It’s January 7, 2010, 11:30 left in the 1st quarter. Texas is driving and in a moment of delirious joy, I awkwardly jump up in my living room, fall, and smack my head on the end-table. I then fall into a 12-year coma. Upon awakening, I immediately check on my beloved Longhorn message board, Shaggybevo. I’m met with a single lunatic posting to himself and a startling amount of scat porn. Once I finish and clean up, I finally find my new Surly home to learn about the wonderful sports decade that I missed. We’re on our third coach since that moment? Colt went down? We keep losing to Kansas? In disgust, I turn away from the football board to see what’s going on in the world. Surely we’ve emerged from the economic catastrophe and are enjoying a golden era. I see several threads about a strange, deadly disease, a thread about war with Russia and a new Hitler, and two threads about the coming nuclear holocaust. I call my parents, only to find out that they’ve been brainwashed by some website that used to be for college students to creep on each other’s drunken pictures. The moon is a spaceship? Bill Gates is trying to murder us all to save us from the nuclear holocaust? Surely this is some fever dream and I’m still in that coma.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй

I’ve been thinking about an end of the world music thread. It’d be a lot of metal and a lot of 80s music, but also stuff like the Götterdämmerung Immolation Scene, and Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time. If I get some down time before we all start melting and glowing, I might go start it.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй

I wish I didn’t have to learn it like this, but Ukrainians sure have a way with words and a natural gift for rapidly generating folk lore.- Do you think the US military should protect Ukraine?
Yes to weapons, supplies, money, intelligence, and advice for Ukraine. Yes to any and all sanctions for Russia. No to any physical involvement.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй

Still, a middle-aged white guy using a slur as a joke about a black woman seems to cross a line, even if you think that the black woman gives cover to terrible, racist behavior. For example, Blazing Saddles was slur-ridden, but it was very clearly in mockery of the racists. The slurs weren’t the jokes, but rather the racists using slurs were the butt of the jokes. I don’t see that movie as particularly racist despite its liberal use of racist language and tropes. Joking by calling someone a racial slur is a bit different. You could make the case that it’s also in mockery of the racist position (quoting the hypothetical racist), but using racist language to argue a black woman is an anti-Black racist seems a bit rich. If “enlightened” views lead to such behavior, maybe they aren’t so enlightened.- Fake English Company convinced dozens to work remotely for them for as long as 5 months

- Fuck Trudeau.
Tweet 1: something something order of magnitude. Tweet 2: claim about 9/11 which is unsubstantiated but it doesn’t really matter, due to Tweet 3. Tweet 3: no numbers, but they won’t be real anyway. Tweet 4: slippery language about “all” accounts (inflating numbers of accounts due to the crowdsourcing era?) and now it’s just “frozen more” than 9/11. What happened to the “order of magnitude.”- Fuck Trudeau.

Spend one month only using AP, Reuters, BBC, and the PBS News Hour for your news. Then go back to whatever sources you used before and see how absurd they look. CNN is a few rungs below the Craig Kilborn-era Daily Show; Fox aspires to be at the top of NowThis’ bookmarks. The daily-whatevers, Oanns, etc. look like the Onion writers turned to meth. News should be boring because most of it is. If it isn’t boring or is constantly making you angry, it isn’t news.- Bad Bishop Bungles Baptisms
Plural vs. singular seems a bit looser in the Bible. Gen 1:26-27 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And of here’s Jesus on how to baptize: Matthew 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. If you’re baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit per the words of Jesus, and said three-in-one crew refer to themselves as a plural on page one of the entire book, “we” seems biblically appropriate even for the most pedantic.- Unruly assholes on airplanes and the "no fly" list
Trying to open the door of an airplane mid-flight to bring attention to a political cause seems like a textbook example of terrorism to me. It doesn’t really matter if your cause is removing the infidels from Mecca or removing a tiny cloth from your fat face. Being unruly and fighting beleaguered flight attendants because of your psychotic and unhinged political beliefs probably isn’t terrorism, but when your argument stands on whether or not violent, antisocial behavior is technically terrorism, you’re on pretty shaky ground.- Adrian Peterson admits he still hits his son with a belt
Maybe he wasn’t spanked enough as a kid.- Critical Race Theory policy in hiring at UT
Depending on the context, that book looks awesome for smart, thoughtful, and educated kids. Reading things that challenge you and piss you off is the hallmark of a good education, even if you end up rejecting those ideas entirely. It’s not indoctrination; it’s education. In my fantasy world, public school teachers would be treated more like college professors; requiring very high educational attainment, self-policing accreditation standards, and intellectual freedom in the classroom. For example, I’d much rather my son learn a series of challenging historical perspectives from brilliant teachers than a uniform version of history that doesn’t upset the loudest and least educated among us. I’d also eliminate all statewide testing and trust my highly trained and highly paid professionals to teach well.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
With a half million documents, it seems like a nightmare keeping track of what is what. Hopefully those are indexed and annotated into some sort of master Bates list.- Tinnitus
I’ve had it for the past few months. I went to the ENT and they saw some dead skin on my ear drum. Hearing tests showed that my ear was perfectly healthy. They gave me some ear drops and today they peeled the skin off. It was painless and as far as I can tell, the ringing is gone. We’ll see for sure tonight, but it’s definitely much better. Any tinnitus sufferer who hasn’t gone to a doc about it, it might be something dumb like mine.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
