  1. I enjoyed it! It was clever and fun and like a cross between Blood Simple and Body Heat. The ending was a little soft for me but I loved it. Adria might be a big star. I think Twisters will really solidify Glenn.
  2. This game sucks right now. I’m INT he middle of nowhere east Texas and barely have cell service. But I get to watch this! geez I hope they make some adjustments but not sure outside of getting it into the basket what they can do.
  3. So are yall saying that the WNBA is like aggy? Caitlin is good for the sport.
  4. Manny is still in there I think because he once made a good Mole. Get in your box, Manny and make a mole. That seems to be what I see the Judges do after having watched every season. oh you’re from Africa—make an African twist on everything you make. Oh you’re from Mexico…we need a Mexican twist. the truth is Dan and Danny have been at the top a bunch and like in Buda’s winning season (it’s really not even close to the other contestants) I want a season where they just start whacking people off (just kidding) but eliminating people right away after 4-5 weeks. Fuck it just keep the top four or five and put them through rigorous challenges until the end. my only true complaint is Last Chance Kitchen: just have one winner and have that one winner appear to join the final 6. I think enjoy last chance kitchen and I think Tom loves doing it. Just have one re-entry. One. That’s it. At the end.
  5. I really want Dan to win. I think he will have a ridiculous meal. Some of the stuff he makes is next level and I loved his reaction to the fish boil. He was like fuck no. Awesomeness. Or his reaction to Manny with the porridge. why is Manny still there? I mean why? I get that the ones not in the final three are all cannon fodder as far as the show but how many times is he on the chopping block with shit food.
  6. Agreed on Manny should have been gone a long time ago. Confidence and flavors really count. Amanda needed to go when she did I was thinking she was going to do a tataki everything. I do think people panic and forget why they were chosen. I think Dan will put on an amazing final meal. I just have that feeling. the rest of the cheftestants left have a shot but I lean the most towards Dan, Danny and Laura as final 3. Like lean into what you are good at. I guess. I am enjoying this season. I feel like I learn a lot from it as far as ideas on things to make and do. Jmo.
  7. I hate seeing these. And I do try to help whenever I can but this little girl is a perfect dog. If y’all know anyone in California that can adopt her before she is euthanized tomorrow I’d be grateful. Or at least I know I did my best to try.
  8. RIP Big Red. Bill Walton was awesome.
  9. Genuinely sad. RIP. This will end up being a political football no matter how his loved ones will feel about it. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/johnny-wactor-of-general-hospital-shot-and-killed-in-downtown-los-angeles-report/amp/
  10. This ⬆️ bless his family and so very tragic. Addiction, depression, mental illness, suicide. For the lovely moment of silence as well. Tomorrow is promised to none of us but it breaks my heart that there are so many Grayson Murray’s hurting out there. My prayers and thoughts are with his loved ones. Heartbreaking man. I’m not trying to be cheesy or inappropriate by attaching the number but I know this whole tragedy can be such a trigger for so many. the moment of silence was awesome and yet it’s dusty in here I guess. ❤️❤️💕💕
  11. I love this one and the sort of cinematic music…
  12. He is playing really well today. Shame about yesterday.
  13. Oh and I also love The Man with One Red Shoe. That movie is on right now. It’s fucking hilarious.
  14. Scottie being difficult to beat may be boring for some people but I think it’s actually drawing in more viewers. Either you want to see him crush the competition like I do or people want to see him get beat. You have to have a consistently amazing number one. And he’s that. I’m sad about Jordan but maybe he should hire some of the people Scottie has around him. He’s ruined a lot of what made him unique. Sad.
  15. I loved him. We have a lot of stars the exact same age. Cloak & Dagger was one of my favorite movies as a child. I thought this was cool about him. He was a Longhorn! Hook'em Dabney and RIP. And he was Austin born. Not a transplant. Badass. "Coleman was born in Austin, Texas on January 3, 1932. He attended Virginia Military Institute, and the University of Texas at Austin. He was drafted in the United States Army in 1953 and served in Europe."
