Gotta love Sonny Dykes
For people who honestly believe that finding litter in a location is a one-time thing, I don't think they have enough common sense to understand your point.
I'm seriously doubt that this is a "popular belief." I've always understood litter abatement to be an ongoing task. I would think you'd have to have largely never been outside in a city to believe otherwise.
Watched two college football games and was happy to have Dave Pasch and Dave Flemming as the play-by-play announcers. Two of my favorites.
Yes, I understand. And if they hadn't picked up any litter there would be (something like) twice as much litter. You don't really need a "litter cleanup crew" in places where litter is a one-time thing.
@calfootball.bsky.social QB spent an entire semester at Oregon. I know he still counts as "true freshman," but the ESPN announcers are hammering it way hard -- like every time they refer to him. He was on the sideline in the CFP, ffs.
"Despite cleaning up several times a week, they found roughly the same amount of trash each time they returned." This is evidence they are succeeding at limiting the amount of trash. If you pick up trash and there is no trash the next time you go, you probably didn't really need to do the pickup.
Now you are also saying he shouldn't be held responsible. Regardless, if somebody says a person "shouldn't be held responsible for that crime," I'm allowed to say "yes they should" and that doesn't depend on whether the person was convicted of the crime. It's weird you're debating this idea.
I mean, if today is any indication, he should finish that degree
"Running back room by committee" is a whole other level of offense. Are you saying they are going to rotate who is in the "RB room"? No, of course not. He means "running back by committee." Stop saying [Position] Room on TV. It's so freaking stupid.
But you get in responding to a post that relieves him of responsibility, right?
war is peace, freedom is slavery, and so forth
like... is her point that nothing non-physical can be sexy? That's not just a weird line, it's a shitty and ridiculous one.
Seems like "pro democracy is sexy" is a weird line to draw on "not all things need to be sexy/not sexy."
Can we grab Judith Light from 20 years ago to play her in the movie?
Deion: please change the rules so I can't recruit anybody because every good player is going to go to CFP schools even if they aren't going to play as much
Several aggressive plays at the wall were the difference between Griffey being the HOFer he is and his being a true highest level all-time great. It's not worth it for elite hitters, who should not be playing OF if this is what you want OFs to do

I'm just now understanding that the grief over Newsom is people think he's going to be the 2028 presidential nominee. That seems vanishingly unlikely.
Your new argument is you have the same chance at obtaining LGBTQ+ rights in democracy with a leader you oppose than you do in an authoritarian state. Only a Trump person would take that position. I'm obviously not going to continue to feed you, MAGA troll.
Am I the only one who says "kinky" when I see the commercial where the guy goes: "You should get Tide."
that's just not what kicking out means. Also a very interesting take that LGBTQ+ people have no choice, given how many are on the same side as I am. Are you going to go tell all those people they don't exist?
This is just so ridiculously stupid. There is zero chance for human rights under Trumpism. If we defeat him, you and I will be aligned in our fight against people like Newsom. (For the record, I live in CA and lived in SF when he was mayor and have never actually voted for Newsom.)
To be clear, this is what I decided: Fighting the authoritarian regime that probably wants to murder my child and definitely wants to take her from me is more important and better protects her than some bullshit purity on who I align with in that fight. not the thing you said.
No, it's because "literally" means it's actually happening and "kick out" doesn't mean "take positions that people don't like, after which they decide leave."
I understand you don't hold anti-LGBTQ+ beliefs. I also understand that you are taking positions that are empowering an administration that is likely going to try to take my 12yo away from me and quite possibly arrest me for supporting her.
Maybe the issue is you don't yet accept that American democracy no longer exists. If that's where you are, I can see why you're having trouble getting on board with fighting authoritarianism at all costs. You'll likely get there, but it may not be until after the Trump people come for you.
I do agree I'm asking people (including myself) to align with people they don't want to align with. I don't like Newsom (for many reasons, starting with trans issues). But my trans daughter is way more fucked under Trumpism than any alternative. I'll fight it out with the Newsoms when we're free.
I disagree with that take, but that is not what "literally kicking somebody out" means.
