+1 on The Decameron. That show was funny as all get out. Edit: @RomaVicta, I think you especially would like it. I'm about to start the second season of 1617, an absurdist comedy set in medieval Poland.

Wild. West Texas will be more humid than East Texas.

Correction. They were fighting as infantry in Ukraine. It's doubtful many are alive today.

I went with the drool one, because he is so fucking stupid.

22 minutes of the Democratic Party sucks ass. @pyrohornIII I hope your guy understands how fucking frustrated and angry we are with this POS party's fecklessness and cowardice, which is causing enormous harm to you, me, and everybody else, will result in this country's and our beloved state's downfall. Yes, I understand that the blame ultimately falls at the feet of the fascists who hate democracy, but the sheer ineptitude of the party that's supposed to look out for the little guy is utterly fucking staggering. Since my first vote (1992), I have not voted for a single Republican at any level of government. Holy fuck, I've even voted for Libertarians because they dared put someone on the ballot in opposition to the Republicans, because the Democrats were too lily-livered to even be bothered to put up a damned candidate. I now live in a community that voted about 80% for Donald Trump, and yet, almost everyone I talk to is pissed off about everything that's happening, including those who voted for the orange beast. But, you see, the problem is they don't have anyone to vote for that will stand up to all this bullshit, so they stay on the gotdam sidelines. What the fuck is wrong with you people? @pyrohornIII, copy/paste and send every word of this post, including the clip below, to Kendall. I am your party's wet dream: a middle-aged white guy, who grew up in modest means provided by two Evangelical Southern Baptist, die-hard conservative public school teachers in a small West Texas town, and who has completely rejected all of the shit that Republicans preach, but I still hold my nose at voting for the shit the Democratic Party serves. PS: I figure you probably work your ass off fighting the good fight, Pyro, so I hope that you don't take any of the above personally. I'm just mad as hell and can't take it anymore.

That kind of obstinate historical revisionism--a result of either being delusional or a fucking dishonest liar--is why I put him on ignore several months ago, but that was regarding the ongoing Gaza genocide. Even if you just limit the accusation to ethnic cleansing by Israel, he denies it and brings up fantasy land bullshit. It's like talking to a brick wall, so I gave up and cut him off, refusing to engage the asshole any further.

Coach Sark Press Conference 10.6 - 11:30am (LHN app or ESPN app)
bolverk replied to BigOrange1's topic in Football
I think it was during the press conference after the SJSU game when he took a question about Manning grimacing so much during the game while passing the ball, raising the possibility that he’d injured a shoulder. Sark said something to the effect of: "Arch is fine. I don't know why y'all are focused on his facial expressions. We don't worry about the faces y'all (reporters) make sitting on the toilet." -
Where do you rank Switzer on your hate list?

Pretty much nails it. She's the one with whom I'm the closest to having made that radical transition. To fill in more details, she moved out to El Paso, became a hairdresser (i.e., no education beyond high school), and met this guy who was stationed at Fort Bliss. Got back in touch again, and she's ranting about the liberals killing all the babies. I still love her because she was integral to our tight-knit group of outcasts in a rural West Texas high school, but my gawd, she is lost.

Absolutely this. Abortion became a reinforcement mechanism for a lot of Blue Dog Democrats who weren’t already happy about their party embracing the Civil Rights agenda, and played an enormous role in the party realignment that occurred from 1965 to the early 1990s. And, obviously, a significant part of that realignment was the infusion of Evangelical Christianity into Republican doctrine, so much so that one could argue that this infusion made Republicanism akin to an actual religion; hence, the religious zeal so many hold for the party as they’ve accepted Trump as their savior messiah and rejection of science, logic, etc. These folks see themselves on an actual crusade. For example, I know this one Hispanic, The Cure-loving chick who was part of my close-knit group made up of the geeks and the freaks of my high school. She was full-on Goth back in the '80s: wore all black clothes and black lipstick, had a partially shaved head with other parts spiky, dabbled in witchcraft, etc. But her dad was an Evangelical minister, so she was kind of messed up with a weird mixture of religious beliefs. Until FB came around, I'd lost all contact with her, and come to find out that she's now full-on Religious Reich and married to an ex-military guy. Anyway, those of us from that same group have maintained a group text chain since the beginning of the pandemic that we put together to keep us all sane. Well, within a few days of Kirk's murder, which we very carefully avoided any discussion of to placate her (I mean, none, as in, not a word), she abruptly left the group without comment. No one noticed at first, and very few of us are active on FB, but I got curious about whether she's okay (she hadn't responded to direct texts from any of us) because she's had some serious health concerns over the last few years. She had posted the flag of the Knights Templar and spouted off about it being time to restart the Crusades with multiple posts about Charlie Fuckin' Kirk. What we seem to realize is that many of these people see themselves as called on a religious quest to fundamentally (pun intended) change this country. Their party *is* their religion now, and they are entirely unreachable by any rational argument. Of course, this doesn't describe every single GOP voter, but I think we downplay how far gone many are. There is no policy, nor any charismatic personality from outside their fucking flock, that will convince them otherwise. They are the impervious core festering inside the Reich. Edited to add: The abortion issue was the single cause for her embracing the GOP, which I failed to mention above.

