  1. Pay attention to that name - Vought. That’s Russ Vought, the incoming head of OMB. He’s very smart, competent, and practical. He knows how the government works and what strings to pull. He’s the policy brain of Project 2025 at Heritage and a true-believer, a self identified Christian Nationalist, and the guy I am most worried about. When the GOP manages to pull themselves together well enough to do real damage over the next four years, he will usually be at the center of it.
  2. You misspelled 30 years.
  3. It’s irrelevant because they have nobody to negotiate with at the moment. Their best friend right now is Chip Roy.
  4. You sound like you don’t pull. Drakkar Noir is catnip, my dude.
  5. Not to quote myself but: I’ve got good taste. Bill has good taste. We don’t always like the same things or agree about what’s important. Both perspectives are valid and there’s no “right” answer about age or distillery or distilling method or anything else. The five things above are the full sum total of what I know to be true about bourbon, but beyond that it’s all preference. So- drink what you like, and try to build a vocabulary to describe it, and an understanding of what contributes to those things. That will take you where you need to go. Don’t chase bottles simply because they are in high demand unless that’s fun for you, and don’t overpay unless you enjoy the flex. There’s never been more good bourbon than there is today. Enjoy.
  6. Yes
  7. Agree with this one 100%. The debt is unconscionably high, but the debt ceiling is the worst possible way to manage it. It served no function but to present catastrophic risk to the dollar, and by extension to the global economy.
  8. The same thing we do every night, Pinky. … Interesting… so if farmers can’t buy seed and fertilizer or commit to hire seasonal labor, what happens to food prices next fall/summer?
  9. Come off it. That (the post WWII rules based international order) was at stake 2017, not now. It was worth protecting in my opinion but that’s all over but the crying. That hasn’t been at issue in years. This world of 2024 is the world you wanted. It’s Bartertown now. I didn’t want this, but in a way I’ve been waiting my whole life for it, and I guess I don’t understand why you seem so bitter. You won! What’s with the attitude?
  10. Clemson is the Auburn of NC States.
  11. Depends on the airport and time of day. In Austin regular Pre-check is often faster than clear+precheck because of the bad configuration of the security checkpoint and the generally oversubscribed nature of the facility.
  12. I don’t take roofing lessons from no lawdog
  13. Thread, in which chin-deficient Canadian dildo soloist Gavin McInnis gets the attention of menswear blogger Derek Guy.
  14. I’m not an expert like @atxroofer but a shingle is about a foot wide, which would make that cat around 4’ long nose to the base of the tail, which is the size of a subadult cougar or an absolutely monstrous bobcat. Man even the small houses up there have huge rooflines, like novelty foam cowboy hats.
  15. Ok, but let’s be real. Major Applewhite was much better than Chris Simms. Anybody could see it.
  16. The home of a girl I knew in Garland in the mid 80’s backed up to property owned by a trashy divorced man with money who drove a corvette and owned a tiger. IIRC she got pregnant when she was 16-17. Nice girl. Not shy.
  17. Your neighbor had a Komondor guarding their goats? Those things are seriously badass livestock guards.
  18. Spend an hour with many of our activist groups and partisan clubs or sit in the chambers and listen to the cross-talk during a contentious zoning case, and you’ll come away with the distinct impression that this council is better than we deserve. Not joking.
  19. If you want a good council, double the salary. If you want a really good one, quadruple it. It’s a terrible job and most of the qualified, dynamic leaders in our city want nothing to do with it. We treat our council members like shit, subject them to endless interactions with the most selfish, myopic and annoying people in the city, and we don’t pay them enough to live comfortably. The most shocking thing about our city council is that it’s not much, much worse.
  20. I thought so too but supposedly it was a puma and the tail was just curled towards the camera. Pretty cool either way.
