    Politics Nobel Peace Prize (Awarded to Maria Corina Machado)

    So now there's a backlash from the left on Twitter (fueled by bots apparently) because Machado thanked Trump. Or that she asked for Netanyahu for support. Or that she hasn't denounced the Gaza invasion. Or that she hasn't pledged to save the rainforests. The opposition in Venezuela depends on...

    UNC Sports UNC Football Catch-all | Bill Belichick Era underway

    Yeah, I'm not sold on that as a blanket rule, particularly with young coaches. In a broad sense, think administrators can be too quick to fire coaches and don't really get at the root cause of issues. In this particular case, he's not a young coach though he still has a learning curve going...

    Politics Nobel Peace Prize (Awarded to Maria Corina Machado)

    The favorite on Polymarket is Sudan's Emergency Response Rooms (?) at 36%. Yulia Navalnaya is second with 10%. That's Alex Novelty's widow (had to look that up). Trump has a 5% chance.

    Politics Turning Points

    Personally, this was one of the three most incredible events of my lifetime in terms of US vulnerability. Never had imagined something like that could happen in a major American city....perople stranded in the Superdome, breakdown in the streets, futility of the federal government, etc.

    Think we'll add AI to the list eventually.

    Politics Turning Points

    In my previous life as a marketing guru, one of the things we studied at were events that shape national identity. There are some events that only affect a nation or a region, while there are some developments that can have international consequence (9/11 and COVID are two clear examples of the...

    Off-Topic This thread is totally random

    The Central American games will be held in Guatemala in the second half of October. Things may be a real shitshow (apparently the covet has not released funds). Yesterday I heard that two other teams are the favorites in basketball. Nothing like fuel for motivation.

    For the record, I don't understand half of what Bad Bunny says either.

    UNC Sports UNC Football Catch-all | Bill Belichick Era underway

    The worst part is that he's doing such a terrible job that no NFL owner will go near him. Yeah, I know they passed on him last time but I think his insistence on being in charge of personnel had a lot to do with that.

    UNC Sports UNC Football Catch-all | Bill Belichick Era underway

    I was incredulous at that letter. His solution is to go exactly the opposite way pf where college football is headed? These guys were supposed to be expert talent evaluators of college players and suddenly they're going to pivot to be masters of high school recruiting? I've listened to Lombardi...

    Looks like Ford has been right all along. This is terrible.

    Politics Latin America Politics General Thread

    That's an interesting read. I would quibble on some things, but tend to agree with most of the diagnosis (though curiously not the headline). Think this is a cautionary tale...be careful what you wish for. Our shift from a two-party system that alternated power for 50 years gave rise to a...

    Politics Hegseth ordered hundreds of generals to meet on short notice in Virginia

    More political theater. Pete Hesgeth is a joke. We live in a more dangerous world with him in charge of the most powerful armed forces in the history of mankind.

    Mark my words, he will take games out of one of the blue cities to "set an example". My money would be on Chicago.
