  1. So did the ultra talented 2023 and 2024 teams. Despite all that NFL talent on the roster, we somehow managed to lose 5 games over two years and nearly dropped a few more. Sark has major flaws, and he is either incapable or unwilling to fix them.
  2. “Name three songs by Slayer.”
  3. The ICE commercials were far less offensive than the game coverage.
  4. On a related note, part of me is enjoying watching the Longhorns shit the bed against Florida.
  5. Sark is not a good coach. An insane collection of talent and a little luck obscured that fact the past two seasons.
  6. I don’t know what Slot is doing, tactically. But I’m pretty sure he doesn’t, either.
  7. This is why you don’t play two midfielders as the right side of your back line.
  8. I’m not a fan of Garnacho as a player but he was a pretty good frontman for Sugar Ray.
  9. I’m shocked—SHOCKED—that a business school professor would have such dumb opinions. Well… not THAT shocked.
  10. Well, I successfully converted a few die hard Republicans into reliable Democratic voters in recent years. And I did it by appealing to their intellect and morals, not pandering to knee-jerk dipshittery. But it takes effort. Too many of y’all lazy fucks view the masses as irredeemable idiots. Many are. But you don’t need to sway them. There are more than enough good people on the margins who can be snapped back into reality. Jesus. It feels like I’m debating a bunch of Bill Mahers in here. “The only way we can save our cherished principles is to give up on them.” What a brilliant idea!
  11. I’ve had several recent conversations with friends who are falling into the same trap as Bozo. “My rational, educated buddies want to support Democrats, but can’t bring themselves to do it because of [insert anti-woke propagandist canard of the week].” The problem isn’t Democrats. The problem is your friends are fucking stupid. Stop indulging them. Stop being polite. Lead. Help them understand that what they’re hearing and seeing is bullshit propaganda designed to have them doing exactly what they’re doing: staying on the sidelines while fascists take control.
  12. Y’all are losing the plot here. I will not dispute that scammers, robber barons, and sociopathic parasites joined forces with the ignorant right wing mob to elect Trump. But caving to their demands is not the brilliant strategy y’all seem to think it is. You’re basically proposing the political version of the “Let the plague spread so we’ll have herd immunity” theory.
  13. For Christ’s sake. You can’t save the Republic from the brainless mob by pandering to the brainless mob. That strategy only ensures the collapse. Fascism has been defeated many times, but only by restoring reason and institutional safeguards to politics. It might take years or a generation of suffering. But that’s the only way.
  14. I’ve witnessed Warren enchant entire rooms of people, in person. Reading a room is not a weakness. But she’s also not going to start catering to the lowest common denominator. So if appealing to the grouchy toddlers that are the American voting public is the standard, yeah she’s probably not going to get a room full of them chanting inane shit.
  15. That one is by far my least favorite of the three way options you listed in your post.
  16. That might make you feel good for a few minutes. But then it would dawn on you that our last shreds of hope just outed themselves for a performative stunt. We’re well past the point of showy, high-minded resignations having any positive impact. Better to have decent people remain in place to prevent catastrophe when it approaches.
  17. That’s the problem.
  18. At least he wasn’t out of focus.
  19. It’s solipsism and laziness. Your personal experience is all that matters. As long as you’re doing okay, it’s not worth the energy to look around and see what’s happening to other people. It’s much easier to dismiss them as whiners or freeloaders, and to show your Sophisticated Political Cynicism by shrewdly observing that both sides are the same.
  20. Dems have managed to fall into a position where every minor annoyance is their fault. Cracker Barrel’s new logo sucks? Democrats. There are too many non-whites on TV commercials? Democrats. Starbucks didn’t wish me a Merry Christmas last October? Democrats. They ruined our beloved green M&M gooner bait? Democrats. It’s amazing. Every single pop culture development that annoys the dingdongs on the right gets attributed to the Dems or “woke.” It’s the old “Thanks, Obama” meme writ large.
