  1. Past hour
  2. Hope this is true. Seems insane to play him one more game as had been widely reported. I'm really excited to see Eze get integrated into the team, we have lacked a player with his creativity since Gabriel Jesus first arrived at Arsenal. That has been the driving factor in why Arsenal struggled so much vs low blocks.
  3. The two are inextricably intertwined, unfortunately.
  4. 90% of the backpacks I see suggested on here are garbage but this has absolutely peaked my interest.
  5. Saw it on Tuesday night and thought it was great. I'll be flying into HTown on Halloween to see DEVO and the B-52's in the Woodlands on 11/2. There will be 4 or 5 of us in our jumpsuits and power domes. Here's a pic of me this past weekend at a music fest in the woods on the Oregon coast (Yachats) rocking the dome. Always a party when you're wearing one of these.
  6. All this sky fairy stuff bores me. Get back to roasting the dotard. Now.
  7. One of the more punchable characters in the whole series.
  8. I mean the term has been around in higher ed since the mid 2000s. I first heard the term my 2nd year in grad school for my doctorate, which was around 2015-16. I was like “what the fuck does that mean?” But guess what also grew in popularity around that time? Social media. It came out of nowhere because more progressives in grad school were using it on socials which has such a wide reach. If it weren’t for that, the term would have stayed in its higher ed box.
  9. This really is one of my favorite all-time storylines of college football.
  10. Anyone who was around in the old Hornfans days knows how I feel about this subject. Certainly @softlynow can recall those discussions. It’s fascinating to learn how distorted, incomplete, and misleading the story presented as orthodox Christianity really is. I mean, it’s obvious on its face that the narrative is nonsense. But what isn’t so obvious is just how inaccurate the Church’s autobiography is. And the fact that so few bother to look under the hood and challenge the basic ideas on which they base so much of their lives is depressing. There are so many lies to unravel; it feels like wack-a-mole.
  11. Over 100 years from emancipation to civil rights. Glacial is correct. And now we are going backwards.
  12. Barbie wants ICE Airlines. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/rcna217149
  13. There is flat-billed and then there is FLAT billed. For example, some might consider these Nike Texas baseball hats flat billed: ...which they are as compared to a traditional "dad hat" like this: ...but not to a super FLAT billed hat like this: you could press that up to a mirror and not bend the brim.
  14. Before being tossed into the pit of hell? Rest in piss asshole.
  15. So, yes. The pagans had big festivals on Easter and Christmas. Christians had big festivals at Easter and Christmas. Jesus died on one and was born on the other. Hm-hm-hm-hmm? Cos…Jesus I do think did exist. He was a guy who had interesting ideas in the Gandhi area, the Nelson Mandela area – relaxed and groovy. The Romans thought, “Relaxed and groovy? No.” So they murdered him. Kids eat chocolate eggs because the color of the chocolate and the color of the wood on the cross… Well, you tell me. It’s got nothing to do with it, has it? People are going, “Remember kids, Jesus died for your sins.” “Yeah, I know, it’s great.” “No, it’s bad.” “It’s bad. It’s terrible. “Whatever you want. Just keep giving me these eggs.” And the bunny rabbits, where do they come into the Crucifixion? There were no rabbits going, “You putting crosses in our warrens? “We live below this hill, all right?” Bunny rabbits are for shagging, eggs are for fertility. It’s the spring festival. Christmas time, Jesus born to a big jolly guy in a red jacket. “Ho, ho, ho, baby Jesus. What would you like for Christmas?” “Peace on earth and goodwill towards men.” “What about a clockwork train?” “Yes, much better. Forget peace on earth, I don’t care.”
  16. KJ Edwards stood out in that state game. I mean it was Mark Cuban gif taking notes, "Who the fuck is that? Oh, he's only a Junior?" Wish he wasn't going to cultville.
  17. He so desperately wants a real Presidential Palace in D.C.
  18. McShay had some substance abuse problems (drinking?) and had to walk away from TV for a while, right? From the few clips I've seen, dude still seems to not be mentally recovered.
  19. I love 'em both. Correct me if I'm wrong, but do candidates need to actually live in the district in which they are running? I feel like I've read somewhere that they only need to be Texas residents. I hope there's a way Doggett can retire on his own terms, but yes he is old.
  20. Sort of. There's a weird in state hatred of Texas in Colorado that stems from the fact so many Texans own so much of the land in their state. Honestly, Colorado football fans are a strange breed. The administration there goes hot and cold regarding giving the football program support and then pulling the rug out from under them, so the fans end up on an unpleasant teeter totter as to whether the team is going to be good or not. I don't believe Colorado fans think about Texas all that much. Missouri doesn't think of Texas much at all. They have the KU thing going on, and they're too busy feeling rejected by all the SEC schools who don't even think they bring anything to the conference and wish they'd be kicked out. Nebraska fans hate Texas with every fiber of their being. It's akin to Arkansas hate. It's not just about the record. It's this mythology they've created that UT is responsible for their program's demise. That's existential shit. Nebraska is one of those states that to be from there, even 2nd generation, means you're a Cornhusker football fan. It doesn't matter if you went to school there. It's like Constantine making everyone in the Roman Empire convert to Christianity. You're a Cornhusker football fan even if you don't follow football. They'll cite different factors. Lack of population in the state. The increase in difficulty in recruiting out of state. The move to the Big 10. But given our human propensity to blame someone else for our own problems, the chief place they like to put the blame for their decline is on Texas. We came into the conference and ruined their ability to place dumb college football players on the academic rolls for a year, even though it was an 11-1 vote. The officials were bribed to let Texas win the Big 12 championship game in 2009. If they win that, they're allegedly still a prominent program. We formed the Longhorn Network which forced them to go elsewhere for conference membership, rather than sharing revenue equally. Never mind in every vote regarding revenue sharing they voted with Texas, because they were making a killing on selling pay per view for Tier III rights to the Nebraska faithful, but the amount the Big 10 was able to offer was going to dwarf any combination of revenue they'd receive from the Big 12. They still act as if their departure was UT's fault. It doesn't matter that we haven't played them since they left the Big 12. That shit is handed down from generation to generation, just like Arkansas. Every little dirt farmer is tucked into bed with stories of the boogeyman, the Texas Longhorns, who ruined the Nebraska football program. It's accepted as fact up there. I won't go into all the dynamics in volleyball, because it will bore everyone to tears, and I've already lost a lot of people with my usual wall of text. But for the few of us on here that passionately follow that sport, the Nebraska hatred for us is immense (in volleyball I'd say it goes both ways equally in ways it does not in football, but that's neither here nor there). And citing A&M's hate as having anything to do with 11-5, 5-3 in College Station, is an almost criminal misrepresentation. That's an institutional hate that goes way beyond football. As much as their brainwashing fish camp, their roots as an all male compulsory ROTC military college, the jizz jar bonfire pre tragedy, and all their other cult behavior, it's their shared hatred for Texas that bonds Aggies. That's not true to the same extent even for OU fans. We diminish their complete and utter obsession with us to say it has anything to do with their record against us.
  21. Particularly on the same day as a colonoscopy.
