  1. This is really good. Colin Farrell is hitting a great stride at this stage of his career. The twist would usually throw me out, but it's fascinating. The filmmaking is excellent. Intercutting from noir classics but not spending too much time with them. I also like how they provide little surprises. Twice tonight, they show people in a room then cut to people entering the room (hotel and classroom). When they arrive the room is empty. They've delayed maybe 15 seconds. Just a clever detail. I think this may be better film noir than the references. Bravo!
  2. I'm not much for inspirational stories, but this one moves me. It may turn out that getting his degree at Texas the way he has done will have a better impact on his life than playing. I hope so. Thanks for posting this. Proud this guy is a Longhorn.
  3. What does this say about the state of Aggie football? Replace their name with Arizona State or Oklahoma State or South Carolina, and what really changes?
  4. Aggies picked up a transfer from Iowa. Jacob Bostick. Pretty impressive.
  5. The cross helps me get in close before I grab 'em by the pussy.
  6. Ms. Daniels, at this so-called encounter with President Donald Trump, you've said at times it was a dinner but then said no food was consumed. We have that in print, Ms. Daniels! Vogue magazine! Aren't you lying? No. I was invited for a dinner that was never served. Or so you say! Objection! Withdrawn. In this story about your alleged encounter with President-for-Life Trump- Objection! Sustained Did you, Ms. Daniels have a beverage? Yes. I had a Diet Dr. Pepper. Aha! Diet Dr. Pepper? Yes. Did everyone on the jury hear that? Diet. Doctor. Pepper. You know, Ms. Daniels, that God-King Trump Objection! Sustained. -President Trump only drinks Diet Coke. No. I'll also remind you of the Vogue interview. Do you recall? Yes. There you say you had a Diet Sprite! There were no sodas in that room other than Diet Coke, so how could you have acquired another soda? You can't even keep your story straight! One day it's Diet Dr. Pepper another day it's Diet Sprite! If you're lying about this, Miss Daniels, what else are you lying about? The defense rests!
  7. Can't these guys get anything right? I think he confused William's nickname with a reference to felatio. New overused word (see "hype" and "momentum") Narrator: There is no sip narrative. Such a dramatic and dramatically nutty world they see themselves in: Spines. Betrayals. Backs against walls. Men of their words.

    LBGTQ

    In official language, the plural has become advised to avoid the "he/she." It's simpler, but I'm not crazy about that either, yet I conform. Prior to feminism, everything was third person masculine for general usage. I'm for undoing the assumption of the masculine. I'll respect and use whatever a person desires. I just wish we could eliminate the necessity of thinking about it by making something like Ye or something better common. I'm good with the need for language sensitive to all persons. I just want it simplified. Like most things I want for the world, it will not happen unless this post of mine starts a grassroots movement.

    LBGTQ

    It seems like the vast English-speaking world community could come up with fresh pronouns instead of bastardizing ones that already exist. I mean, we came up with Ms during the welcome rise of feminism (sadly being beaten back by the white man). I was thinking of using ye as a neutral pronoun. Surely something better than just pluralizing those not wishing to be identified by sex. I'd have an easier time remembering something like ye to refer to any single person.
  10. Sure, they're the greatest fucking movies ever. Shall we move on?
  11. Just peruse the Missouri Valley and MAC All-Conference Honorable Mentions lists. Studs. Elmer anticipates what I was thinking. They slowed down the clock and, when they had Mond, could move the ball fairly consistently. I'm assuming Elko is a very solid defensive coach, but their silly dreams about last century's wrecking crew will never come true. Offenses have changed and bags don't have a unique quality to attract top talent like they did back in the FedEx days.
  12. It's kind of Israel to tell us they'll give us more details later. They run secret slaughter campaigns really well.
  13. Negged for lying just like the site. You summarize it like people summarize the Second Amendment. As for the governor of NY, examine items 1 and 2 below. From the NYT: She retracts and states regret about what was likely meant to be hyperbole. Her main point is access to technology to open up high paying jobs for the children of the Bronx. Which is key? Here in Idiot World, the gaffe is used by one side to stir up the negros against someone with an interest in a Black community; the other can't get past the possible slight to the economics of the Bronx and defaults to outrage. The first is cynical and calculated to feed the hate engine. The second is a more benign form of idiocy that thinks it's doing good. @safe sex obliterates the attempt to distort the story on drug testing new mothers using an absurdly low standard for reporting them to the police and social services. The practice being replaced got the wrong people in trouble and scared others from going to the hospital for care delivering their babies. Black mothers were more likely to lose their babies this way than white mothers. Even in the face of that, we get the willfully obtuse: What if you fucking read, dumbass? If you still have much hope, the worrisome thing is how these anecdotal points of outrage further choke honest discourse. Anecdotal outrage has largely replaced political discussion. Merely quoting articles one agrees with has largely erased political thinking for the average citizen engaged enough to give much of a shit. Check the number of followers of this bomb-thrower: Thank you, Pronghorn, for your service to your country.
  14. I didn't realize that was William. I figured it was some common form of TexAgs poster. I guess the clue was he keeps repeating the same thing with presumably more gravity each time. 10-2, that's the ceiling. 10-2, there you have it, it's your ceiling. 8-4 would be good. Willilam never says what he thinks their floor is. Smart move by such a thorough-going dumbass.
  15. It would help with his hard core base. Maybe the shockingly stupid and disengaged undecideds will be moved away from him by a photo of that turd in a jail cell. Most of the dumbasses will intuit that this means he must be guilty of whatever they're charging him with (you can't expect them to know). Further, it will quite possibly be the only time he is in an actual cell.
  16. Further, @Helobious point was about seeing refusal to go to IMG as a red flag of some sort.
  17. Those two are pretty dumb. Thanks for posting them as it's good to see the spectrum. The first conflates sympathy for the starving, displaced, and/or blown up Gazans with support for Hamas. The hammer and sickle on her shirt is a nice reminder of the extreme dangers of socialism provided by people bent to the will of Russia. Shame they don't get irony. The world would be a better place if they did. The second may be accurate as to what the protesters are claiming. I honestly haven't followed it closely. It's dumb because of the relative danger posed by Nazis and wrong-headed college students. The first one is cynical. The second is just simple-minded.
