Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
William: Ls? You pimp walking a victory before the final gun, UCLA style? This somehow give you scoreboard? Nope, you're trying to ease the pain. We won our last two games against ranked teams, how'd your season end? Real scoreboard shit. See you in the parking lot! Bring your shine box.

ICE activity/raids
At least they tried. Pretty pathetic, though. Now you're speaking my language. I think the oligarchs could weather it pretty easily. The acquiescent won't even know there's one planned or care. And this is why it won't happen. The wicked conspiracy of the banks, colleges, and Congress to put all college graduates into crushing debt is another shackle. I was shocked to find what had happened since I left school in the 80s. ICE is a state-sponsored gang of violence hungry thugs. It's killing me.

Jordan Shipley - Texas Athletics Hall of Honor
I hope everything goes as well as it can. That's my sentiment in any dire situation. I've heard of the burn treatments described by @Magus Ossis, and I think there could be no worse way to learn exactly how much you value living. Wife and kids must be a pretty solid goal for going through such agony day after day. I'm not a religious man. I think all good wishes are equally valuable and prayers in some way. I would be glad of all that I could get if I were in that bed. I wouldn't be concerned about the context from which they were launched. Very best wishes to Jordan.

This kind of messaging I can get behind. All the appointees lying to defend this act and the Republicans voting down investigation of it are completely declared and shameless Nazis. Lethal shamelessness. My beautiful, little mother, back in the 80s when the death penalty was widely debated (remember things being widely debated? Sounds kind of quaint.) was asked if she could flip the switch or pull the trigger herself. "Damn right I could."

I think it's fair and astute to say that Gov Walz is (would be) the biggest corruption story in America right now. So, about those Epstein files.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Below is the stretch before the modern era. I start with 1955, but I will note that they only scored 12 points against Texas from 1894 to 1907, winning one game and tying two. Those two touchdowns were spread out over 1903 and 1904. In the same period, Texas scored 63 points. I guess the Aggies were off fighting the Boer War, probably for both sides since neither side really won. Pre-modern Era Here is the modern era (erasure begins in 1984) : Here is the post modern era or, the Post Erasure Era: In the 32 years since being erased, Texas has hardly won any games against the Aggies. Aggies dominated the national scene while Texas wallowed in irrelevance and eventually disbanded their football program. I'll note that Senor Umlaut, I think, said that there is no longer a starting date leading to the present that Aggies can cherry pick to claim a winning record against the Longhorns. Thus, the pitiful look over their sloping shoulders to a time 30 years ago, in another century, where they beat us a lot, never played for an MNC, and lost most of their bowl games.

This is even worse more pathetic than their claim to be the only 12th Man. They probably tried for traditions, code of honor, and image of persons squeezing their own testicles.

We've come a long way from star players having the right to market their NIL (undeniable change). Who knew that the NIL value of an offensive guard is huge. This isn't working out that it's just bag men going legit. "NIL" has no attachment to its original meaning. We're watching a grotesque expenditure of funds to make 20 year olds millionaires with money that could be used for things so much more valuable. I respect Michael Dell for using his billions for something else. College and NFL fans are getting what they want: college NFL except the contracts last only a year. Players and billionaires are calling the shots. I wouldn't blame Sark or anyone preferring the more orderly NFL over this free-for-all. I'm still in, but everything is feeling different. I know things had to change. I didn't foresee this kind of chaos.

Aggie scorns Tech: Seen personally in Washington DC Metro sometime in the past: They're fearless! And international! I'm sure Londoners can't believe their luck. Fair and balanced:- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
I thought about this after I posted what you respond to. I'm assuming a lot of stuff and, like you, I don't know what they're spending and what they can spend. If they've built the team with money, my point was weak. As a bit of idle speculation, I will point out that Cignetti has been an impressively winning coach at levels where money didn't matter so much. Or maybe I'm wrong about that, too.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
I think Indiana is proof that it's not all about the money. That's cynical simplism. Many elements come into play. It's hard to watch Indiana and not want to go there even if you do make a little less money.- Greenland - Tassa Eller Asu !!!!
Probably smell better, too. Part of my comment to this is in the prior post. Trying to kick America out by threatening (even by protest) to take over an American base plays right into Trump's hand. He'd describe it as another Portland only worse! We gotta send the Army!- Greenland - Tassa Eller Asu !!!!
For all practical purposes, we own Greenland as a strategic necessity. There are more American military already on the island than citizens. [I was ridiculously wrong on that statement. I thought I'd heard from some reliable source. @bolverk corrected me below. We only have the one base. Apologies.] I do believe Denmark has offered to allow further US military development as an appeasement. I googled to see if they resist American bases there: It's the below ground minerals and rare earths that Trump wants. Having those would be good for America, but, Trump's way, it becomes another cash cow for the oligarchs and corporations. We can have our way there through normal means. Contract with Greenland/Denmark for mineral rights which, gasp, means they would actually get something out of it. The Americans want it fucking all.- Trump’s America
He's already running the US. I'm sure he'll do a bang up job with Venezuela. Trump doesn't have the coherence for strategic thought. I think Miller is making regime-change more literal. I increasing don't think the threats to everybody else are haphazard. We're running a protection extortion. It'd be a real shame if somebody came to your country and what happened to that poor Maduro guy happened to you. You playin' ball? We want to be on the ground in Venezuela for their oil. I don't think that part of the Milroe Doctrine will work out. The other countries? You just need tribute. Lot's of it. Meanwhile, Trump at Mar al Lago sliding around on the shit in his diapers going after personal enemies. Happy happy happy. zzzzzzzz We ate the world. We killed the children. True. I don't see that happening any more than you do: I keep imagining if there were only three networks. This scene would be played before a large majority of Americans and then discussed at the watercoolers that still existed. They'd all be in on the outrage. Those days are gone. Hardly anybody sees it. The rest have a hundred other channels to choose from. They're not dumber; it's just the connection to the world has changed from what it was. President Johnson or Nixon calling Walter Cronkite, John Chancellor, Harry Reasoner (network anchors of the day), or the NYT "fake news" would be absurd. They might be wrong but never fake. There's no going back, I realize. It's just such a tragic change in the republic's discourse that no person likely foresaw. It really does look like it's over for this place. These stories sadden me more than provoke outrage. I'm part of a routed army.- UK (And Europe) TV SERIES THREAD: Britbox, Acorn TV, PBS Masterpiece

Okay, they've done the oil thing. It's the most obvious. Who will parody the notion of us running Venezuela with no plan whatsoever for doing so?- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
