This is the longest stretch in Cubs history they have gone without losing a game. At the same time, the Cardinals and Reds have not won a game yet. The Hawks look better now than they did most of the season. I call it a mercy killing.

I go to the zoo to boo the Bears.

I think the Left wants to extend the Pandemic as much as they can. They want to spread fear and chaos among the public.

The Lions need so much help in so many different areas.

I go to zoo to give the Lions "Jazz" hands.

Only GS. 😁

Agree....as long as your paying for it...it must be safe.

Thats what the HNAC was going to be. North White and West Central drug their feet, Triton and LaVille joined. West Central then quickly moved to join, then North White i guess asked to be in after saying no to invite from hnac but was denied, then joined hoosier heartland as football only till new MWC was created.

Get used to it.

The Valparaiso Vikings dominate the Sectional, crush Concord/Mishawaka, win a tight one over the Saints - the new QB Grimes making all the difference, then eke out a win over the Irish of Cathedral during Thanksgiving weekend. 5A State Champs!

https://reason.com/2020/06/12/protesters-activists-shor-floyd-1793-project/ Fang was plainly terrified, and not unreasonably fearful of losing his job and being branded a racist forever. The Volokh Conspiracy's David Bernstein called Fang's forced apology "Maoist-style." It's a hyperbolic analogy, referencing the infamous "struggle sessions" of Mao Zedong's totalitarian communism regime. Thankfully, the dissenters from woke orthodoxy are not being tortured or executed for wrongthink. But they do face tremendous pressure to avoid saying anything that might provoke an online mob, or an illiberal colleague, or an activist with different priorities—even if that thing they want to say is plainly true. This new reality has important social consequences: for the individuals caught in the crosshairs, but also the institutions attempting to navigate these very treacherous waters. Given that so many cancellations hinge on the accusation that safety is being undermined, I would suggest a different metaphor than Mao. Mine is no less hyperbolic, but it puts the focus where my reporting—and Haidt and Lukianoff's research—suggest it should be. In 1793, the Committee of Public Safety took charge of the French Revolution on a promise to "make terror the order of the day." Evidence-free show trials and ideological purges followed, consistent with the radical leaders' belief that public safety requires public terror. Needless to say, critics of today's radicals do not live in terror of being sentenced to the guillotine. But losing employment and social standing is no small matter. Having a job is usually connected to having health care and economic security: the ability to afford food, housing, and medicine. While some people weather and overcome their cancellation—even profiting from it—others aren't so lucky. We hear a lot about the cases where things worked out eventually (this Olivia Nuzzi piece is a must-read), but many cases never produce a sympathetic backlash that aids the cancelled. And being shamed online by thousands of people over a trivial offense is an unpleasant and exhausting experience, even if it doesn't permanently impact your employment. This is not to say that every person being cancelled at the moment is a martyr for the cause of free speech. Los Angeles magazine has a list of the recently cancelled. Several were accused of fostering unpleasant work environments. Were they guilty? Maybe so. Recentlty ousted Bon Apetit editor-in-chief Adam Rappaport, for instance, seems like an unpleasant person to work for. Food writer Alison Roman, on the other hand, was dragged on social media for 1) daring to criticize Chrissy Teigen, and 2) wearing an offensive Halloween costume more than a dozen years ago. The photo of Roman was circulated on Twitter by the journalist Yashar Ali, a friend of Teigen with a history of fiercely defending her. Ali claimed the costume was intended as a "chola" stereotype of Mexican-Americans; Roman countered that she was dressed up as Amy Winehouse. Ali deleted his tweet but said he thought it was fair game because Roman had a history of "being called out for appropriation." (Twitter users immediately dug up a photo of Teigen in a culturally appropriative Halloween costume.) Ironically, the same subset of people ostensibly exercised about emotional safety—the woke left—seem frequently inclined to level unsubstantiated accusations that inflict emotional harm. This makes it difficult to believe that these Twitter warriors' true aim is the promotion of psychological comfort. Did any of them consider Uhlig's mental health after the man was baselessly accused? Does anyone care about Roman, who probably did not expect her enemies to ransack her Myspace page for evidence of racism and then pillory her for a photo taken when she was 23? What about Shor, thrown to the wolves for making a reasonable objection to what one wing of the protesters was doing? That sounds like terror, not safety. Call it the 1793 Project. All these "woke" progressives are hypocrites, every single one of them. And for those of us who truly value the free and open exchange of ideas and public discourse should challenge and refute this politically correct, "cancel culture", bullshit at every opportunity. We cannot let them win. They are the one's who are choosing to be offended, choosing to be afraid. But not I.

Of course that is what the chaperone is going to say, helps to abdicate them from any responsibility in the matter.

So most if not all qualified military recruits should have played tackle football?

I think that is rather obvious..........................

And negative press about your site was spread by a number of GID and pro-pp zealots in an attempt to smear you. I remember those days.

DT certainly had more posts with actual content that you did, Gonzo. And I believe him when he says that counting the prior two iterations of the GID his post count was 10k+. I'm pretty sure my count was in the 14k range. Pity that the GID technical support team didn't put any priority on actually backing up the GID site data from time to time.

It's not. You are the one who seems to think it is relevant, given your questioning of DT's assertion. An IT professional educated in a private school? Yes, I know several. Do you know any?

Sure. My bad, I didn't know this topic has already been created.

No, I do not. Do you?

I'm happy that you have such money to spend. Must be that large Clark County Nevada government teacher's salary.

Possibly. But when I contribute money for political purposes it is usually to a specific campaign and not a political party.

Thank you for the info, sorry about that.

So sorry you're blatantly misinformed, but the Pandemic rolls on, and in many places it is exercising its second wind. All of these, so called, reopening to normalcies, are just a gamble that every state's health department may be able to stay on top of the citizen's healthy do diligence and everyone continues to exercise safe social distancing, and the use of face masks. I guess it is fine to handicap your own decision making for the finishes in 5A football.
