It’s not particularly new for college students to believe that they have a right to silence speech they believe conflicts with their moral values, and it’s not particularly confined to the left or right. You can’t even begin to count the number of guest lectures that have been pulled down on college campuses over the last 15 years or so after undergrad groups threw fits over the content. It is fairly new for the chief executive of the country to indulge their tantrums.29 points

Oh please, the first time I had a student try to get me fired was in the 90's. And ironically, in 2023, the year before I retired, I actually tried to get myself fired, but none of my students complained.27 points

Update: -After 2 games, it is high time to write off new starters across the OL, including the 5 star redshirt freshman RT. His PFF scores have him below acceptability, and his ass needs to be cut, right now. -Based on less than 20 snaps of play, it is clear that Nate Kibble needs to be starting at LG. Meanwhile, Connor Stroh and Neto Umeozulu need to be washing towels and uniforms in the locker room to earn the remainder of their scholarship pay. -No, we mean it, it is high time to fire Kyle Flood. The guy is not developing talent. It's fucking obvious. Do not ask about the 4 guys that just joined NFL rosters. -We're clearly going to need to land 5! OLs in the transfer portal. What we mean by that is the roster just needs to be fucking flushed, folks. -It is time to consider that Torre Becton may also be a problem. There's got to be a reason players are not developing on this roster. -Steve Sarkisian has lost the plot and we're being publicly lampooned for his restroom grimace commentary.25 points

Step back and look where we are. Four days ago, the fucking Speaker of the House said that the President is an FBI informant in a case involving the trafficking of a thousand girls, many or most of which were underage. It's barely in the news today because the lunatic president declared that Chicago was soon going to find out why the Department of Defense has been renamed the Department of War. Also, just last week, the president and his family cashed in to the tune of billions in their latest cryptocurrency scheme. All the while, the economy teeters on ruin, not because of anything cyclical or remotely normal, but all due to the utter insanity of this stupid, thoroughly corrupt piece of shit that is constantly granted more power by the Supreme Court and a lapdog Congress. 40% of people, give or take, still support this. Anybody want to attempt to minimize this shit and tell me I'm over reacting? Any of you DTs safe space punks want to offer why you're still in that 40% of core support?23 points

At some point as a society we went from: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." To: "When you say something I disagree with, you are the embodiment of evil and must be silenced." Whenever I walked through the West Mall, I would laugh at the chuckleheads shouting from atop their milk crates. I even remember going to see a few speakers on campus who had very different views than I did and thinking "well, that guy is an asshole." But it would have been antithetical to me to want to tar and feather them. A few wedge issues where there is a black/white worldview and you fall to one side or the other have amplified this problem. To pick one from both sides: abortion and Palestine. Many people have heartfelt views on either side of those issues. It's very easy to cast the "others" on the opposite side as uncaring and evil. If you believe "words are violence" all of the sudden you are justified, in fact obligated to shut them down, shout them down, silence them, de-platform them, and demand their firing. And if you extend that, all of those consequences should not just be reserved for the speaker but also anyone who follows them, anyone who provides them with a platform, anyone who scheduled them so speak on campus and so on. There are plenty of proximate causes for the coarsening of our society: softer parenting styles, everyone-gets-a-trophy culture, social media, but my candidate is the rise of narcissism. Plenty of studies have shown that narcissism has increased, especially in the past 15-20 years since social media became widespread. It tracks: in an influencer-culture, where it's all about look-at-me, you become the center of your own world. Any disruption to that is a Bad Thing for you. When you're surrounded by amplification of your worldview by the algorithms, your internal antibodies will be strongly programmed to reject any opposing view. #MeToo, Cancel Culture, DEI, and now their analogues on the right-side have taught those who seek power that you can "defeat the evil" by getting people fired, shouting them down, getting corporations to stop working with them, or removing them from a platform. Give that mouse a cookie and he wants a glass of milk, and it leads to more.15 points

