You are 1000% correct. But this poor woman dying isn't going to change a god damn thing.

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
Again, I'm not victim blaming or defending this in any way but it was her wife. But for fuck's sake it's a bad idea to antagonize these goons in any way, and especially when they are armed. And speaking from personal experience, your wife can get you in trouble with the police when she is talking shit. I've probably told this story before... one time my wife and I were driving home from dinner where we split a bottle of wine and got into an argument on the way back. We pulled off into the parking lot of the baseball field down the street from my house to hash it out. She got pissed, bolted out of the car as dramatically as humanly possible, and stormed off, "Fuck you. I'm walking home." Which was big talk -- it was two blocks away. At the exact same time one of Alamo Heights finest drove by. He started asking her what was wrong, what's your name, etc. My wife, being the dumbass that she is and in half-drunk full bitch mode, decided this would be a good time to not give him her name and continue on walking. I hear her say at some point, "Do you know how much we pay in taxes." I'm thinking bitch, you have no idea what we pay in taxes. In the meantime, I slowly follow down the street. Well, he finally had enough of her shit and cuffed and stuffed her in the back of his vehicle. It was summer and the A/C sure as shit wasn't on in his car. Eventually he walks across the street to me where I give him my license, tell him her name, explain that she we had an argument and that she was just blowing off steam walking home. The entire time I'm just praying he doesn't give me a breathalyzer -- I was far from drunk but I'd had a couple of glasses of wine. Eventually, he let her go, didn't give me a breathalyzer and we all lived in insanity ever after. Moral of the story: if the got damn police in Alamo fucking Heights will fuck with two white people who live literally on the same street on which he is fucking with you, for God's sake don't antagonize an ICE officer.

In the video I saw, her wife was taunting them, "That's OK, we don't change our plates every morning," she tells the agent. "Just so you know, it will be the same plate when you come talk to us later. That's fine. U.S. citizen, former fucking veteran, disabled veteran. You want to come at us? You want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch big boy," Not victim blaming at all. ICE is a disgrace. But you should never bring a cell phone camera to a gun fight.

There is zero justification for this shooting. None. Zip. Zilch. Also, you have to be stupid as hell to antagonize an ICE officer in particular, or anyone in general, who is packing.

About fucking time. He can work on his skillet hands there instead of in games that count. I'm sure he'll be back up in no time. Also, since Sochan is our new three point ace, he's going to be getting his minutes.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Pining For IOLs Who Can Fog A Mirror
The thing that is really fucking up this cycle compared to the past cycles is revenue sharing. That all went down after the spring portal closed last year. If it were in place then, I'm sure we would have seen the same fuckery. Now all of the sudden, all these schools with poor collectives and/or that have been lacking in real NIL opportunities are flush with cash. It just raised the price of poker for everyone. Throw in the completely unregulated nature of the agents and this is what you get. Shitshow. Total shitshow. And it's worse for schools like Texas, Ohio State, Georgia, etc. that were paying premiums for guys out of high school on a longer development curve. Cignetti doesn't really have that issue at Indiana.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Pining For IOLs Who Can Fog A Mirror
In general, we (aka I) hire too quickly and fire too slowly. I would have a bit more faith in this staff if there was a still a spring portal. Seems like they did most of their work to fill up the biggest weakness last year (DT) in the spring. If they don't get something done in the next week on the OL, what are we looking at? Grad transfers? Woof. I just want to say one more thing about Flood, who has been bashed enough around here. His lines at Bama were great. He didn't recruit those guys. He inherited them. The ones he did recruit to Bama? It looks a lot like Holmon Wiggins record there at WR (Hi Brocks!). He took the garbage we had here when he arrived and made them serviceable. He didn't fuck up the guys we brought in from the pancake factory. I don't think the guy is a bad coach/technician, but holy fuck he has done zip to indicate he has any sort of acumen at evaluation. I don't trust him to evaluate what's left in the portal. I certainly don't trust his high school evals. We mocked A&M and Jimbo for recruiting cubes for years. Well this mother fucker is a bigger cubist than Pablo fucking Picasso.

It's honestly his best and most possibly valuable attribute. It's certainly his most endearing. Also, we are now living is some bizarro world where fucking Sochan with his fucked up sidewinder spin jumper goes 2-2 from three while the rest of the team combines to shoot 2/23. This is beyond ridiculous: Champ 0-6. Fox 0-6. Castle 0-2. Barnes 0-1. Wemby 0-3, Haper 0-2. If these bitches are going to shoot that terribly, you might as well let Sochan go in there and stir some shit up. Keldon nearly single handedly won that game last night. 27 points on 11-13 fg, 2-3 from 3. He's been an absolute monster this season.

3/20 from three tonight and still up double digits. Lakers not much better at 7/31.

It’s true. I’m a Trae hater. A traeter if you will. He’s a loser.

Carter Bryant has the worst hands of any spur since Cadillac Anderson. I’m not sure his fingers actually function properly.

They really need to trade him for Trae Young. It would complete the cycle: Mavs trade Trae for Luka on draft night. Mavs trade Luka for AD. Mavs trade AD for Young.

San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
The minutes restriction.... I get. I don't know if there is enough empirical evidence to support it, but I still get it. It's become SOP. But what is definitely 100% coaching malpractice is when Landale missed both free throws, not calling time out to get Sochan off the floor for that final possession. I was screaming at my TV. What the fuck? I get that Sochan was having an impact on the game defensively, but you can't have that guy on the floor on offense on that possession. You just can't. I'm on board with the idea of not calling a timeout to prevent the defense from setting up, but you have to take him out then. You just have to. I'd rliterally ather have any other player on the team taking an open jumper than him. I'd rather give Bismack fucking Biyombo an open 20 footer. Beyond that... we are 36 games into the season, which is a large enough sample size that I can revisit my pre-season questions from the very first post on this thread with answers in orange:

It’s every night. If they are going to shoot this poorly, they really should just play Sochan. I mean what’s the difference?

Spurs not named Julian Champagnie are a combined 6/28 from three.

I think Castle has been blocked about five times so far.
