The libs of tiktoc alone have 3.9 million followers. The DSA only has 120k members. I bet that makes the DSA jealous.

I have just as much hope (if that's the right word) that Gabriel can be a success as Sanders can. He faced much better defences and his stats were pretty much on par with Sanders -- the one thing Sanders has going for him is that he does throw a very pretty (and catchable) deep ball and they stick in the memory more so than Gabriel.

This is a really bad move unless there is pressure to make sure turf is defeated.

"The Cleveland Browns are making one major change as the team moves to a new state-of-the-art stadium.

The Browns have announced that their $2.6 billion stadium, set for completion in 2029, will use artificial turf for its playing surface instead of grass. The Browns, who will play out the next few seasons in Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio, are currently one of 16 teams that play on real grass.

The move will tilt the scales 17-15 in favor of turf, a movement which players have vocally opposed for years.

But all is not lost for soil truthers. According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, the new stadium will reportedly be able to accommodate grass, just as several NFL venues did for the recently concluded 2026 FIFA World Cup. That means the Browns could have the option to swap out the turf for grass should the pressure from players be too heavy to ignore.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle repeatedly called out the NFL during the World Cup for not mandating grass fields across the league. Players have long argued that artificial turf causes more lower-leg injuries than grass does. But there has been some debate about whether that’s actually the case.

Kittle and the rest of the pro-grass movement still have at least three seasons to prevent turf from claiming majority in the NFL."

Pretty much eye-to-eye with everything you said there.


The status quo has to change or the party dies. The party has been held hostage by the socialist movement, and nobody seems to have the balls to tell them to sit down and shut up. It's crazy to me.

Also crazy to me is that we're entering an age where if you want a shred of common-sense political talk, you turn to Bill Maher or Stephen A. Smith. Maher teed off the other night and he couldn't be more right...

As of August 1, 2026, Senator Mitch McConnell has been absent from public view and the U.S. Senate for 49 consecutive days, missing 38 or more roll call votes. He was last seen casting a vote on Capitol Hill on June 11, 2026, and was officially hospitalized following a fall at his home on June 14, 2026.

Yes, Washington signed him to a one year deal back in March.

Same here. I almost have to "accidently" catch a game. Sometimes I'll scoreboard watch and tune in late if a game seems worthy. Once in a while it will just be on in the background while I'm doing other things.

I'm not bitter. I don't even miss it.

Once again, the price of crude didn't double. I have no idea how you are making your calculations. Crude oil prices have fluctuated heavily, surging by roughly 20% to 25% overall compared to pre-war levels. Brent crude started the conflict around $70 to $72 per barrel and now trades near $90 a barrel.

A 25% increase in the price of crude isn't double. To keep the same profit margins as before the war based on crude prices their profit would have increased by about 25%.

So whether you calculate it according to the price of gas or the price of oil your math isn't mathing. And now these numbers have came in.....................

ExxonMobil and Chevron reported massive second-quarter profits, with ExxonMobil doubling its earnings to $14.5 billion and Chevron nearly quadrupling its profits to $12.1 billion compared to the same period last year.

The Riff Master. Still shredding at 78. 🤘

Cool video!

Every morning I check the headlines hoping it will all go away.

That somehow some way karma will find a way.

That the scales of justice will balance. Please just disappear.

That is really interesting.

I have never gotten into photography.

I have spent a lot of time outdoors. The best times of my life have come from my time outside.

The Merlin app opens up a new road. Time has slowed me down and this gives me a chance to do something at a pace that fits.

well deserved for Grant too. He's been solid for us

Unconscious Mitch McConnell Scores Higher Approval Rating Than Conscious Version

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In an unprecedented political comeback, the entirely unconscious Mitch McConnell has garnered a vastly higher approval rating than the conscious version, a new poll revealed on Monday.

According to the poll, a whopping 78 percent of voters “strongly agreed” with the statement, “The USA would be in much better shape today if Mitch McConnell had been unconscious for the entire four decades of his congressional career.”

Voters pointed to progress on guns, the environment, and a host of other issues that could have been achieved if only McConnell had not been sentient.

Capitalizing on his newfound popularity, McConnell’s office issued the following statement: “The senator continues to be motionless and unresponsive, and the pile of legislative work near his hospital bed has gone completely untouched.”

I'll take this opportunity to post probably the sickest plays I ever had the privilege to watch live. Even watching the replay felt like my mind playing tricks on me. 🔥

This particular story has already been discussed in this forum. Only 400 out of those 6600 actually voted. No New jersey election was decided by 400 votes. Actually none where closer than several thousand votes.

So him posting that in response to "Can you specifically name one rigged election result" is just pure BS. But then again that's to be expected.

One thing I am sure of is that the executive branch, mainly the president holds far to much power. How much power a president has is not the same as the time of the founding fathers. It has evolved and increased greatly over time. And that's not isolated to which party or who is president. As of today we see executive orders being written on an unprecedented level pushing the boundaries of the constitution and being overturned in our courts.

I'm certainly not going to say that I agree with everything they stand for. Yet I do understand when one side goes off the rails you will get a pushback that goes off the rails as well in reaction to that.

And that's where we are now. Extremism is taking over on both sides and we are all worse off for it. Surely you must have seen something like this coming in response.

Big money QBs make plays that win games or close-out games...big money DEs should do that as well...but realistically less-often.

My memory of MG will be much more of him jumping offside on 3rd/4th and short...and getting 2+ sacks in games that were essentially blowouts...rather than frequent plays that impacted the outcome of the game.

The Ravens might have the most talent, but we'll see how Minter does in his first year.


It feels like the Bengals better figure things out on D and the OL before Burrow is wasted

My daughter just received a PhD.

Her dissertation was on large scale AI integration and scalable AI integration.

She built her own AI to handle her intellectual property at UGA.

I have begun messing around with it and it blows my mind. I feel like I am living the future.

I came from when people sold encyclopedias door to door.

IMO he was one of the truly great actors.

Even when he had small roles like in Sling Blade. He made a mark.

He had a way to capture the essence of the role.

Tender Mercies was an incredible movie. It was like watching real life. The ability to be natural is what great actors do.
