  1. Good thing I’m flying like 20 segments over the next 3 weeks.
  2. Here’s the video of the meeting. It’s interesting to listen to the young staffers and hard not to feel for their sadness and hurt. They seem to have bought into the bullshit and actually thought the “Heritage Foundation” was on the level.
  3. I guess. Frankly I’ve can’t think of a supply imbalance in history that has ever corrected without meeting the top of the market first. The Austin MSA is correcting in large part because of all the “luxury condos” that came on the market around the same time rates went up. My point is that we don’t need to pay developers to take risks, but to simply allow them to meet the market. Indeed two of the three important drivers of affordability erosion are income inequality and two decades of essentially free credit combined with federal tax stimulus for top earners. But, we can’t address that at the municipal level. We can only address the third major contributor, which is restrictions on housing construction in centralish Austin.
  4. They don’t think it be like it is, but it do
  5. My shirt is pink. My toes are burnt orange metallic.
  6. Wordle 1,600 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟩 🟩⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  7. My toes are done in this color
  8. Context- Sands Corp was the primary financial supporter for Huffman, who came in a distant third in the Texas Senate Special. Sands Corp’s President and COO is Miriam Adelson’s Son-in-Law, Patrick Dumont the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, who approved trading Luka Doncic.
  9. Political philosophy is horseshit at every level, but completely irrelevant at the local level.
  10. Fox News is pretty great tonight.
  11. I’m hearing that too, also about a BPC157 analog called PDA, and another peptide called TB500
  12. They also thought Jake Cacciatore was going to take it.
  13. Everyone is voting against it. I’ll be surprised if it wins more than a half dozen precincts
  14. Prop Q getting crushed, 70-30 with 2% reporting. Most of that is Wilco, but I’ve seen enough. My guess is that it settles in around 65% against.
  15. Gotta be
  16. The Fox News effect: Republicans in Kentucky are trying to vote against Mamdani
  17. I don’t t think we do, what I said was more in the spirit of addressing a lot of what I’m hearing from normie Republicans and ex-Republicans these days, which is propping up Cheney to deflect blame from Bush, the same way they give Reagan a pass for his role in paving the way for Trumpism.
  18. The “Bush was manipulated” defense holds no water for me. I’m not one of the many ex Republicans on this board and I have no nostalgia for Bush. I’m sure he’s a nice man, but everyone other than Trump was a better president and Rick Perry was a better governor. He was the president and no one else. If he was manipulated that’s on him.
  19. I will give Dick Cheney credit for this one, singular thing: after leaving office he demonstrated more personal integrity than any living male member of the Bush family. As catastrophic as the consequences of his actions have been, his was not the final say. That belonged to President Bush, who despite leading the world into calamity has enjoyed a reputational rehabilitation he does not deserve. While Bush, his brother and his nephew remained silent on the existential threat to the Republic represented by Trump and Trumpism, Cheney and his daughter rang the alarm bells. America is in terminal decline in part because of his career, but I’ll give him that much credit.
  20. The shame of it is that I like most of these players a lot. Klay is washed and Caleb Martin is not a full time NBA caliber basketball player but the rest of them are terrific supporting cast and for their own good and the franchise I’d like to see everyone older than PJ Washington traded for picks to playoff teams.
  21. Indeed. Ultimately lost home affordability is the problem that’s destroying AISD, along with everything else good about Austin. $3.50
