  1. I’m Aug 20 so I guess upper deck for me. Also, I guess TexasOne members noticed your getting 2 points per $100 donation now instead of 5. I’m not even clear on what the collective actually will do going forward. I’m thinking of just directing my money back to the university.
  2. West Kerr just gave me the name of an 80-year-old lady who is trying to clean her house out herself. I would like to get a group of guys that can go tomorrow,Sunday, to help. Please message me if you can. I will be in touch with the guys who have already contacted me. There will be many more to help next weekend in other parts of the affected area.
  3. so that they can bomb hospitals and set up a firing squad for starving people looking for food https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8j18w3ndg9o Children killed in 'appalling' Sudan hospital attack - WHO head "Another appalling attack" on a hospital in Sudan has seen more than 40 people killed, many of them children and medics, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has said. "We cannot say this louder," wrote Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on X on Tuesday, "attacks on health must stop everywhere!" Al-Mujlad Hospital was struck on Saturday, and is located in West Kordofan state, close to one of the frontlines where Sudan's warring parties are fighting in the conflict that is now in its third year. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) blames its opponents the Sudanese army for attacking the hospital, as do two prominent civil society groups, but the army itself has yet to comment on the allegation. Since Sudan's civil war began in April 2023, the scale of suffering is so vast that the UN has labelled it the world's worst humanitarian crisis. In addition to allegations of genocide in Darfur, the murder of many thousands of civilians across the country, plus the displacement of millions more, both sides in this conflict have been accused of carrying out war crimes on medical facilities and staff, according to evidence seen by BBC News Arabic. Al-Mujlad Hospital, in the town of Muglad, was "the only functioning healthcare facility in the area", according to the Sudan Doctors Network. Of the more than 40 people killed, six of them were children and five were health workers, the WHO's office in Sudan said on Sunday. Dozens of other people were injured too, it added. Crucially, the hospital ran a dialysis unit and focused on the care of civilians as opposed to soldiers, according to the Emergency Lawyers group, which documents abuses by both the RSF and the army. Both the Sudan Doctors Network and the Emergency Lawyers group say the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) were to blame for the attack on Saturday. But the doctors' body says the reason for the attack was that the army was trying to kill RSF fighters "stationed inside" al-Mujlad Hospital. The RSF has not commented on that claim, nor has the army. On Monday, the head of the UN children's agency, Unicef, warned of a "worsening crisis" for children caused by Sudan's civil war and said the aid response lacked two.... https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/10/1156266 Sudan’s ‘living nightmare’ continues as 11 million flee war, mass killings © WFP/Abubakar Garelnabei A mother carries her baby in Port Sudan, on the Sudanese coast. 29 October 2024 Peace and Security Escalating violence and new atrocities in Sudan have pushed the humanitarian crisis to unprecedented levels, with displacement now exceeding 11 million people amid reports of mass killings and systematic-sexual violence across multiple regions, UN officials said on Tuesday. “The situation in Sudan is catastrophic. There is simply no other way to put it. Hunger disease and sexual violence are rampant. For the people of Sudan, this is a living nightmare,” warned Amy Pope, Director General of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The conflict, which erupted in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and their former partners turned rivals for power, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has now displaced 11 million inside the country. After more than 18 months of war, 3.1 million are sheltering beyond its borders, IOM said on Tuesday. Violence surges UN human rights chief Volker Türk also voiced “extreme concern” on Tuesday over a dramatic escalation of hostilities in Sudan’s Al-Jazirah State. According to his rights office (OHCHR) the violence intensified following the 20 October defection of RSF commander Abu Aqla Keikel to the forces of the ruling military Government. In apparent retaliation, the RSF launched a series of attacks targeting members of his ethnic group, killing at least 124 people on Friday in Al-Seriha village, with uncorroborated video reportedly showing dozens of bodies lined up for burial. The violence follows earlier brutal attacks by RSF ground forces on the nearby towns of Tamboul and Rufaa, with hundreds reportedly killed amid widespread looting and destruction. Reports indicate civilians were detained, communication devices confiscated, and crops burned, in what was once considered the country’s “breadbasket”, OHCHR revealed. As a result of the violence, thousands of families have reportedly been displaced from Al-Jazirah state. “All wars are brutal, but the toll of this one is particularly horrifying,” said Ms. Pope. “Indiscriminate attacks are killing civilians, including young children, some of the areas of most severe need remain cut off entirely, with no access to humanitarian aid” she added. Sexual violence reaches ‘staggering’ levels Amid the escalating violence, a new report by the UN Independent Fact-Finding Mission reveals widespread sexual violence by RSF forces, particularly in Greater Khartoum, Darfur and Geziera States. The acts amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, according to the investigation. The investigators mandated by the Human Rights Council report at least 25 verified cases of sexual violence, including attacks against medical personnel and an 11-year-old girl who died as a result. “The sheer scale of sexual violence we have documented in Sudan is staggering,” said Mohamed Chande Othman, Chair of the Fact-Finding Mission. “The situation faced by vulnerable civilians, in particular women and girls of all ages, is deeply alarming and needs urgent address.” Response falls short Despite the severity of the crisis, the international community’s response remains severely underfunded, with the UN’s humanitarian appeal only 52 percent funded. IOM’s portion is just 20 percent funded, despite having assisted nearly three million people since the war began. “Sudan is easily the most neglected crisis in the world today. The collective failure to act means the devastation risks spilling over into neighboring countries,” warned Ms. Pope, who urges immediate international action to prevent further regional destabilization. LOLs. Don't be a clown. I'm not the one who said, "I didn't realize our Congresscritters from both sides of the aisle were doing photo ops with Sudanese leadership and sending billions of my fucking money to them so that they can bomb hospitals and set up a firing squad for starving people looking for food " Better?
