Epstein and Maxwell
A couple years ago, when I saw Chomsky's name in one of these news stories for the first time, I remarked casually to my wife, "Seems weird. I thought his whole schtick was being anti-capitalism, and here he is flying around with billionaire financier guys... I don't get why he would do that." And I look over, and she's looking at me in disbelief for how stupid her husband is, and she answers: "Young pussy."

Up until the photo, when y'all said "Firefly," I thought you meant Parker Fly.

Best rock drummers right now
I've heard other drummers say that, and it puzzles me. For all the chart-smashing Journey songs, there seem to be no great grooves or memorable fills. Seems like he had a hundred opportunities to do something innovative. But then, I'm not a drummer.

I think CS 336 is the same size as a 339. A decade ago, I came across one on Reverb ("came across" = extensive hours searching for gear). It had P90's and was a really good price. I wish I'd pulled the trigger. I've said before: If I had to play only one guitar/amp combo, it would be semi-hollow with P90 through a Vox-flavored amp. Anyway, if you're looking for a smaller 335, add CS 336 to your search.

Guitar Effect Pedalphile Thread
I can tell you that all the string players I know bring an ipad and a foot switch to their studio gigs. Don't know which brand/model, but obviously they can't make an audible "click" during a session. Today, music stands are for ipads. The only time I've seen sheet music in the last few years is if the producer/writer brings it and hands it out. What you're looking for definitely exists.

1st Record, Cassette, CD, download
I says, "Pigpen, this here's the Rubber Duck. We just ain't a gonna pay no toll." So we crashed the gate, doin' 98, I says, "Let them truckers roll! 10-4."

Texas vs. Texas A&M - 6:30pm on ABC
100% yes. No team has ever subverted their own home-field advantage like we do. We win home games *despite* the non-stop effort of the jumbotron to distract and silence the home crowd. We do sooooooooo much dumb shit to take 200,000 eyes off the field, and tranform the audience into passive consumers watching fucking commercials during a game. It's awful. I cannot count how many times we're in a 1-score game in the 4th quarter, and trying to get a critical 3rd-down stop on defense... so we BLAST a lip-sync contest or a Foot Locker "follow the hidden ball" dumb shit, or we try to make "who wants a t-shirt" happen. It's just monumentally stupid. Idiocracy stupid. All these silly songs intended to be funny, like playing "Don't Do Me Like That" after a penalty against us... it's so cringey. It would be cringey if a junior college did it in 2002... but for UT to do it in 2025.... Ugh. Fortunately the place was so incredibly rocking on Friday, even the jumbotron was unable to spoil the party (like it often does). Call me, CDC. We can fix it.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Now you're completely moving the goalposts. This is 100% different argument than your last statement, which was objectively wrong.

That's like saying the deep fly balls your team caught on the warning track hurt you just as bad as the homers you gave up. They didn't. They just didn't.

2025 Random Games thread
Has a team ever been this awful, yet still ranked in the top-8 post-Thanksgiving? I've never seen anything like it. All they've gotta do is beat the team that had to survive an onsides kick vs the mighty Hilltoppers last week, and I'm not sure they can do it. And just as I'm typing that, Mateer damn near throws another one...

tOSU @ Michigan - Fox
To score, you have to 1 Have the ball 2 In the end zone There's some exception for goal-line-extended +/- touching the pylon, but those rules are irrelevant here. He was juggling the ball. By the time he regained control, he was already out of bounds. That's a fumble, not a TD. And I'm rooting for them, but it's a terrible call.

Wow. Thats the wrong call.

Never rooted for Ohio State in my life. Feels gross. Plus I have this weird desire to burn furniture.

2025 Egg Bowl - Ole Miss vs. MSU
I'm generally a "take the points" guy, but I'm not sure about that one. 4th and 4, and it's looking like you're gonna need 30-35 points to win this thing...
