Like rolling downtown and having a left exit from the freeway which means I have to cut over to the fast lane in a 30 year old pickup, while people flip me off, tailgate me and probably a host of other things I ignore. Shits dangerous and people are stone cold stupid. Sure, let's arm everybody so they can hold their own gladiator freeway games. When I feel my temperature rise, I take out the bike. It's safer for everybody, especially my wife. Right or wrong, it's one thing to have a temper, it's another to drag people around you into your fits.

Dope Lemon (Angus Stone) tix go on sale tomorrow for the 9:30 in DC. Silly name but skrong, mellow tunes. Going to try and grab a pair before they're gone. Also put in for The Prentenders.

Same stance applies to anti-vaxers.

Katie Porter, AOC, Adam Schiff, Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Ted Lieu (foreign born so can't by rules), Elizabeth Warren, Gavin Newsom--just a few off the top of my head that I wish could win the presidency. Every one of them is smarter and more honest than anybody on the Republican side--by a wide margin. Oh well, Democracy gets what it votes for unfortunately. And when we vote against our rights, they'll shrink. It's idiotic thinking Americans will use their right to bear arms to keep the government in check, but are unwilling to vote to do so. I guess they'll use their guns to set up a true Democracy where people get a say in their government? Of course not. They'll use their guns to try and install an authoritarian government. Reading all of these threads just leads to the same endgame. Trump is a litmus test. If he wins, the remains of Democracy spill down the drain. It's already draining-see SCOTUS, but the speed increases.

Love her but this is a complete joke. Glad she does this for the few smart people left, but the right neither gives a shit, nor is even embarrassed. They only care about getting paid. Supreme Court justices are taking bribes, defense spending is rife with corruption, the former president is a foreign asset--just add it to the pile.

Lisbon is a mutated cross between Paris, NYC and SF. Absolutely love that city.

Got back from Potugal two weeks ago. Finally went, after two prior cancelations: covid and wife's cancer. Should have paid more attention to this page but wanted to explore. 2 day in Colares/Sintra 1 day in Evora 3 days in Algarve (Lagos base) 2 days in Lisbon Rented a car and had a great time. Would like to travel north on another trip, but didn't want to rush things. Lots to see and do. Most everybody spoke English but my wife is a fluent Spanish speaker and went on a walking tour in every city/town visited. Great food, super affordable and recommended trip. Can go into more depth and images if anybody wants.

I love Richmond. Some parts remind me of Austin back in the day. There's about 30 breweries. The Byrd theater is a really old movie theater that on weekends begins with a black and white Loony Toons cartoon and used to Friday or Saturday nights, have an organist that rose out of the floor (used during silent movie era) and would play. Good food, especially at places like the original Mama Zu's--no signs and its in Oregon Hill, or Bottoms Up Pizza, which has an outdoor deck to watch the train rumble by. You can spend a few hours at the Virginia Museum of Art which is pretty awesome, or go to Belle Island, which has an under the bridge walkway that crosses the James River and connects to the island (beautiful), which was used during the civil war as a POW camp. Has a rock quarry pool on it that's pretty interesting and some old spillway buildings you can explore, as well as the rest of the island. Then there's another bridge that goes across the river that again, is pretty cool, a flood wall that you can walk along, or kill some time at Maymont, a great park that has otter, bison, black bear, and several other animal rehab pens, and gardens. And by pens, I mean huge enclosures where they can walk and do their thing, since they will never be released back into the wild. Then there's the parks--Hollywood Cemetery to see James Monroe, John Tyler and Jefferson Davis (yuck)--with great views of the river, frisbee golf, concerts at Brown Island or Innsbrook (saw the Strokes back in the day for $20 in a field), white water rafting on the James or gardens at Lewis Ginter. And then more food (ZZQ, Legend Brewery, Banditos, original Joe's Inn, etc), especially since it hasn't been overrun by corporate chains. And Quirk hotel is the bomb. And visit the church where Patrick Henry said Give me Liberty or Give me Death, the Edgar Allan Poe Museum, and I still haven't covered all the stuff to do.

Or just skip it and go elsewhere, since there's not much to do.

Were aggys called to some kind of covert operation during the App State game? Seems like they must have been on duty several times throughout the season.

Dave is one of those that loves playing and will play a 2-3 hour set. Some don't like this music, which is fine. But if you're going to make a night of seeing music, Dave will oblige.

L7 at BlackCat in September.

Yeah, but she's their crazy. We get to watch it all blow up and point, while laughing like hell. No sane coach would allow that feral animal around its program.

I've had white students complain in class about more scholarships and preferential enrollment treatment being given to minority students. A quick look around the class room and there are no minority students was my only response--didn't say a word. Really, this is an argument that is entirely parent based that the student coopted, but I still hear it on occasion, and it usually comes from political science majors. I would be interested to see the minority stats for students that intern on the hill--where they can afford DC rent and tuition with little to no income. I always keep politics out of class, so it's never a discussion.

Spain wins. Now that is what a choke looks like.

Laporte, you dog! Shank.

This is great, but now do the Green Party. I can't wait to read friends that feel like they're outliers for government going "Green" while enabling another Trump presidency.

Their fans are shitbags.

3-0 is an epic ass whooping. An epic embarrassment. US Men just need to keep it going and don't look back.

So, after 2024, Texas will have played Georgia the same number of times as aggy? Cool. Correction: Ok half as many times as aggy. Guess they get a home visit against UGA per Sydney's post above.

DId you run for office and were you elected? A fool, such as yourself, getting elected is pretty much living proof that the US is not a communist country. Some of us want some socialized policies but only your political brand has so far accepted communist dollars to run for office.

Thought this was a funny social media post: Yeah, I edited the ad portion, but feel free to use your own.

This series just felt like Texas was chasing every game. They scrapped to get back in and even stole the first game, but they really had to gut it out. Tonight was no different. Played from behind until some damn near paranormal shit ended it. Stanford as a team should take a knee under the lights and thank their lucky bulbs.

Probably, but I hope it's a good match. I want to believe and want Texas to keep thinking they are in every game.

The low is that it was winnable. Both teams seemed pretty evenly matched, but the home field advantage turned out to be a real thing, and not just the crowd.
