  1. Well, it seems like they're self-helping to specific performance. People generally are permitted to breach contracts and suffer the consequences.
  2. A couple of observations. Most states did attempt to impose some sort of guardrails with their NIL legislation. Two problems with it though, no clear enforcement mechanism and the lack of uniformity between states. Most federal legislation is an unnecessary one-size-fits solution to problems that probably should be left to the states and is passed as a form of pandering. This is not one of those cases. The new College Sports Commission has only one thing to recommend it and that is that it isn't the NCAA. It's going to have all of the problems that the NCAA has unless it receives some sort of de facto antitrust exemption as a result of being part of a court-ordered settlement. Frankly, I like the idea of the NIL clearinghouse checking NIL deals to make sure they have some bare connection to actual NIL. The reason I like that is that I think UT is going to have an easier time making "realistic" NIL deals than say Texas Tech.
  3. It is an autonomous territory of Denmark. Sounds kind of like Puerto Rico to the US.
  4. Well, UA isn't as large as UT, but I kind of had mixed feelings about high school friends and acquaintances at UT. 50+ of my high school class went to UT. I never hardly saw anyone I didn't want to see. Half of em flunked out inside a year anyway.
  5. I believe the issue is that ACA plans are at least partially state administered and funded and, for the most part, coverage stops at state borders.

    It will be a Common Law Trust.
  7. This more than any other single thing disqualifies that rotten, indecent piece of shit from a leadership position in our country. And that's even before you get to all the post-hoc lying and re-writing of history.
  8. Goddamn I think this spell corrected that after I typed it once in jest.
  9. Kike I said FEES
  10. Yeah, none of these things are going to work. At that age, they don't have the mental flexibility to deal with multiple "tuning" devices and a single screen. About the best you can do is simplify it to one device, preferably the TV itself. And that probably means an Amazon Fire TV or Roku.
  11. So, if our enemies didn't have Mar A Lago under audio, video, electromagnetic surveillance (and they'd be stupid not to), they do now.

    Duh, just take a fee. Management, license, whatever. FEES! Reeeeee taaaaaaayyyyyy ner.
  13. I've dealt with vets associated with Vetcor, Thrive, and VCA (actually owned by Mars) and have been generally pleased. The first two were local vet practices that mostly retain their local character. VCA is the big vet hospital company in Dallas, and more or less where you go to see a specialist. You can sense a sort of "corporate ness," but the vets themselves are good. It's not the same shitty PE experience that comes with "service" companies, HVAC, plumbing, electrical.
  14. Assuming that's true, they probably held off an "extraction" or other coup-type operation pending some kind of plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela, which seems conspicuously lacking here. And that whole pesky international law thing. Just encanting "Maduro bad" is some sixth-grade foreign policy.
  15. I see as much downside as upside.
  16. Are prep school guys named Christian from tony NYC burbs really gritty? He looks the part. Has a rather declasse surname, though.
  17. No one is "glazing" Russia or China. Long experience has taught us the regime change without pretty exquisite post-coup planning opens us up to local resentment and for our enemies to make further inroads in supporting our opponents, or people who may become our opponents. This is showing all the earmarks of a hasty, poorly thought out even if militarily well-executed feat of clumsy international "diplomacy."
  18. Oh, I don't even think it's even about oil reserves. That's a post-hoc justification. It's just an ego-fit by Trump that has some vague connections to something "good," and a whole lot of pretty bad outcomes. He took out a world leader, quien es mas macho?
  19. AFAIK, Fred is one of the good guys despite the errors in that post.
  20. Was wondering for a bit how chicken killed thousands of Americans.
  21. Ain't nothin gonna change. No one actually gives a shit about fraud. What part of performative don't you get?
  22. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/01/05/hegseth-mark-kelly-censure-pentagon-court-martial/88029585007/ According to this, they can't reduce his retirement without a reduction in grade. There is a hearing process for that. Whiskey Pete may be a bit over his skis here. Although I'm sure they think they have it rigged.
  23. Notable somewhat that Sheena has changed from that ludicrous Lionheart sports to a blank site agency. https://www.aicsports.net/
  24. Never thought I'd say this, but bring on Medicare!
  25. I suppose we should add that not guilty by reason of insanity is not the same as an acquittal. In most jurisdictions, those not guilty by insanity are instead committed to mental health treatment facilities for an indeterminate term, for release upon medical assessment that no longer a danger to themselves or society. See, e.g. John Hinkley. So, it's not like they escape "punishment" entirely, and, they are incapacitated for most purposes as if in prison. Prison is a notoriously bad environment for the floridly mentally ill, in terms of the prisoner's well being and that of the prison environment, let alone any conceptions of rehabilitation. I honestly think the definition of insanity for this purpose should be expanded given that it was conceived of long before psychology and psychiatry had reached their current state. That would entail more state hospitals that would probably converge to prison-like conditions. But maybe not. It seems a more humane and rational way to deal with this kind of thing.
