  1. Met him before at a live podcast he and David Roth did. Those two are my favorite writers on Defector.
  2. https://defector.com/butlerian-jihad-now?giftLink=45a1ec6058d4f9c38b1b4d4cfda671cd I know I am repeating myself, but become a subscriber to this site. One of the owners, Kelsey McKinney, is a UT alum and she’s a fantastic writer, published author and had a successful podcast called Normal Gossip. The writer of this particular blog, Albert Burneko, is one of the most intelligent and gifted writers I have ever come across. They are running a new subscriber special of 5 dollars a month for three months as well from what I read. They advocate vociferously for Transgender rights, LGBTQ rights, Women’s rights, Civil Rights etc. They are what people here want in a site for intelligent writing. The sports blogs are the best writing that I have found as well. This blog by Burneko should hit home with all of you that have children.
  3. I want to say more out of frustration in seeing this senseless death, but I have nothing. I read a good article on Defector this morning about this. I will post a gift link to it. This AI garbage that isn’t real AI is going to be the most toxic part of our society within a decade.
  4. Well, as a really big advocate of history and all that it can teach us, I think looking right now at Italy in the 1920’s would be a good place to go to find a country that went through this. It’ll give you a good outline of what we will be seeing on the horizon.
  5. The end of the Rolling Stone article. Somebody go and buy every Patriots hat of the Belichick quote of “Do Your Job” and hand them out to the cowardly Democrats to wear. Go and do your freaking job and stand up to a dictator or get the heck out and get someone in there that will.
  6. I will gladly take this man as well. Stand up and account for yourself and the people you are entrusted to serve as well as protect from harm. This is quite literally their job whether they will acknowledge that or not. Pritzker is showing he gets it. The cowards who are toeing the party line and saying nothing need to go just like the cult members in government.
  7. I met one of the actresses in this show. I don’t know how big her role is, but she was really nice. She’s Māori and her story of how she got into acting as a teen was unique.
  8. So glad to know that he has zero knowledge of the two world wars from the 20th century and how each ended. Jesus tapdancing Christ this guy is an absolute imbecile.
  9. He's a moron. You attack this idiot by speaking the language the idiot is familiar with. Newsom and his team get it. Congresswoman Crockett gets it with her hat choices and words. You stop with the formality of how you talk and you talk exactly like TFG does. I have zero use for clowns like Jeffries and I am sure I am far from alone on that.
  10. There are absolutely vile racists in this for the torture of others, there are those who are in this cult for the grift and some are there for both. TFG is definitely in it for both. This is still closer to fascist Italy though. Not entirely, but there are more similarities, especially the mob-like mentality.
  11. No one. Not one single person in that cult will do it. Rules only matter when people agree to follow them. That time has passed for the time being with our fascist government.
  12. Thankfully this is an issue I do not have to contemplate. ASU’s football history is nearly non-existent. Dillingham may change that for the better, but if he doesn’t then whatever. Having a functioning government and country is more important than a college football team winning games. I’ll gladly take ASU going 2-10 every season if that meant maga was permanently done for and that the Republicans party ceased to exist/is banned permanently.
  13. I tell tourists to get out of Waikiki and go visit that area and really anywhere else on the island. Waikīkī is just where you wind up spending a bunch of money for a fraud of an experience in Hawai’i.
  14. That side of the island is quiet and there is nothing wrong with living in Kahuku. I would have gladly chosen to be there had I visited the area last year before moving. The Polynesian families here like areas where it is quiet and that place qualifies as peaceful. Areas also change. No place stays the same anywhere. 30 years ago Williamsburg was not hipsterville in NYC. It changed. Same as here and everywhere else.
  15. If you would have actually visited here you’d know that living on that side of the island is the desired place to live at. Since you obviously have not though you are talking out of your backside.
  16. Was in Costco a few weeks back and they were already selling the Nativity scene setup.
  17. And that’s fair. We all set aside some disbelief at times for a movie like this though.
  18. Saw that DC had Lampasas ranked in the top 25 to begin the season. I am not certain if they made that ranking still thinking Ty Johnson would be playing for the Badgers this year. He transferred out to Crean Lutheran in Irvine, CA where he immediately got put into the top 20 recruits in CA in 2027 and is in the top 150 nationally. I can’t argue with him leaving to go to a school that has a four star QB in his class. Lampasas would have been ridiculously good though with him and RB Jett Walker (WV commit) had he stayed as well.
  19. Do you think he won’t expand it further? He’ll just build an adjacent structure to it with no roof or toilets to house people.
  20. And tonight that dachshund walked out to the middle of the Rainbow Bridge and pissed all over Dobson with a smile on its face.
  21. I think we have passed the point where he cares what a court says. That thing isn't closing until TFG is no longer in power.
  22. Among the MANY, MANY things that absolutely have to happen once we are through this is the jettisoning of the entire grifting clan. All of them have to get deported. You can't leave any of his kids in this country. If you don't then another generation will be revisiting this garbage down the road and it'll be the fault of those who didn't kick this grifting clan right on out of the country permanently.
  23. I have mentioned a few times on this board that I am a paid subscriber to Defector. Albert Burneko is one of my longtime favorite writers on there going back to the Deadspin days before they all quit en masse. Today Albert did what he does best (Besides his articles about the Wizards) and he wrote a few things about Dobson. Here’s a gift article. Again I highly suggest subscribing to this site. It is the exact type of site people here want to be able to read and they are a couple of weeks away from their five year anniversary. https://defector.com/james-dobson-is-dead-was-a-monster?giftLink=09927193fd80f11d1b0f45264e4ad0e6 Edit: The comments after the article from those who suffered abuse because of Dobson’s teachings is rage-inducing.
  24. Not this guy. You will not see me reenacting the scene from Blazing Saddles asking about them. Now a Brazilian, Ethiopian or Nigerian and you’ve got my attention.
