was worth its $251 million price tag. At the start of the year, legislative Democrats vowed a focus on affordability and Newsom sought a more diplomatic approach toward the White House as the party reeled from crushing election defeats. But that shifted as Trump pursued policies that are anathema to many Californians, from sweeping immigration raids to deep spending cuts. Now Newsom is touting the party’s Prop 50 win, along with Democratic victories across the country last month, as evidence the party is “in its ascendancy.” The governor and other California Democrats are still grappling with stubborn political liabilities. Voters of every affiliation overwhelmingly called the state too expensive — housing in particular. But a plurality of voters and a majority of Democrats said the most important issue facing the country is “political extremism or threats to democracy,” themes Newsom has emphasized as he warns the country is sliding into authoritarianism.
  4. i think he's saying its ok for adults to have sex with children. not sure though.
  5. I had a similar thought... We've seen that the hive minded have a biological imperative to spread. To the point that it seems to consume their every thought and was the driving force behind their every action until the planet had been consumed. Wouldn't it make sense for a different planet - once they've captured every mind on their own planet - to start "seeding" the virus or whatever to the cosmos. Just blasting the formula 24/7 without even knowing if there's a recipient who can pick up on it?
  6. I haven't followed the discussion all that closely, but I don't really understand the "Playoffs have ruined bowls" argument. Pre-playoffs and pre-BCS, the bowls were also meaningless.
  7. Likely to slow to a trickle now that her "supporters" have discovered that she has a mixed-race child.
  8. Hell yeah. Love this thread
  9. I disagree. He's been incredibly good at stanning for a pedophile. 8+ years running.
  10. How can anyone expect him to effectively lead and manage Congress when he's busy with his son, working together to keep themselves from jerking each other off or something like that
  11. I know Sark understands the need to land elite players in the trenches, because he keeps telling us how important it is. And yet....
  12. Maybe I'm missing something, but you're saying there's evidence that had Texas scheduled a G5 team or lowly P4 team for week 1, and won the game, we'd still miss the playoffs? I can't really see how that's possible.
  13. Bottom left corner not doing so hot these days https://kval.com/news/local/home-improvement-actor-and-fiancee-arrested-near-fall-creek
  14. thought for sure it'd be Jack, Jim, and Evan.
  15. Where's a good crusade when you need one?
  16. Fun note on Baylor: I learned today that telling a Baylor fan that they support an institution that covered up Rape results in a permanent ban from /r/CFB So I got that going for me
  17. Based on the offense I watched this year, I don't think intentionally going easy on opposing defenses was part of the problem
  18. Sure! But this is the post that you responded to Hey Nicole, do you know if HEB is open tomorrow? "it might be, but you can't actually think that it being closed would happen if Sark didn't spend his whole offseason doing X, Y, and Z, and not getting a functional Oline."
  19. are you programmed to talk about Sark's offseason regardless of the question or post you are responding to?

    Boycott incoming!