  4. It will be, since Netanyahu only won the no-confidence vote because he promised they wouldn't be called up. The Orthodox were willing to join up with the other groups to boot him out of power. There's been a lot of noise about this over the past few days on a friend's (from Israel) group chat and how there's going to be a lot of students ignoring the call-up, forcing a showdown with the government. These people that are being targeted don't want to server because they disagree politically or are afraid of dying or whatever, it's religious with them. Really religious.
  5. Yeah, people commit crimes, immigrants lawful and unlawful, are people, therefore they commit crimes. There's no evidence that they commit crimes (other than unlawful entry) at any higher rate than native-born citizens. The idea that they do is 100% propaganda. This whole thing stems from 9/11. We got scared of Muslims. A lot of Muslims started filtering through Europe as refugees and for other reasons. That somewhat unrestrained immigration scared a lot of people. Hence the rise of anti-immigrant sentiment, abroad and here at home. We don't have all that many Muslims immigrating here, and they're fairly controlled. But we have plenty of other brown immigrants, and some cynical fuckers realized that this was the new enemy, the new Soviet Union. So here we are. Anti-immigrant sentiment led to nationalism led to populism led to Trump.
  6. This is what we’ve done. Wife and her brother grew their business and sold it a few months ago. We are both working until the kid is out of high school at the minimum.
  7. The fatal flaw with this discourse is that it's still rooted in some sort of institutional integrity and normalcy. Trump's authoritarian power grows by the day. He owns the courts. He owns every single person in his administration. He owns Congress. He owns the media. He owns half the voters. Everything he's doing now with ICE and immigrants is just the starting point. American dissidents are next. If we don't take these realistic threats seriously, it's over.
  8. Absolutely. But at the time of his decision to hold back the rocks, no one knew that was going to be the outcome
  9. Unless something drastically changes, this is going to set the record for fastest final.
  10. In past episodes he’s gone on at length about how much they like the two they took last year. Presumably taking one this year who isn’t clearly going to compete with them for playing time is a bit of a luxury.
  11. We are living in the Second Gilded Age.
  12. Yeah... fucking Greg Davis... The way I would channel my frustration was to bellow out, "We Love You Greg Davis!" as the punt team would roll onto the field. Was something to giggle at against the damn frustration. And better than a string of F bombs... or more accurately... more F bombs...
  13. Can you quote statistics on total number of repeat violent offenses committed by illegal residents? It’s a racist trope to scare the more moderate rubes just like migrant caravans headed for the southern border that strangely come in 2 to 4 year cycles. And don’t talk about conservative extremists: this is the mainstream republican viewpoint. Hell it is active federal government policy signed off as ok by the highest court in the land. We are with judicial consent renditioning people to countries they are not from who are known for committing torture and war crimes. Everyone should be screaming about this
  14. I may get negged to oblivion for this, but here goes. When some undocumented person commits a crime, is released, then commits another, bigger crime and rapes/kills someone's wife/daughter, the vocal conservatives will scream for stricter immigration laws. When a situation like you posted happens, the vocal liberals will scream oppression. I think the vast majority of people (not just posters) feel that both instances are tragic, and hate that they both happened. The ideal balance between lawlessness and oppression doesn't exist. There will be instances like these for both extremes to scream about. Some people don't scream about either, despite the fact we aren't happy about either, because we don't want to be as insufferable as all the other screamers.
