  1. JFC. Seeing this cast of characters getting huge positions in Trump's cabinet is fucking nuts. It's like if Kramer was elected President, and he came up with a list of his Cabinet preferences. VP: Newman State: Jerry Seinfeld Treasury: Morty Seinfeld Labor: George Costanza Defense: Mickey Abbott Transportation: David Putty Justice: Jackie Chiles Education: Stan the Caddy Health & Human Services: Dr. Assman Interior: Elaine Benes Agriculture: Jay Riemenschneider Energy: Sally Weaver Commerce: J. Peterman Veteran Affairs: Frank Constanza Homeland Security: Bob Sacamano Housing & Urban Development - Lloyd Braun
  2. Just let it play out, if you don't mind. Most posters will probably need proof it can work before they chime in. It will take time. But my thread title was obviously confusing and didn't help.
  3. @immamac, can you rename this the Surly Truce Thread, or something? My intention was a thread where Surly posters can have a respectful dialogue about issues, not a national truce.
  4. Respectfully, can the people that are super cynical about his thread just refrain from posting in it? I know it's gonna be hard to have a sincere dialogue with partisan posters, but let the ones that want to try have a chance. There are plenty of other threads to vent on.
  5. No matter if there’s any truth to it, conflating Trumpism with Nazi Germany was a losing message, is a losing message, and will continue to be a losing message. Time to workshop some other strategies.
  6. The party apparatus is broken and still operates in the 20th century. Gotta re-build and modernize from the ground up first, and then a crop of candidates that make sense will start to appear.
  7. Same. It will probably be a full on echo chamber within a year. We all knew it was bad for our mental health and the election was the excuse to finally cut the cord. It's only been 5 days but I already feel much better. Our brains weren't meant to be pelted with so much information and constant bullshit. I won't "check out", but I'm also not gonna worry about this shit 24 hours a day anymore.
  8. That was the lowest point for us. My god.
  9. Everything points to a massive change with the offensive staff next year. OU doesn't have the money to fire BV.
  10. Ok, man. You think A&M will be a cakewalk, I get it. I hope you're right.
  11. Look at the people who own legacy media.
  12. Wrong. They emotionally reacted to being left at the altar by Lincoln Riley, and gravitated toward an older coach with no HC experience because they knew he loved OU and would be loyal. It was a shortsighted and reactionary hire and they are getting burned. In the end, to the people that matter, football has to be good. They don't want to be known as a softball school. And this is way more embarrassing for them as a member in the SEC now.
  13. Beshear doesn't have the juice. That said, I can't thing of any good candidates at the moment. Democratic Party needs to enter the 21st century first, and then maybe a viable candidate will appear.
  14. It feels like even Fox News is a relic of the past at this point. It helped the Trump in 2016. But after 2020, a lot of people moved on to other right wing media. Everything is moving very fast in the media space. I'd guess by 2028 there will be a few VERY popular media channels that aren't on our radar now or don't even exist yet.
  15. Legacy media is dead, and if anything this election proved it died years ago. I'm Generation X and don't really watch any regular TV anymore outside of sports. With the ease of streaming and modern TVs, I find myself on YouTube a bunch. It's completely free. I can imagine younger people on tighter budgets not paying for any cable TV at all. You can find streams of any live sports game if you search for it. And the right has smartly taken advantage of YouTube and dominates it. Rumble is almost entirely right wing political content. But I think even the right got caught off guard with how dead legacy media is. In their wildest dreams they were not expecting this sort of electoral domination.
  16. It's a code red situation in Norman. Just talked to a Sooner friend and they are passing around the Augie locker room video on social media to rile themselves up even more. It's not just Venables. Their AD is understandably coming under fire too.
  17. I know Sooner fans are pretty bummed about this season, but I hope this one really hurt.
  18. Look, we are better than A&M, but they have talent on the D-Line and the atmosphere is going to be bonkers .
  19. Quinn had a good game. The Moore drops were unfortunate. OL protected well and he was comfortable today. The concerns about Ewers are not on an every week basis. He didn't get consistently pressured today and did well. I think most people are understandably eyeing the A&M game as a concern.
  20. These guys were not persuadable in this election IMO. Maybe they will be in the future. I don't think going on Rogan would have changed anything for Kamala on Election Day. Dems went with old school campaigning and it was too late to make a difference. BUT I do agree future candidates 100% need to do these long form podcast interviews moving forward.
  21. Maybe. But my point is you have to keep is simple and be disciplined when dealing with Trumpism. Says something evil or stupid? Just call him a dumb motherfucker every time. Don't equate his supporters with him. It's all bait. If we ever can convince people that he is a shitty President, it will be through focusing on actual failures while keeping half of American voters' names out of it.
  22. Nothing Trump says hurts him. It's been proven over and over and over. But people twist in knots over every goddamn thing. Move on from dissecting the rhetoric. It doesn't work. Focus on the tangible results or lack thereof.
  23. JFC, I can't believe this shit still has legs. The bolded makes it very clear he's talking about her going to fight in a war. I understand it's hard to watch the right get away with fucking everything, but keep your sanity.
  24. Good first step.
  25. Also, a lot of Tech and AI is a scam. They know the right audience to buy their bullshit.
