Many of the problems called out with BEAD funding are actually very necessary. The lack of controls were used to rip off previous broadband grants such as RDOF and supported anticompetitive practices.
General point was very correct though.

Wow. Do they have anything on Bay of Pigs?

Holy shit! I have no recollection of this. How did that get made?! I have so many questions. Was Captain Planet produced in Canada? Who were the writers that thought this was in any way appropriate? Stunned.

Most of them haven’t figured out Twitter yet. They’re still confused by the series of tubes.

I don’t want people to follow me. 90% of my thoughts are complete shit. I post them here to save my family from having to deal with it.

I fast forwarded through all of that and I’m a Prince fan!

I’m totally with you there. I have nothing but respect for PSU. That was a hell of a game. Might have been even better with a different officiating crew. Kids on both sides played their hearts out. And Tyler Warren is special.

I honestly feel bad for LSU fans. I loved that program but will always root against BK. ND got what we deserved when we hired him and he left us the same way we got him.

ND fans feeling the same way about the refs. So, I guess that means they were at least fair?
I saw a great pic of a Penn State player punching Riley Leonard in the giblets while he was on the ground.
Good game Penn State. I appreciate you. #GoIrish

My thought while reading it: We get it you love the 80’s. Holy shit who cares what model alarm clock was used and what year it was produced! Wow did that drag.

I want to see your reaction to that last Bears fumble. It will make this loss feel a little better.

Maybe. But point out what I said that is inaccurate please.
Instead of complaining about f’ing combine radios why not focus on why rurals are so drawn to the messages of talk radio? Maybe their fears come from a real (to them) place that should be understood instead this crap.

Gotcha, rurals = MAGA because 10-20 years ago combines and tractors only had AM radio. Glad we are in the same page.
I would posit it is views like this that rurals are monolithic leading them to the far right more than the frequency band of their farm implements.

So, if the issue is rurals (rural people?) and talk radio why bring up combines at all?

Don’t you dare besmirch ND like that! #GoIrish

A simple google search shows this is not true. Combines like cars have options for their sound systems and most have am/fm/bluetooth.
