Benny the Snake posted:So Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke harassed a random guy im the airport and threatened him afterwards. If you read the report, it allegedly happened because the dude questioned why the sheriff wore a Cowboys jersey after the divisional game. Why am I not surprised the rear end in a top hat's a Cowboys fan? Not rebranding 'fake news' to some other term is another left wing blunder, since the right has been pushing that poo poo about legitimate news for at least 30 years.

Oh are we doing history book chat? I really liked Iron Coffins by Herbert A Werner about serving as an officer and later captain on U Boats during WW2. Like, if you know anything about the Battle of the Atlantic you realize they're total death traps by the end of the war, but just everything about serving on one sounds miserable. There's a story about taking on eggs for a crew of 50 but everyone except the few experienced guys were so seasick they couldn't eat them, so the author and a few other guys were stuck eating nothing but eggs so they wouldn't all go bad. It's also interesting if you're into learning how regular guys viewed how the war was going on at certain points.

CharlestheHammer posted:I am reading books about the Seleukid Empire because I am so loving bored of WW2. I randomly chose an apologistic book about Caligula to report on that attempted to view him in a unbiased light way back when I was in school. It was alright. Might have been this. Pretty much everyone who wrote about the dude who actually knew what went down is on the record as hating him, which is evidence that he was everything people tend to think about him. But it could also be evidence that maybe he wasn't quite all that bad and just pissed off the type of people who wrote about things back then. I'm not actually recommending this book but it's about that other thing that's way over analyzed and not WW2 so...

Probably Magic posted:I'm imagining Ye Olde School AFC South thread just being three Colts posters getting drunk and comparing burger places to go to when they're in Indy with an occasional Texans fan coming on, calling Bud Adams an rear end in a top hat, and leaving. I came in at the tail end of the old divisional threads but I remember the AFC South posters seemed to all be ridiculously chill with each other, although everyone who wasn't a Colts fan would complain about Peyton. It was like the exact opposite of the NFC South where everyone hated each other no matter what.

Hot Diggity! posted:Need footage asap Or a link to a story so I don't have to google Richard Spencer. I just saw the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is going to release a new Doomsday Clock setting today (it might stay the same). We're currently one minute off of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qbRHY1l0vc I honestly had no idea we were at 3 minutes to midnight already, I am a bad doomsday clock watcher. After looking it up apparently they pay attention to any doomsday scenario and global warming was the main motivation to move it down the last couple of times, so there's a good chance we match the old cold war record of 2 from 1953.

Turdsdown Tom posted:If the systematic rape and cover-up of literal children won't do it, then what the gently caress will? Ignoring arguments about what the NCAA's jurisdiction is (which, honestly are probably relevant) it's basically never going to happen to a big program again. The NCAA was #1 horrified at what happened to SMU and #2 actually kind of works for the big programs. Or at least the P5 can opt out and start their own thing if it comes down to it. The death penalty is now reserved for like D3 volleyball programs who gently caress up.
