  1. Good job, news media, nobody could have seen this coming. Other than non-morons, I mean.
  2. Like I said, I don't expect others to follow suit. Most people love their bread and circuses. But I personally am not going to send money to support the public face of an entity controlled by and capitulating to this stuff any longer.
  3. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-18/disney-executives-to-meet-with-kimmel-assess-talk-show-s-future https://nypost.com/2025/09/19/media/disney-bosses-want-jimmy-kimmel-to-de-escalate-before-putting-show-back-on-air/
  4. But that's exactly why he can say "stop commenting on political shit and never again go on a political show."
  5. Yeah I have zero expectation I'll see a dime from SS and I've thought that way for a long time. I'm not sure I can leave the country due to a child's medical situation. But for the first time I'm exploring options.
  6. Oh immamac is still getting my treefiddy for the site itself but yeah, it's regrettable overall. Collateral damage will happen (well not really, it would take a lot more and a lot more important people than just me to make a dent, again this is for my conscience).
  7. UT in general has already started well down the path of appeasing the authoritarian right. Plus, of course, it's a state institution so it's unavoidable in many respects.
  8. So Disney is talking to Kimmel to try to get him back on the air. I assume they are telling him exactly how cowardly they are and how nice they want him to be. If they come to an agreement I'm certainly not restarting my subscription but I'm sure many will. I'm using this as an opportunity to trim costs from my life by eliminating money sent to corporate beasts in as many places as possible. Unfortunately I've also had to include contributions to any entity associated with capitulating to this authoritarian regime, which means I've canceled my Burnt Ends and Texas One Fund recurring payments as well as deciding no further contributions to UT academics will happen either. So far with just media and recurring UT-related cancellations I'm at about $3500 per year saved. Imagine getting paid to have a clearer conscience, that's a win-win.
  9. Can you point me toward an instance in history where large amounts of foreign support came to a domestic populace that had slinked back into the dark? No, that comes with the bloody war option I mentioned.
  10. Fascism has never been defeated by ceding the public square to it. It requires public challenges that, yes, may unfortunately lead to bad things happening to good people. But slinking back into the dark just guarantees that your children are either involved in a bloody war or live their entire lives under the thumb.
  11. What planet have you been living on? 90% or more of their rage is about completely fabricated things that liberals supposedly say, do, or believe.
  12. This is the worst possible plan. The liars own the means of communication so the silence will be filled by more lies.
  13. Enchubben would shoot Mary and Joseph. He says so himself.
  14. Correct, he's trolling which is why he didn't address the J6 pictures offered in response to his initial BS on this page.
  15. They can and do track who is watching each channel and how much they're watching it. We are all just drops in the bucket but my drop won't be registering as viewing any Disney related channel. I will watch Texas games when the condensed games hit YouTube.
  16. Lol imagine being so unimportant to everyone in your life that you run to a message board trying to get negged so you can feel like somebody finally paid attention to you. Hahaha.
  17. Yeah I canceled my Disney/ESPN/Hulu bundle. Don't expect it to do anything but I'm not giving them any money after this decision.
  18. Reminds me of when the first radiologist didn't see the fracture in my daughter's elbow the first time and so the doctors tried to get us to make her use it after about a week. After she screamed in resistance we brought her back in and said check again and 2 of 4 radiologists saw the fracture on the next x-ray. I had seen the position of her arm when she hurt it and despite how young she was saw almost no way it wasn't broken. I'm assuming the 2 who still didn't see it now work for the Astros.
  19. L about to be clinched W clinched L about to be clinched W clinched
  20. So you're saying that hate is a feature of the right. Glad we agree.
  21. I had the Dale Murphy then got a Nolan Ryan RBG36 when I was 13 that I still have. I've tried a lot of gloves over the years and went through a lot with my son but have never found a better one than that.
  22. What's the rule on playoff roster for Cole if we make it? Already sad about how great Cuban Greg Oden could have been.
