  1. Listening to the Tiger Territory podcase and I can't tell if this is only there because I'm in the DC Metro area or not...but they have a commercial against lawsuit abuse which seems to try to claim that "under Biden everything got so expensive because of lawsuit abuse" What the actual bleep? How is that even remotely a thing? No, under Biden we had free trade and the cost of things was driven by the understanding that we live in a nation which has a foundation of the rule of law. Now we live in the crazy times when Master Blaster in the White House demands you kiss his ring or he'll shut out the lights.
  2. Subaru is the quintessential Boulder vehicle pre-tech arrival. Just granola enough and just not-regular America enough. The LGBGTQx4rti aspect doesn't hurt that image.
  3. Pete Hegseth gonna post some cool emojis on the Signal for this one.
  4. It would be nice of India to hit the PRC bases in Pakistan for us. Probably not going to happen because this is more about hate than anything that would be practical for us.
  5. The hippy freaks are the least obnoxious aspect of Denver metro culture: Besides the above...the other part of Denver metro culture... is the dumb money. I have a buddy who owns a bike shop in Boulder...that hippy dippy culture has faded as the tech bros moved in (I guess Google set up shop) but its still sort of there among the stupid money people who park their Porches across multiple parking lines because their daddy has a lawyer on retainer to fight parking tickets.
  6. Remember when Les Aspin ripped off his shirt and chugged that bottle of JD?
  7. They wouldn't be on the ballot unless they cleared the constitutional hurdle before hand. Now you tell me that Trump can't lose no matter what..i'm not going to accept that.
  8. I've considered a couple grad certificate programs for my retirement just to satisfy my academic interests but every time I do I butt up against some aspect of the academic program that just seems ridiculous hoop jumping. Its a frustrating place to be sure.
  9. Maybe Kanye could run for the seat.
  10. You can see it here as a matter of fact. Having coached some good fastpitch softball players in my day...if you see this look, you either have a gamer or a girl who needs therapy or both.
  11. My wife and I will laugh when we are looking at Zillow on the appletv and see a feature deliberately shown in long view to obscure imperfections with a "What a hitter!"
  12. The absolute fury that Lori Petty has when she's competing against her sister and her own demons, particularly in the final game is pretty great. My wife hates Lori Petty for reasons i don't understand but I can absolutely salute the look in Petty's eyes in those scenes
  13. Some amazing stuff in that Vance article. Ed Martin loves him some Hitler. He's also really, really, really bad at his job.
  14. This is getting interesting. If he can't get this kookoo bird confirmed that bodes well for the Senate stiffening its spine.
  15. Opens the door for Margorie Taylor Green run. Hope she tries.
  16. My question is: does the perfect university president for U-M exist? A guy who balances the sports madness with the social advocacy and/or academic integrity focus of the average graduate student. You can't be: the dean from "Revenge of the Nerds" who finally stands up to the mean football coach Dean Wormer who finally goes to war with the rowdy greek community (in service to the local mafia boss) tbf, this isn't really a thing but I figured I'd include this archetype. a dean who costs Michigan all of its research funding by failing to thread the needle with the current administration (which may or may not have cost significant political capital for Gov Whitmer in her effort to secure Selfridge ANGB) someone who fails to check the box for the school's social justice role
  17. Man....its almost as If I had a head injury this morning. I will also say that if anyone hasn't given love to "9 Men Out"* then you are missing a good baseball yarn. It stars Cyril Cusak, and Emilio Estevez is in it. *i did that deliberately
  18. I had an alcatraz tour last summer. It didn't impress me as a place where you could put as many inmates as Trump would want to. Supermax has a better warehousing for inmates capability. I see per a quick google that the correct name for this federal supermax facility is ADX Florence in Florence, Colorado.
  19. Weird how 75% didn't vote for it.
  20. Since only Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania matter anymore...do you think he would be confident enough that he could win these states against Obama?
  21. SO, because it is an off day I'm going to share the glove I designed and ordered for myself on Rico Gloves website as part of my winning an auction at my softball program's spring celebration. I chose the livery aka color scheme from the TACP beret flash which combines blue for the Air Force, Green for the Army units we support and red for the firepower we coordinate. My son called the glove heinous. Before too long it will be covered in dirt and unrecognizable.
  22. who had more votes
  23. The thing keeping him from running again (unconstitutionally) in 2028 is the idea that Obama would run and destroy him. And I for one never voted for Obama but would push this narrative so the orange fool would back away from his native cowardice.
  24. Bang the Drum Slowly is quite good. For the Love of the Game is a personal favorite for when the Tigers are bad.
