  1. I have been sick with respiratory illnesses twice in the past two months, once in December, getting over another now. That's never happened to me. My wife came down with something a couple weeks ago. Hit her pretty hard. She actually went to an urgent care and tested negative for both flu and COVID. All three instances we never passed anything to one another. Rough season for sure.
  2. There will be elections, but any state that goes GOP for governor, SOS, or on the Supreme Court is never going back at this point. Look at NC, the GOP retook the state Supreme Court and is now in the process of throwing out votes to give a Republican a seat they lost. This is why the Democratic holds in the 2022 midterms were so important. Hold key Governor, AG, SOS, and Supreme Court positions in WI, MI, PA, AZ, and NV in 2026 and you live to fight another day. The path to 270 at least exists in 2028. Lost them and it's over.
  3. Trump is a symptom, not a disease. Always has been. We voted for this. Beyond that most direct explanation, American Christianity and oligarchs have cooperated on the basis of their shared interest in subjugating the broader nation at multiple points throughout American history, we're just living in the modern adaptation of that.
  4. Are you under the impression Chinese intelligence is having a copy of the NYT delivered so they can get the scoop?
  5. I understand they lack political power right now but absolutely agree with you. They should be at the steps at not one but every federal agency getting cameras and smartphones focused on them, shouting about the security of Americans personal data and the unchecked actions of a man no one voted for. Fuck it, they should get out on TikTok and start accusing Elon of stealing people's tax refunds and having sex with his little college goons because it can't be proven wrong and will spread like wildfire. They should constantly be referring to Elon as President Musk to antagonize the child in office and drive a wedge between them. They should be flooding the White House every day with requests to schedule a meeting with President Musk. They should be going out all over the country and highlighting the sick kids and seniors who can no longer afford medication because of Trump's rollback of Medicare/Medicaid drug pricing caps. They should be highlighting important infrastructure projects, health initiatives, etc. that are now derailed due to federal reviews. Companies that stand to be devastated by tarrifs. They should be drawing attention to the shocking draining of a reservoir in CA that is going to turbofuck agriculture in the summer. All the things that touch people's lives. And they should be suing the everloving shit out of the Trump administration. I know this doesn't really matter because they're clearly not going to listen to the courts but it's important to fight on that front. Make them go through discovery and depositions and get everything on the record. Make GOP judges support this.
  6. If there was an unsecured email sent from the CIA to the White House, all of those parties read it before the NYT even knew about it.
  7. Assaults on abortion rights, trans rights, etc. have always been about subjugation of women. There is no other logical conclusion. To suggest otherwise is willful ignorance, outright bad faith, or alarming stupidity.
  8. Elon Musk is 100% having sex with at least one of these kids and that needs to go viral.
  9. The US taking over Gaza to turn it into a resort is the second thing from this admin I didn't have on my bingo card. Again, maybe that's on me. I don't think Gaza protest votes swung the election, but I do hope they are happy.
  10. Totally unrelated I'm sure, this is the median voter.
  11. Has anyone ever seen Anastasis and Nico Harrison in the same room?
  12. The DOGE stunt actually turning out to be Elon Musk just holing up with a squad of 19 year old college dudes and going on an agency-by-agency crime spree is pretty much the only thing I haven't completely expected out of this admin so far. Maybe that's on me. It's hilarious to me that our resident aggy posters love to throw around the phrase "unelected bureaucrat" as a boogeyman but are cool with all of this because orange man say so. We've crossed the Rubicon into full banana republic territory.
  13. Not mixing business and family relationships/friendships is a pretty good general rule.
  14. the best people It remains to be seen whether their incompetence will ultimately enhance or mitigate the disaster, but it is clear we're not dealing with a competent bunch (shocker)
  15. I really do hate the owner equivalent rent stat. It's been a pet wonky rant of mine for a while. CPI absolutely lags on rents. Private sector data shows rents have been more or less flat nationally (some markets up, some down, based mostly on how much of a supply surge has been experienced locally) for like 18 months. It's only now just starting to tick up meaningfully above 0.0 and probably won't really ramp up until we get toward the end of this year.
  16. Some of y'all have gotten used to playing a bunch of upperclassmen on the OL/DL and forgotten what the physical gap between 21 and 18 looks like on the lines. It wasn't that long ago we were on the wrong side of that. The Ohio State transfer has a good athletic profile, worked for years under a top tier DL coach, saw some limited depth snaps on a loaded defense, and was in the mix for more there next year. That's a take every time. You want to bring Terry & Co - if any of them demonstrate physical readiness to play - along like you could with Collin Simmons; who by the way, is an absolute freak and very much an exception to the rule. You don't want to be counting them as foundational pieces from the outset.
  17. Also worth noting that at least in WA, the I-5 corridor from Olympia to the Canadian border, including areas outside the Seattle MSA, is pretty blue; as is the Olympic peninsula (weighted toward the eastern portion but that's where people live). Bellingham, Kitsap County, Mt Vernon, Olympia, Port Angeles, etc. Tertiary cities that pad the margin. Seattle MSA sets the floor as the blue state even if everywhere else went red but it's the rest of Western WA that cancels out the rural areas and makes it really blue. Obviously micro level the trend is still cities = blue, rurals = red, and that's true in eastern WA too. South of Olympia on I-5 until Vancouver is basically the south with more white people in my limited experience lol
  18. I'm not getting at a political reference (they're obviously intertwined), I'm talking about the idea that long term rates can be shrugged off. They index most of the industry.
  19. Arch is probably going to make some absurd plays and head scratching mistakes in pursuit of a few more. I'm excited to see what the offense looks like with a credible vertical threat. But really next season's result is directly correlated to how well we shore up the interior lines in the wake of major talent/experience departures on both sides of the ball. The next seven months are going to be lots of circular discussion that ultimately lands there.
  20. This is a hell of a take in the... *checks notes* Real estate thread.
  21. He referred to Biden as the President. Trump is another cuck that admits Biden won in 2020.
  22. Y'all are getting sucked in by the political futureman and that's on you at this point.
  23. What the Texags did I just read?
  24. I'm glad the Walmart family doesn't care about college football.
  25. Going beyond any value judgment on the larger policy, the idea that POTUS can simply hand wave away appropriations passed through the legislative process and already awarded to various projects around the country is obviously very bad on just a basic, functioning society level. Welcome to the clown show boys.
