  4. Changing the names of Navy ships. The Trump administration is having the USNS Harvey Milk re-named. They've also delayed the start of a ship to be called the Thurgood Marshall. From the CBS story; Harriet Tubman may be the bravest American in history or certainly in that class of the courageous who cannot be surpassed. I'm ashamed that I didn't know her story until the last decade. Milk was a dive instructor in the Navy until he was discharged for being gay. They had to throw him out of the service. Donald Trump couldn't be dragged into the service. He'd have gone down on the recruiting officer if getting a gay deferment were his only option. The kernels of corn in the shit of every person named above outshine Donald Bonespurs Trump. Racisim, sexism, homophobia all on display via the Navy due to the shitwad president and the ocean of shitwads who either voted for him or couldn't be bothered to vote at all. Goodnight, America.

  8. Fuck off with that bullshit. Multiple articles have already been linked here stating that the site suffered severe damage. I know that I've posted at least a couple that have said the same thing. Not a single soul has denied or disputed that. There have been in-depth discussions, specifically speculating whether the delicate centrifuges could have survived the blast, depending on how they were stored and packed, or if they were just left in place or moved off-site. Do not confuse mocking premature celebrations of total OBLITERATION by the rah-rah-rah clownshitshow brigade with being happy that Iran might still retain the capacity to make a bomb. No one here wants that.

  9. All I know is, America will "course correct" in 2026/2028, followed by a boomerang back to American fascism in 2030/2032 because Democrats didn't fix everything in 1 term. That is the standard that the America media and "education" system and social media brain rot has put onto American voters - Democrats have to fix everything in 4 years or be punished harshly Republicans can break everything and then be voted back in to break it again.

  13. From the JT side I can confirm that he doesn’t have a problem being in the same class as Ojo. He has even texted Ojo about it. I will say Ojo is really feeling himself and when he makes comments about being the number one tackle in the country he means that and expects to get treated and paid as that. His NIL ask is way higher that JT3. Texas just needs to make sure they continue to make JT3 feel like a priority cause there have been times where they acted like it was a done deal and didn’t put in the required time. As of today I expect Texas to get both. They are going to match on Ojo and the officials visit with JT3 went really really and capitalized on some built in advantages.

  25. And then he acted like he'd solved college football. He got lazy on the recruiting trail. He refused to give high school assistants gas money to bring their players to Austin at a time when other schools were paying them $500 to $1000. Never mind trainers and other hanger ons. He wouldn't let his assistants leave the Austin area during the football season, so the only high schools they could visit were in the Hill Country, when all the talent is in DFW and Houston. He told Muschamp he was stepping down after the 2009 season and then didn't. He cock blocked Saban, making sure he didn't resign until after Saban signed the contract for Alabama that had been sitting on his desk unsigned. At a time when programs were first starting to pay players and their families for unlimited "unofficial" visits Mack refused to extend any offers until summer camps. Then he'd take early bread as part of his strategy to build momentum. Then he'd take bread at the end of the recruiting cycle because he'd already lost on a lot of top targets. Then the recruiting services would overrate the players Texas was taking because of the name. You give him credit for the national championship. Heck, he came close to winning two if not for Colt's injury. But the truth is he and Greg Davis almost successfully ruined Vince Young by trying to alter his throwing motion and have him line up under center virtually every snap. It wasn't until after the Missouri game in 2004 - after that embarrassing shutout to OU - and the uninspired play versus the Tigers, that Ray Seals, VY's high school coach, came to Austin and read Mack Brown the riot act for not putting VY in the shotgun and running zone read. So yes, Mack Brown gets the credit. He should. But in many ways he succeeded in spite of himself. The real credit from me isn't the national championship or the 10 win seasons or the bowl victories. It was rescuing Texas football from an institutional apathy. Because I'm not sure someone other than Mack Brown and his particular set of gifts could have done it nearly as well. This was a guy who convinced the North Carolina faithful to pony up for what at the time was the Taj Mahal of athletic centers, at North Carolina of all places, while he was going 1-10 for two consecutive seasons to start his tenure. There is no question the guy could sell ice to the Eskimos.

  27. This. Nobody doubts that damage was done to equipment and materials of Iran's nuclear program. The administration claims - these are the literal words - "total obliteration." No information or evidence supports that claim. The questions remain: was Iran's nuclear program effectively ended for the foreseeable future? Or was it just set back? If it was just set back, for how long? If Iran can get back to where it was in less than a year, then it's a pretty short setback. If Iran can't get back to where it was for several years, then it was a material setback. If Iran can functionally NEVER get back to where it was, then that's a lot closer to "obliteration." I don't think any person evaluating what is known, and acknowledging what remains unknown (and probably will remain unknown for several more weeks/months) would have a different take. Yet we have leadership and victory-lap-posters on this thread acting as if the only two options are "TOTAL OBLITERATION!" or "YOU ARE FAKE NEWS AND HATE AMERICA AND OUR TROOPS!" Fucking idiotic binary thinking, but America 2025, so yeah.

  36. Needs to be said bluntly that this is absolutely insane. CIA director tweeting blurry photos of a press release (why?) to satisfy a demand from POTUS. “Great sources at the CIA report that the emperor had clothes on and moreover they are the most fashionable clothes ever.” In real time we are watching the dismantling of the most effective and powerful national security apparatus, from intel to diplomacy to influence to defense, that has ever existed. By choice by bored people who elected the most boring and venal man alive.

