Updated the Trump Import Taxes tracker: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/07/28/business/economy/trump-tariff-tracker.html?unlocked_article_code=1.hU8.7Kxt.WHZ02eWn8eVZ&smid=url-share (Providing a gift link since there are some interactive elements.) Some observations: Looking at Europe, Switzerland must be like, "What the fuck did we do?" (39%) The same goes for India. (50%) The reason for high taxes on Brazilian items, though, should be apparent. (50%) It's wild that the taxes Americans will have to pay on imported Canadian goods are among the very highest. (35%) Tax rates on goods from our biggest trade partners are: Canada: 35% China: 30% Mexico: 25% Europe: 15% QUESTIONS: Has anyone seen an updated estimate of the average tax rate on all imports Americans will have to pay from around the world? Until now, I hadnβt thought about the potential effects on oil imports. Are they somehow exempt? Because we get about half of all our imported oil from Canada. Canada: 35% tax rate Mexico: 25% Saudi Arabia: 10% Venezuela: 15% Brazil: 50% (interesting to compare the difference between the import tax rates from Venezuela and Brazil) https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/how-much-crude-oil-does-us-import-by-country-2025-01-31/

This is at least the second time the US ambassador has been summoned over this regimeβs subterfuge. I totally missed this story about US spying on Greenland from back in May: https://archive.is/3RKbH

I don't know about that, but we were good, played loose, and had fun. It felt like we were doing something a little different from the rest of the SWC at the time as a drum corps/scramble band. Sure, if our arms were twisted, we could put on a more traditional "Yeehaw, I'm a patriotic Texan" show to please our own conservative blue-hairs, but we had a lot more fun playing the Spanish inspired stuff (because it's actually good music that we liked) or doing those special flashlight shows where they'd turn off the stadium lights for big games (no idea if they still do that). Very, very few of us were music majors, but at the same time, there were some great musicians. ZIT also always brought it and knew how to party after games. The overall philosophy at the time was to have fun and put on an entertaining show, because we were mostly just recent HS graduates getting our PE credits filled. We all knew the Aggie band was a joke and made fun of them for doing the exact same show at every game, year in and year out, with half its "musicians" not actually playing instruments since we were down on the field and could see it easily. Everybody loved Rice, though, because they're awesome, but we all also had great respect for the musicianship of the Showband of the Southwest (even if they're a little boring). Everyone else in the SWC was totally forgettable. As a trumpet player, this was my all-time favorite song to play. Of course, I'm also a Longhorn who's loved Texas since Earl played, and with this being a Texas board, I'll post this and drop the band talk:
-
As the legend goes, a TV announcer said before a Tech-Aggie game in 1992 that Lubbock had "nothing but Texas Tech football and a tortilla factory." I was in the Tech band for the '91-'92 seasons and didn't go to any games in fall '93, the semester I graduated, so the timing lines up, I suppose. Anyway, I never witnessed a tortilla being tossed at a game. The fact that the statement would've prompted students to respond makes sense, because when I was on campus, AnM was despised much more than Texas fans probably realize, and to have to suffer such a slight in comparison to College Station at the time would've truly been insulting.

Their silence applies to a significant number of previously held, supposedly strong ideological positions that seem to have all vanished into the ether now that those opinions are no longer convenient.

I love college football.

Ames is Derry/Londonderry; Manhattan is off the coast of Dingle and Tralee; and this game is being played in Milan, MO.

I donβt disagree with any of this. The Zia is iconic and immediately recognizable as a New Mexico brand, and, well, turquoise is also synonymous with the state. The unis are great, but I still think they look like the Dolphins.
-
I like them, but they sure look like off-shade Dolphins uniforms. The Zia is even reminiscent of that orange sun that rings the Dolphin on their helmet. Itβs kind of like squinting at the K-State / Iowa State game and seeing the Cowboys / Redskins, like you pointed out in the Farmageddon thread.

Citizens apparently also have no due process, except for the luck of the draw. Again, we are seeing US citizens also being rounded up in this bullshit. How about you go get yourself detained for a few days in Alligator Alcatraz and come back and report on how you feel about due process being denied to Americans because of their accents or skin color? Edit: Your random ClowardβPiven reference is bizarre.
