[ETA: Consider my post the tedious long version of @The Dog's concise observation.]
This is an interesting development.
She says idiotic things that please her constituency, but maybe she's not an idiot at all.
Did she cunningly embrace MAGA for cynical reasons? Is she now cynically reading the tea leaves and wanting to get out front before the bombs fall?
- She embraced MAGA.
- She vomited out everything the cult wanted to hear.
- She made a national name for herself.
Trump's errant policies alienate the base voters. Trump is obviously wasting away mentally.
- She's smart enough to be the first rat off the listing ship.
- She starts redefining herself as not so radical.
- She openly disagrees with Trump.
- She clearly breaks with the plan to prop up Trump in office for a third term.
- She suggests she may run herself as though Trump will not be a factor to her chances.
We often underestimate our enemies with careless declarations about their lack of intelligence. I begin to wonder about Margorie. Despicable but maybe not stupid.
I disagree that MAGA is going anywhere. They'll bicker over shit but will always align come election time, at least national elections and swing state elections.

Bye week, yet we have something to hate for. Fudgepack vs fecals, who to root against more? Gotta go with potential help getting the fudge draft pick a bit earlier.
By the way i bowled a 216 last night in Marshawn's honor, my best game yet. What did you worthless motherfuckers do for humanity?
Anyway, hope that changes the discussion a bit. I will accept all hatred in order to get that done. You're welcome, sports fans.
Hating the Giants and Eagles has made everything worse because they have SB trophies in recent memory. Even fucking Washington had their run last year. Thanks for changing the conversation. Die Jerry Die.

"The renovations are expected to reduce the stadium capacity from 47,000 to 30,000, creating a more premium and community-oriented experience."
I like the big picture plan, including reduced seating capacity. The nicer amenities, adjacent greenspace, and connection to Rice Village across Greenbriar, are all positives.
Agreed, crazy that over the years it'll go from 70K to 30K.

What are the odds on Munetaka Murakami being the next 3rd baseman for the Dodgers?
Pretty high. Their working on a $1.5 Billion contract payable through 2075.

Doing some extensive renovations to Rice Stadium and the surrounding area. I think Rice is a cool place to still be playing FBS football but man anytime I tune in there looks to be maybe 1000 people in attendance. The price of $120M seems way low for what looks like tearing down an rebuilding an entire side of the stadium and adding all sorts of stuff around the area not to mention there is probably still some 75-year old infrustructure that needs to be completely replaced as part of the work. Surely those dorks did the math correctly.

LOL, my comment was going to be, maybe she finally took her lithium. Regardless of what’s happening she can literally go fuck herself and if she’s serious about helping the country she should voluntarily disappear. If she was crazy before, fuck her, it led her to a career as a lawmaker where she treated people like shit and used her position to harm others. If she was faking before, fuck her for having no values whatsoever and just playing political winds. If she’s really seeing things different now, fuck her still, she should at a bare minimum apologize for being a complete cunt to so many people, and then should, as I said, fucking disappear. There’s no reconciliation tour from her past. Not as a lawmaker at least. Maybe mend some personal relationships but stay the fuck away from government of any kind.

Lol, 0.0% huh? And you are on here exclaiming that everyone else has zero understanding of mental illness? You would be 100% wrong that reaching out to people and showing you care/love them makes no difference. It can make all the difference.
42 minutes ago, royiv said:Seems like his girlfriend was worried about him and trying to reach out to him. How did that work out? You have no clue about how mental illness impacts people. Take a break, dude.
I think the issue is the suggestion that “check in on your loved ones” and “reach out to someone if you need help” has never saved a life (0.00%). That's not possibly true. You don't think there are situations similar to this where a girlfriend/spouse/parent/sibling/etc. was able to talk them out of it in the moment? The advice also isn't limited to the minutes before the act is accomplished. There are many situations where people spiral for months and even years before making the ultimate decision and succeeding in taking their own life. Again it can't be 0.00% that one of those calls didn't intervene at the right time during that spiral to get someone on the right track and avoid what might otherwise end up in suicide. It's also not possible that 0.00% of people in this state of mind ever listened to advice to reach out to someone if help is needed.
Otherwise, the point that our country doesn't take mental health seriously enough is valid. There is certainly a lot of talk about it in the last few decades but our infrustructure around it still sucks shit, especially for people who are poor and cannot check themselves into a facility or otherwise seek professional help. From a broader perspective there are things in U.S. society that cause these issues even for successful people with financial means, including our insistance that everyone must participate in the rat race, and even people with decent salaries struggle with housing costs and financial security. It's the dumbass ethos of "rampant individualism" that has infected the US that makes people feel weak for even questioning their own mental health and often looks down upon people asking for help. There are volumes to discuss on this issue and leads in some respects towards CR so I'll just leave it there I guess.

