  1. Exciting player! Hayes Fawcett needs to be arrested, though.
  2. One thing I can’t shake is the absolute lack of… anything (?) from this team. Even the celebration last night felt more like “well, this is what we are supposed to do when this happens” rather than some genuine outpouring of emotion. Maybe I’m projecting or maybe I’m just spoiled from the rare vibes we had for a decade, but it is really hard to get attached to these guys.
  3. Merely calling Republicans "weird" gave the Democrats more momentum than they'd had since Obama. Imagine what could happen if they go all-in with that.
  4. A couple of months ago my mother randomly ranted about how unfair it is that Pete Rose is not in the Hall of Fame. I was taken aback, as I didn't know anyone had thought about Pete Rose in years. Finding out it's a MAGA thing makes SO MUCH sense now.
  5. Gonna see that one on the highlights tomorrow.
  6. This post immediately after one about an aggy player in the portal is *chef's kiss*
  7. 100%, but we shouldn't give him credit for taking steps to fight the fire he started... especially when there's still a fucking fire happening.
  8. Tariffs have still increased, meaning the average citizen will pay more... but they have not increased enough 1) for any company to move manufacturing stateside or 2) to eliminate income taxes. So, all of the downside without any of the (admittedly bullshit) upside. ART OF THE DEAL!
  9. I hope the appropriate parties receive credit for this bump. Thanks Joe!
  10. RIP return of American manufacturing (2025-2025)
  11. Baseless “DEMOCRAT X IS DOING SOMETHING WRONG!!!” claims for four years. Followed by ”Republican X can legally do that thing since y’all didn’t punish the Democrat for something we made up!!” Repeat until I walk into the ocean one day.
  12. Times like this emphasize how effective not-in-power Republicans are at tying ANY negative international development to the Democrats, and how the Democrats make no effort to return the favor.
  13. Just googled Marqez to refresh my memory and learned that after he left Texas, he got his masters at Berkeley and then returned to campus to work in a non-athletic role. Pretty badass.
  14. Definitely thought this was the same dude as Malik Muhammad, but I guess I just got my alliterative Dallas-area DBs mixed up. Was wondering how he was only a Sophomore last year. /nokatfid
  15. New Pope kinda a drama queen, get on with it homie.
  16. You have to compare the situations. How many top 4 picks have landed on a team that finished top 2 the next year? Our biggest weakness was (and still is) shooting, so we got the best shooter in a weak draft. Given the current construction of the team, who picked after Reed would have made a bigger contribution? Maybe Edey could have taken some Adams minutes? Like I said earlier, I see no reason that Reed can't eventually play the Buddy Hield role for this team.
  17. Amen is untouchable. Get rid of whatever else it takes to get Giannis, and make them take Jalen.
  18. This checks out. From the few races I followed, Republican-endorsed candidates tended to emphasize why they would be good Republicans. The Democratic-endorsed candidates seemed to emphasize why they would be good for the position. Likely not worth reading too much into, but de-nationalizing local races again would be a welcome development.
  19. When I went to research the different KISD candidates, the very first sentence from Perez on why he should be re-elected to a FUCKING SCHOOL BOARD was that he was a “strong Christian conservative.” No additional research needed. Proud of the voters.
  20. Warriors don’t have the legs for this. They looked dead out there.
  21. We don't. It is.
  22. This is the stage of the game where you can start to look at how each player is being edited and ask the question "does it make sense for the eventual winner to have been edited this way?" I think Joe, Eva, Kyle, and probably Shauhin can all answer yes to that question. The casual viewer would easily be able to understand why any of these folks won. Kamilla and Mitch aren't there yet, but they could potentially move up if they mastermind a big move to take out one of the big dogs. Mary hasn't been a relevant character (other than inadvertently getting David voted out) since Sai left. I think it's a safe bet that she doesn't win. Honestly not sure there's been a season in recent memory where 6 out of the final 7 could all still realistically win the game.