  39. @Anastasis still thinks this is balanced science and not political bullshit. He still thinks there is nothing to see here and that this is a balanced panel. https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/06/all-childhood-vaccines-in-question-after-first-meeting-of-rfk-jr-s-vaccine-panel/ All childhood vaccines in question after first meeting of RFK Jr.’s vaccine panel Beth Mole – Jun 25, 2025 6:04 PM | 116 A federal vaccine panel entirely hand-selected by health secretary and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gathered for its first meeting Wednesday—and immediately announced that it would re-evaluate the entire childhood vaccination schedule, as well as the one for adults. The meeting overall was packed with anti-vaccine talking points and arguments from the new panel members, confirming public health experts' fears that the once-revered panel is now critically corrupted and that Kennedy's controversial picks will only work to fulfill his long-standing anti-vaccine agenda. Controversial committee An hour before the meeting began, the American Academy of Pediatrics came out swinging against the new panel, saying that the panel's work is "no longer a credible process." The organization shunned the meeting, refusing to send a liaison to the panel's meeting, which it has done for decades. "We won't lend our name or our expertise to a system that is being politicized at the expense of children's health," AAP President Susan Kressly said in a video posted on social media. The panel in question, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), has for more than 60 years provided rigorous public scientific review, discussion, and trusted recommendations to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how vaccines should be used in the US after they've earned approval from the Food and Drug Administration. The CDC typically adopts ACIP's recommendations, and once that happens, insurance providers are required to cover the cost of the recommended shots. The system is highly regarded globally. But, on June 9, Kennedy unilaterally and summarily fired all 17 esteemed ACIP members and, two days later, replaced them with eight new people. Some have clear anti-vaccine views, others have controversial and contrarian public health views, and several have little to no expertise in the fields relevant to vaccines. Last night, it came to light that one of the eight new appointees—Michael Ross, an obstetrics and gynecology physician—had withdrawn from the committee during a financial holdings review that ACIP members are required to complete before beginning work on the panel. With the remaining seven new members, ACIP's two-day meeting began this morning, despite calls for it to be scrapped. The new ACIP chair, Martin Kulldorff, introduced himself by proudly relaying that he had refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and was fired from Harvard University as well as an ACIP working group in the past. Childhood vaccines under attack Kulldorff's first order of business was to announce a new working group to review the safety of vaccine schedules in their entirety, rather than the safety of individual vaccines. Kulldorff was echoing an anti-vaccine talking point that children today get too many vaccines. "In addition to studying and evaluating individual vaccines, it is important to evaluate the cumulative effect of the recommended vaccine schedule," Kulldorff said. "This includes interaction effects between different vaccines, the total number of vaccines, cumulative amounts of vaccine ingredients, and the relative timing of different vaccines." Although children get more vaccines now than they did in the past, modern vaccines are more efficient at training the immune system against pathogens, exposing them to fewer elements of germs (antigens) to generate protective immune responses. A handy explanation from Yale's School of Public Health notes that children under age 2 in the 1980s got vaccines against just seven diseases—but those vaccines targeted over 3,000 antigens. Today, children under age 2 get vaccines against 15 diseases—but those vaccines target just 180 antigens, asking much less of the immune system. Further, the cumulative effect of vaccines is baked into testing. When new childhood vaccines are tested in clinical trials, the children participating in those trials are still able to get every other vaccine recommended for them—withholding proven vaccines from participants would be unethical. So, any vaccine safety and efficacy trial includes children who are getting the entire vaccine schedule in addition to the vaccine being tested, providing information on cumulative effects with every new addition. Kulldorff also said that the panel will go after specific vaccines, including the hepatitis B vaccine, which is given to newborns. The AAP immediately hit back, calling this "unscientific and dangerous." AAP highlighted that the hepatitis B vaccine is safe and lifesaving. Babies infected with hepatitis B at birth have a 90 percent chance of developing chronic disease, and 25 percent with chronic infections will end up dying from it. Thanks to vaccination, there were only 13 cases of hepatitis B in 2022. “Very concerned” During the full-day meeting, the seven new members listened to CDC experts review data on COVID-19 vaccines and RSV vaccines and monoclonal antibodies. In the discussions, ACIP member Retsef Levi—who is an expert in operations management—made a puzzling critique that the CDC's method for evaluating COVID-19 vaccine efficacy analysis didn't account for "alternative" explanations like "the vaccine is actually making you more vulnerable for multiple viruses." Meanwhile, ACIP member Robert Malone—who has claimed to have invented mRNA vaccines and is proud to be called an "anti-vaxxer"—spread false misinformation that certain lots of COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous. ACIP member Vicky Pebsworth—a nurse who is on the board of an anti-vaccine organization—said she was "very concerned" that the CDC's safety monitoring systems were not capturing all of the adverse events from vaccines and said the committee should have access to "data that we probably wouldn't ordinarily have." A CDC subject matter expert noted that there are published studies showing that the CDC's safety monitoring systems capture a large majority of adverse events. The committee ran over time and did not vote on anything today. But tomorrow, it will vote on an RSV monoclonal antibody discussed today, as well as on influenza vaccines, which will be discussed on Thursday. The agenda also includes presentations on a measles vaccine that has been the target of anti-vaccine activists. One presentation on flu shots will come from the former president of Kennedy's anti-vaccine organization, the Children's Health Defense. The slides of that presentation have been posted and will focus on the alleged dangers of a mercury-based preservative thimerosal, which anti-vaccine advocates have long falsely linked to autism. Already, researchers and media reports have noted that the presentation supports some of its claims with a study that does not exist.

  40. Makes me almost stroke out. There is not much about the Valley to attract an outsider; even less now that the citrus groves are gone and summer is hotter than it once was, as impossible as that seems. We have one state football championship. We have the cheapest houses in the country. We handed over a place of stark but real beauty. Home to shorebirds and pelicans and rattlesnakes and redfish. We were told the rich man would put us on the map. And he did. He blew up his rockets and showered the shorebirds with debris and closed the beach and the world knows where we are. Damn if that isn’t the story of the Valley.
