Exactly. And the fact it took that much to force action back then makes what’s happening now even more telling.

That's funny. I usually think up amazing ideas and lyrics for songs as I lay in bed at night and I'm always too damned lazy to get up and write them down or even dictate it into my phone. Then, naturally, by the next morning, they're gone. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And that’s what makes this so baffling. Mizzou’s leadership is acting like this exists in a vacuum. Missouri’s history as a slave state and border battleground isn’t abstract; it’s exactly why these spaces and voices matter. Ignoring that isn’t neutral, it’s willful blindness.

And this isn’t new—it’s the latest version of something Missouri has never fully resolved. This is a border state with a long history of conflict over race and identity, going back to Bleeding Kansas and the Civil War. That tension didn’t disappear, it just moved into institutions like Mizzou.

This sh*t is REALLY getting my goat and makes me not ever want to root for the Missouri Tigers ever again. // Mizzou student leaders decry cuts to Black, LGBTQ+ and Latino groups missouriindependent.com/2026/04/07/m... #mizzou #universityofmissouri #missouri #MU #mizzoutigers

Can't wait to say this myself when you die, you old, orange turd.

No, the fact that the person you're talking to is a sagitarrius does NOT "explain a lot of things." In fact, it doesn't "explain" shit. It's all made-up bullshit. #astrologyisbullshit

It's amazing to me what gets passed off as "punk" these days, something I'm learning more and more as I research music for my radio show. Like this Frank Turner shit... WTF? Seriously?

A Tennessee woman who sought to undergo sterilization surgery last week was abruptly blocked from receiving the procedure, with hospital staff informing her they decided they had a “duty to protect her sacred fertility.”

True, but you spelled it that way so many times I thought it was the actual name! I had to look it up to make sure.

I think you mean Bottomless, not Bottonless.
