  1. Everyone dunked on Mike Pence for his “no dinners with women without Mother” but on the other hand people understate how aggressively some young women go after silver foxes with a bit of power.
  2. Man, truly sucks when your HC is borking the best season ever by basically checking out at the key moment to flirt with major rivals’ coaching gig. As an Aggie I’m really glad I haven’t gone through that in the past two years.
  3. She wants to be Joan Didion, and is failing. And she’s not close to Hemingway.
  4. It is 2025. The king is gilding the throne room and his physician recommends cures and potions. The peasants are tied to the soil paying rents to the great lords (50 year mortgages). The head of the war council is in his cups. Plagues ravage the land. Medieval ass country.
  5. Y’all need to be following the Olivia Nuzzi shit. She’s cashed in on the RFK dalliance, with a book (“American Canto”) and fawning NYT and Vanity Fair profiles about her complicated and beautiful life. Then her ex dropped that she also banged SC governor Mark Sanford (who she wrote a profile on) and also was Keith Olbermann’s sugar baby for years. And she wrote this:
  6. Anyone but me beginning to think Lane is supremely talented but has been dialed in these past years simply so he can get back to a really big job and flame out in a spectacular way?
  7. And we should do everything to convince her and others with similar “values” that straying from Trump and being more civil will be rewarded.
  8. And after all those misdeason sepia tinted pieces about how Ole Miss and family saved Lane. Oh well, they knew what they were getting.
  9. Gotta disagree with this, even as a known skeptic of a 10-14 ranked team winning (will happen eventually but not likely). The math alone— giving 12 versus 2 or 4 teams a chance at a post-season NC opens the door for a non-blue blood. And it’s easier to get hot and win three than to emerge from a 12 game season with 0-1 losses, so that’s additional cushion for a team to get losses out of the way early. Plus, in the two and four team format name played a bigger role in post season invites. The top half of this year’s bracket will include three non-blue-bloods most likely. (A&M, IU, Tech). Eventually a team like that will break through.
  10. Reading at article about a very flawed Harris and noticing that the diagnosis was that America wanted someone further left than her on trans issues, immigration, and (of course) Israel-Gaza. Looked up the author to see how she’s penned jeremiads about how not liking pitbulls (“nanny dogs”) is Racist and a truly unhinged “manifesto” (note, all manifestos are unhinged) written in the form of a letter to extraterrestrials. And I gotta say I question the diagnosis and who needs to be put in the penalty box during message development for voters.
  11. I cam easily believe either that the dude drunk ordered and passed out pants down, or that he hoped she’d peak in. But she didn’t have to peek in, could have just left the food, and could have just gone quietly to cops and managers. Running to TikTok always induces doubt.
  12. Me to my family: “You need to download Signal so I can send you these pumpkin patch photos securely. Send me ANYTHING personal or financial to the Proton account and use a VPN.” Jeffepstein@gmail.com to Davos_All: “Hey who wants to fuck som kids this wknd. Will be cool and real illegal”— Sent from my iPad
  13. Oregon-Iowa was a good game too with implications. The Big Ten is hierarchical, not meaningless. tOSU, Indiana above Oregon above USC, Michigan, Iowa. And the games have ended up basically in order of hierarchy. No real chaos or parity at the top. And: tOSU has ducked most of the depth of the conference. This is what to expect from superconferences. They were and are a bad idea.
  14. Chicken and sausage gumbo. Picked a grocery rotisserie bird clean for the meat and used the carcass for the stock, oven roux.
  15. All these boats are full of drugs and this is unrelated to anything in the Epstein files long ago. This has been more or less spelled out in what strategy and policy documents there are: a desire to firmly re-establish the Monroe Doctrine in a maximalist way and demonstrate to China (and Russia) the futility of playing at Western Hemisphere influencer. There is more than a little Putin-brain in the logic. The reasons not to do it are legion: expensive; destabilizing; risks using costly assets we need in the Pacific; undermines our credibility as a stabilizing force; will provoke other countries to hedge and reach out to China. Important not to lose sight of the real reasons not to do this in favor of ones that seem more emotionally satisfying but are inaccurate.
  16. While there are many legal, ethical, and strategic reasons to be against attacking Venezuela one must confess that Maduro is really making it hard not to.
  17. Working up the legal justification. I still expect more pressure to try and force Maduro into exile.
  18. Shot: Chaser: First world nations are medieval peasant maxxing.
  19. Texas is functionally being treated as a two loss team. Ahead of several two loss teams and behind some. Right behind two-loss USC. About a 1/5 chance of making the CFP— better than any 3 loss team. In the AP poll the two loss teams ahead don’t have more than one non-competitive loss. They have good wins. Texas’ win vs OU and Vandy are good but wins over UGA, USC, Pitt, Bama, Iowa, Arizona State, and ND are good wins. Some really good wins. And there’s also not clearly handling bad teams a couple times. Texas isn’t being punished for the tOSU game; the big issues are the way the UGA and UF losses went and the inconsistency in other wins.
  20. I don’t love it but this is what CFB is. Haven’t seen language on guarantees and buyout.
