@stoptheflop thanks for the ideas for sports programming. I’ll check it out!

Enjoyed Mccaskill calling Lindsey Graham a POS after his comments re: the Roger Stone commutation.

@kjayhawks Evil are the people saying not to wear masks, and trying to force kids back to school while this virus is surging. Tell me, are the people doing that Democrats or Republicans? I want those people gone.

The polls are so overwhelmingly pro-Biden. I see no basis for your assumption that Trump will win in a landslide other than fantasy fan-fiction @kjayhawks.

To your second point, as I said a few posts up, this goes beyond politics, it’s evil vs not evil. By evil I’m referring to Trump being an incompetent heartless idiot, and all of his cronies being on board for enabling this hellride. This is way beyond traditional Republican and Democratic positions. It’s about the people.

@benshawks08 Jesus. Can we exercise our right to be optimistic? I feel like that’s been taken away from us.

This election isn’t just about politics. It’s about evil vs not evil.

Evil will lose when it is exposed because evil is hated, because evil violates the golden rule.

I anticipate a resurgence of true morality in this country. Better times ahead.

@kjayhawks no way Trump wins.

@kjayhawks are you suggesting that Trump will win or that Biden is stupid? If you mean the latter, can we at least measure stupidity in orders of magnitude?

@wrwlumpy Haven’t seen you on in a while. Hope you’re ok.

It has been a month of no attempts to mask his ugliness. He’s a feast for crows right now. I wonder what will be left of him when he’s out. Certainly not his dignity. His fortune? His freedom?

Exposed imbecilic monster, like a dead giant squid splayed out on the beach and rotting under a harsh sun.

Melania knew this would happen.

Whatever happened to “kneeling during the national anthem is a sign of disrespect toward the troops”? Those were the days…

The Trump aura is shattered.

“I’d vote for a tuna fish sandwich before I vote for Trump.”

@benshawks08 Trump triggers me. Is it January yet?

Hospitals are nearly at capacity in Texas, Arizona, and Florida @kjayhawks. Still deadly.

@FarmerJayhawk enjoyed this ad by The Lincoln Project, a Republican PAC trying to prevent a second Trump term:

Is Keon Coleman good enough to get minutes for Self or is that pillow talk?

@jayballer73 in my mind, if we were taking this seriously, we would stop activities until Covid is under control, not starting anything early to avoid doing it later. That doesn’t make sense to me. But neither has most of our response to this pandemic.

I know there is disappointment, uncertainty and sacrifice involved here, but the sacrifice should be the things other than lives. And the uncertainty should be about those things, not what the plan is to combat Covid. It’s mind boggling that we don’t have an agreed upon approach. And it’s because we want to keep all the other things we are juggling up in the air.

@Kcmatt7 they might consider renaming to “University of Texas-Missouri”

That is so much money!

Yeah. I think A&M has had lots of success and recognition on the national stage after moving over.

@nuleafjhawk thanks man! You all have really helped me maintain a personal sense of community through all this. Thank you.

@BShark we got the expansion pack for Breath of the Wild and played that a little. We’ve been watching Dark on Netflix. It’s been an interesting distraction from reality.

I hope you all have a healthy, happy Fourth! On this Fourth, I’m thankful that I haven’t lost anyone in my family (my brother got Covid but recovered) and that I still have a job. I hope you all have been so lucky.

This country will be stronger for all of this. It has to be. Just as any war where hundreds of thousands of people die, we as a country and as a planet have to learn from this and get better at handling pandemics, and reevaluate what it means to be among the living and what we want life to be like for each of us individually and for everyone as a society. I look forward to a United States of America!

My grill is out of commission atm but I got the ripple chip and onion dip so this song got blasted in my house (a favorite from college, long ago).

Check out Tom Keegan (@TomKeeganBoston): https://twitter.com/TomKeeganBoston?s=09

So… where does he live?

ESPN has a Zion documentary about his one year at Duke entitled “Earn Everything”. Is this where they make the case that college athletes should be allowed to earn money for attending college?

@BShark This is how the NCAA pretends its an impartial decision?

I support your desire to break free of voting for either of the major parties. For us to be able to do so effectively I have a few considerations:

• who is the other guy, the one you’re voting for? This is critical. He has to be someone good or represent a platform that is good. Can’t just be a Mickey Mouse write in. We need to establish new alternates that represent a better way forward, or else we get no where.
• Is that person better than both of the major candidates? Also critical. These votes must do more good than harm.
• Who are the alternative candidates for other levels of government? I believe to make sustainable change we need to find a way to get more independents or third party candidates into local positions and at every level. Our ultimate endgoal should be the House and Senate, but build up to that . We also need to make info about the candidates easily accessible to all that overcome major party bias.
• What are the laws preventing third party and independent candidates from having a chance and how can we make our voices heard to change them?

