  1. I won’t be surprised if it’s much worse than the spread. Small chance that this is a rally the troops, save Billy effort but more likely I think the team has given up.
  2. Here’s something every media conglomerate can (should) do but won’t: Boycott the admin entirely. No press conferences. No press pools. No backgrounders. No running quotes or seeking quotes. Nothing at all, let them try to use only social and Fox. Report on what they do: “Today POTUS signed an executive order order that does X.” “Today POTUS met with world leader Y to discuss X.” Run quotes from independent analysts and others, but absolutely zero platforming of the admin at all levels. “We have an obligation to report the news openly and truthfully. Accordingly, we will not carry quotes or give space to officials that habitually tell untruths and seek to silence critical coverage. We will continue to report and analyze the actions of this administration but we will not allow ourselves to be a venue for public manipulation.”
  3. Enchubben, can you provide a plausible reading of how Michelle Obama (First Lady) and Sheila Jackson Lee (Elected Rep) were “affirmative action picks?” What’s a good faith interpretation of that?
  4. They’ve worn that combo and look fairly often the past few years. UM is one that does a lot more experimentation than traditional blue bloods often do, including some surprisingly shitty/trendy alts over the years.
  5. Kimmel’s conditions should be: 1. No apology from him. 2. Apology from Disney to his viewers and Americans for caving to political pressure. Maybe also a contribution to a trans youth support group or something. If he wants to go really hard in the paint. But fuck any apologies. On 1A go scorched earth.
  6. Sinclair’s ABC stations are going to air a Charlie Kirk special on Friday in place of Kimmel, LOL everything is SO fucked. Oh and they are begging Daddy to do more censorship.
  7. Reminder that the first real indicator of where Russia was going (their media market in the 1990s was free-wheeling and actually excellent in a lot of places) was when the Kremlin made a show about puppets stop using a puppet of him they didn’t like. Then in 2001 they forced a sale of the network to Gazprom and then in 2002 just killed the show. There was also a blowup over a program that upset the Kremlin about some bombings of apartments blamed on Chechens.
  8. Viktor Orbanization of America. This stuff isn’t disciplined enough to be real fascism.
  9. Dogshit AI rendering too. Makes me ragey. I had seen the “change my mind” guy in memes but didn’t realize it was CK till after the murder.
  10. Far more interested in Tech-Utah than Illinois-Indiana. I don’t trust Bielema and Indiana just can’t stack up against Oregon and PSU. In a league with Big XII parity coaching carries the day and I really like those two staffs.
  11. Well, it could compliment them too with a bit of motion-sensor tech and some actual CK recordings.
  12. Any league is going to take a dimmer view of screwing up rule implementation than they do missed calls. There’s a missed call on almost any play in a football game but not knowing or applying the rule book in a clear cut situation is much bigger screwup. Missing an offensive holding call sucks but happens; stepping off five yards and not ten on the call is inexcusable.
  13. Diego says it’s his last year.
  14. Dabo doing some solid ranting and raving at the presser today.
  15. No, and earlier in thread I said that I expected this would be a disturbed and angry person more than a political person. I am speaking more to the jarring disconnect I get reading these lucid and matter of fact texts from someone who etched internet memes onto shell casings and murdered a podcaster in public. I guess I was expecting more manic manifesto than “why I’m running late for dinner.” Anyway it must be an incredible time to be schizo in America given where we are with baseline reality.
  16. I feel like I’m losing my grip on sanity and reality myself with this stuff. I read those texts in the charging document and am just having trouble believing that two 22 year olds who are into some truly odd corners of the internet culture text in completely literate English with complete sentences and everything. It reads like a script but I also feel crazy myself for even suggesting it. Part of this is my deep reservations that the Patel FBI can be trusted on anything.
  17. We are getting some strange error codes. Have we tried unplugging America and plugging it back in?
  18. So kids having a hard time getting laid are convincing their most pliant friends to transition into women so they can bang them?
  19. This is a rehash of a John Derbyshire article from 2012, for which he was excoriated and fired from some writing gigs. A symbol of how far backward we have gone that a preacher feels like he can say it from the pulpit. Don’t want to give it the traffic, but Google “Derbyshire the Talk” if anyone cares to read about it.
  20. Can you please explain the nexus of DEI to Michelle Obama (First Lady) and SJL (elected official)? Why are they examples. Reminder that these are also elected officials:
  21. “Man, I really hate the Cowboys.” ”Yeah, Jerry is an ass and they haven’t won anything since 1995 but call themselves America’s Team. What a joke.” ”Plus what’s the deal with all the Mexicans at their games.” “Wut?”
  22. Michelle Obama was a DEI hire for what, First Lady? Is there a job application for that? Barack should have extended the opening to a more qualified white man? SJL was elected by her constituents. Any way you slice it the remark was incredibly stupid and doubling down on it is dumber. Edit: More than dumb, he just named four famous black women and said they were stupid. That’s pure bigotry.
  23. You are such a child. I have spent over a decade of my life in post-Communist countries and know exactly what those symbols mean. I have zero respect for cosplaying edgelords like Hasan or you.
  24. Not here to get in an argument of “what is worse” and at the current political moment, right-wing extremism is the pressing threat. But sane societies should completely reject edgelords who edgily try to recast authoritarian monsters and traffic in their aesthetic. Communism is one of the most nightmarish ideologies ever to happen to millions of real people no matter what variant you choose and these type of photos should be looked at similar to smirking in front of Mussolini or Pinochet exhibits.
  25. Tend to agree but I don’t know what the NIL situation is at VaTech. The formula for Beamer was to do well within Virginia and the DC area. The five stars even then might have gone to the SEC or Big Ten but VaTech getting a good chunk of the top 10-30 players and maybe a couple from NC or Tennessee would be good for a top 20-30 class which is competitive in the ACC. Now you have Penn State, Clemson, USCe, and even Maryland and other Big 10 schools killing VaTech in state and they recruit more around 40 or 45. I am sure the NIL at USCe is better than VaTech but maybe a Beamer RETVRN would light a fire with donors?