It feels like cancel culture run amok. It is very intoxicating to be able to shame or blacklist someone online. Social media has only made it easier and there's a bit of getting out pitchforks in a very public way. I guess it's easier to live in your bubble where only your worldview is fed to you. We see it on both sides with people's media feedback loops. People get shouted down for different or "offensive" speech. It's very black and white thinking. There is no longer any grey or nuance. You have to be fully committed one way and it better be "the right way". I see it with my own teens and try to challenge them to look at things from different perspectives. I relay to them my own history of thinking one way for a long time and then changing later in life. If I were held to the standard they hold people to based on my past beliefs, I would be cancelled by them. It feels like this generation doesn't allow people to make mistakes, think less than ideal things, and be able to recover from those past misdeeds. If you do something wrong at any point of your life, that will be forever held against you. It's very strange behavior that might come back to bite them in the ass since they live so online constantly. I think my oldest would be mortified if her posts as a preteen and early teenager were served back to her when she's in her 20s. It feels like a generation that doesn't want their worldview challenged. Then again, I could be an old man now who is doing the same thing my father did about my generation, bitching about how they just don't get it.15 points

I hope the era of the Dems running a bunch of "centrist" jagoffs who are bought and paid for by various lobbies is coming to an end. This country needs legislators who are passionate about issues that affect us all.14 points

sorry to cherry pick, but I can't let this go. Cancel Culture was a right-wing thing LONG before it became a left wing thing. What was anti-gay legislation and criminalizing same sex relationships? What was McCarthyism? What was the reaction to the labor movement and the suffragette movement in the early 20th century? What was the reaction to the Dixie Chicks 25 years ago? The right-side, throughout history, has used pressure, social stigmatization, legislation, and even imprisonment to "cancel" anyone who questioned the prevailing societal norms of the time.14 points

I remember when most of this shit (not all, but most), came from beret-wearing self-important dipshits from the far left (again, I remember the shanty on the West Mall). And, we (rightly in my mind) heard pushback from this about political correctness run amok, "cancel culture" (the more recent iteration of that phenomenon got this name), etc. People who "championed ideas" and said that "freedom of thought" and "liberty" (lotta "libertarians" spoke up) had a lot to say. Turns out....those people were mostly full of shit. Because now that the same approaches and tactics are being used, predictably, with much historical precedent and with much success, by the other end of the political spectrum....crickets chirping. And none of those "academic freedom" and "marketplace of ideas" types are doing jack shit to defend the values they told us were so damned important to them. Turns out, almost all the folks who got pissed off at leftists practicing cancel culture were just mad that they weren't able to do it too. Now they are, with real results, and turns out, they like cancel culture very, very, very much. It's even better when it has the full weight of the government behind it as well. Cancel culture by hippies and shit with little power? That's bad. Cancel culture with the stamp of government approval? That's AWESOME, and we should have more of it. Any of us who actually believe in liberty and a diverse marketplace of ideas? We can get fucked.14 points

As I've said before, I have more respect for MAGA diehards than people like the DT safe space Trump voters that continue to quietly support him and conveniently disappear when the shit hits the fan. The latter deserve more blame for this country falling apart, as moral cowardice is way worse than plain stupidity.14 points

Just because you specifically are triggered doesn't mean it's inflammatory. Your gender and sexuality is not political - just because you specifically vote for people who are also as stupidly confused about this (or as cynically exploitative of it) )as you are should not make this political. It is political because of your own stupid politics, not because other people are triggering you by trying to have conversation. Your confidence that everyone else is to blame for your dumb feelings is a huge part of this, but you can escape to places where people will sell your attention and buy your support by telling you that it is the other people's fault for causing you to feel this way - the industrialization of this process is another huge part of the problem.13 points

