  1. Congrats to all the Surly Bobcats!
  2. I watched the first two seasons with everyone else, but skipped the third last summer when I was in the process of moving. After seeing all the comments in this thread about how bad season 3 was, I never watched it. Do I need to watch season 3 to enjoy season 4, or can I just go find a recap of that season and proceed with 4?
  3. Looks like this photo is from his ID. https://channel2now.com/2025/06/30/article/news/crime/coeur-dalene-shooting-suspect-identified-as-wess-roley-2-firefighters-killed-one-injured-canfield-mountain/
  4. Something similar appears at the 23-second mark of this 49-second video.

  6. Dem "proud to be an American" has plummeted since 2016, while Indies are more of a slow erosion, but they're getting to the same place. The table showing party affiliation by age cohort is really telling.
  7. AP has a report out. 22 killed as Israeli forces fire on Palestinians in Gaza seeking food aid, witnesses say CAIRO (AP) β€” Israeli forces killed at least 22 people and wounded 20 others, many while attempting to get desperately needed food aid in southern Gaza on Monday, according to witnesses, hospitals, and Gaza’s Health Ministry. Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said it received the bodies of 11 people who were shot while returning from an aid site associated with Israeli and U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund in southern Gaza, part of a deadly pattern that has killed more than 500 Palestinians in the chaotic and controversial aid distribution program over the past month. Ten others were killed at a United Nations aid warehouse in northern Gaza, according to the Health Ministry. The southern Gaza strike happened around 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) from the GHF site in the city of Khan Younis, as Palestinians returned from the site along the only accessible route. Palestinians are often forced to travel long distances to access the GHF hubs in hopes of obtaining aid. Witnesses recount firings by troops Yousef Mahmoud Mokheimar was walking along with dozens others when he saw troops in vehicles and tanks racing toward them. At the beginning they fired warning shots in air, before firing at the crowds, he said. β€œThey fired at us indiscriminately,” he said, adding that he was shot in his leg, and a man was also shot while attempting to rescue him. He said he saw troops detaining six people, including three children, and it wasn’t clear what happened to them. β€œWe don’t know whether they are still alive,” he said. Monzer Hisham Ismail, another witness, said troops attacked the crowds while returning from the GHF hub in eastern Khan Younis. β€œWe were returning from the American aid hub … we were targeted by (the Israeli) artillery,” he said. Nasser Hospital said another person was killed near a GHF hub in the southern city of Rafah. The Israeli military said it was reviewing information about the attacks. In the past, the military has said it fires warning shots at people who move suspiciously or get too close to troops, including while collecting aid. Israel wants the GHF to replace a system coordinated by the United Nations and international aid groups. Along with the United States, Israel has accused the militant Hamas group of stealing aid and using it to prop up its rule in the enclave. The U.N. denies there is systematic diversion of aid. The Israeli military said it had recently taken steps to improve organization in the area, including the installation of new fencing, signage and the opening of additional routes to access aid. Israel says it only targets militants and blames civilian deaths on Hamas, accusing the militants of hiding among civilians because they operate in populated areas. Strikes in and around Gaza City intensify In northern Gaza, at least 10 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on an aid warehouse in Gaza City, according to the Health Ministry’s ambulance and emergency service. It wasn’t immediately clear whether there was aid at the warehouse. The strike in Gaza City came as the military intensified its bombardment campaign across the city and the nearby Jabaliya refugee camp. On Sunday and Monday, Israel issued widespread evacuation orders for large swaths of northern Gaza. Palestinians reported massive bombing overnight into Monday morning, describing the fresh attacks as a β€œscorched earth” campaign that targeted mostly empty buildings and civilian infrastructure above the ground. β€œThey destroy whatever left standing … the sound of bombing hasn’t stopped,” said Mohamed Mahdy, a Gaza City resident who fled his damaged house Monday morning. Fares Awad, head of the Health Ministry’s emergency and ambulance services in northern Gaza, said that most of Gaza City and Jabaliya have become inaccessible and ambulances were unable to respond to distress calls from people trapped in the rubble. The Israeli military said it had taken multiple steps to notify civilians of operations to target Hamas’ military command and control centers in northern Gaza.
  8. I think it reflects the genuine opinion of many progressives, especially younger ones. If asked during the 1990s, a younger me could have been the author, but I mellowed somewhat after having a kid, and then Obama came along, which made me think the party was beginning to head in a more progressive direction. But, you know what, that younger me wasn’t entirely wrong, and much of that statement does ring true about the party’s leadership. In some ways, Democrats are the conservative party, just trying to protect the status quo, which has definitely given them the stench of stale losers for a lot of voters.
  9. Some bizarro world shit going on in the West Bank with Settlers attacking an IDF base because a Jewish teen was shot with a rubber bullet. The officer who shot the kid thought he was a Palestinian, but he was a part of a Settler group that was attacking the officer with rocks. It’s believed members of this same group may have also been some of the same ones who rampaged through a Palestinian camp last week, in which the IDF somehow ended up killing three Palestinians. At least, I think that’s what was going on, but I’m going to need a diagram, flowchart, or something to be sure. The story is kind of hard to follow, but it's clear the Settlers are out of control, and it's incredible how much they get away with. Free link: https://archive.is/LyjgL

  12. I suppose you’re not aware that this thread was originally intended for what was going on in Gaza, but then, when Israel started bombing Iran someone had the bright idea of changing the title and allowing the Israel/Iran shit to be posted in here under the title of "Isreal vs Everyone," which is an add-on bonus war to the ongoing ethnic cleansing taking place in Gaza and the West Bank, which is what the last page of posts has been covering almost exclusively. The Iran shit is done (for now) and we're back on the original topic. Keep up.
  13. What doesn’t make sense to me is when people, such as yourself, handwave away the murder of starving women and children as if their lives held no value.
  14. Go to bed. You’re fucking drunk.
  15. Could you diagram this sentence and then explain what the hell it’s supposed to mean? Also, please expand upon β€œI’ll kinda enjoy it no matter what it is.” What is it? What exact part of noncombatant civilians being murdered in cold blood do you "enjoy"?
  16. Gidget likes it up there, too. Here she is a few minutes ago, getting freaked out by Season 3 of Squid Games.
  17. As I was catching up, I was planning to mention that I thought Austin had switched from May to November municipal elections a few years ago, although I didn't realize there'd been opposition to it because it made complete sense to me at the time.
  18. From the best I can tell, this will be the conference realignment for FBS teams in 2026. Please let me know if there's anything incorrect.

  20. Mad Max shit, I guess, for the rest of us then.
  21. Icono's wet dream comes true: Monarchy at the top; then the Houses of Musk, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Bezos; followed by the warrior caste and some sort of merchant class; and of course serfs and/or slaves at the bottom.
