  1. Why not a bike bike or a scooter or motorcycle?
  2. Global elites! Drink! While a global elite goes balls deep in your ass.
  3. Well, to be fair, you did say Sark was a "ticking time bomb" in close proximity to the absence allegation.
  4. The DT link. https://thedailytexan.com/2025/10/28/university-conducts-audit-on-all-curricula/ Ominous: The University needs to have a curriculum that fills gaps in its courses for completeness, Davis said in his speech. He pointed to the School of Civic Leadership, which focuses on civic studies, open discourse and political philosophy, and welcomed its first class this fall, as an example of filling a gap. This is UATX at UT. Gross.
  5. Any time the word/abbreviation NDA comes up in connection with Donald J. Trump, you can rest assured that crimes are being committed.
  6. Man, I gotta say. While relapses happen and are more part of the process of recovery than not part of it, a guy that's a chronic relapser doesn't generally recover from them in a week or a month and certainly not by returning to the lifestyle that seemingly provoked the relapse. For those poor souls, things tend to go off the rails and stay that way for long stretches of time. Think Darryl Strawberry.
  7. That's actually a river.
  8. Some good news, for now, on the court front. The 9th Circuit has vacated its ruling allowing Guard in Portland for an en banc hearing. In the 9th Circuit, because it's so huge, en banc doesn't initially mean the entire court. A random drawing of 11 judges constitutes an en banc panel. The first en banc panel declined to rehear, but they asked the entire court, 31 judges, to rehear it and they voted to do so.

  10. I think one of the keys with OU was the overaggressive front seven. Tre forced them to commit to a gap and backed out and went further out or somewhere else
  11. That started as a ripoff of The New School in NYC. Commendable notion, I suppose, but has been overrun by dumbdumb state politics for a good while.
  12. Growing up poor and then getting money has the potential to screw up a lot of things, especially if that money comes fast. If you're smart/lucky, it's just overindulging your kids.
  13. I think it's pretty clear there will be no public announcement. The capitulation will go on in the background.
  14. That the rumors have been around a long time or are getting talked about more now does not relieve them of the status as rumors. I have been clued in on the source(s) on one of the rumors, and, it's better than "made up of the whole cloth," but is still unverified rumor.
  15. To be fair what Pancho said was the Republican Party has the final word on its own primaries and nominees, and so can ostensibly put forward a candidate that is ineligible for office.
  16. I guess at some point we have to acknowledge that all the vibes turn to shit and the investments are all shorts and then we have a depression.
  17. Some of the private party lawsuits included Walmart. Although this is performative as shit, he's really just bandwagoning on this other shit, that's several years old. https://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/MDL/22md3043
  18. Well, it seems the office contracted this out to a PI litigator. Be interesting to see the terms. Paxton has a habit of farming stuff out, like his whistleblower defense, to private firms on pretty luxe terms. https://www.texastribune.org/2025/07/24/ken-paxton-private-lawyers-texas-cases/
  19. Probably not, no. People can agree to all kinds of stupid shit, but that seems unlikely. According to this, https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/sec/2025/10/26/brian-kelly-buyout-contract-details-lsu-football-fired/86917992007/ LSU owes Kelly 90% of his remaining base salary and supplemental compensation, plus a pro-rated "longevity compensation" bonus to be paid on July 15, 2026. Kelly's contract was set to run through Dec. 31, 2031 or through the Tigers' final game of the 2031 college football season. Kelly has a "duty to mitigate" clause in his contract, though, which means he must pursue other jobs for as long as he receives money from LSU. So, Kelly would have had to wait six years to collect the entire buyout, which was reduced by 10% from his actual compensation, and was subject to a duty to mitigate, so a $20M lump sum probably makes some sense.
  20. The market is not the economy broadly. It's the greedhead's segment of the economy and as long as they can figure out a way to make money off it, the market keeps rising.
  21. There doesn't have to be offset language, that's kind of built into the law. But having a precise offset clause could help. If there was a discounted buyout, you can be relatively certain that it releases or forecloses future litigation over offsets or mitigation. The general scheme of contracts is this: if a hiring party fires someone other than for cause, they owe the balance due under the contract. And that means payable according to the terms of the contract, monthly, biweekly, whatever, over time. This is offset by a duty to mitigate damages by the fired party, to reasonably find other, equivalent employment, the compensation for which offsets the amount due under the payout. All of that can be altered by the contract. That is, no balance due owed (unlikely); something less (specific amounts) than the balance due is owed; or the entire balance due is owed ("guaranteed") without offset or mitigation. The coach's main incentive to agree to anything less than guaranteed or the common-law scheme of balance due less current salary (duty to mitigate), is to get a lump sum certain and/or to avoid litigation over the duty to mitigate.
  22. That's some vivisection math, right there. Assuming Amazon keeps the $0.30, which is best case for them, they fuck over the population of a small city.
  23. So the case was filed in Panola County. I would think it would be removable to federal court in the Eastern District, Marshall Division, which is not notoriously Trumpy. With the state being the plaintiff, I'm not sure it can be MDL'ed with the other suits, that are all private plaintiffs, as far as I can tell. But given that the MDL apparently is within the 2nd Circuit, it appears to take the case out of Trump never Neverland.