@DanR nice! I am honestly stoked about exploring the possibilities of squash now with these great ideas from all.

@approxinfinity

After much deliberation and internal politicking, we went with something close to @Kcmatt7 's suggestion this go around (and no potatoes available).

Broiled squash halves for 9 min while simmering tomato paste, garlic, ground beef, oregano, then scooped guts, threw them into the sauce mix, stuffed them, mixed some stovetop stuffing in half of them, put parmesan on some and mexican shredded cheese on others, and baked at 400 3 min more.

The results were excellent. However, sadly, a failure because my children found reasons to complain.

I will gladly eat this again, while they eat cold pizza. Thanks!

Wow. Donald Trump Implosion 2020. Even if it is sarcasm it doesn’t matter. Retweeting that is so dumb. Trump just doesn’t care any more.

@Kcmatt7 nice! I’ll try this. May try with ground beef.

sweet. thanks! I’ll let you know how it goes.

@mayjay nice! I like the sound of “tops get crispy”. So far, most of my squash attempts have leaned heavily towards “squishy”.

Yellow crookneck.

Planted way too much squash it seems. How can I make eating it enjoyable?

I’ve currently got 11 squash plants. Anyone have a way of making it delicious?

@benshawks08 but isn’t rocking the boat the last thing you want to do when it’s listing?

@benshawks08 Umm. I don’t think I can get your post back without digging into the database.

You had good points in the post.

@FarmerJayhawk he said he just got Kendis book and was looking forward to reading it fully but didn’t think he interpreted what Kendi had to say as you did and wanted to discuss more.

Also you said that you recommend Grandmother’s Hands, a book about the psychology of trauma and there is a section about race.

I see you man

Crap @benshawks08 I was trying to quote you. Sorry man.

@Texas-Hawk-10 @mayjay @benshawks08 We need to cancel the feel bad culture and find a way to move forward positively. You’re never going to make meaningful change if you’re trying to defeat the other half of this country and make them bend the knee to how you see things. Frankly, what @HighEliteMajor said about “DESTROYING YOU” may have more in common with your approach to this issue than you think. It is a mirror.

@benshawks08 I think what you define as racist is what I define as unconscious bias. The reason this matters is because I’m not subscribing to the guilt of being a racist. I’m not a racist. Sure, you and I both have unconscious biases. And that’s ok. Some we can live with, some we may actively seek to change when we become aware of them. We aren’t racists as I define it.

Any sort of dichotomy as it applies to the human condition is artificial. I have an uneasy peace with it when it comes to sports.

The longest paper I wrote at college was about artificial dichotomies : capitalism vs communism, conservative vs liberal, winners and losers, etc. When you look at them closely, they all fall apart. Critical race theory sounds to be no different.

@FarmerJayhawk furthermore, I am antiracist. But “what is racist?” is what we are debating. And the fact that it is debatable, and I believe it is, makes critical race theory as you’ve defined it, pretty impractical.

I haven’t seen the kids other comments. But I don’t believe this comment is isolation is racist. That is all I am arguing.

@FarmerJayhawk I don’t think some nerd in an ivory tower gets to decide what a word means and strip away hundreds of years of connotation. Racist is among the worst perjoratives in this country and that isn’t changing any time soon.

@benshawks08 Defending our freedom of speech isn’t about defending only things people say that we like.

But if you can’t identify that statement as racist it gives cover to all the crap that idiot says too.

This reads like “You’re either with us or against us”.

We know it’s racism even if technically you can’t exactly point to how.

You can’t exactly point to how either.

I don’t want this country to be shoot first and ask questions later.

Caution is appropriate here.

Guys. How can we go after a kid here when we’ve got a president saying this shit daily and a major news company saying it as well? I mean isnt that the elephant in the room?

@mayjay I think you’re getting side tracked with trying to argue against a point of view when @ajvan was not trying to justify the reasoning for that point of view ( why people might have want to express a negative opinion about Floyd because his shortcomings are glossed over). His point, I believe, is just to acknowledge that this is a common point of view.

@FarmerJayhawk I looked but just saw a bunch of retweets. I’m not sure what I’m looking for or where to look. I don’t use Twitter much so it may just be my ignorance.
