  1. Wasn’t he prepping with Obama? Kamala? Anybody? And nobody said there could be an optics problem?
  2. It’s reverse psychology. They want the Trumpers who are watching to say “holy fuck I might agree with CNN” and rattle their brains.
  3. Schloss article about the team 13 days ago: But Schlossnagle isn't afraid to try to jolt the Aggies into a new era, either. Take, for instance, his decision to invite the championship-caliber Aggie Dance Team to perform at baseball games since the all-male Yell Leaders roam the sidelines at Kyle Field. "They don't get to dance at football games, which I think is idiotic," Schlossnagle said. "That's just old Aggie thinking. ... The first year, with some people you would have thought I changed the school colors to burnt orange. The repercussions were the craziest thing I've ever experienced." https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/40239132/texas-baseball-national-powerhouse-grand-expensive-vision
  4. The only way this could get better is if Schloss drives up to our campus in a Gold Trans Am.
  5. I hate these Barstool fucks but it’s a great time to watch this video again
  6. I would have called it “Lost In the Schloss”
  7. Schloss showing up at the UT SEC party
  8. Has this been posted already? I can’t stop laughing
  9. I’m loving the camera work here.
  10. The Jonestown documentary is on Hulu. It is fantastic. I’ve seen a few docs on Jonestown and this one gets to the heart of what was really going on there like nothing else I’ve ever seen. The interviews from the survivors are so detailed. I have always liked former Rep. Jackie Speier because of this. She was shot 5 times and waited 20+ hours before getting medical care. Hearing Speier say she had the exact same fear she had at Jonestown while being inside United States Capitol on January 6 does not get enough attention.
  11. People keep comparing Trump to Hitler but I see it more like Jim Jones and Jonestown. Trump isn’t taking his loyal followers to Jonestown, he’s bringing Jonestown to us. And he’s charging everybody for the Kool-Aid.
  12. VY had beast-mode leadership on the field and still wasn’t the best at dealing with the media. We need our football program to focus on media training for its stars and drill in talking points we want to say publicly in order to control the narrative of our program. Quinn is doing the best he can in this new landscape of college football. “Our backups are well trained and love this program as much as the starting QBs” type of bullshit we need the #1 guys need to say no matter what the question is.
  13. I don’t want Trump’s head on Sam Ehlinger’s body.
  14. Most people seem to forget this when the story ends with “good conquers evil” no matter what. Hitler was a maniac who actually had a chance of winning if he didn’t make the stupid move of sending his troops to Russia through the winter. Things will end very differently when a leader like this comes from the United States. We don’t have a country like the United States to police us.
  15. Kyrie to Boston: Here’s the title I promised I was bringing to everyone.
  16. Don’t forget to throw the Wahlbergs into that crush train too.
  17. I think Boston is going to have more overturned and burned out cars tonight than Kyrie’s point total.
  18. Whenever the Mavs are on a run I always assume it’s because Jason Kidd is in the shitter and someone else is coaching.
  19. If I would have told you in 1997 this dude would one day have a direct line to the POTUS, I would have sounded as crazy as Terrence Howard.
  20. If you would have told me that the 2026 Alabama Senate race could possibly be Tommy Tuberville vs Charles Barkley, I would have got up from my dinner table and walked out without telling anyone I was leaving.
  21. So Boeing is saying they took the fake titanium off the planes that were scheduled for delivery, but the ones already in the air with the fake shit are still safe to fly?! Sounds reassuring. Boeing added that it was "removing any affected parts on airplanes prior to delivery. Our analysis shows the in-service fleet can continue to fly safely." https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna157160
  22. The Paramount Decrees covered much more than a studio owning a chain of movie theaters. The Decrees created barriers between owners of production, distribution, and exhibition and set limits on what practices can be used by major studios to make movies accessible to the public. Today the Decrees are considered “outdated” because of modern streaming technology. Big streamers like Netflix, Apple and Amazon are not subject to the same Decree rules as major studios like MGM and Paramount. The idea is that since the streamers don’t have to abide by the rules, the Paramount Decrees and all of the antitrust laws it entails should be repealed to create a level playing field for movie studios and streamers alike. What gets lost in this argument is that vertical integration of the entire industry (major studios + big streamers) means independent filmmakers outside of the studio-streamer networks have an even harder chance of getting their films seen by a wider audience. What incentive do major streamers and studios have to buy independent films if they can just produce and exhibit their own films on their own platforms without paying for licensing? Since the repeal, Amazon has bought the global distribution rights to Paramount as well as buying MGM outright. This type of ownership means Amazon controls global distribution of Paramount films and can stop movies from being released by independent theaters in favor of a wide release exclusively for Amazon Prime subscribers. This is bad for independent theater owners who miss out on a highly anticipated film because it goes straight to Prime. A partnership like this would never be possible prior to the repeal. I’m interested in seeing how the Sony purchase of the Drafthouse plays out.

    Luka Doncic

    That Jason Kidd timeout during the 20 point Mavs run was stupid and gave the Celtics a chance to regroup after pissing away a huge lead. Luka’s defense is terrible but Jason Kidd’s coaching is just as bad if he can’t make the right adjustments and has THJ on the floor to do absolutely nothing.
  24. Kyrie is finally helping Boston get that championship he promised the fans.
