  1. Past hour
  2. plaintext on the quote: What they said: "Our ceiling (along the defensive line) is high, and it all starts with our leadership coming from me, PJ (Adebawore), Dom Williams, Gracen Halton — it all comes from that. Our ceiling can be however high we want, and whatever we tolerate is what goes. Whatever we tolerate, that's what the young guys are going to tolerate. So, however we can nurture and facilitate our defensive line, our ceiling can be whatever it wants to be. And I think it can be really high."— defensive end R Mason Thomas at SEC Media Days.
  3. The episode premiered nearly 66 years ago. I don't think you need to worry about spoilers.
  4. It feels like NE Tarrant County is the epicenter of GOP loony tunes land.
  5. And it would have been so much funnier if they had included you in their universe of cameos.
  6. plaintext on the quote: What they said: "We have a lot of experience. We added Marvin Jones Jr. He has experience from Georgia. He has SEC experience and ACC experience with Florida State. We've just got guys that fit into the system for so long. This is my fourth year. PJ's third year. T-Wein's third year. Marvin's first year. He's probably the only guy — him and three other people's first year. Last year we had multiple guys but not as much as we do now. So, experience for us helps a lot to know what to expect, and this is our second year in the SEC, so we know (what) it looks like." — defensive end R Mason Thomas at SEC Media Days.
  7. My mother, a resident of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, departed this life in 1996. Her home, the same one I was raised in, was a ten-minute walk from Bryant Denny stadium. In those days, game day parking was in demand and yahoos from all over the Deep South parked all over the place on my old street. Mrs. Llama. Baby Llama and I lived on the Gulf OF MEXICO end of the state. We would commute on game weekends and stay in the house while estate admin was ongoing. One day Bama had some kind of punk ass early kick game on Jefferson Pilot. I went to run an errand about 9:30 only to find some asshole had parked behind me blocking my vehicle inside the driveway. After considering some of the criminal mischief options above, I settled on removing the asshole’s license plate. We watched the game on TV (no tix), and expected the asshole might be knocking on the door at some point, at which I planned to play dumb other than to ask him to GTFO my driveway or prepare to be towed, which happened frequently on game days. I went out eventually and found the asshole had gone. On Sunday, as we drove back to the coast, I sailed his license plate off a tall bridge into the muddy waters of the Alabama River just South of Jackson, Alabama. I hope the fucker got pulled over, charged wigh DUI, hassled and searched by state troopers every 30 miles wherever he went on his way home. The absolute selfish bullshit! He had no idea who he was blocking in that day or if someone in the house might need to use their fucking driveway. Asshole.
  8. Wife wanted to see Backstreet Boys at the Sphere. It was an entertaining experience.
  9. leave it to the brits to infantilize something sexual. lol
  10. There's absolutely nothing normal about the interview and immunity she was granted. -she's a convicted sex trafficker and she's already been sentenced -acceptance of proffers and grants of limited immunity are tools for law enforcement to make cooperators in a criminal case, typically so they can work their way up the food chain of criminality -the Asst Attorney General who interviewed her was (maybe still is) Trump's attorney, so deeply conflicted -just taking the interview - let alone granting her limited immunity (hugely damaging the possibility of additional prosecution for the crimes to which she admitted in the interview) - is highly unusual and extremely corrupt. They didn't even discuss it first with the women who were victimized by Maxwell.
  11. I've been reading a lot of British fiction lately. The Brit term for milf is the delightful "yummy mummy."
  12. Encinitas milfs are the best.
  13. Some plastic surgeons have before and after photos on their websites. The befores can be bad. The afters can be better but leave them looking like Chucky in some cases.
  14. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/26/us/politics/hegseth-pentagon-leadership.html In the spring, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth decided not to promote a senior Army officer who had led troops over five tours in Afghanistan and Iraq because Mr. Hegseth suspected, without evidence, that the officer had leaked sensitive information to the news media, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. When Lt. Gen. Douglas A. Sims II was cleared of the allegations, Mr. Hegseth briefly agreed to promote him, only to change course again early this month, the officials said. This time, Mr. Hegseth maintained that the senior officer was too close to Gen. Mark Milley, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff whom President Trump has accused of disloyalty. Mr. Hegseth’s sudden reversal prompted a rare intervention from Gen. Dan Caine, the current chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He urged Mr. Hegseth to reconsider, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. Mr. Hegseth met with General Sims one final time but refused to budge. General Sims is expected to retire in the coming months after 34 years in the military, officials said. Through a spokesman, General Sims and General Caine declined to comment. A Pentagon spokesman declined to comment on Mr. Hegseth’s role. The standoff over his promotion reflects an ongoing clash between Mr. Hegseth’s highly partisan worldview, in which he has written that the Democratic Party “really does hate America,” and the longstanding tradition of an apolitical military that pledges an oath to the Constitution. Mr. Hegseth’s actions could shape the military’s top ranks for years to come. His insistence on absolute loyalty, backed with repeated threats of polygraphs, also creates uncertainty and mistrust that threaten to undermine the readiness and effectiveness of the force, officials said. The tension between top military officers and their civilian leaders has been persistent since the earliest days of Mr. Trump’s second term, when senior administration officials ordered the removal of General Milley’s portrait from a Pentagon hallway. General Caine, who pressed Mr. Hegseth on General Sims’s behalf, got the job of Joint Chiefs chairman after Mr. Hegseth and President Trump fired Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., his predecessor. Mr. Hegseth accused General Brown, who is Black, of prioritizing diversity over the combat effectiveness of the force. Also removed during the first months of the new administration were the first woman to command the Navy, Adm. Lisa Franchetti; the first woman to command the Coast Guard, Adm. Linda Fagan; Mr. Hegseth’s senior military assistant, Lt. Gen. Jennifer Short; and the U.S. military representative to the NATO military committee, Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield. All were dismissed as part of a campaign to root out diversity, equity and inclusion from the military and restore what Mr. Hegseth has described as a “warrior ethos.” cont'd
  15. You could post this observation on every thread on this board, and you'd be hammer-hitting-nail almost every time.
  16. I was there. Was a freshman in high school. I think it was my third concert ever (Asia and Van Halen were 1 and 2)? The drummer for Golden Earring was pretty ballsy. He did a really good solo during their set. Not something you see from an opener. And not many drummers are going to do a solo ahead of Neil Peart doing his later. Rush always had good openers, and they were never butthurt and thought “we don’t want to bring a band that might take away from what we do”. Looking at you, Van Halen, with the rockabilly band you brought out on the 1984 tour. Or the aging BTO you brought out on the 5150 tour. Or freaking After The Fire and “Der Kommisar” in 1982. Golden Earring was solid.
  17. The episode where the guy who loves to read goes into a bank vault to read during his lunch break and survives a nuclear war is greatness. Don’t want to spoil the ending.
  18. I keep repeating something I read a long while back, the country changed when people started thinking of themselves as taxpayers rather than citizens. I finally got off my lazy ass and ran it down. I think the place I read it must have been quoting this piece in Harpers 2016. The article is: Save Our Public Universities In defense of America’s best idea by Marilynne Robinson
  19. Never watched a minute of Breaking Bad, and I never got into the Sopranos. The Wire is somewhere in my top 5. And I need to watch it again, but it's an investment.

  21. They had seven females once.