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
bolverk replied to Captainant's topic in Daily Texan
We have a 4-page thread, containing 165 posts and counting, discussing the attempted murder of an elderly man by some famous drunken douchbag. Now, imagine we were to learn that an agent of the State murdered a US citizen while doing horrible shit to other brown people, and the State lied to the public about what happened. My goodness! One would think there’d be at least 10 pages of Surlyites discussing it. Is this now so normalized that a message board full of ostensibly college-educated adults doesn’t give a shit? Or is that out-of-sight, out-of-mind is the go-to coping mechanism for the dickweeds who are too ashamed to man up to what they wrought? -

I granted your point, yet still maintain that partisan speeches by the Commander in Chief, dehumanizing his political opponents in front of uniformed members of the military, are at the very least inherently authoritarian. Knowing the particular policies of this regime pushes the ball across the goal line into fascism.

Youth Minister's (and other pervs) Thread of Shame
bolverk replied to tx 3 putt's topic in Daily Texan
I'm sure @jkates will come running along soon to tell us they’re all fine, upstanding Christian men, spreading the Gospel to all of us ungodly heathens. "Once saved, always saved." - the Southern Baptist credo -
No idea of the occasion, but your point is fair. I'll revise my previous post: "Dehumanizing rhetoric about political opponents in a partisan speech in front of uniformed service members reeks of overt fascism."

Dehumanizing rhetoric in a partisan speech in front of applauding, uniformed service members.

Kristi Noem Says ICE Will Be ‘All Over’ the Super Bowl After the homeland security secretary’s comments, Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican rapper who will headline the Super Bowl halftime show, responded on “Saturday Night Live.” Kristi Noem, the secretary of homeland security, gave the clearest indication yet that agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement would attend the Super Bowl in February, where the Latin superstar Bad Bunny is scheduled to headline the halftime show. Asked on Friday by the right-wing [plagiarist] podcaster Benny Johnson [on the Russian payroll] if there would be “ICE enforcement” at the Super Bowl, Noem replied, “There will be,” adding that federal immigration officers would be “all over” the event. “I have the responsibility for making sure everybody goes to the Super Bowl, has the opportunity to enjoy it and to leave,” Noem said on “The Benny Show.” People should not attend the event, she went on, unless they are “law-abiding Americans who love this country.” Bad Bunny, a Grammy-winning musician who is from Puerto Rico, rose to fame with hits such as “MIA,” “I Like It” and “Me Porto Bonito.” He recently finished a 31-show residency in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, saying he chose not to perform in the continental United States because he feared that his fans would become targets of ICE agents. After the N.F.L. announced last week that he would appear at the Super Bowl, which will take place on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, Calif., far-right commentators complained that Bad Bunny did not sing in English and that he had been openly critical of the Trump administration’s immigration policies. Johnson wrote on social media that Bad Bunny was a “massive Trump hater.” When Johnson suggested in his interview with Noem that the N.F.L. was sending a message to the Trump administration by choosing Bad Bunny to headline the Super Bowl halftime show, Noem replied, “They suck and we’ll win and God will bless us.” Bad Bunny, who hosted the season opener of “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, used his monologue to respond to the backlash. “I’m very happy, and I think everyone is happy about it,” he said, referring to his Super Bowl appearance. “Even Fox News.” The show then played a montage of Fox News hosts whose words had been spliced together to say, “Bad Bunny is my favorite musician, and he should be the next president.” The artist later spoke in Spanish, saying that his Super Bowl performance would be an important milestone not readily erased. “And if you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn,” he added. A representative for Bad Bunny, a representative for the N.F.L. and a representative for Roc Nation, which will produce the Super Bowl halftime show, did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Saturday. A spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security said, “There is no safe haven for violent, criminal illegal aliens in the United States.” The Trump administration has for months cracked down on illegal immigration in several big cities. U.S. citizens, many of them Latino men, have been stopped by ICE agents and in some cases taken into custody. Noem’s comments echo those made by one of her chief advisers, Corey Lewandowski, on “The Benny Show” on Wednesday. “There is nowhere that you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally,” Lewandowski said. “Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else.” “We will find you,” he went on. “We will apprehend you. We will put you in a detention facility, and we will deport you.”

Odds on FOX Sports or Clay Travis taking this racist piece of shit off the air?

Ah, yes, because this obsessive stable genius, a fan of a team that's now 3-2 with dim prospects for the remainder of the season, is "taunting" an undefeated one that will likely be favored in all of its remaining conference games and a solid chance of making the playoffs. Now, mind you, I -- an alumnus of the University and fan of the program since the days of Earl -- personally take no pleasure in seeing Texas play like shit. But that particular poster is a Grade A piece of shit.
