  1. oh right. i see that important distinction is indeed made in the text. 

    carry on no big deal. 

    nevertheless, it's my opinion that the statement was unnecessary and I'm not particularly happy about it. in fact, a statement like this, the votes of confidence from old guard types, rarely ends well for the person in question. 

    hartzell needs to go. throw eltife out with him. the call is coming from inside the house

     

     

  2. i just got a mail from the exes declaring support for hartzell in my name. 

    I'm fairly unhappy about it but I'm just a nobody so whatever

    This weekend, the Class of 2024 of The University of Texas at Austin will celebrate its Commencement. As we move forward as a community, the Board of Directors of the Texas Exes, the official alumni association of UT Austin, wishes to offer our support to President Jay Hartzell. 

    We represent 570,000 alumni worldwide, and there is no way we can speak for such a large and diverse group, many of whom have vastly different opinions about the important global matters that sparked the recent protests at UT and elsewhere. We can, however, speak from our experience working closely with President Hartzell and watching him lead this community through some of the most challenging times our campus has experienced.  

    During his time as president, we’ve seen firsthand that the safety and well-being of our students are President Hartzell’s primary focus. He is a thoughtful and principled leader who is fiercely committed to free speech. The job of a major public University president has always required making difficult decisions—but this is a time in our history when the crucial issues of our First Amendment rights and campus security must be constantly considered.  

    This Board believes President Hartzell, with all the facts available to him, took appropriate action to protect students and prevent the campus from being overtaken or “occupied” by a group that included individuals who are not students, faculty, staff, or alumni during a pivotal time of the school year. He has the full support of the governing body of the Texas Exes.

    Sincerely,
    The Texas Exes Board of Directors

    I described your childish behavior with an apt comparison. Clearly it hit a little too close to the mark, you don't seem pissed and sensitive about it at all. I'm sorry you're a sensitive little boy, Tommy. 

    congrats! you've won an internet point today. 

    hope that helps the kids vote!

    you've since real good work today Sydney!

    You literally suggested with no hint of evidence that the President of the United States loves watching college students get their skills cracked. And at any point, you could have claimed you were pissed and went too far, or didn't really mean it, or walk it back. Instead you've doubled and tripled down at me for being critical of your shittastic HAWT TAKE, and you're acting all butthurt becuase you're acting like a MAGA fucktard who watches newsmax. 

    You are a known poster of 25 years. Which is why it's so perplexing to see you go completely off the fucking deep end on this topic. But yeah, I'm sure you were just being sarcastic and continuing to be sarcastic. Which, btw, if it were true, you could have just said "I was being sarcastic you dumb motherfucker" the first time. But you didn't. 

    hold on i need to check Newsmax. 

    you come at me with ad hominem bullshit like that and expect civility?

    go fuck yourself. 

    biden is a boomer doing or allowing cruel boomers to do boomer things. 

    did i miss where he decried our governor sending in goons to back up a peaceful protest? he's always had a tough on crime old school boomer mindset. that's why he isn't succeeding with the youth. 

    but keep telling kids about infrastructure I'm sure they fucking love that

    Can't respond on the merits of the accusation, so just going to deflect. It's like I'm exchanging posts with incredulity. 

    oh hey guys I'm totally over here trying to have a serious discussion with Newsmax guy here. from the jump, i came into this discussion like a reasoned, calmer than you are person, you all saw, and Newsmax guy over here might have sarcastically stated that old man crime bill biden might enjoy uppity youngsters getting smacked around. WE CAN'T HAVE THAT GET THAT NEWSMAX SHIT OUT OF HERE KNOWN POSTER WITH THE SAME USERNAME FOR 25+ YEARS! STOP TROLLING LIKE INCREDULITY

    whatever

    yall keep telling young people what to care about

  6. if only the protesters would stop nonviolently breaking stupid rules. it's almost like stupid rules are put in place to be broken so those making the rules can make some examples or of the rule breakers

    don't yall see the protesters are making the cops do this???

    Where in the fuck are you pulling this completely fabricated bullshit from? Why don't you just come out next and tell everyone that he's brain damaged and his handlers are injecting him with drugs to do speeches. Just completely made up bullshit, straight out of Newsmax. Get the fuck out of here with this stupid unhinged garbage.

    of course you're right I'm just parroting Newsmax

    Not a fan of "we have rules but have decided in this particular case they don't apply". Bad precedent to set IMO.

    lol

    dumb authoritarian bullshit rules are meant to be disregarded and discarded.

