  1. Past hour
  2. We keep hearing about threats to pull a network’s license, but, and someone please correct me if I’m wrong, the actual broadcast network doesn’t possess a broadcast license. Except in the case of owned & operated local stations, the networks don’t own the spectrum. The local stations own the licenses so it’s the companies like Tegna, Sinclair, Nexstar, etc that own the actual licenses that the regime keeps on threatening.
  3. Probably not. But like, everyone knows this is the end. Just waiting out the clock, like Mack Brown in 2013 Hopefully Gundy doesn’t go kill himself recruiting in Florida and then fly circles around Stillwater to avoid the firing meeting
  4. Off-shoring and H1B are complementary. Almost half visas are not given to high-skilled, innovative tech companies. They’re given to IT outsourcing firms, which then strategically transition knowledge and operations overseas. After Amazon the biggest recipients of H1Bs are companies like Tata, Infosys, etc. Indian firms sponsoring visas for Indian workers to come get trained to then bring the work back to the HQ in India. You’re supposed to advertise to Americans first but they will print ads in actual print and the applications go to their “Global Mobility” teams and not even HR. Truly insane system and at odds with how it was envisioned, and the numbers involved and workload mean you can’t effectively police it. This method is dubiously legal and might not stand up in court but H1B as it was conceived has nothing in common with what’s going on and the whole thing did need to be blown up. It’s the type of things Dems who care about the middle class should have tackled.
  5. My father-in-law, as great a man who ever lived and a most frank and candid son of the depression, had a way with words. He also held the occasional wager on college football games. On autumn Saturday mornings his kitchen table in Tuscaloosa, upon which the line sheets were spread, was like the set of The Sting. During the desert wandering years before Saban, Alabama once had a QB2 who was a baseball pitcher. QB1 went down to a knee injury, and the pitcher started a few games. I believe we lost them all. Dad’s customers continued to bet Bama anyway, every week. He would jack up the line, pretending it had shifted. If the actual line was Bama -6, he would “adjust” the 6 to 10 or 11 and make a few extra bucks each weekend. He knew he was safe because of the baseball QB, who was a decent athlete but a shitty passer. “That boy couldn’t hit a bull in the ass with a bass fiddle.” Dad would have a heyday with this SEC.
  6. Apparently, all of the work I am doing in this feckless, hapless, hopeless, petulant eating disorder community is because I have righteous indignation. https://adadsjourneywitheatingdisorders.home.blog/2025/09/20/righteous-indignation/
  7. My plan is to apply, deposit the $50k then have my bone spur flare up.
  8. well, we know somebody's getting fired
  9. So, I liked the last episode but have one major complaint. This show isn't the only time I've seen it. It's a frequent Hollywood trope they use often but it drives me nuts. These 3 folks are trying to escape from a fortified island where the know killing and warping memories of whoever is a-okay whenever, for what ever reason. However, they are walking calmly, chatting taking in scenery, reflecting and enjoying themselves like it's a romantic hike in the mountains.
  10. Kirsch clearly tolerates BK but doesn’t loop him in on things.
  11. I've thought that for some time, actually. The wife (no pics) and I were watching the Cowboys doc on Netflix and I was telling her that the biggest change in sports in my lifetime is the NFL being completely dominant not just in sports but in pop culture. Monday Night Football used to be like the #10 rated show or something and now random games are getting +20M viewers. Philly/Chiefs got like 30M. It's totally eclipsed even other sports. I used to like sports talk radio/podcasts but most of them are NFL centric even in the spring and summer. I just don't give any fucks at all about where Aaron Rogers is going but they're still yammering on about it in July. Anyway, I think you're right in that it's the opiate that almost everyone is in on. It's the reason ABC should have pushed back on the Kimmel firing. "Pull out license? OK. We'll shut down ESPN."
  12. Duncanville DE 4 start recruit KJ Ford slapped a Wax player in the face during the handshake line. Think he's headed to SMU
  13. I really loved this show but watched when it first came out. I really need to rewatch it at some point.
  14. Well that’s not good.
  15. It's the new-age, closed source IRC chat slash teamspeak. It's far more functionality than that, but socially it's the same. Discord is a collection of chat rooms (aka "servers") that can curate and moderate independently of eachother and act as micro-communities. It's effectively message boards for genZ, except they're far more closed off and insular and move at a significantly faster pace. My buddies use discord for voice chat while gaming, or when we do our D&D game remotely on the rare occasion. There's a surly discord too, but it's mainly just there for people to chirp at imma when surly goes down
  16. I still can't believe he didn't make that throw.
  17. I'm not sure white women are the problem.
  18. It will have been over a month at that point. Four and a half weeks. Will they also have one for the astronauts killed in the Challenger explosion?
  19. I didn't say i had to get them at a dealership I said no one had them - they are actually not a high volume tire and people dont generally just stock them on hand. Discount didn't have them till Tuesday and no other independents did either. They had the soonest availability and they matched the discount tire price.
  20. I’m waiting for them to outlaw birth control. That MIGHT get white women to wake up.
  21. Re: Cruises generally. If you don't mind "chillin on the boat," the floating hotel concept with shore excursions; and You can "control" for the other passengers, ie not hordes of people of Walmart. You should be just fine with a cruise. The Carnival commoditization of them is what has given them the bad rap over the last 25 years or so.
  22. Saw Vapors of Morphine at Continental last night. They were great. Just fun to hear something in a different sound range of Low Low... Got a great video of the song Buena, though I REALLY wanted to be moving, rather than trying no to blur the video. Second band "Living Pins" was actually surprisingly good as well. They have an early show at 7pm tonight seriously thinking of going again.
