  1. What about before 1972 when the moratorium began?
  2. You're right. That Clarksville newspaper article isn't the full story. Here's the original Xitter post: https://xcancel.com/DripChud/status/1965924660236923329#m First, notice the date. It was posted on September 10, last Wednesday, the day that Kirk was murdered, and I have to assume the screenshot was taken on that date. Unfortunately, I cannot find Darren V Michael's Facebook page where this was supposedly posted. I did find his Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/darrenvmichael/), and that post doesn't show there. So now, second, notice the "6d" under Darren V Michael's name. What does that tell you? Well, it tells you that Darren V Michael posted that meme 6 DAYS BEFORE Kirk was murdered, and so therefore, it wasn't in reference to Charlie Kirk. Folks, take a moment to scroll through @DripChud's Xitter account (https://xcancel.com/DripChud), and tell me what you see. If you prefer to give traffic clicks to a website that promotes actual fucking Nazis, you can also visit the original https://x.com/dripchud?lang=en.
  3. That game next week is looming large.
  4. @Sgt Hulk The other link is still on the other game. This one is good.
  5. Lightning delay in Lubbock. The front is moving in, so it might be a while. Oregon State had the ball first, went three and out after two false starts. Tech was moving the ball and on the Oregon State 45 when the delay was called.
  6. I don't think so. The closest to what you're describing might be Rice, but they're not exactly a competitive rival, especially one that Texas plays annually.
  7. It could be for recruiting/exposure reasons up in the northeast. Dunno. It could be that one of his parents worked at Reese AFB and got relocated to Tinker.

  9. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/climate/epa-emissions-data-collection-halt.html The Environmental Protection Agency moved on Friday to stop requiring thousands of polluting facilities to report the amount of heat-trapping greenhouse gases that they release into the air. The E.P.A. proposal would end requirements for thousands of coal-burning power plants, oil refineries, steel mills and other industrial facilities across the country. The government has been collecting this data since 2010 and it is a key tool to track carbon dioxide, methane and other gases that are driving climate change. The Friday announcement comes as the Trump administration has systematically erased mentions of climate change from government websites while slashing federal funding for research on global warming. β€œAlongside President Trump, E.P.A. continues to live up to the promise of unleashing energy dominance that powers the American dream,” Lee Zeldin, the E.P.A. administrator, said in a statement. β€œThe Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program is nothing more than bureaucratic red tape.” Mr. Zeldin said that ending the program would save American businesses up to $2.4 billion in compliance costs. The New York Times could not independently verify that claim; representatives for E.P.A. did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Critics said the proposal could hobble federal efforts to fight climate change, since the government cannot reduce emissions if it cannot measure how much is generated and where it is produced. β€œWith this move, they’re taking away the practical and material capacity of the federal government to do the basic elements of climate policymaking,” said Joseph Goffman, who led the E.P.A.’s air office during the Biden administration. For the past 15 years, the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program has collected data from about 8,000 of the country’s largest industrial facilities. That data has helped guide numerous decisions on federal policy and has been shared with the United Nations, which has required developed countries to submit tallies of their emissions. In addition, private companies often rely on the program’s data to demonstrate to investors that their efforts to cut emissions are working. And communities often use it to determine whether local facilities are releasing air pollution that threatens public health. The E.P.A. proposal would not directly eliminate emissions reporting requirements for certain oil and gas facilities such as pipelines that transport natural gas. That’s because those reports were required by Congress as part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. Instead, the E.P.A. wants to allow those specific oil and gas facilities to postpone emissions reporting until 2034. Congressional Republicans already delayed a related requirement for the facilities to pay a fee on their methane emissions until 2034. Representatives for oil and gas industry trade and lobbying groups, including the American Petroleum Institute, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The proposal follows a rapid-fire series of steps by the Trump administration to weaken or dismantle environmental protections. In July, the E.P.A. moved to repeal the scientific finding that underpins the government’s legal authority to combat climate change. And in recent weeks, the White House has directed a half-dozen agencies to thwart the country’s offshore wind industry, a key source of emissions-free electricity. Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, the United Nations has required all developed countries to provide data on their domestic emissions each year. But the United States missed an April deadline to submit its data, and Mr. Trump began the yearlong process of withdrawing from the Paris pact on his first day back in office.
  10. "Adios. This is my last post. You people are sick." -- Frank Drebin (fka Johnny Sack)
  11. "There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs...we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus...which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence".
  12. Man, Squid Billy ain't gonna do shit but sit in that cell and watch each and every one of those fuckers get kilt off. His big ol' eye is feastin' on some serious eye candy. This is some kind of cinematic spectacle for that creepy motherfucker.
  13. I'd never heard that particular slur before.
  14. I see it as a turning point, too, in making American politics that much dumber and uglier. FOX News didn't yet seem to have a whole lot of sway at the time or even leading up to it, but that channel really took off in the aftermath with all its plastic patriotism and sloganeering. It was a real catalyst for mainstreaming Christian nationalism and revved up the hate engine.

  16. Explain how citing Leviticus 20:13 and calling it "God's perfect law" is peaceful.
  17. Gotta admit that the end of the episode left me chuckling at all the stupid decisions, and then closing with that wonky-eyed sheep staring into the audience’s souls while fading to black. Felt like dark, dark comedy.
  18. Oh, I’m mournful, alright, but not for that asshole. I’m mourning for what his life, and now his death, mean for our country.

  20. Those frosty margs at 45th & Lamar sure are nice and tasty.
  21. I said it in one of the threads: We've got boiling pots calling steaming kettles black. Meanwhile, our feudal techlords and billionaires are laughing as they divide us citizens into subjects and serfs. That's the plan.