    He cannot go “Free Palestine” without losing a shit ton of older moderate democrats, you know, people who actually vote. The kids who say they won’t vote for him probably weren’t getting out of bed to vote anyway. The youths were supposed to start saving us like 20 years ago, and yet, here we are.

    i know i know if course your are right but fuck. 

    i don't even want him to go free Palestine but you know some part of him enjoys watching protesting kids get their heads cracked by state police riot goons

    He wants to forgive all student debt. He wants to give women autonomy over their own bodies.

    What the fuck is the other side doing about their “issues”?

    I don't think that's true, but he needs to do more to show that that's not the case.

    hey I'm team biden. 

    but he's leaving a ton on the table because he's a fucking boomer who can't get past simple boomer issues. 

    i think he is trying but he's an old school politician fighting an enemy that doesn't care about the rules because they aren't just immoral but pretty much amoral.

    biden saving union jobs in the Midwest looks and sounds good to boomers but we all kind of know that ship has sailed and young people cannot at all identify with that kind of thing when they and their friends are getting the old shareholder value layoffs. 

    union jobs lol.

    This is 100% correct.  I've had the conversations, multiple times, with at least a couple of dozen new voters.  They won't vote for Trump, but they won't vote for Biden, either.  I'm talking smart, educated students, but they're naive and unaware of the nuance of what is going on.  Biden will suffer because of it.

    biden is suffering because he doesn't give a fuck about young people and young people issues

  12. so.... what the fuck happened with a bunch of cops on bikes this weekend? did someone die? 

    I35 northbound was shutdown at 10ish Saturday morning. shutdown for real. like the flyover from ben white was closed with people out of their cars waiting. 

    then yesterday it looked like some kind of cop parade was shaking up downtown. horses and flags and the whole bit. 

    anyone know?

    I mean this is straight up because of Columbia and a bunch of shitheads on other campuses and an overreaction to keep that from happening. It’s not a nothingburger and it was completely fucked in its handling and Hartzel lost control of the university and what is important about this kind of thing. He allowed the university to become a political plaything. 

    "allowed?" Pshhh

    Hartzell’s letter also appears to ascribe a meaning to the word occupy that is above and beyond the generally accepted meaning of being in the space. And using the term as sometimes to imply “without authority to do so.”  Then acting on the implied meaning prior to any actual rules being violated. 

    “Nobody is allowed to occupy campus” is such a red herring.

     

    and we will have dps occupy campus until the previous occupiers deoccupy. if you don't dps gonna go riot police. in austin, the general rule is riot police = police have arrived to start the riot

    Seems like a reasonable memo. Let's be reasonable people and allow for the reasonable protestations while letting those who want to ignore the commotion and simply go to school, do that.

    I feel like Hartzell might be writing his own walking papers if he encourages or quietly allows another police showing like yesterday. 

    thugs need thugs for control.

    goes for abbott too

    Completely and pure speculation, but I could see the thinking and reasoning being an overreaction to the Harvard and Penn presidents who were fired--er, resigned-- due to their not stepping in and allowing things to get out of control. So maybe he's thinking about his job, which is kind of ironic, give that this overreaction the other direction is more likely to cost it than inaction (probably) was.

    Heavy is the head that wears the crown, I guess.

    whatever. dont forget columbia but we aren't them. 

    heavy is the hand that wears the crown is more like it

    Hartzell wanted to avoid campus interruptions and maintain student safety, so he called the cops in to create disruptions and threaten student safety. 

    hartzell and eltife both need to go. 

    fuck them both. 

    i was on campus when jesse jackson came to town after hopwood blew up everything and lino graglia went rogue.

    that was an old school civil rights protest and i don't even remember the cops that day.

    I take issue with the lack of specificity of what rules were being violated, by whom, when, and what was done about it.  
    I also wonder why, at a public university, he feels the need to mention non-students participating or why it’s important. 

    because he's pro fascist. seriously, what fucking UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT calls in the fucking state trooper anti riot police to smash up a peaceful protest with tried and true kesselschlacht warfare tactics?

    also, incredulity got it for a couple of days. more incoming and or I'm just going to move obvious political thread to political forum. 

    yall decide jesus christ you bunch of children

  19. lol at lights being timed at all for efficiency. there are so many shit examples but loyola in general has lights that blow. my personal favorite for time immemorial is the seeming inability for the city to time lights on a schedule. ain't no college kids crossing dean keaton at 8 am on a sunday but that doesn't stop all those lights from going red so ghosts can cross on non school days.
