It's the off-season, so it's a slow time for NBA news, but if you want to listen to something fun for 15 minutes, Zach Lowe and Bill Simmons pick their 2028 Olympic team rosters. They discuss a few Rockets. Both had Amen Thompson on their teams, and think he could be a starter for that team. KD is likely going to be too old, so they don't pick him. Bill adds Tari Eason as a 9-12 guy, "someone that's just happy to be there and will give it their all in limited minutes." Would be cool if they both make it, especially if Tari is on a long contract by then. They both love the idea of having a "release the dogs" type lineup with a bunch of really good defenders like them, Mobley, Jalen Williams, and someone to deal with a big center when playing Wemby or Jokic. USA team starts around 44 minutes.

Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
Pato del Muerto replied to Laguna's topic in Daily Texan
Strong disagree here based on what’s been said about his online presence. and though I’m just now learning about this maxx whatevering- it is obviously very different from a trans person transitioning and more akin to cosplay, if that’s not too crude a comparison. And apparently it’s a thing in those groups, seperate and apart from lgbqt with their own shared political groupthink. -
What's weird is that the OL looked oddly good vs OSU and then dogshit against the two cupcakes. Both run and pass. The James Simon stats are insane - I don't remember the exact numbers but of his 72 yards, like 95% came after contact. Just zero run blocking.

The only thing I've learned is these kids spend their time in a reality I wasn't even aware existed. Eye opening for sure. -
QB1 Arch Manning: Doing his best JAG impression to fool scouts
Biff Tannen replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
Anwar just said he doesn’t think Sark can bench Arch without putting his own job in jeopardy. I vehemently disagree. Sark’s job is to play the best players to win games. If that’s not Arch, so be it. -
Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)
hookem2010 replied to msbesq's topic in Cloak Room
I was aware that the internet was a fucked up place for kids. But my boys are only 3 and 1, and the only other kid I regularly interact with is my 15 year-old nephew, who is at least pretty tame outwardly. Learning some of the specifics of the shit they are exposed to is terrifying. I'm only 37, but I'm starting to feel old as fuck. The world is becoming entirely foreign to me. -
I imagine all this does is cause the disaffected ones that we definitely need to monitor on some level—all it will cause them to do is go further underground. Leave less of an online trail. I know I kid about cameras but they are a fucking game changer for true crime and convicting the guilty. CCTV for all of its scary big brother ness catches everything. And it has no bias and most is stored in the cloud. I do wonder what role AI will play. Will someone fake a video or create a good one to show something that didn’t happen? We know it likely will. But for right now CCTV has to be the biggest thorn in any defense attorney’s side. Caught on camera. Fucked. Excellent post.

Let’s pretend those texts are real… dude might have just had enough of Kirk’s bullshit. -
Hell, I can't even go for a walk in my neighborhood without calling someone in a car an asshole.

I guess I could add that overnight tent camping to my list. Preferably somewhere that I can take my dog. But I don't really want to stay in a hotel or anything.

My gestalt take on everything we’ve seen so far is that, like you said earlier, he was very troubled, but not delusional/psychopathic. He’s a smart kid but has failed to launch. The fact that he is in a romantic relationship with a biological male furry that is transitioning to female probably means he’s a closeted gay man and feels resentful of the strict religious/conservative culture in Utah. He’s aimless, without purpose, and spends most of his time in online communities that are not explicitly political, but to the extent politics are discussed everyone holds the opinions of the average Bluesky or CR poster and Republicans are considered fascists. When he hears Charlie Kirk is coming to his university he gets the idea into his head that he has the chance for meaning in his life, to slay a dragon that he perceives as a danger to his lover and who is universally reviled in the online circles he frequents. He sees a chance to “stop the hatred” not understanding the second order effects he is going to unleash on the country and those that he loves. I haven’t seen any evidence that there was a larger conspiracy or others that plotted with him, or that he was part of Antifa or the DSA, even if he may have agreed with some or many of their positions if he ever thought them through. I agree with all of this, except the nutbar part. Oswald was a communist who assassinated a Cold Warrior President, not as a Soviet agent, but driven by his ideology and own loser-in-life status. Tyler Robinson seems very similar in his motivations. While we might consider anyone who commits a political assassination of their own plan (that isn’t Carlos the Jackal) to be crazy by definition, neither was incapable of understanding what they were doing like a Jared Loughner or John Hinckley. I think they both had delusions of grandeur that they were serving a larger cause, but not that they were hearing voices telling them they were fighting demons like a paranoid schizophrenic.

Twins in the best of the three to me, but I don't have anything special to give you for it. Agree with UTexas that Brewers stadium is whatever. I sat front row top deck behind home plate just to get a view of everything and it was pretty damn dark up there that I almost fell asleep. It is also by pretty much nothing. I was only in MKE one afternoon/night but I did go to National Bobble Head Hall of Fame there and across the street was a nice brewery - Broken Bat Then ate some bad ass motherfucking cheese curds at Camino....but that is all an uber ride away from stadium area. You can always go jerk off in the 10 min Bud Selig Experience inside the stadium. Kaufmann is cool, but it is also not around shit. So to recap...no I don't have any real tricks/tips for those.

QB1 Arch Manning: Doing his best JAG impression to fool scouts
BonzoMontreaux replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
Yep, he could take a lot of pressure of the offense by kicking FGs. Give them an easy win for the time being if they are in FG range. I love the 'go for it' mentality but this offense needs to take some baby steps for now. -
good lord the chuds are literally calling the shots Absolutely a great thing that these very fine people are deciding who gets higher education and who doesn't based on their lawful speech

Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)
aggie08 replied to msbesq's topic in Cloak Room
Call me crazy, but I don't think it was unfair to speculate on the only hard evidence at the time (obscure bullet markings, furries, and Pepe the Frog costumes). At BEST, Robinson at least knows what Groypers are. Considering Nick Fuentes has had a grudge against Kirk for years that his crazy followers have previously acted on ain't exactly some wild conspiracy theory. That said, anyone conclusively stating that he was a full-fledged Groyper (and I don't agree with immamac changing this thread title) was obviously jumping to conclusions. Most have been pretty steadfast that anyone expecting an obsessive political activist--for either side--probably isn't going to get that they want. -
Bought this today, 16 links on sale for $11. Will have to come up with a few different ideas to use 'em.

Kiki's machaca is the best in the city. Can't go wrong there. Just not across from a graveyard like L&J.
