  1. Those frosty margs at 45th & Lamar sure are nice and tasty.
  2. I said it in one of the threads: We've got boiling pots calling steaming kettles black. Meanwhile, our feudal techlords and billionaires are laughing as they divide us citizens into subjects and serfs. That's the plan.
  3. So fucking what? Do you believe in black magic and evil curses? Or are you just trying to stir the pot? If you'd actually read your article, you'd have come across what's in the screenshot below. Did you post content that you haven't actually reviewed, solely based on a headline you came across, or are you intentionally trying to deceive us?

  5. I haven't seen anything other than Speed's post above. While the video is from a distance, the zoomed-in still frame makes it look like the bullet passed through his neck.
  6. So, we can all see the next logical steps in the hellish timeline, right? Maybe not in this exact order, but I can see folks getting fed up and starting to protest more—maybe a little more lively this time. Maybe ICE/LASD/LAPD dudes instigate shit. Maybe it gets more violent, and a crackdown comes. Maybe some dudes know a guy who knows a guy, and eventually get a hold of some military grade shit from the cartels or their domestic suppliers from the US. Maybe they decide to use some of that shit for domestic terrorism purposes. Maybe none of that happens, but the feds false-flag some shit like the Empire on Ghorman as a pretext for a *real crackdown* on Hispanics. Maybe everyone starts to (well, even more than Montgomery County types) associate Latino brown skin like they do Middle Eastern brown skin with terrorists. Maybe the story this time is they’re aligned with those evil cartels down in Mexico. Maybe that’s always been the story about the cartels; they’ve been trying to destabilize America all along with sleeper cell street gangs in their quest for the Reconquista—fireworks across northern Mexico, the American Southwest, and beyond. Congrats, we’ve destabilized ourselves, intentionally, with a paranoid conspiracy theory. Who will be our savior? Who’s the only one who can fix it? What do Fox, OAN, and Newsmax say? What do Rogan and all the other podcast bros on the payroll of our feudal tech lords say? What do our white nationalist evangelical leaders say from the pulpit? Who can stop this chaos? Will SCOTUS or Congress stand in the Chosen One’s way?

  10. Maybe it’s the hefty, giant national sales tax they’ve been touting as a replacement for the income tax.
  11. Long piece about the militarization of the cartels. Figured this was the best place for this. And, given the increased calls for US military action in Mexico, it should be on our radar. https://archive.is/dPX5Z The explosions began before dawn, shaking the ground and rattling windows in the darkness. With them, residents said, came the telltale buzz of drones. “We knew the devil was coming,” said Ana, a mother of six who grabbed her children and ran as gunmen moved in to do battle. Weeks later, her town still bore scars. Holes were blasted into roofs where drones had dropped bombs. Craters gaped where land mines had exploded. Spent .50-caliber shells glinted in the dirt. The clash was not in a war zone of Ukraine or the Middle East, and the combatants did not belong to any army. They were criminal groups, armed with military-grade weapons and fighting just a few hundred miles from the U.S. border, in Mexico’s western state of Michoacán. Ana, a mother of six, looking out of a window in a wall scarred by bullet holes at her home in El Guayabo. Some of Mexico’s most formidable cartels are locked in a vicious arms race on multiple fronts. On one side, they are battling the Mexican government, which is under intense pressure from the United States to crack down on the drug trade. But they are also fighting one another for territory and resources, leaving a deadly toll among their members and the civilians caught in between. Now, President Trump has ordered the Pentagon to begin using military force against certain drug cartels designated as terrorist groups. The directive has infuriated Mexico’s leaders, who have rejected the idea of U.S. forces on Mexican soil. But despite their disagreements about what actions to take, officials and security analysts in both countries agree that cartels are amassing new levels of firepower, transforming some groups into full-fledged paramilitary forces. Drug smugglers and cartel gunmen no longer wield just handguns or automatic rifles, officials and experts say, but also Claymore land mines, rocket-propelled grenades, mortars built from gas-tank tubes and armored trucks mounted with heavy machine guns. They are burying improvised explosive devices to kill their rivals and modifying drones bought online to make attack drones, loaded with toxic chemicals and bombs. An array of recovered improvised explosives recovered by the state police force bomb squad in Morelia, Michoacán. Casings are commonly made from plastic bottles, cut drainpipes and even fire extinguishers. “We cannot continue to just treat these guys as local street gangs,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in an interview with EWTN, a Catholic television network, last month. “They have weaponry that looks like what terrorists, in some cases armies, have.” Mexican officials say that most of the military-grade weapons that powerful groups have acquired originated in the United States, and that up to half a million firearms are smuggled south each year. The officials say that criminals also reverse-engineer weapons, sometimes 3-D printing parts to build them. Nowhere are the consequences of this varied and growing arsenal starker than in the rugged hills of Tierra Caliente in Michoacán, a swath of fertile farmland and lush mountains that has become a strategic corridor for drug cultivation. The battle for control there between rival groups — including the Knights Templar, La Familia Michoacana and the group with the most military power, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel — has pushed the fight into a new, more brutal era. cont'd

  13. The Texas Tech Saddle Tramps are sort of akin to Texas' Silver Spurs as a student organization.
  14. Tech with a second TD on a quick strike pass after blocking a UAPB punt.
  15. Tech with a quick scoring first possession against their cupcake, UAPB.
  16. That line drive punt with no air didn't give UTSA much time to get down there.
  17. After last season's futility, this has got to be cathartic for the Seminoles.
  18. I read it as 11 of his 30 attempted passes were off the targeted receiver. That comes out to 36.666%
  19. They just showed this graphic during the halftime show of the Bama/Fla State game
  20. We've got a Bama @ Noles thread, guys.
  21. FSU scores. Tied 7 all.
  22. Why are you using such a huge font size?
  23. You see all that crap in your quote? That's your tapatalk fucking up. Kill the app and just use your browser.
  24. This feels like Vince's first RRS in 2004.
