  2. People are not the enemy. People are the mission.
  3. Theo is hilarious to me. I have never seen a clip where he was MAGA, but comparing to him to Dane Cook feels wrong.
  4. I am a Christian who tries very hard not to do politics. I think there is an appropriate way to handle that, but I also think it's one of those things that reasonable minds can disagree about. Being apolitical to the best of your ability or being politically active based on your faith is a choice (often via intrepreation) that isn't tied to salvation or doctrine, just a distinctive on interpretations of different theological and/or biblical issues that don't define what it means to essentially be a Christian.
  5. I'm old. But can someone young and smart and good looking becalse explain how the song "Mo Bamba" became a cultural phenomenon? I thought about posting this on the basketball board but the irony is that this song is going to outlive and be more remembered than anything the actual player and namesake will ever do in his career. Every football game and event I've gone to in the last few years plays this song and the crowd gets HYPED. No matter what state or college. Even the aggies, who ostensibly will boycot and despise anything to do with has adopted it. Is there a 30 for 30 someone can direct me to on this? It's truly breaking my brain when you search youtube for Mo Bamba it's compilations of insane crowds like Penn State and Aggy going nuts to the song.
  6. Don't have a dog in the fight as someone who doesn't live in Austin, but it's hard not to be sympathetic for you who do. Seriously Austin (Austin ISD) is straight up being robbed blind.
  7. I know it's deeply unpopular and a bad word these days, but ASU is our premiere climate science, sustainability, ESG-science and accounting type program in the U.S. If we ever see a world where a new administration takes over and we care about the planet and the intersectionality of the planet and business, ASU will be the place pumping out those leaders. In fact, saw this from the UN conference last week: https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-environment/2025/09/22/asu-launches-rob-walton-school-conservation-futures-115m-donation/86087367007/
  8. Is it even a conversation or debate at this point how important CC is to the league? Like the podcaster said, most people who would know about the teams in the WNBA playoffs had no idea the Fever were even in the playoffs once CC went down. I guess CC should get 53-55% of the gross revenue of the WNBA by these quantitative metrics. Joking, but seriously, if there was EVER a situation for a player to get equity into a league or a team, this is the one.
  9. haha makes sense, hence the "punisher" look lol lame.
  10. uhhhhhhhhhh what is this? what are challenge coins? maybe im just highly ignorant and google will be my friend.
  11. No lies detected.
  12. Plus the steak was like...Ruths Chris good, I guess? Definitely not high end steakhouse good.
  13. This doesn't surprise me. I think that the Texas Rangers were one of the very few teams that did NOT do a Gay Pride night or celebration game.
  14. This is actually shocking to me. I've never personally been but everything I have ever read or watched (reels, shorts, etc.) of Savannah Bananas had me believe it was the kind of goofy, irreverent fun that a bunch of goofy liberals like me would enjoy. If the Disney Channel was commissioned to put on baseball games type gooberness. Really shocked to hear the Nascar demographic has taken it over. Maybe I'm projecting because I've read a bit and seen a lot of the owner, the marketing genius guy who is skinny and goofy and looks like a guy who would be in those Obamacare ads that people would make fun of for being too liberal.
  15. Walking distance from the Omni was a selling point tbh.
  16. Saw this yesterday and thought it was strange (the "masculinity" part):
  17. What you are saying is pigs get fat (e.g. every other President in modern times via consulting, speaking, books, etc.) but hogs get slaughtered .
  18. Looks like it peaked in 2022: Here are the reported attendance numbers for the State Fair of Texas in recent years: 2024: Nearly 2.4 million 2023: More than 2.3 million 2022: Over 2.5 million 2021: Over 2.2 million 2017: 2.2 million
  19. It's giving if Chanel and Gucci got together and then did a retro telecom logo from the 90's
  20. Out of curiousity and trying to put myself in the average layman who doesnt follow and doesn't understand the government, I prompted ChatGPT with what I would imagine the unwashed masses would ask ChatGPT to try and make heads or tails: Here was the response: Blame for a government shutdown usually depends on which side the public thinks is being unreasonable. In this case (October 2025), here’s the breakdown: Republicans (majority in both House and Senate): They advanced a short-term funding bill, but it did not include the full health-care subsidies Democrats wanted. They argue Democrats are “holding the government hostage” to push for Obamacare-related spending. Democrats: They refused to support the GOP bill, saying it did not sufficiently protect health-care funding (particularly Affordable Care Act subsidies). They argue Republicans could have avoided a shutdown by including these provisions. Reality: A shutdown happens only when both sides fail to compromise before the deadline. Republicans technically passed a bill, but without bipartisan buy-in, it was doomed in the Senate. Democrats blocked it, insisting on their demands. So, in plain terms: Republicans are blamed for putting forward a partisan bill. Democrats are blamed for refusing to accept it without changes. The actual cause is the standoff over health-care funding tied to the budget. Do you want me to show you how media on the left vs. media on the right are framing who’s at fault? That way you can see how the blame narrative is being split.
  21. 20 tickets ($20) for two strawberry lemonades is crazy work. Especially when you can see the Sam's sized cannister of Country Time and Domino granular sugar bag in plain sight.