  16. My cousin and her husband and kiddos live in Johnson City. They are definitely getting a new roof/gutters. This is from the other night:
  17. Not really a fan of the Daily Fail but this guy believes he survived the Rainey Street Ripper last June. “A man who was drugged and plummeted 25ft off a bridge, narrowly missing certain drowning, believes he could have been targeted by the 'Rainey Street ripper'. Jeff Jones, 38, was on a bachelor party trip to Austin with a dozen friends from his home in Boston on June 23 last year. He woke up in hospital more than two weeks later with metal rods holding his back together and doctors found the date-rape drug GHB in his system. Jones believes he was drugged before the would-be killer pushed him off the bridge over a stream where he was supposed to drown and float away.” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13373887/Rainey-street-ripper-austin-serial-killer-ghb-survivor.html I know its the Daily Fail but they do have a fairly decent reach
  18. Just an FYI I’m back in Austin! Whoo hoo! Just in time to experience the heat wave.
  19. The Education Secretary isn’t down with what is happening across college campuses. “Education Secretary Miguel Cardona condemned what he deemed the "unacceptable" behavior of protesters on college campuses across the country. "I think what's happening on our campuses is abhorrent," Cardona told Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., at the Senate's budget requests hearing for fiscal year 2025 on Tuesday. "It's unacceptable and we're committed as a Department of Education to adhering to Title VI enforcement." https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updates/college-protests-israel-palestine-war/?id=109734946&cid=social_twitter_abcn I guess the White House isn’t down with these campus occupiers nor their bullshit either. Hmmm….🤔
  20. Thank you Troph. You said what I wanted to say. I’m not good at brevity. I’m like a shitty pitcher. It takes me forever to wind up to my point/throw the ball. People then think the opposite of what I’m trying to convey. If you look at the demonstration on the Texas State campus they are calling for their university to cut all ties with Israel. im all for the first amendment and for protesting. I walked with those downtown protesting after George Floyd. I was proud to do so. My heart is in the right place but for some reason if you question the motives of the protesters and their end game here you are in league with vomit Orange Cheeto Trump and his peeps. Or you live Gov Abbott and I do not. I’m not and never have been in their corner. But it’s a reason I stopped posting as much.especially on the DT. I’d rather go where I’m understood better on political issues. It’s not all black and white to me. anyway, good point and I guess I’ll get negged again for breathing on the DT. rather try to find a missing autistic boy on other platforms than get pummeled for seeing what these protests were from the jump. doesn’t mean I’m not interested or won’t post on football or other things. But there is this need to attack any opinion that doesn’t align with the group. And we all know mobs and groups aren’t exactly the sharpest people.
  21. Ugg she is so gross. I get people don’t necessarily like my posts on the protest bullshit but damn. Like she’s 🤮 and no way. Yuck no.
  22. “Since the Israel-Hamas war began, the U.S. Education Department has launched civil rights investigations into dozens of universities and schools in response to complaints of antisemitism or Islamophobia. Among those under investigation are many colleges facing protests, including Harvard and Columbia.” https://www.kens5.com/article/news/nation-world/israel-hamas-conflict/university-protests-israel-gaza/507-4fd0b2b4-fc48-4309-a099-690450425395 The article lists Emory, Emerson College, City College of New York, USC, Ohio State, UT, Indiana U Bloomington and so on. My question is this: what if the groups were deranged MAGA folk. Would it be ok to shut down campus. Graduation ceremonies and the like? We’ve seen what’s happened at Columbia. What if the protestors were involved in Jan 6 and sitting outside government buildings in every state and you could see earlier encampments not leaving and becoming more emboldened? So just let the protests grow to what is happening in Columbia? Why aren’t they out in front of government buildings? The government is the only entity that can change the tide of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. I don’t give a fuck if no one here likes me or cares for my opinion. In many ways it’s why I post less and less on surly (most posters probably are relieved.) I donate when I can to the World Kitchen (bc I know my money is going to help.) the whole situation in Gaza is beyond my ability to help. It doesn’t mean I don’t feel for and love those people who are suffering. I do but I’m also not foolish enough to believe that we can force Israel to do much of anything. Neg away! Still in Atlanta so The protestors are safe from me if they go strolling into the entertainment district for a cocktail after a wild day of trying to occupy campus.
