I'm not @Craftywidget, but I have an unvarying starting word (arose, which I will use until it's the daily word--I used to use slate until it was the daily word a year or so ago), and a second word (until). I use the two word strategy, unless I get a good 3-letter hit using my starter word, in which case I play with it from there.

The Royals and Indians are also in that worry range. But I was told that Cintron helped fix Correa.

Well shit, the trailer is already getting me choked up.

Exactly. This is inevitable given the last 45 years of American history, and the US's refusal to get a grip on the gun crisis combined with zero control over hate speech on the internet. Violence is the only way this could go. And unless they stand down and start behaving with civility again (they won't), it will only get worse and worse. It will culminate in a strongman with competence taking control of the country and subjugation the population with brutality. That is the future because the right wing refuses to back off their hate speech and lunacy.

In addressing the need to reduce gun violence, we know what works. Shame on us for lacking the courage to do the right and just thing: The assault weapons ban was part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which included a "sunset provision" mandating that the law expire after 10 years unless renewed by Congress. After the ban expired, the average number of mass shooting deaths per year increased significantly compared to the period when the ban was in effect. One 2024 study suggested that if the ban had been renewed in 2004, it could have prevented as many as 38 additional mass shootings between 2005 and 2022.

Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter remains at large]

The sheer volume of shit getting posted on the internet makes real-time monitoring problematic. Take Tik-Tok as an example, there are 23-24 million uploads added each day. Even with some AI scanner flagging uploads for future human review, thats gonna take time, and meanwhile another million uploads just got added in the last hour. And that is one site. You have reddit, facebook, insta, 4 chan, and god knows how many other sites. Its similar to how Texas is really proud of the Dont Mess with Texas ad campaign with regards to littering, and while the campaign did lead to a reduction of littering, there is still shitloads of trash lying alongside our roadways. The sheer volume of uploads make the process fallible. -
This one was a hoot. Peter Sellers was a treasure.

Any one of us goes into a biker bar and starts yelling how bikers are trash, scum, and the lowest of the low. How long do you think we last before getting seriously hurt or killed? Go and sit in the middle of a Eagles game with your Cowboys shit on, hurling insults at all the people around you. What's the amount of time before you get stomped out? All of us conduct ourselves in a way to promote self preservation. As soon as you start with hateful rhetoric your life expectancy goes down. People shouldn't be violent, but people also shouldn't poke the bear. Most of us know that and conduct ourselves accordingly. Charlie Kirk did not and didn't make it to year 31. So many right wingers are pointing the finger at liberals today instead of looking in the mirror. If Charlie Kirk was a branch manager at his local Wells Fargo, he would be coming home for dinner tonight. Instead he spent a decade spewing hate to the masses and ultimately it caught up to him, just as much as it would if you and I went in that biker bar every day talking crazy. Quit blaming us. Look in the mirror. Bruce Willis wasn't going to make it very long holding that sign either.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread

Heard a real estate economist say today that he thought the 10 year needed to get to about 3 1/4 to spark real movement in the apartment market. That would be huge for housing as well imo. Job growth not really helping things though. -
It’s a 911 memorial, so he’s probably thinking about the beautiful foot wedges that led to his club championship.

Yeah I didn't take it as a negative comment about her as a person either --- more of a commentary on her just simply being emotionally/mentally/physically exhausted. For me, when I hear that someone is burned out, I don't take it as an insult to them but more as a commentaryn on their well-being.

GJ Kinne: The next great offensive mind of CFB?
GJ Winne replied to GreenspointTexas's topic in Football
Haven't heard about any circumcisions just yet, but there's still time. -
The Rams stunted at a league high 30% They were in dime a quarter of their defensive snaps Houston had the worst starting position in the league, and on at least one of those drives (the first) they were then pushed back by a (bullshit) penalty Houston's 3rd to go was at an average of 10.7, which is terrible. For reference, last year they were 3rd worst in the league at around 7 yards and change The pre-game OL shuffle due to Ingram being out, then Robinson getting knocked out for a quarter and change before coming back in, and the center getting knocked out didn't help. Neither did being on the road against a talented defensive front against a creative and aggressive defensive staff that knows the new OC very well Baptism by fire for Stroud and the pass protection operation. Bowles also is aggressive, but he's a bit more obvious at least, and they don't have Verse

Same unis as last week @ UTSA for the road trip to Arizona State, just a different helmet decal. Haven't seen the Sun Devils' uniform reveal just yet, but I believe they are going full maroon. Should be a good uniform matchup.