If the predictive text in Teams were any good, it would know by now that when somebody says "thank you" to me in a Teams chat, it should offer me "sure thing." It gives you three options, and I say "sure thing" way more than 1/3 of the time in response to a Teams "thank you." It's close to 100%
Is anyone arguing trickledown anymore? I think the argument for the past decade or so has just been taxes unfair ug ug ug
Then you still have the order of things wrong. He needs to be removed THEN the justices quit. Any justice who quits today will be replaced by Trump.
STOP ACTING LIKE YOU BELIEVE THE OCCUPATION OF DC IS ABOUT CRIME
Even better, don't be on the lookout for them Try to save democracy through whatever means are available. YES ON 50
So you retract the many statements you've made accusing me of being anti-LGBTQ+? I'd add: You are anti-LGBTQ+. Not in your beliefs (giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're not a MAGA troll), but in effect because you are advocating positions that reify Trump's power.

Today on Celebrity Death Match: Jeff Bleich vs. Willie Mays's son (son son son....)!!!!
Stop wondering why: It's because you define "anti-LGBTQ accounts" to include parents of trans kids who oppose anti-trans actions and policies, but who are also, on the topic of preserving democracy, are willing to side with anybody on the pro-democracy side.
so you don't know what "literally" means, in addition to not knowing what "kicking out" means?
Weird take from a person who oppose anti-authoritarianism
I'm literally saying the opposite of that. Again, you can choose to not know the truth -- it's your right to elect ignorance, as you are doing.
Your ignorance starts with somehow not knowing what I've actually said in this conversation. It's a pretty staggering choice you're making, but I acknowledge your right to make that choice.
I just mean I'm not going to fight your ignorance any longer. It's a choice you're making and I don't think I can convince you to change your mind.
That's even more confusing because Godfather 2's message on socialism, to the extent it has one, is against.
When did they say that? Do you mean Trump v. Wilcox? bc saying Federal Reserve is different from other agencies isn't the same thing as warning anyone, or saying he can't fire them.
Flashback to sharks game at the cow palace in 91-92
To be clear, Clark is a very good defender and elite rebounder for a guard, so could still be better than Bueckers even if Bueckers ends up better offensively. Clark could also learn shot selection and improve her outside shot.
Clark probably deserves to be #1, but she's a volume scorer and in the long run I suspect Bueckers being a far, far more accurate shooter and comparable passer will lead to her being a much better offensive player. Clark may well turn into a high scorer who drags her team somewhat.
In Arms & Influence Schelling argues favorably for the strategy of bombing North Vietnam, so at least that one example was empirically a massive failure. I'm not saying he's wrong writ large, but certainty that he had a lot of blind spots.
That's not true. Fascist states generally put a fair amount of effort into maintaining a toothless political opponent.
You'd rather lose and are contributing to it being harder for my trans daughter to live in America. So, again fuck your pro Trump agenda.
To be clear, nobody is calling on you to endorse Newsom's anti-trans bullshit, which you should definitely call out when he is spouting it. I absolutely abhor his position on trans people. I also think Bill Kristol is awful on a lot of things. I'm glad he's on our side against Trump.
it's fine for you to be ignorant. I have fully supported my trans daughter through her early transition. And, unlike you, I'm trying to protect her by opposing Trumpian Fascism. You're a Trump supporter because you won't align against him with his opponents.
You don't know when somebody is bullshitting apparently. My 12yo trans daughter, I'm sure, will also tell you to fuck off.
In 2020, I said that people would use force to keep Trump in office. I missed the target by two weeks and a few blocks. But for 2028, Trump will have his own force in place. Same force will likely decide who gets to sit in Congress.
I'm fully aware of what families with trans kids have to do, given that I'm in that group and having to do those things. Seriously, go fuck yourself. You don't care about freedom at all. You've made that clear.
I'm not sure where you got "I'm supporting Newsom" although you're certainly right I'm on his side in his fight against Trump. You are literally choosing to make it worse for yourself and everyone else in the name of your purity. So so pure. You're basically a Bernie bro.
I'm literally on the side fighting fascism. You're saying you'll only fight fascism along side the fully pure. That's one of the reasons we are going to lose the fight against fascism. I don't blame you for leaving the country, esp. bc you're actually not willing to fight for it. It makes sense.
On one hand, sure. On the other hand, do you want them to militarize our schools? Because that's kind of what this implies.
