  1. Shackles! for what it’s worth, I would probably support a phase out of benefits starting at about the 80th %ile for it to make much difference, but we would also need to grandfather in those who don’t have enough time to plan accordingly- roughly 20 years remaining until eligibility. the reason is that I also think SS should be converted to a pure welfare program.
  2. Oppenheimer isn’t as bad as Inception, but it’s not for lack of effort.
  3. They should have called this movie “Horse Cock Zombie”
  4. Just a touch too polished like MJ Hager, but I like the basics. Plus, after the mule died and the bank took the farm in Yantis my Grandfather grew up picking sharecropped cotton in Quitman, so this hits close to home.
  5. The truth is more simple- one of the original owners, Phil Vitek (RIP), was the Austin and Dallas Shiner distributor.
  6. Mike Lee has had quite a couple of weeks.
  7. Wordle 1,471 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  8. And look what happened! she did a good job for her district
  9. But it wasn’t about party or the other side. It’s oligarchy. Parties don’t mean anything and ideology is bullshit. Politics is about who, not what.
  10. Intense opposition within the kingmaker class of Austin politics- the clubs, David Butts and his crowd, the ANC executive committee, that one guy who calls himself “Save Our Springs” while openly advocating for sprawl, various Eastside shakedown artists, etc. The roughly ~100 people who effective chose every member of the city council from 1994-2014. That cartel relied on people not paying attention to local government and moving to November elections is how that cartel was broken.
  11. I like it. A few years ago we did this in Austin. The local Democratic machine tried to stop it because (and this argument was made out loud, in public) there was a risk that a Republican would wind up on the city council. That’s not a good reason.
  12. Let's face it, you can't Torquemada anything!

  14. Got to it late today Wordle 1,469 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  15. This 2000’s retro craze is really taking off. Girls are wearing low rise jeans with crop tops and it’s socially acceptable to call Muslims terrorists in public again.
  16. Government can make markets more or less efficient, but trying to control markets is like trying to control weather: you can try!
  17. “Except when they do or it’s Kacsmaryk” - John Roberts, probably
  18. It’s a good campaign strategy if people either believe it or don’t care.
  19. I agree with you on principle, but to be fair Mamdani promised some very silly and fantastical things.
