What impact will Trump have on the 2026 World Cup?
Well for starters, tickets for the "Arlington", sorry, "Dallas" stages are fucking impossible to get. Sold out, scalpers asking silly amounts on the secondary market, hotels around D/FW are already price gouging 6 months out.

I for one welcome our new AI overlords
Short and near-term consumer energy prices have the potential to be very unsettling. The sheer demand that the data centers require is difficult to comprehend without a massive leap in technology. I read recently that by 2030, there will need to be the equivalent of 70 Hoover dams-worth of generation to feed the data centers CURRENTLY operating and being built, not accounting for at least 40 more in the predevelopment phase. Nuclear has a chance to reinvigorate the grid. But between red tape, tech advances on paper only and NIMBY crowds, there's still a lot of fight left to overcome. The profit mechanisms are a wholly different topic, and one that I tuned out of since it's not in my field of knowledge.

2025 Game Week 6: RRS Texas v OU
I don't know anyone on the OU staff, nor would I want to. But, I think he's going to play, and I've thought the severity of the injury was bogus from the start. It's ou - their own damned mascot, nay, identity, is based on cheating and lies. This game is their Super Bowl. Also, Mateer was rocketing his way to the top of the Heisman list before his injury, deserved or not. He'll shoot himself full of painkillers/heroin/whatever in order to make a go at it and try for some hero points tomorrow to help his stock. If his hand is even at 90%, they'll run him in bootlegs or power formations for ground gains. Eventually his desire to try to run over every defender will get him injured worse, but who knows if his luck runs out tomorrow.

The Red River Shootout: A Classic Battle
I've long thought that Laura Miller not giving in to Jerry Jones was the millstone that dragged the Fair Park area to the bottom of the ocean for decades. Some town was going to cave, and it should have been smack right next to downtown instead of in Arlington. Same goes for Globe Life field and the still vacant plot of land that Reunion Arena sits on that could've housed the Rangers. I'd love to see more of the area become vibrant and safe. But, people have been talking about the neighborhood being the next big thing for at least 30 years. At least the Tx/ousux game won't be pulled out of Fair Park for the foreseeable future...

A&M at ND
Watching the the replay, there may not have been a hold back when aggy was pinned back on the endzone, but there was clear as day hands to the face that was definitely a safety not called

That's a real bitch take. Have all of the disdain for Trump. If you like to root against America, move out of the country.

Let Them Eat Cake: The Billionaires Thread
For some odd coincidence, i have the cell phone/office number of two billionaires in my business contacts. One of them I haven't met more than once in person and can't base a fair opinion on. The other is notorious for being very friendly, known for his philanthropy and has built a very successful business (no shit). He seems quite the opposite of a loathsome human. My great-uncle reached billionaire status shortly before he died, somewhere in his mid 90's I think. He had more redeeming qualities than one could keep track of. He was known and friends with world leaders. His philanthropy reached levels that I didn't even hear about. His surviving son and daughter did not receive more than a pittance of an inheritance, as he donated almost all of his wealth to churches, Universities (both academic and athletic scholarships in the dozens) as well as writing over his vast art collection to galleries and as property of the State that he resided. Even in my group of friends, they all would say that he was one of the most humble and entertaining people that they'd ever met. And upon his death, I simply inherited a shotgun and a small, token amount of Indian turquoise jewelry that I had an appreciation for their craftsmanship. Not ALL billionaires are fucking treacherous scum as you say.