ESPN says "Sports world reacts to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement" and shows by Sports World, they don't mean any actual athletes, just corporations. Weird.
Be prepared though, you're going to lose your rights a lot faster and more completely under authoritarianism that you would under democracy (as we're already seeing), where we could fight to have better politicians ONCE WE HAVE FREEDOM. But we don't currently live in an even semi-free country.
you're really digging hard into "words don't mean what they actually mean" with "kicked out" here. I get it: for you, purity is more important than freedom. You've made that clear. Many LGBTQ+ folks are of course actual allies to anti-authoritarianism, and you've made a different choice.
again, nobody is kicking you out. Feel free to choose authoritarianism, but that fucking sucks
If somebody gets on a soap box and says: "Trump Sucks" and you respond "Fuck you, you fucking bigot" you're supporting the destruction of our democracy. Congratulations on your purity.
I'm not going to argue with somebody who isn't even trying to follow the discussion. Nobody is telling you to vote for Republicans. We're saying "stop shouting people down while they are arguing for your side."
They are such terrible people
that's typically only true in democracies
not regretting my recent cancellation of YouTube TV
You know the president appoints supreme court justices right, and that if they all quit they'll be replaced by justices chosen by Trump. It won't be better; it might be marginally worse.
I mean, I don't really want Kelce to go to prison, so no, but I get the point
Which voters am I forcing out of the tent? I'm saying everyone who is against Trump is welcome. If your view is "no, not everyone whose against Trump is welcome, so I won't go in your tent," that's your call. Nobody is forcing that on you, smartypants.
The entire premise of saying steroid era baseball players are cheaters was that PEDs are illegal for the purpose the players used them. Why isn't that an issue for this sports league? Or was all the "steroid users are cheaters bc its illegal" stuff around baseball a giant lie?
That’s clearly not why. Stop lying @nytimes.com “The announcement appeared to be the Trump administration’s latest move to crack down on crime in the city.”
Our democracy has died. I'd turn the entirety of NY over to the Republicans forever for the two Hillary term timeline
so you're saying cracker barrel max?
I assume Kirk would say it's okay for Kelce to defend his fiance's honor by beating the shit out of kirk
Given Charlie Kirk's idea of what it is to be a man, it would be completely appropriate for Travis Kelce to beat Kirk within an inch of his life for talking about Kelce's fiancé. Just saying... Travis, you're up.
EVEN WITH THE HANDS, the accusations are the admissions
Stop talking about crime. This is an occupation. Call it an occupation. Trump is pursuing a tyrannical military occupation of the District of Columbia, using a fake emergency as an excuse.
I'd love to have him come in and help us out. But I don't think he'd like what I'd have him do to help us.

Pritzker responds to national crisis created by Trump. CNN: Pritzker responding to national crisis created by Trump is the actual cause of the national crisis
I mean... it is a true statement
"It's capitalism when the government owns the means of production" what a fucking asshole
Trump on deploying the National Guard to Chicago: "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States."
He isn't talking about himself?
No, I'm fully aware western journalists have been expelled. (There are white people living in gaza. Some may be journalists and so there may actually be a few white journalists there, but that's not my point.) Major media also knows most people who watch/read major media don't know shit about shit.
I just think the idea that the team could tumble from 24 wins is absurd. To "tumble" they'd have to challenge for the loss record.
ah, I see. You think CNN doesn't know it's viewers are mostly ignorant of this fact. Enjoy your pollyannaish life
hrm
who will be our yakov smirnoff?
I assume that's part of why states collapse
Why do they need to lie about the reason for Cal Raleigh's nickname? Is it really so bad that it's about his big butt?
Also: "Warriors are most likely team to make a move before the trade deadline" is the softest take of all time given that the Warriors literally have to make moves before the regular season to have a roster
Another false assumption in this article is that most people know the names of one-hit-wonder artists from 40 years ago. Some do. I'd say most don't
It's actually easy to use TikTok for >10 minutes and never have heard that song. My minimal tiktok usage generally doesn't serve me anything with music because of how I've (very minimally) used tiktok.
I missed my own point? wow
I'm struggling to imagine a scenario where the Sixers are significantly worse than last year, but a lot of people at ESPN apparently think significantly fewer than 24 wins is possible. Which... wow
