  1. Especially since they ran off all of the immigrant construction workers. Good luck getting anything rebuilt. Can't wait for them to blame the Democrats but they'll find a way.
  2. That's conspiracy theorists in a nutshell. It makes them feel smarter by knowing the "real truth." That's where the right is now in America. They're basically conspiracy chat bots. Just look at yesterday. Between Bron's kid and Obama's chef, there is no rabbit hole they won't go down. RFK and Elmo are personifications of this.
  3. My niece is now a junior at Arky so, oddly enough, we know a decent amount about this subject and all of the above is spot on. Arky (like Bama) has a bunch of out of state students that don't know anyone and no one knows them. Niece in question hits all the marks. Good grades, fun and outgoing personality, good story, and is hot. (Sorry, that still matters and no pics.) However, her mom is a single mom with no money. She wasn't able to get into the top tier houses because of money and connections but she got into one of the solid ones with good academics and a nice house. Since she's hot, she still gets invited to the good frat parties. She's dated two guys at this point and one's mom was a partner at a law firm and the current is from the Park Cities. So, yeah, some of this still matters if you want to be crass. Her assigned roommate in the dorms during rush was from some small town and shaped like a whiskey barrel and didn't get bid by anyone. She ended up with a bid on the last day by the worst house on campus after everyone turned them down. Kinda sad but I laughed. We enjoyed the Bama Rush show but it could have been better.
  4. Slavery was jobs program. Good to know. Then they were freed and allowed to join trade unions, right?
  5. His SC recruiting looks a lot like his OU recruiting. A few highly ranked offensive skill players and some spares on the defensive side. The skill player rankings bring the total class up so it looks good. The subplot here is that OU beat him head to head for even a skill guy but yes, the list of RB busts out of Texas is long and legendary. OU is now getting interest and commits from blue chip defensive guys now and Riley couldn't even get this guys to visit.
  6. So is this: https://genius.com/Bruce-springsteen-youngstown-lyrics Here in northeast Ohio Back in eighteen-o-three James and Dan Heaton Found the ore that was lining Yellow Creek They built a blast furnace Here along the shore And they made the cannonballs That helped the Union win the war Here in Youngstown Here in Youngstown My sweet Jenny I'm sinking down Here darling in Youngstown Well, my daddy worked the furnaces Kept them hotter than hell I come home from 'Nam, worked my way to scarfer A job that would suit the devil as well Taconite coke and limestone Fed my children and made my pay The smokestacks reaching like the arms of God Into a beautiful sky of soot and clay Here in Youngstown Here in Youngstown My sweet Jenny I'm sinking down Here darling in Youngstown From the Monongahela valley To the Mesabi iron range To the coal mines of Appalachia The story's always the same Seven hundred tons of metal a day Now sir, you tell me the world's changed Once I made you rich enough Rich enough to forget my name Here in Youngstown Here in Youngstown My sweet Jenny I'm sinking down Here darling in Youngstown When I die I don't want no part of heaven I would not do heaven's work well I pray the devil comes and takes me To stand in the fiery furnaces of hell
  7. Barbenheimer off to a good start. Anecdotal evidence, I know, but driving home last night, I drove past a theater and there were a ton of Gen Z types all wearing pink. Same theater showing sold out all weekend. Maybe it'll do well. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/21/barbenheimer-box-office-thursday-ticket-sales.html
  8. We just finished it and were talking about how well all of them aged. They're all basically 60 and all of them look great, especially Ice.
  9. I'll add that I would also take Phoenix over Texas. Sure, it's hot AF for three months and you can't go outside but the winters are legit whereas Texas winters can still suck periodically.
  10. Correct. It's part of the country music fantasy world of idyllic small towns while the crime is in the "city." **cough** dog whistle **cough** Never mind that in reality there is more crime in smaller towns and rural areas than the big cities. Modern country music (read "bro country") is for people from a small town who moved to the exurbs who want to move back to a small town but forgot why they left in the first place.
  11. Winters in the NE are overrated. It's basically for two months with a little spillover in December and March. Meanwhile, the summers are mostly great and fall is the tits. Sure, it gets hot at times in the summer but it's brief, maybe a few weeks. It's not a summer death march.
  12. Same. It wasn't the reason but it was a reason.
  13. There is a lot of weed there so there's that.
  14. I'm going with he prolly didn't know the courthouse was used for lynchings because he seems like the type that got a C in some basic HS history class and thinks the world started the day he was born. Prolly thinks the earth is 5,000 years old, Jesus rode on dinosaurs, and America was a fine place until the civil rights crowd stirred up "the blacks."
  15. When I first hear it, I was offended at his singing and how bad the song was. Evidently, the video was shot on the steps of a courthouse where they used to lynch people. Oops.
