    The average middle class non union worker in this country is going to look at this deal and look at their own 3% cost of living adjustment and support for the UAW is going to publically tank. Especially when their new and used car prices sky rocket again. Yes, the corporate greed is alive and present but so is union greed. Holy crap this country's economy is FUBAR'd if the only people at the table are greedy, amoralistic adults.

    They have some old school football fullback type player (Pendergrass) who played well against sisters of the poor. He's a smart between or off the tackles player. Takes good angles and actually has some speed. Texas needs to mind the gaps. I say this because of some of the Alabama and Wyoming issues Texas would have off tackle. Wyoming Oline was very good early at being two yards down field about a half second after the ball was snapped. I don't think Baylor's o-line will be as good as Wyoming's. However, Richardson out isn't as big of a deficit as it appears.

    Because Lowell loves to hear himself talk and doesn’t watch half the game.

    So you get to use the representativeness heuristic to throw all the Christians under the bus with the bigots? You said "many" but you pretty much included all in your statements prior. You weaken your arguments when you use hyperbole.

    I'm done with all of that and glad that we moved my kid out the weekends before all the apartments dumped the students out for two weeks at the end of July. Feel sorry for the parents and students moving in during 105 degrees. Protip for parents - find a condo/apartment your student likes and hope the rent stays reasonable until they graduate.

    Narrator: They don't. When Jesus is asked, “What is the greatest commandment?” He doesn’t hesitate to answer, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself” Mark 12:30-31. The "christians" some of you reference think that bejeweled crosses on a canvas hat and some Jesusy stickers are all you need to be a faithful follower.

    Yeah, some of Sark's game management at away games (especially second half) made me ask if Greg Davis would have been better. Maybe we out talent some teams this year, maybe Sark gets an epiphany. Maybe they can hire a 10 year old kid who is good at Madden to call plays in the second half.

    We're a sensationalistic, voyeuristic society. Popularity of shows like Big Brother, Love Island and The Bachelor/ette series baffle me. The "not real" lady should have never been doxxed. Who gives a crap how much her house cost? Mental breakdown/illness doesn't have an income cut-off and our leaders, and society in general, allows us to have a mental healthcare desert (at least in Texas) so even for those with means, it can be difficult to access mental health services. I'm not sure how many more "episodes" like this happen now versus 10 years ago but we all have a portable video device on us 24/7 so it's all going out into accessible media. But anxiety and depression among those under 40 has rapidly increased.

    Did the video look anything like this?

    It's likely this "Arcturus" strain amped up to spread by July 4th travel. It doesn't seem to be any more virulent than the previous Omicron strains but those with weakened immune systems and the completely naive (infants and young children and people living under a rock) seem to be having a more pronounced symptom set. Saw a 4 month old with it last night. 104 fever and miserable but no pulmonary complications. Young kids with previous Covid immunity and healthy immune systems have mild URI symptoms for a couple a days then shrug this thing off like a common cold.

    Don’t forget road rage. But that weather would probably make me that way too.

    America, Where my needs and comfort are more important than yours. I’m thinking of blasting Dead Kennedys the next time some twit starts watching something full blast within one row of me. I’ve got a decently loud small bluetooth speaker that could add to the obnoxiousness.

    Jury is out. Possibly. Natural immunity appears to last and at least mitigate Covid symptoms in the younger healthy population. The positive numbers (at least symptomatic) skew heavily in the older than 50 population without recent infection or boosters. This is pretty much been the case with every variant. I would be surprised we would see ha many young children with significantly symptomatic Covid unless we have a radical variant mutation.

    There’s rotavirus and norovirus running through Texas and much more likely to mess up your GI tract than Covid.

    I'm pretty sure Texas was responsible for at least a third of that record.

    Hopefully, Erica Marsh as quoted above isn't as vapid as her tweet comes across. She maybe example one of our failing education system. The systemic and largely socioeconomic barriers to advancement in this country will never be fixed on policies that matriculate and promote at the adult level (college and the workplace). Until we put our effort into creating equity from early childhood and equality from childhood into and throughout adulthood, then we will never fix the problem. The issue with creating a birth to adult fair educational and employment system is that it would take a couple of generations to see the outcome and elected government officials need votes in the next election cycle and corporations need profits next week. And it would require the general American populace to be less greedy and more communal. We are going the wrong way.

    See, now you suckers should have let that hole in the ozone stay open so the heat could escape at night. Maybe chlorofluorocarbons aren't so bad.

    I guess "news" has been diluted or sacrificed for expediency and comfort for the reader. Echo chamber level crap. Mainstream/mass journalism has been dead for a couple of decades. We can thank ourselves for that.
