  1. Sheriff Larry Weems: “This has everything to do with a guy coming onto a Perry County page posting this picture leading people in our community to believe that there was a hypothetical Perry County High School shooting that caused fear in our community – and we done something about it,” “There’s been some very, very bad phone calls that my employees has had to endure.” :Because here's the thing: whenever you're dealing with something like this and you've got multiple people that is now scared to send their kids to school, we tried to take a different approach and go and speak to this guy and say, ‘Hey, look, this is what you're doing.’" "What kind of person just says he don't care?"
  2. For a long time, the only people that liked Medicare were the people not on it. So, yeah, those who have been on Medicare for a while, who are reliable voters, might have seen it as making a shitty system more ubiquitous. I think, though, they have gained a new appreciation for it as they hear about their children paying $1500/month for health insurance.
  3. Well, I don't think that has any impact on his alcoholism or recovery. Either he can stay sober doing a job like this or he can't. Whether it's UW, USC, UT or Austin Peay. I do think he's rather taken for granted the talent he had at Alabama and is learning, the hard way, that merely good recruiting is not good enough and it needs to be backed up with evaluation, reevaluation, and constant improvement in all facets if he wants to run the kind of offense he likes with the level of execution that he expects.
  4. That occurred to me too. Something in the nature of a "functional alcoholic." However, that is belied by his history at UW and USC of uncontrolled public drinking. The very nature of alcoholism is that it doesn't get "better," or "more controlled." It inevitably gets worse. Sure, a guy that makes a public fool of himself, as did Sark, could withdraw into the bottle and avoid such public displays in the future. But that requires actually withdrawing from society, which Sark has not done. But Sark has shown a past tendency to drink at the worst possible times and once that "tendency" is exposed, if the drinking continues, the public displays will, also. So, it seems to me unlikely that Sark is going "AWOL" to drink. It would inevitably evidence itself in other ways. What's more likely is that he has to take some time off to handle shit with Loreal, or whatever, and to avoid drinking in the first place. Given his history, I would be surprised if CDC would tolerate really completely AWOL, that is unexplained and unexcused absence. That's also contrary to the recovery mindset of honesty and admission that trust has been betrayed. I would believe, however, that his absences were explained to a select few who kept a pretty tight lid on it in the belief that offering explanations violates his privacy and invites more controversy.
  5. Why not a bike bike or a scooter or motorcycle?
  6. Global elites! Drink! While a global elite goes balls deep in your ass.
  7. Well, to be fair, you did say Sark was a "ticking time bomb" in close proximity to the absence allegation.
  8. The DT link. https://thedailytexan.com/2025/10/28/university-conducts-audit-on-all-curricula/ Ominous: The University needs to have a curriculum that fills gaps in its courses for completeness, Davis said in his speech. He pointed to the School of Civic Leadership, which focuses on civic studies, open discourse and political philosophy, and welcomed its first class this fall, as an example of filling a gap. This is UATX at UT. Gross.
  9. Any time the word/abbreviation NDA comes up in connection with Donald J. Trump, you can rest assured that crimes are being committed.
  10. Man, I gotta say. While relapses happen and are more part of the process of recovery than not part of it, a guy that's a chronic relapser doesn't generally recover from them in a week or a month and certainly not by returning to the lifestyle that seemingly provoked the relapse. For those poor souls, things tend to go off the rails and stay that way for long stretches of time. Think Darryl Strawberry.
  11. That's actually a river.
  12. Some good news, for now, on the court front. The 9th Circuit has vacated its ruling allowing Guard in Portland for an en banc hearing. In the 9th Circuit, because it's so huge, en banc doesn't initially mean the entire court. A random drawing of 11 judges constitutes an en banc panel. The first en banc panel declined to rehear, but they asked the entire court, 31 judges, to rehear it and they voted to do so.

  14. I think one of the keys with OU was the overaggressive front seven. Tre forced them to commit to a gap and backed out and went further out or somewhere else
  15. Get off your ghetto asses!
  16. That started as a ripoff of The New School in NYC. Commendable notion, I suppose, but has been overrun by dumbdumb state politics for a good while.
  17. Growing up poor and then getting money has the potential to screw up a lot of things, especially if that money comes fast. If you're smart/lucky, it's just overindulging your kids.
  18. I think it's pretty clear there will be no public announcement. The capitulation will go on in the background.
  19. That the rumors have been around a long time or are getting talked about more now does not relieve them of the status as rumors. I have been clued in on the source(s) on one of the rumors, and, it's better than "made up of the whole cloth," but is still unverified rumor.
  20. To be fair what Pancho said was the Republican Party has the final word on its own primaries and nominees, and so can ostensibly put forward a candidate that is ineligible for office.
  21. I guess at some point we have to acknowledge that all the vibes turn to shit and the investments are all shorts and then we have a depression.
  22. Some of the private party lawsuits included Walmart. Although this is performative as shit, he's really just bandwagoning on this other shit, that's several years old. https://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/MDL/22md3043
  23. Well, it seems the office contracted this out to a PI litigator. Be interesting to see the terms. Paxton has a habit of farming stuff out, like his whistleblower defense, to private firms on pretty luxe terms. https://www.texastribune.org/2025/07/24/ken-paxton-private-lawyers-texas-cases/
  24. Probably not, no. People can agree to all kinds of stupid shit, but that seems unlikely. According to this, https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/sec/2025/10/26/brian-kelly-buyout-contract-details-lsu-football-fired/86917992007/ LSU owes Kelly 90% of his remaining base salary and supplemental compensation, plus a pro-rated "longevity compensation" bonus to be paid on July 15, 2026. Kelly's contract was set to run through Dec. 31, 2031 or through the Tigers' final game of the 2031 college football season. Kelly has a "duty to mitigate" clause in his contract, though, which means he must pursue other jobs for as long as he receives money from LSU. So, Kelly would have had to wait six years to collect the entire buyout, which was reduced by 10% from his actual compensation, and was subject to a duty to mitigate, so a $20M lump sum probably makes some sense.