  15. Ok but after Harvey here in Port Aransas really the only way to contact FEMA was to go get in line for an hour or two at the Community Center. Calling them for an update? Hahaha. This is nothing new.
  16. Article on Derrek Cooper, from the Miami 247 guy. Cooper's comments on Texas make it sound like he may pick Miami, but the Texas recruitment will continue. First, Copper's Texas comments, and then some posts from the thread. The mention of Texas sets people off ... lulz. (The full note is spoilered, at the end.) On Texas: "Texas has been good. They've been reaching out a lot too. They're a big SEC school. It would be great to play for them. I'm still going to take the [official visit] later in the season."

  17. We all know this team played above its weight for the last 6 weeks. A reversion to the mean was inevitable.
  18. When is HEB running for office? They got my vote. “H-E-B has an emergency operations team that is working 365 days a year, not just when a disaster strikes,” Helfman said. “So, when a disaster strikes, we are ready to go with all the resources the community needs, and they change from disaster to disaster. So, we have eyes and ears on the ground, and we’re ready to go.” https://www.kxan.com/independence-day-floods/why-texans-are-calling-h-e-b-the-fema-of-texas-after-devastating-floods/
  19. We are limping into the break. We might have peaked over July 4h weekend. I have already emotionally accepted 0-6 on this homestand.
  20. It appears that the CSC has taken it upon itself to define collectives as not providing a "real," profit-driven product or service; therefore, the collectives paying athletes to appear/post/etc. on behalf of the collective -- rather than on behalf of a business providing any other products/services to the public -- is not a valid business purpose. That's a point made over and over (and over and over) in that Reddit discussion and people still keep asking the question and giving that answer. While there's a certain logic behind that CSC definition, it ignores the fact that collectives ultimately do promote an underlying product/service (entertainment -- i.e., collegiate sporting events that depend on public interest and attendance). Streamers, rappers, etc., usually hawk products and services for outside entities. But the question becomes whether the middlemen (agencies, representatives -- the equivalent of NIL collectives) who employ endorsers to hawk stuff are, in general, providers of product/service themselves. Clearly, as middlemen in the marketing business, they are. It's a fine distinction that may not hold up, and the House attorneys now going after the CSC are doing what legal middlemen everywhere do: making money out of the business of law by arguing about definitions of stuff. And the money keeps flowing upward to the attorneys, the marketers, the elite athletes, elite programs (including the athletic directors and all those employed under them), yada yada yada. Maybe the CSC is just trying to prop up the disappearing belief that college sports are not a business, but an important educational activity driven by other purposes and values.
  21. I miss the 🐐 so damn much. I miss being the smartest organization in baseball with him and AJ leading the way. My have we fallen with bumblefuck duo we have now.
  22. Last night I found myself thinking a great deal about this, and how the other-directed harm visited upon minorities and out-groups in Trump’s America is the mirror image of the self-harm visited upon rural Texans. As a free market capitalist in both idea and instinct I don’t often find occasion to quote Trotsky, a brilliant thinker whose very forgivable primary intellectual sin was to be wrong about whether We The People were capable of utopia. Nevertheless, his unflinching criticism of both fascism and Stalinism were penetrating and prescient, and they are worth reconsidering at this moment. Last night I watched the county court meeting where citizens of Kerr County demanded that FEMA money not go to flood preparations. It reminded me of polemic, “What is National Socialism?,” written while in exile from Stalin’s Russia in 1933, a few months after Hitler became Chancellor while many in the United States, France and England (including Churchill, to his eternal shame) were still ignoring the truth before their eyes. The whole thing is worth a read, but I’ve been thinking about these three passages:
  23. Imma gonna make everyone take some IT Castor Oil. Take your medicine and like it. Will we be able to see that? Maybe a screenshot? How long do I have to get some "crazy" pills, PTSD counselor lined up and stomach anti acids?
  24. Haha. I bet my grandparents knew your aunt. They lived off of Stanford St in a small cracker box home. The Jesus painting - would have scared the piss out of little West Kerr Horn! With names like your dad's extended family, we may be related - some of the names in our family - Notie, Helon, Nona, Elbert. Poor West Texas folks that probably saw a name on a product somewhere and said, "This sounds like a good name".
