  1. Top men are on this. Top. Men.
  2. I too posted on the Daily Texan 2018-2025. Pronghorn out front shoulda told ya, disinformation is allowed as long as you're a dumbass
  3. He's a major part of Trump's outreach to genZ, so it stands to reason he would get honors in the transactional way trumpco works
  4. There's too much irony in the context around how he died. He died supporting what he loved
  5. What about transgender mass shooters? I hear they're the real threat
  6. News-wise, the police say they do not have a suspect in custody and the president has announced Kirk's death https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/charlie-kirk-shot-utah-09-10-25#cmfefwck100003b6nd2qwvvis
  7. That old dude was released and the suspect is still at large, according to the police
  8. Y'all do realize multiple democratic lawmakers have been ASSASINATED THIS YEAR? Jesus Christ, Johnny.
  9. It never is, after a shooting eh? Funny how that always goes
  10. This is bad and will be used as a reason for more escalation. Charlie Kirk is not someone I'll be sad to leave this world, seeing as he ushered in much of the social hate we enjoy today, but this is only going to engender more hate and violence.
  11. Lemme know if you ever figure out if tariffs have an effect on the economy, scout
  12. what's wild is the even the nazis supported the idea of a Jewish state. It would give them a place to ship all their jews off to - they came to their "final solution" because they just didn't have anywhere to keep all these pesky jews! The nazis wanted all the Jews out of Europe. The Zionists wanted Jews to move to the Holy Land out of Europe. During Kristallnacht, there were mobs chanting ’Juden raus! Auf nach Palästina!’ (Jews out, out to Palestine) as they destroyed jewish businesses. Something, something, horseshoe theory.
  13. And the COVID-19 pandemic was still in its early stages with a vaccine months away. Cmon man, stop being so willfully obtuse and ignorant. It's not a good bit.
  14. One step further, social media is engineered to pick up on outrage content and amplify it to drive more engagement, and make better margins on microtargeted ads. It's not just people using SM to amplify it, the platforms do it too to goose numbers. The administors mistake that cacophony of shit for people actually caring, when they'll have moved on to the next thing if you just tell them to fuck off. Let that snowball, and you're at the point of the governor and president being led by the nose of social media to do whatever they can be outraged into doing
  15. But the "grown ups" in charge being cowards and kowtowing to the performative outrage certainly is. Bunch of weak cowards like Texas Fight hiding behind their lie of "the executive order is da law, sowwee" rather than owning their hate and/or lack of spine
  16. Oh and an update to the Hyundai plant story - people HAD their papers and were abducted nonetheless https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/10/hyundai-factory-ice-raid-legal-visa The document says that immigration agents from Atlanta “determined that [redacted] entered into the United States in [redacted], with a valid B1/B2 visa and [redacted] was employed at HL-GA Battery Company LLC as a contractor from the South Korean company SFA. From statements made and queries in law enforcement databases, [redacted] has not violated his visa; however, the Atlanta Field Office Director has mandated [redacted] be presented as a Voluntary Departure. [Redacted] has accepted voluntary departure despite not violating his B1/B2 visa requirements.”
  17. Really burning bridges on the international stage, wow
  18. It's pretty goofy, but goddamn getting onto the field for halftime is hard to beat! Lotta fun GAMEDAY traditions to get to relive once a year
  19. Excited for the Alumni Band game this weekend! Definitely stopping by with a buddy again, do I just send a DM to pre-buy a couple tickets?
  20. Dude you're quoting a clearly partisan "anti-woke" organization as some sort of reasonable source. Their website has a hotline to "blow the whistle on DEI". I thought pronghorn was banned?
  21. More contemporaneous reporting that make it seem like this is really an under the table deal full of fuckery: (reposting from the NBA subreddit) https://www.thestar.com/sports/raptors/inside-kawhi-leonard-s-bizarre-list-of-secret-demands-from-raptors-and-how-they-line/article_9f1b0398-0ebd-4193-bc06-798efda95023.html Key passages: But multiple sources with knowledge of Toronto’s contract negotiations with Leonard in 2019 told the Star that Leonard’s uncle and representative, Dennis Robertson, made demands that line up almost perfectly with what Leonard reportedly got from Aspiration. According to those sources, who were granted anonymity in order to speak freely about the negotiations, Robertson’s list was long, and absurd. It included a trade for George, which featured an exorbitant price tag. It included a slice of ownership of the Toronto Maple Leafs, which Robertson was told was impossible. But two details stand out, in retrospect. One, Robertson asked for ownership stakes in outside companies: not just the Leafs, which he seemed to believe was separate, but with other companies with whom MLSE had a relationship. And two, the Raptors were told they needed to match at least $10 million per year in extra sponsorship income. Teams are allowed to introduce players to team sponsors; teams cannot negotiate deals, and MLSE was aware of that fact. But it didn’t end there. As one source put it, when told about all the corporate sponsors in Toronto who would be happy to have Leonard as a pitchman, his camp said, “We don’t want to do anything.” Raptors representatives said any sponsor would want to shoot ads or arrange appearances; Robertson reiterated Leonard didn’t want to do anything for the money. That’s when the Raptors realized Leonard wasn’t asking to be introduced to Toronto’s lucrative corporate community; they were being asked to arrange no-show jobs, and arrange no-investment investments. MLSE rejected both proposals.
  22. You're in the same conservative bubble as all those young boys, that's driven and reinforced by algorithmic content recommendations.
  23. CR Post Rules 1) You can't just be up there and just doin' a post like that. 1a. A CR is when you 1b. Okay well listen. A CR is when you post the 1c. Let me start over 1c-a. The post is not allowed to do a mention to the, uh, president, that prohibits the president from doing, you know, just trying to build the wall. You can't do that. 1c-b. Once the CR is in the poster's hands, he can't be over here and say to the mods, like, "I'm gonna post ya! I'm gonna post you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that. 1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to CR and then don't post it, you have to still do a football move. You cannot not do a football move. Does that make any sense? 1c-b(2). You gotta be, football movement with the post, and then, until you just CR it. 1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the post up here, like this, but then there's the posters you gotta think about. 1c-b(2)-b. LaVar Ball hasn't been on any NFL teams in forever. I hope he wasn't remembered as an NFL camp body. 1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, he started Big Baller Brand too! That's even worse. 1c-b(2)-b(ii). "If you can't afford the Z02's, you're not a big baller!” --LaVar Ball. Haha, classic... 1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A CR is when the poster makes a post that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the CR and field of 2) Do not do a CR please.
  24. well I'm pretty sure they're dropping US (made or funded) weapons, so we're already in for a penny in for a pound with Israel
