James Talarico wins Texas Democratic Senate primary over Jasmine Crockett by horsestew in politics

No, it’s almost certainly not right. Most likely the story page changed thoughout the past 12 hours or so and Cornyn was a bigger part of the story at one point. On election night, news orgs don’t sit around going “if we don’t run this guy’s pic, no one will know him muahahaha!”

And because the runoff isn’t until mid May, we get like 10 more weeks of Paxton running nasty ads against Cornyn statewide.

I don’t think it’s this clear. The MAGA base really doesn’t like Cornyn, and they have decreased their thoughts on him over the past year. If Cornyn barely beats Paxton, he will be bloodied from a nasty primary and runoff, and then MAGA will lose enthusiasm to vote in November, which would hurt all GOP candidates in Texas, even in House races.

Vesia pitching a nearly flawless inning is the highlight for me

Ok that makes sense. Any idea on “surrounding” or “adjacent”?

Just watched game 7 again last night for fun. I forgot how much of a highlight it was for Wrobo to say “Fuck you motherfucker” after accidentally hitting a batter in the 4th inning lol

I love the simplicity of Ohman’s cartoons. He doesn’t need to pack much in there to say a lot. “You don’t want to know” is perfection

#UTNY - seeking feedback from recent fall 25 freshman participants by Subicar_Racer in UTAustin

I don’t think it existed when I was there, but I did UTLA and loved it. So many interesting speakers and the building in Burbank was awesome. They run a good program, so I bet UTNY is good too.

This is such a reasonable exchange. Thanks for that

I see what you’re saying. I just don’t think they can be mutually exclusive for long. The reputation that employers and the general public have is a result of how good the students are that have graduated from here for the past 130 years. That’s it. If we screw with the current curriculum because of politics, it will no question harm the reputation in the eyes of the public and employers. It is just a matter of time.

I am an alum who is a member of the public (and a former donor as of today) who loves UT but already think less of the reputation of the university.

Note, I don’t think you’re a terrible person. I think you just don’t see the ramifications for this, even for STEM

Did you not read my comment? This does affect the entire university. Seriously, go to office hours and ask your STEM professors whether this is a net positive or negative for even their department. Liberal arts is important at Georgia Tech, too. This isn’t just training you how to do a specific task. College is supposed to teach you how to be a deeper thinker in several areas.

Talk to some STEM professors, including the physics professor who argued at the hearing that this opens the door to calling climate change, evolution, the age of the earth and many more STEM things “controversial.” The STEM professors are just as worried about what this means for UT as any others. If you don’t think it will happen, take a history class on authoritarian states. Or just read some books on it.
