Empowered by the state constitution. I doubt they use the surface money from the fund for this (UT system gets 2/3 of annual surface money while A&M’s system gets 1/3), and I also doubt constitution would ever be amended. It would be interesting if it could be amended. There are a lot of schools with alumni voters that would want a piece of that fund if using it on athletes triggered any kind of push for reform.

I was thinking something along those lines. Maybe one foot got caught on rail and then flipped over.

He looked like he had flipped completely over and was going to landed feet first and maybe shatter his legs, but his foot caught or even pushed off on lower level and flipped him again to land on head and neck (or maybe someone there tried to grab his foot or lower leg and caused his rotation).

It think it was less getting swept under the rug as much as it was initially exaggerated in reporting to include trafficking allegations as trafficking was used as justification to place cameras inside the parlor using a fake bomb threat which the video obtained was later ruled to be a constitutional violation.

re: What's up with this dumpster fire over at St. George Fire Department?

About 7 guys who are disgruntled idiots doing BRFD and Together Baton Rouge Work are trying their best to disrupt the new City of St. George. They formed a union no one had heard about 4 years ago, gave garret graves an award and then went after Dustin Yates and then targeted a few council seats. They are the highest paid firefighters in Louisiana. Everyone in St. George loves the fire department and hates these idiots.

Are they actually becoming a municipal service just for the city of StG? thought it was an existing fire district within East Baton Rouge parish long before the city existed to allow for different taxes and specific increased services. I didn’t think it actually exactly matched the city’s boundaries.

EDIT:
I just found the below audit info from 2023 which also explains why it was audited separately and outside of the metro parish govt. Metro appoints board members. Its boundaries are different than the city of St George and has been around for a long time. It also seems to still cover areas the city of BR annexed in response to attempts to incorporate. Not sure why its issues seem to be getting intermingled with the city of St George.

As of and for the Year ended September 30, 2023
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. On December 31, 1993, the Metropolitan Council of the City of Baton Rouge and Parish of East Baton Rouge (City/Parish) created the Advisory Board as a Board of Commissioners that governs the St. George Fire Protection District (the District) pursuant to Louisiana Revised Statutes 40:1491-1508 effective January 1, 1994. Article VI, Sections 15 and 19 of the Louisiana Constitution of 1974, authorized the Metropolitan Council to appoint 5 members to the Board of Commissions.

The District provides emergency services to a 84 square mile area of East Baton Rouge Parish. The District is located in the southern portion of East Baton Rouge Parish. It includes East Baton Rouge Parish outside of the city limits of Baton Rouge with the parish line being the boundary on the eastern, western and southern ends and Harrell's Ferry Road being the northern boundary.

The District presently has eight stations to provide fire protection within their district. The District has 199 employees.

…Although the Metropolitan Council appoints the members of the Board of Commissions, the District did not meet the remaining criteria to be considered a component unit of the City/Parish.

re: Disney’s ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ Revival Features Non-Binary Character

Posted by dallastigers on 4/29/25 at 5:50 pm

non-binary = either autistic or an attention whoring “they”.

They feel different during adolescence like everyone else and don’t have stereotypical interests of their biological sex which used to be a hallmark of feminism until 2017, so they have been told since the great pussy hat march of 2017 upset trans’ feelings that this feeling different means they are a trans/non-binary. They then choose “they” to get the extra attention they crave which includes the ability to play a huge victim when someone doesn’t use correct pronouns.

Scariest part about the left’s indoctrination goals with alphabets is they safe pushing things of a sexual nature along treatments stopping normal adolescence to developing brains that will not be as likely to just grow out of it had the kid gone goth or whatever else kids used to do to be different and stand out before this coordinated trans/non-binary push by the left, big tech, Hollywood, and old media conglomerates.

Every motivation for an actor has sex built in there to various degrees, and even as what is allowed on tv is expanded actors always feel like sex is going to be more restricted and therefore restrict their ability to express themselves.

Biggest narcissists on the planet who live in a bubble looking down on those they feel aren’t as enlightened as them.

Though it’s is surprising this isn’t being led by Dems hoping to redistribute wealth to black athletes (and Dems might still be supporting these but I have looked at vote) this is a little misleading as it’s being done by the states, and Arkansas has had Republican governors for awhile and Rs seem to dominate the legislative branch as well.

Remarkable Place to Die takes place in Queenstown right next to the Remarkable mountains which seems like a beautiful place to visit.

Rarely does a channel have enough new content to keep it 12 months out of the year. I drop channels and add them continuously throughout the year. It also lets series’ episodes build up in the ones I drop before adding it back.

Britbox and Acorn have some good series to subscribe after allowing some episodes in different series to build up, but if you have never subscribed to them or it’s been a long time there are a lot of good ones.

Had a few lines, but it was probably the worst episode of the series. I got bored. The wacking monkey wasn’t nearly as funny as on Silicone Valley with the robot armed monkey. This was in part due to the lackluster reaction of everyone else which was not very funny. I am not sure who Jonathan Watson is, but the energy and direction has been off in the past 2 episodes which he directed. The actors seem to be tired and bored. Goggins didn’t seem overly into it as well this episode, and he has been the only consistently funny part of this season until tonight.

Hopefully McBride or Hill directs the last episode.

I guessing something extra will come up with Sean William Scott’s character next episode, but he mostly been asleep as well and could use some of Baby Billy’s 8 ball.

re: AR Gov. Huckabee Sanders signs bill into law exempting NIL dollars from state income taxes

Posted by dallastigers on 4/27/25 at 6:12 pm

This is such a trashy move by Sanders and anyone voting for it.

The NIL they are being paid isn’t true NIL but is pay to play. For most part their NIL isn’t worth nearly as much as schools are paying them to play sports.

I will not be able to support any Republican who votes to give spoiled college athletes a better tax rate for inflated earnings than their residents actually working to support families and their real students working to help put themselves through college get.

EDIT: To double down they are hiding from the tax payers what the state will be paying these professional athletes using tax payer money.

Pedro must really hate the UK now that their Supreme Court has taken basically the same view of JK Rowling on women.

Pedro is weird guy and a narcissist that stands out amongst all the weirdness and narcissism in Hollywood. I have always assumed he was actually gay. He doesn’t seem to have much respect for real women especially when they have different opinions than he has on anything.
