Not too surprisingly, Holgorsen is a good coach. In the last two weeks, the Nebraska has demonstrated they can execute his offense well against (vastly) inferior talent. No punts in two weeks. One turnover. No negative yardage plays last week. Pretty clean penalty-wise. Sure, it's against shitty competition, but it's been a while since Nebraska has executed well against shitty competition. To me, the biggest positive note is that the second team has come and continued to operate at a high level. It's a well coached squad, up and down the chart, and that is a credit to Holgorsen. The big questions are 1)how much of a talent-delta is there to the top 25 or top 10, 2) how well the offense can execute against better d-lines and blitz packages. Defensively, the missed tackles are my biggest concern. The team seems to swarm to the ball well, but missing tackles against will kill them against talented backs and mobile quarterbacks. I don't know if Nebraska should beat Michigan, but I would take the over. (UM is a 2.5 point favorite with a 45.5 point o/u.)

I did have a post on Facebook that I was not going to mourn or celebrate Kirk - that he was just an average dweeb who will be replaced easily. I thought about taking it down. Then I thought if that kind of post gets me fired in September 2025, it's very unlikely I was going to make it through this Presidency anyway. I wouldn't be compromising to save my job, just a few months of it.

At that distance, he would have just beat the shit out of him. -

See Hot Dog's post. The house was owned by Tyler Robinson at the time. Unless Tyler is a jr, or he bought the house when he was 16, or someone bought him the house, that ain't him. -

"I think very good." He even compliments himself when asked if he is grieving. "Nobody has mourned as good as I have. Very efficient. Many are saying I went through the all stages in record time. My Uncle went to MIT."- 4020 replies

2 x 24 =48. Or 2+2 =4, 4+4 = 8. Math geek, bordering on obsessive-compulsive. Or, more likely, just more random shit to squint at while trying to find meaning. -

I'm curious if he ever thought he would make it off campus. He may just have assumed there would immediately be swarms of cops and black helicopters closing in. I'm also curious if the gun was registered. The nice thing about this guy being alive is he may actually explain some shit at some point. Not that any of it is very relevant. -

It was 8 years ago. He was 14. It doesn't mean anything. Yep. And once in the afterlife, they spend eternity battling each, just for fun. Hacking the shit out of each all day, drinking mead out of horns all night. That's the super-macho violent paradise they think Charlie fucking Kirk is part of. They think that dweeb is a warrior. They think they are all warriors. -

Gee, I wonder what US company making electric vehicles might benefit from knee-capping Hyundai.

The difference between politicians and activists is that politicians work within the political systems and activists work outside the political system. The Dems lost in the political system in 2024. We lost the Presidency, the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court and numerous state governments. Part of that is because natural biases in the system towards small population states, and part of it is bias the Republicans have installed and are working to increase greatly. The biggest part of it is that Americans are stupid and racist and sexist. I think we have a good chance of regaining ground in 2026, but my hopes wane when looking at the next Presidential election. Still, there is a chance and I will put money on that chance, even if it is a long shot. But Politicians work within the political system and at least for the next 17 months, there is very little they can do there. Activism is the only viable path right now.

No, I don't see a state-sponsored boycott as a consent for a military takeover. If that is sufficient, they were going to do it anyway.

I once used that story as a “values moment” in a management meeting to demonstrate the relationship between commitment and sacrifice. There were no follow-up questions.

I can't possibly be the biggest hater out there.

Actually that was my bad. The race is non-partisan, so it makes more sense to have a party endorsement, so it is clear who is pushed on the slate card, prior to the primary. I'd still prefer the party stays out of it and let the candidates list their own endorsements (from actual people), but I can see where a local party would make an endorsement.
