  1. Counting on Google search and Twitter to be the guardrails for democracy strikes me as laughably naive. This is a multi pronged evil effort, after all. Dumbing of the populace must be ahead of schedule based on anecdotal reports. It’s enhanced by making valid info (truth) tougher to obtain and handicapping the development of critical thinking when ambiguity is encountered (see school board & college curriculum efforts). Combine that with politicization of all aspects of the public sphere, a purposeful demonization of trusted news sources, a dash of confirmation bias, and you have generations starting not to trust what they read or personally observe. Sure the truth is still out there on the inter webs somewhere. People know how to find it. The issue, I suspect, is that they won’t want to find it, and Republicans are doing all they can to facilitate that ignorance. Or just fucking re-read 1984.
  2. The 2nd guy has some Figuerelli in him.
  3. If the ‘passage of time changing what offends people and altering what’s uttered in the public sphere’ is still vexing you, imagine SNL running this skit today. Personally, I’m offended by the lack of quality average white guy slurs. Cracker, ofay, peckerwood none of it lands.
  4. It’s hard not to view potential 5 star signees with very tempered excitement given our experience this year. I’m starting to enjoy the relative finality of a transfer signee’s announcement as much or more.
  5. It looks like the car Homer designed that bankrupted his brother’s car company. All it needs is rally stripes.
  6. Sad to hear indeed. I almost hit the Rage button but it occurred to me that Dickie V’s probably the least ragey guy there is. No doubt he is grateful for the time he’s had and would want others to do the same. It’s all about the love- of basketball, other humans, and life itself. What a legacy
  7. If you must express yourself, give them the British two fingered salute. Angry mouth breathers are confused by the apparent peace sign and you enjoy the same satisfaction as the middle finger affords.
  8. We had a swamp cooler in our first house in 1993 on S 1st right across from TX School for the Deaf. It was marginally effective in cooling us down but very persuasive in making my visiting in laws book a cool hotel rather than crashing with us. A net win.
  9. If they’re such fierce badasses, why are they afraid to show their faces? Buncha fascist bitches.
  10. Nah, Huggins is the picture of health. I suspect this whole misunderstanding is payback from the Gay Catholic cabal.
  11. Huggins’ career is over and his reputation is in the gutter. An ugly money grab isn’t going to change that, but it will buy a lot of Burger King in Columbus. What a mess. I’m even more appreciative now of how UT handled the Beard fiasco.
  12. Does Penn State have no available scholarships?
  13. His son seems to have waffled on that stance.
  14. Good luck finding someone not fucked in the head, whatever the fuck that is.
  15. You naive fool. Me, I’m counting on the Great Pumpkin to come through. (Disambiguation: not Trump)
  16. Is Ogden out? A brief googling didn’t produce evidence otherwise and I’m not wading through the slap fights in this thread to find out.
  17. Driving that drunk is serious business. I wouldn’t want to reach 0.21 sitting in my living room much less behind the wheel of a killing machine.
  18. Ponce de Leon never found the fountain of youth, but the spring of stupid overfloweth.
  19. Good luck with that. Evolution skipped WV.
  20. I visited Cincinnati for a conference once. There at the Marriott bar, fresh off a DUI arrest, was Huggins. This news dies not surprise.
  21. It also ignores the fact that OJ did actually go to jail... eventually. Separate incident?
  22. I so love that this topic is courtesy of The Intellectualist. Some deep thinkin going on.
  23. Barr’s statements are an attempt to ingratiate himself to sane people. Trumpkins already hate him because…well, Trump hates him and and that’s enough. In other words, at no personal cost but with perceived upside. That his statements are mostly true is beside the point with vermin like Bill Barr. It’s a dog and pony show trotted out for consumption. His words mean nothing.
