  1. Hmm.
  2. This is some Grade A Weird-Ass White Knighting. How do you not understand that this is a justifiable case of FAFO? First, he’s a rich CEO in an increasingly exploitative capitalist system. Everyone enjoys seeing the privileged elite fall on their faces. Second, she’s an HR executive. She should know better than to date her boss. Everyone loves exposing a hypocrite. Third, they’re cheating on at least one spouse. In full public view. That’s on them. Nobody forced him to grope his mistress in public.
  3. MAGA: I just pray to God that one day we’ll find these pedophiles and bring them to justice. Law Enforcement: Here’s one. He was marching next to you on January 6. Here’s another. He’s a local GOP party leader. Oh, and we found another one. He’s the youth minister at your church. MAGA: I just pray to God that one day we’ll find these pedophiles and bring them to justice.
  4. Some Things Considered, imo.
  5. Even my most cynical family and friends don’t seem to grasp this possibility. They’re all still talking about how the midterms or 2028 will be a bloodbath for the GOP. And I’m like “Have y’all never seen how authoritarian dictators operate?” Normalcy bias is a helluva drug.
  6. Maybe spooning on the Jumbotron is some new award-winning HR icebreaker exercise.
  7. He’s mourning the loss of half of his shit.
  8. This kind of shit is a big reason I’m sending my kids out of state for college. It’s sad. I always hoped my kids would be Longhorns, too.
  9. Any more info on this?
  10. Not sure about that. He went all the way back to early 2000s Hornfans, at least.
  11. It’s all pretext. All of it. MAGA treats politics as a team sport. Or, more aptly: pro wrestling. There is no logic. There is no moral code. There is no policy. It’s all just “I picked the weird orange guy and I will root for him no matter what.” So when the Blue Donkey gouges eyes, it’s a horrible crime and grounds for immediate disqualification. But when Cheeto Benito does the same thing and also smacks his opponent with a steel chair when the ref is distracted? Totally justifiable. It’s not really against the rules, and I’m not sure that there even are any rules. Has anyone ever actually seen a WWE rule book? Does that even exist? If it does, there’s probably an immunity clause for the defending champion. And OH MY GOD THE BLUE DONKEY JUST USED POCKET SAND—WON’T ANYONE HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DISGUSTING VIOLATION OF THE RULES AND COMMON CIVILITY?!?!?
  12. As a leftie, this is making me nervous.
  13. The more interesting debate is whether UT is elite now. It might seem obvious given how difficult admission has gotten. But that’s driven entirely by Texas’s hyper focus on one flawed metric. On other academic measures, the Texas student body is pretty unimpressive. According to this site, UT ranks #133 in the US in terms of median SAT score of enrolled students. Considering the ranking appears not to include test-blind schools (which would include some of the most prestigious public universities in the country: eg UC Berkeley, UCLA), that ranking is pretty eye-opening.
  14. That was most certainly elite. And they were dumb as fuck, too, which made it even better.
