New Orleans is a comfortable metropolis which has a certain apathy and stagnation which I find inoffensive. -I.J. Riley

I was sitting on a dock on Smith Mountain Lake 6 beers deep taking in the calm evening after jet skiing all day when one of my little fucking runt magat cousins staring at her phone exclaims “oh my god momma they shot trump”……I’m not sure I’ve been happier since that moment when I thought he was dead for 5 minutes.

Wait until next year when the #1 class gets here.

There was no "dangit" icon, so I went with the next best thing. I'm in Round Rock and you're a bit too far for me to stop by and help out, sorry.

Was at the Nuggs game. Man it was good to see playoff Murray make an appearance. Russ had more ups than downs. MPJ hitting 3’s. AG playing with good spacing and presence inside. CB had a great 3 just before the 3rd followed by a hustle play to stop an easy basket. Jokic got a triple double and still seemed like the most non factor I’ve seen him in the playoffs. True team effort. Did the “Harden sucks” chant come through on tv?

Yeah, not that difficult to imagine how the rest of that would've gone. Trump is an impossible interview because he doesn't live in reality, believes he can shape reality (and actually does for millions of people all around us), and has exactly zero decency, self-awareness or capacity for shame.

He really is in his own class of stupid. Wharton should lose its accreditation just because of Trump. He obviously bought his degree with daddy's money. By the way, how the fuck is a skull a 3?
-
There is no data to suggest that this is true. Biden beat Trump handily. Trump won by getting 77 million votes ---- roughly 22% of the population of the U.S.

When that trailer started I was sure it was going to be. Movie about a school shooting.

They will go as far as Jamal takes them. Playoff Jamal showed up tonight.

2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀

People also said the Jordan Poole contract was untradeable, and look what happened there. A mediocre small market team may want to jump on him for 2 seasons and see what they can get. Maybe an Orlando, NOLA, Detroit, Brooklyn, Sac, Washington, Portland, Atlanta, etc wants him. There are a lot of dumb GMs out there that might take him and consider him valuable. Guard targets to me would be Trae Young, Dejonte Murray, Cam Johnson, Lamelo Ball or TJ McConnell. There are a lot of big names that could become available if things go south for some teams, but who knows at this point. Trading for Jokic and making him run the offense would be ideal, but that's a pipe dream. -
What if he’s only using the ladle rectally?

living through the last 28ish years in this town, i think i might can add some perspective to this post. i also worked for the us census in 2010, so i'm hoping to add some further insight. when i came to town, we had drag worms. some drag worms were homeless, and some were westlake goth kids. i'm not lying. looking back, i'm not a fan of the nomenclature, but that's what it was. i remember in the late 90s, here in school, there was a bunch of folks selling roses in the south of the river area. i dated a girl down there, and we always went to the movies down off stassney. we always joked that there had to be a "rose king or queen" because they were on every corner selling roses. now i feel like the equivalency is the jesus people selling fuck if i know at every south austin intersection, but it all feels similar. anyways, austin has always been friendly to homeless folks, mostly because the ethos of this town used to be "i'm about to be homeless unless i achieve this dream." this used to be a homeless person couch-surfing town. i remember being told that when i graduated in 2000, if i didn't leave for houston or dallas or somehwere else, i would be chronically underemployed here in austin. problem is, i met a girl in austin, and i had a ton of mostly younger friends in austin, and i had a liberal arts degree in 2000 when the job market was...eh....i stuck around. then i met a girl from here, and she had deep hispanic roots here, so that's sort of that, so i stayed. as a result of that, and of a real love for the undercity in a city, i've always kept an eye on counter-culture, graffiti, homeless, and other sorts of lovely austin weirdness. so, aside from a year in japan that was once well-documented, i've pretty much lived here since the mid-90s. i love this town, and what i love most is the goddamn friendliness. even most of the homeless, compared to other cities all over the globe, are pretty goddamn friendly. so i've never really understood the animosity, aside from it being a pretty white-bread provincial town (west of 35 and north of ben white at least) toward the homeless, as compared to what i've experienced globally. a lot of that to say, i was unemployed in 2010. the federal government was hiring for the census, which looked interesting, and paid fucking well. our first assignments were to locate, confirm, and prepare to count the homeless in austin. this would determine federal funding for services on a per person basis. this meant engagement, understanding of the local homeless community, where they actually lived, because homeless people aren't usually actually homeless, and a plan to count the local population. since i don't know how this happened, i cannot assign any sense of blame, but the dictate to count the homeless came down to this: one night, starting midnight, after engagement with local advocates, police, city leadership, etc, the census did this: 1) count occupied homeless shelter beds. give those people free census t-shirts. 2) send us out, starting from 10pm, to known camps. our jobs, with flouro vests, was to walk into known occupied homeless areas and try to count them by audio (you know, asking them questions, which they are so fucking keen to answer from someone from the government) or by visual after dark. the census requires a certain number of criteria to count a person. as i recall it was 3. i could be any 3 of 7 or something, to include, name, gender, race, blahblah, but if as an enumerator, you got 3, you win. but it all had to be volunteered. until we got to the homeless where i got real fucking practical and weird. if i went door to door and asked questions, i needed 3 things, and that's a W. with the homeless, we needed like 2 real things. 1 - is that a person? and 2) can you determine gender, race, or something about this person? yup. why? because the fucking plan was to count them from 12am to 6am while they were passed out. not in the homeless shelters. that was the easy work. i got the assignment of travelling around known homeless encampments and asking questions, or trying to count comatose people in parks, or asking people to control their dogs, or finding entire communitites of people in the city of austin (and i mean 50+) in areas where you'd never. anyways, there was a big local controversy about the idea of government employees shining flashlights into homeless folks eyes in the most vulnerable part of the night; people got fired, fucking apd ran everyone they knew in camps through local jails, and the homeless didn't get properly counted that night. tl;dr: sorry, but they are going to be here, whether or not you like it. where you want them?

Saw it tonight and I know almost nothing about the game but it had some pretty funny parts. Kids kept ing some shit about chicken or something and they all thought it was the funniest thing ever

you’re also like 19.

Yes, I hiked the Washington portion of the PCT north to south. Ended in Cascade Locks.

I saw The Alarm at The Bronco Bowl back before the lead singer left the band, I guess. Dying at 66 is pretty young. Full Disclosure: •I didn’t know any of the band members names. •I thought that they were from Ireland, not Wales. •I only knew their one album (“Spirit of ‘76”?) that came out mid ‘80s ish. •We didn’t have cable, so I only saw some MTV at friends’ houses, so I didn’t know their faces.

That story made me laugh only because that is exactly how things work out here. The Ryan brothers are national treasures. Somebody has to pick up the slack and attempt to fill the role of The Old Pirate in college football.

Riveting TV. Absolutely love it. As with anything, you can find stuff to nitpick, but the tension and significance to almost every line of dialogue is incredible. The Ghorman heist was doomed from the outset, but once Cassian left I thought for sure both Vel and Sinta were done for. A little convenient, but still nice for Bix to get some satisfaction killing the torture doctor (Gorst?). Have to assume she isn’t surviving this series. She might just OD on the sleeping meds.

1) Let Ange stick around one more year - hear me out, we're not winning anything next year while more than half of our roster is still 3-7 years before they're prime. This team is set up to win in 2028, not 2025. So, honestly, not really wasting much of anything other than our time next year. 2) Sack him at the end of the season. Or at Christmas/New Year's and let Mason cover the interim. Or whatever. 3) Sit back and enjoy the 2026 World Cup. 4) Hire Mauricio Pochettino. Profit. What a state we're in when I think this actually sounds reasonable...
