  5. Well, this is fun. Eric Trump is an idiot. So, yeah, that is not how that is supposed to work at all. Not a shock to any of us, but still to have it said so blatently. Also, fuck Andrew Cuomo. Criminals obviously stick together.

  7. And yet, you continue to vote for the party that is 100% beholden to him. You are, in a lot of ways, WORSE than those in the cult because you fucking know better.

  12. For me, the Amnesty dust-up is a good example of how mission creep can screw up NGOs just like any other organization. For decades, Amnesty was laser focused on the issue of unjust imprisonment and extrajudicial punishment, prisoners of conscience, and ending the death penalty. They did a lot of great work in this area and were really the most credible, unbiased voice on the issue. In the early 2000s, they made a decision to expand to confront “globalization” and economic, social, and cultural human rights on the principle of the indivisibility of human rights. In practice, it means that Amnesty is pretty much an advocacy and organizing group for every progressive cause under the sun. And international and country level leadership have free reign to pick their pet cause. Groups like AI always tend to attract the progressive/do-gooder stereotype but that does not have to impact credibility when the organization is disciplined and focused on a real issue and builds up expertise. But it becomes a problem when you suddenly have no focus and competing causes in the office. AI should have learned this the hard way. In 2021 they stripped Alexei Navalny of his “prisoner of conscience” status due to admittedly discriminatory and hurtful comments he made in 2007 and 2008. Those comments were unrelated to his sham imprisonment as the Kremlin’s main opposition on fake corruption charges. And it’s clearly absurd to suggest that someone who once said something racist cannot also be unjustly imprisoned for something else entirely, and it’s troubling to introduce “litmus tests” for who qualifies for advocacy against torture and unjust detention. AI allowed ideological mission creep to prevail over their original mandate. And they had to backtrack that decision publicly. On the Ukraine report, even if the interview were done correctly and accurately, the final report presented them out of context and without the added scrutiny of military and international law experts to make nuanced and thoughtful determinations. Or even to explain how witnesses might have made mistakes in judgment or evaluation of what they saw and heard. And it happened because their expert is a very vociferous anti-war, anti-military activist.

  14. But he’s right. Aggy NIL deals are really exclusive. There’s the one kid who is getting a bag of sunflower seeds for every 12 sold from the sunflower seeds company. That other kid who sells muscle relaxers around campus has a deal with Brazos County for free jump suits and a couple of nights of free room and board every time he mentions the code word to one the Sheriff’s Departments officers. That’s similar to the deal Anus Smith recently inked with with Olde English 800.

  16. Back during the height of the pandemic my wife applied for and received unemployment. She has a little bit of a weird job where her pay is not hourly or salary and shit got complicated. She also applied for some that she probably wasn't entitled to. I told her not to do that, even though money got a little tight around that time. I didn't really understand everything, I didn't want to know, but I just told her "pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered" and not to push it. Anyway, we're two years on now and she's still fucking with it. The state is trying to recover the money they say she shouldn't have gotten, but from what I understand they are overreaching and trying to take back money she was entitled to. I was sort of disgusted by the whole thing when it first started and I have largely stayed out of it. It's been her thing to deal with. In my opinion, she has fucked it all the way up, it's her fault and I'm not fixing it for her. It pisses me off even thinking about it. At some point, maybe she got scared or I had a moment of weakness, I made an appearance during one of her hearings with the TWC. (I am a licensed attorney.) I have handled a few wage claim issues with TWC in the past and it is a very aggravating process. This morning my wife had an appeal hearing. She had asked me to stay home with our kids and dog while she had this hearing. Sure, no problem. The hearing was at 8:30. I'm downstairs tending to the kids and the dog and scrolling the news on my phone. At 8:30:30 she comes running downstairs and I can hear the hearing officer on speaker asking about her personal representative. Something like, "Do you want your personal representative on this call?" She's looking at me with this deer in the headlights look. She doesn't know what to do. So I finish slinging breakfast at the kids and haul ass upstairs to my office. I say that I'm present and that kicks off a series of exchanges with the hearing officer where he's berating me for not being present when the hearing started, my wife already said she didn't want her representative present, do not leave the phone again, etc. Dude is ordering me around and berating me and shit. When I ran up, before I even said anything, he was asking my wife if she'd received certain documents. She was flipping through them in front of me and she said she'd received something that wasn't there. I was like, "Hold on, hold on. She doesn't have that document." Guy tried to shut me down again and told me to be quiet and stop interrupting the hearing. It sort of went downhill from there for a while until I finally figured out what was going on. She had missed the deadline to file an appeal and it was very clear. The whole hearing was just a dog and pony show. No substantive issues were reached at all. If the fucking guy had just told me that from the beginning I would have just walked out of the room, probably. So, my wife didn't ask me to be part of the hearing or tell me anything about it other than it was happening and then drags me into it while the hearing is in progress with zero preparation. Let alone the fact that she fucked this whole thing up and cost our family thousands of dollars because she tried to fuck around with unemployment.

  17. The AD is hosting a pretty big event around the 2nd scrimmage on the 20th. It would be really helpful if Seven Loss and his gang use this upcoming scrimmage on the 13th to decisively move some freshmen into visible roles on the two deep on both sides of the ball, and not be pussyfooting with recent transfers either. If they go into that day mealymouthed about who the QB is and without a single new OL getting starter reps, the question by the blue hairs with serious dollars looking for reasons to believe will be "okay, so it doesn't even look like NIL fucking matters, does it?" There isn't a person paying attention to this program that believes Karic and Jones are the best options at LT/RT and if that narrative is pushed any further than scrimmage #1, there will be fallout. Sorry, that's the way this shit will go. Those guys aren't P5 starters, they're liabilities at this point, and no one gives a fuck if significantly more talented freshmen will make mistakes while gaining experience.
