  1. Another field goal. Awesome.
  2. He was awful slooooow getting up. Not sure he actually wanted off the turf after that one.
  3. I'm enjoying this game much more than the Florida one.
  4. Not digging all those field goals. Credit to Houston's D. Now, an obvious interference call against Tech.
  5. @Bullneck What's going on with your posts?
  6. When I was in grad school at UT during the late '90s, I ended up dropping a real estate course at the B-school because the professor was such an outspoken, bombastic jackass who had no fucking problem voicing his conservative politics. The first day, even before going over the syllabus, the dude was waving a copy of the AAS around and ranting about the "Austin American Socialist." After enduring more of that shit during the second class, I found another class where the professor acted like a professional. Now, you wanna know what I didn't do? I didn't make a stink in class and argue with him. I didn't go bitching to the dean or president and try to get him fired. I didn't start some organization with the intent to harass him or any other professors whose politics I disagree with. I didn't go bitching to my congressional or state rep and have Berdahl/Flawn/Faulkner (whoever was in charge at the time) fired. In other words, I didn't act like one of these kookie konservative kucks like Kirk or that bitch at ATM, because I actually believe in academic freedom and elected to choose a different fucking class. I wonder if @bschoolprof is that same low-class cunt.
  7. I thought UT was still weighing whether to give in to Trump’s extortion. Have they really already announced they'll take it?
  8. This stuff is excellent on breakfast tacos.

  10. I bet they don't have a permit for their little parade, and we all know how MAGA says we should respond to unpermitted pedestrians in the roadway. Fixed it for the fascist. Yes. NPR interviewed a guy talking about them going through his neighborhood like that either yesterday or earlier today.
  11. I saw "One Battle After Another" last night. It's a must-see. Highly recommend as a glimpse at the not-too-distant future. Plan accordingly.
  12. Atlanta journalist Mario Guevara deported Friday Mario Guevara, the Atlanta-based Spanish-language journalist who was arrested covering an anti-Trump protest, has been deported to El Salvador Friday morning at 4 a.m., according to Katherine Jacobsen with the Committee to Protect Journalists. This came after the U.S. Court of Appeals rejected Mario Guevara’s ask to remain in the U.S. as his attorneys said he fears retribution in El Salvador for his media coverage. β€œWe’re not in the best spirits, but like I said earlier, he’s alive, and when this sadness passes, I know we [the family] will rise up and this time stronger. We’ll have higher spirits than ever,” he added. Mario Guevara was arrested in June during a β€œNo Kings” protest in DeKalb County. He’s from El Salvador and entered the U.S. legally in 2004. He was transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention after his arrest, even though his charges were dropped. An immigration judge ruled he could be released from detention on bond, but the federal government appealed. Guevara had applied for asylum in 2005 and was denied, but appealed that decision. That appeal went unresolved and was administratively closed until 2025. He was in the process of getting a green card through his U.S. citizen son. After his arrest, the Department of Homeland Security reopened the unresolved asylum appeal and denied it. Guevara asked the U.S. Court of Appeals to temporarily pause his deportation, but that was denied Wednesday. The court indicated in its decision that while Guevara was within his First Amendment rights to report on the protest, he did not have the proper paperwork filed at the right time to stay in the U.S. β€œTaken as a one-off, you could write off the case of Mario Guevara as an immigration issue, that someone might not have had all of their immigration paperwork lined up,” said Jacobsen, who serves as the U.S., Canada, and Caribbean program coordinator for the Committee to Protect Journalists. β€œBut I don’t think that that’s what the case is actually about. I think what we saw in this case is a really concerted effort from the government to try and deport a journalist who was very well known in the Atlanta Metro community, especially in Spanish language communities, and to curtail the ability of other reporters to go out with confidence that they could cover and live stream police activity without fear of retaliation government,” she added. β€œThat’s what this case is about.” CPJ reports Guevara has been the only journalist in prison or ICE detention in the U.S. this year.

  14. Fuck. I didn't even realize there was a first Simpsons movie.
  15. @Gatorubet @gatormarc @Litig8r Do you guys have a local connection for our fearless leader? See above.
  16. Looks like a dump, but it's gotta be better than sleeping in your car: link.
  17. But they certainly love the carpetbagging cosplay cowboy outfits.
  18. As soon as it was apparent a few weeks ago who that account belonged to, I immediately put it on ignore. He's an absolutely worthless poster who brings nothing to the table. He's just an overbearing, bloviating bore who lacks the capacity for self-reflection. And here is clumsily acting like a trollish fool. Do your best to forget he exists.
  19. Right. So, for example, supposed "conservatives" said they were all about Free Speech this time last year, as if liberals and moderates actively oppose that notion, and let's not forget, the University of Texas at Austin actively suppressed the speech of students protesting the war in Gaza. And here, they say that they will punish the University if it allows for "conservative ideas" to be belittled, which is basically saying don't let professors/students speak freely if they think one of those ideas is dumb. So, more or less, they're threatening to punish Free Speech that they don't like. Isn't threatening to punish Free Speech that you don't like the antithesis of Free Speech? Or is punishing Free Speech that you don't like actually a "conservative idea?"