I was talking to someone I’ve known since the 70s, my older brother’s college roommate. He lives in Florida and the subject of Florida no longer requiring your kids to vaccinate to go to school was raised. He knows this one young man who was anti-vaccine and will not let his daughter be vaccinated with anything. I told him that if the daughter winds up with polio or some lifetime disabling disease that someone needs to give dad the Mussolini treatment. He instantly got offended and said he was a good man. He was just not smart in the ways of vaccines. I said that’s the problem with you MAGAs - you literally will forgive someone destroying his daughter‘s life or killing her because he refuses to educate himself on a topic where he knows there are two sides. He told me, “I don’t wanna talk politics, maybe we’ll talk later” and hung up on me. He doesn’t know it yet, but that’s the last discussion I’m ever having with him on anything. He’s the biggest misogynist you could ever find, his dad was a flat racist wife beater, and his whole world is now involved around his re-found evangelical Christianity. I guess he falls into the category of people you don’t necessarily respect that much, but have known for 50 years. Well, I know him, but I’m no longer going to interact with him. Not surprisingly, I’m one of the few people who will still talk to him - other than his friends at church who hate the crime inclined Mexicans - and who are deathly afraid of trans people. Like Jesus said to do. edit: I know this is not the vaccine thread, but my post was in a response to the issue of people being not as bad due to stupidity instead of moral cowardice. I don’t care why you support things that will cause other people to be injured and or die unnecessarily. If you support those things then decent people should tell you -“You are not one of the decent people. Go live your life amongst the scum. You do not deserve the friendship of decent people.” I have moved to the realization that not shaming people for their loathsome views is actually rewarding and enabling them - as going on with their life without consequences of any kind for their beliefs is actually the decent people enabling their views via a lack of condemnation.12 points

I just spent entirely too much time removing protective tapes, foams and plastic films from a new refrigerator. There were (3) different types of plastic film - a clear that came off fairly easily, a blue that left ragged bits along every edge that needed trimming with an X-acto knife, and a total shitshow pink that needed to be picked off in a thousand pieces like a giant crumbling human scab. Fuck you, refrigerator packaging dept.12 points

He made some comments about woke killing comedy, then pulled them back. My big take on Seinfeld is how much Larry David's writing and JLD, Micheal Richards, and Jason Alexander's acting were doing the real lifting. Candidly, Jerry continues to be the same "Have you ever noticed" guy he was in the early seasons. Just older. And smugger. Plus he loves to do the whole Comedians sitting around talking about their craft. Shut the fuck up joke man and make me laugh.11 points

I am stating accurately what happened, from the article: So what part of what I wrote is inconsistent with this? Read that, along with the quoted section in the first post where the student complained that the professor was "teaching that there are more than two genders." The professor is apparently going to be disciplined, and the Dean has been fired, for not toeing the line that transgender people don't/should not exist. Is your critique that I typed "LGBT" instead of "transgender" in my initial post? If so, stop being a pedant and maybe try to actually engage in a conversation. Again, my question is what has changed in the last generation that the typically more tolerant generation is the one being the thought police?10 points

I read this article on the Texas Tribune about an A&M Dean getting fired for not forcing a professor to toe the line and allowing her to teach that LGBT people exist. https://www.texastribune.org/2025/09/08/texas-am-video-professor-student-gender-identity-content/ Putting aside the politics of it, my main take away is that this is because some 18-22 year old undergrad got his or her or their (see what I did there?) feels hurt. I kind of expect this from the older generation. But Gen Z? Being so butt hurt that someone expressed a differnt worldview that they film it and post it online and actively try to get other professor fired? That was surprising to me. Very Karen-esque energy.9 points

Comparing OL plug and play from the portal to DTs plugging and playing are two different things. Going and getting a good fit at an OL position to mesh with the rest of the group is one thing, going wholesale into the portal is another. Not only would adding 3-5 guys mean a complete retooling of the starting lineup, but also telling 5-7 guys to hit the fucking road, decimating continuity and development of those on campus. Everyone on this thread is completely overreacting to the OL play for the first two games. The PFF score might not have been great for some of them against Ohio State, but the unit played well enough to win in that game. They played overall poorly against SJSU, but that's also what this 3 game stint is for - playing up a learning curve. We've seen OL play come together year after year with Flood. Christian Jones and the one giant dude who played for just one year as a 5th or 6th year guy and brags on Flood regularly whose name I forget both showed more in a year under Flood than they had in multiple seasons under prior coaching. I'm fine with expecting another OT in this class and wish it would be a five person instead of a four person class, so maybe they seek one more guy or two in the portal this cycle, we'll see. Turntine is ready to play from a technique perspective on day one. Is he going to be physically ready? Again, we'll see. I'm also fine with a bunch of mix and match experimenting at C and LG. I just don't think we're doomed at either spot, nor should not adding a transfer last cycle be viewed as an epic fail. Wingo looks plenty fast on the field. He's gripping and trying to make plays before the ball is secured. If he settles down, he's going to have a big year. The plays are there. That all said, you sound like a fucking idiot with your whines about the guy's speed.9 points
