Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
This x 1000. I have no clue when other Americans started using American exceptionalism to justify failure instead of glorifying success. What the fuck has happened here? No other country is exactly like ours so it's OK for us to fail miserably while every other developed country has handled it better than ours and plenty of developing countries where 20 bucks a day in salary is considered pretty damn good somehow handled it better than we did. How is it not a sign of a catastrophic failure in everyone's eyes here that we have basically been embarrassing ourselves consistently on this issue? How is "we're different" a valid excuse in your eyes? How is it an excuse for every other failure? American exceptionalism is supposed to be the reason we're better than everywhere else. More freedom of speech (meaning the government doesn't come after you, very weak slander/libel protections, etc.), better science (more Nobel Prizes, HiCi papers, etc.), better universities (more top 10, 50, 100 universities in the world), cultural center of the world (Hollywood, blue jeans, music, etc.), innovation center of the world, space center of the world, best governmental institutions in the world (you may scoff, but until now CDC and NIH were viewed as unparalleled by the rest of the world before this, the Fed was viewed as the most powerful and effective central bank, NASA is NASA, etc.), etc. and now somehow we went from winning WWI, WWII, the Cold War, beating Japan economically when we thought they may overtake us, to where we are today. How is anyone here pretending this isn't a gigantic, catastrophic failure and acting as thought it was always some fait accompli?

All Things Brisket
This x 1million. So far I've made brisket mi goreng, brisket tacos, brisket breakfast tacos, brisket scrambles, brisket potato salad, brisket nachos, brisket grilled cheese (or melts for any pedants out there), brisket (both cold cuts and toasted) on toasted ciabatta or brioche with various aiolis (adding things like shishito peppers, banana peppers, and other chilis work wonders), brisket quesadillas, and brisket fried rice. And yes adding brisket in front of every dish was absolutely necessary be causing adding brisket it a dish makes it new and better than it did before it had brisket and it deserves that oomph in the name. God bless brisket leftovers.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
Would be a great get. Being beat in the depth chart under Jeudy, Ruggs, Smith, and Waddle isn't that bad of a knock and dude has ridiculous numbers. Graduated fast which means he ain't stupid at least and has good work ethic. We have him for two years. Could be a solid depth piece worst case and a potential contender for a starting role likely. Best case we see what the #88 prospect in the country from three years ago is supposed to look like after three years of S&C at Bama and a few months of training with our guys this year and a whole 'nother year for next year.

Brennan Eagles taking a stand
Honestly at this point I assume if there is any dispute regarding use of force by a cop the cop lied at this point. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice on me, fool me however many times in the past 10 years or so we've had a video prove the cops lied, won't get fooled again.

Sell. Me. A Mattress.
I have the Saatva and I like it quite a bit. I had the Nectar for a year and swapped it out. It was fine, but the Saatva is nicer.

2020 NFL DRAFT
I'll give him credit for taking the loss in stride and laughing about it 4 years later. Good for him. It was also a great documentary (partially because of the end result)

Jimbo 2021: Meemaw's Got a Brand New Bag
Tbh I agree if they can't go at least 10-2 after spending 75 million on a coach they should just quit football. Doesn't get easier for them ever than this.

Realignment talk not going away
Any chance we could kick out WVU and Iowa State/Kansas State for Cal and Stanford? WVU is too far east for the Pac 12 schools we're adding and given a choice I'm taking them instead. We could also kick out the other of Iowa State/Kansas State for Colorado. Most of the schools in the Big XII should be G5 schools imo so it would be to get rid of the shitters. Also Cal and Stanford are Olympic sports elites along with the SoCal schools and us so that would be great.
