People say it isn't polite to discuss religion or politics. I have a Ph.D. in not being polite.
This is truly heartbreaking.
A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack.
The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

Admittedly, I know I am an optimistic fan. All of the teams I cheer for have had serious dry spells. None of them are currently in any position to be considered a dynasty or even in the upper level of their respective sports.

Speaking of alienating fans, I think our admin has had some unforced errors that caused even further dissatisfaction among fans, and I am inclined to blame Rhodes for most if not all of them.

So things are very bad in Bear Nation—no bowl game, little hope for the future, fanbase in various stages of crashing out and quitting and saying all kinds of things that you say out of frustration.

Has anyone ever proposed a graphic novel version of Kitchen Confidential by #AnthonyBourdain? I, for one, would think it would be a great idea.

This review at the end of the first quarter of the Baylor game is so dumb. It should not have been a shot clock violation because the ball hit the rim. Baylor should have been able to keep possession and play on.

Looks like change is inevitable after this season. And it’s a real shame because I really thought Aranda could have been the niche we needed to win in this new era of college football.

Maybe, after everything Baylor has gone through this week, maybe it’s a good thing we have an unemotional, cerebral coach.

As much as I want to laugh at A&M for this stupidity, this move is incredibly damaging to higher ed as a whole, esp. in TX.
Alumni need to use the critical thinking skills they developed learning when to plant and what to plant and fight this administrative overreach!

Who got to them, and why did they flip? Was it donations? Favors? Dirt?
Any in case, they 8 who flipped cannot be trusted.

What makes this more frustrating is that Dems were winning.
They had public opinion
They had base enthusiasm
They had Trump making tactical mistakes every day
And they lose

This is why this surrender isn't just about this narrow issue but is rather the whole constitutional ballgame:
Democrats are affirmatively signaling they do not want political power at the same time Trump is transitioning the political system into an autocratic one wherein they're denied it forever