If I am James Franklin and I wanted to be a real motherfucker, I would sign on to coach at the next university for minimum wage due to the offset language in the Penn State contract. Then I would go to my new school and say "Use my coaching salary as an NIL warchest". You would turn some shit around super quickly and hamstring Penn State in the process.
Just now, Not a cat said:Not sure if Franklin's contract explicitly carved it out, but with duty to mitigate there's typically a reasonableness standard. He could go a couple million below market and it probably wouldn't be worth PSUs time to litigate, but something like what you describe would be a slam dunk.
Yup, these contracts always include that language, except for desparate aggy contracts. It goes to the question "why settle"? Both sides want a clean break without the need to calculate or litigate whether a coach complied with these relatively vague standards i.e. "diligence" "appropriate" "good faith" and "reasonable salary." It's a situation where both sides know at the time the contract is entered into that it is vague and expectations are to negotiate a settlement if required.

Unless he donated his brain for study I don't think we'll ever know. Maybe his family can donate it if they want to know? I think it's a fair question but should be answered only if the family wants to know.

wont embed, but basically Obama is an empathetic and normal human being and dotard is a fucking pod.

They changed that rule midway this season (probably due to all the crazy early and midseason firings). OSU was grandfathered, so your players got to portal immediately afterwards whereas other schools the players have to wait until the regular portal window opens.
I did not know that, just looked it up and you're right. Players can still opt out I assume and preserve a redshirt if they have it available. Gundy was fired after game 3 so anyone who played in those games could sit out and preserve the redshirt (again if they had it available).

So when does the portal open for the teams that fired their corch? When the corch is fired, or when the new corch signs the contract? Or some other date?
Follow up, how long is that window open?A 30 day window opens after the firing but they can also enter the portal during the regular period. We had some guys enter the portal after Gundy was fired but are still playing. I guess the advantage is to put yourself on the radar of other teams to see if they want to make you an offer after the season. Still can’t transfer mid semester as far as I know.

We're like 25 years into the word "socialism" being thrown around outside of what it actually means, and now "communism" is going the same way? I really wish Bernie (or whoever came up with it) used a different term than Democratic Socialism. What he and 99% of the "super progressives" are advocating for work within the capitalist economic system. It's about regulating capitalism and taxing enough to ensure people have a bare minimum quality of life in which they can eat, have a roof, and see a doctor instead of dying from curable ailments. Even rent controls work within capitalism (something I'm not a big fan of but at least it's something). The closest I've heard of his policies is opening some government owned grocery stores but they would be in competition with privately owned grocers so what's the big fucking deal? I've never heard any politician or candidate of note suggest that the government take over Walmart, Mansanto, Ford, etc. The closest I've heard, in fact, came from anti-socialist ultra-capitalist Donald Trump who had the government take ownership shares in Nippon Steel. Unless and until we can start using these terms correctly there is no hope in my opinion. Just scary buzzwords that are now entrenched. The right wing meltdowns about Mandami are pure fucking insanity, literal breaks with reality.

The fit doesn't feel right but yeah I'd take Franklin in Stillwater if he wanted to coach here.

Hope he's right obviously, but David Shuster is not a legit reporter these days.
I’m pretty sure he posted something after the Kirk murder that was wrong. Also they’ve had access to these files for almost a year now, anything negative has been purged. Whatever gets released, if it ever happens, will have no mention of dotard or any of his friends. I expect nothing from these files I just like that it pisses him off.
