    I can’t even listen to NPR anymore because I sit there arguing with the radio anytime I hear a GOP or man on the street arguing how this is a political witch hunt or some education bill to put the Ten Commandments on walls or the bill to let preachers teach or…

    Man, you know I like and appreciate you…your legal opinions are valued, I appreciate your efforts at realistic neutrality and you absolutely helped me at a time when I was really struggling…hell I’ve said I want you with me at parties so I can pull a Billy from Moneyball where I point at you and snap my fingers like he did to Pete so I can get an instant rational take. However this part here I feel like you’re wasting your brain cells. There’s 40% of this country that will deny, attack and spew self-righteous outrage at any attempt to portray this ‘man’ as anything but sent from god himself to reign as a holy warrior. Regardless of priority I feel it’s necessary to prosecute his crimes as the case is ready. Tiptoeing around for fear of upsetting his base is how we got Jan 6. Even if both his impeachments were failures, we need them on the historical record.

    The biggest surprise is that any of you are surprised by that.

    His character in Idiocracy was awesome actually…realized he wasn’t an expert in the problem, brought in outside help, and actually followed his directive. No Fauci-esque bullshit

    This show really does sound design well, up there with Stranger Things and The Wire…though part of what I enjoyed about The Wire was that the music was almost all organic in that it came from car stereos, boomboxes, etc and not some generic music montage. Lasso does a great job with music montages. Playing prisencolinensinainciusol was an outstanding choice to convey the sense of moving the story forward in an efficient way with a driving beat that never really builds to a crescendo. Breaking Bad was another show that did this well, dusting off tier-2 hits or custom instrumentals to fast forward at an engaging pace. I love shows that have me googling during an episode to find a song I need on my playlist.

    Well we know APD won’t solve it. They couldn’t even connect the dots when the same dude kept calling in and showing up to Rockgate.

    Based on reading comments at r/conservative and elsewhere, for kicks, I’m going to add to my dictionary of terms that immediately apply a Closeted MAGAt flag: “this is going to backfire because of xyz”. Joins other such illustrious entries as “I didn’t vote for Trump but”, “both sides”, “all politicians do it”, “do your research” and “I don’t believe in conspiracies but”

    Regardless whether we get the real answer or not…can countries maybe crack down on selling wild animals at markets, especially commingled with food items? Or being sold as food? Bushmeat in general is such a vector for disease, but I can sorta sympathize if you’re Starvin Marvin…but selling ‘raccoon dogs’ or other shit, especially just because you believe it’ll make your dick hard or have magical powers, in an open market is asinine.

    No surprise on Frank Drebin’s views

    Yeah I have tried to tone down the defeatist attitude…the way football and basketball season ended don’t help me much. For baseball it sucked to see us lose the Tceh series but sweeping Baylor seems a good warm up for a surging Texas team. Glad it’s at home at least. As noted above, bullpen needs to be stronger. Baseball overall is such a weird sport, full of big momentum swings that can turn a game in a few ABs and mentality being such a large part of it. I don’t get caught up in the highs/lows as much, it’s a long season and Holliday tends to have us playing cohesively as the postseason nears and the bats seem to be working this year.

    A quick google check shows the oral one isn’t approved for use in the US, which has used the very effective shot version since 2000. Given it’s cheaper and requires fewer doses, makes sense it’s used in more impoverished regions. Key issue seems to be when it gets to spread in under-immunized populations, like that area of NY, and gets to mutate…that’s when it’s a net negative. Of course it wouldn’t be a larger scale issue if those folks woulda gotten the right, needle-delivered vaccine and it never spreads in the first place.

    The whole side street behind our house was lined with signs for that bullshit One Family group…even though 2/3rds of them send their kids to private schools. The mom in one of the families that does send their kids to RRISD is on all the extra curricular stuff…when I did Watch Dogs (dads at school for a half day), I half expected for her to hand me a bible and abstinence flyers for my sons 3rd grade class. I have zero issue with anyone who takes their religion seriously, just don’t cram it into my kids or their schools. Of course it’s the same group who crow about books, art and anything else they don’t agree with as ‘forcing wokeness’ so they can fuck right off in general.

    Yeah I didn’t get all the Leslie love either…understanding he was completely unavoidable downtown and somewhat of an icon due to the cross dressing, dude was generally disgusting. I was walking back to the Brazos garage on fifth/sixth in like 2005 when I tripped over him in an alcove, wigged out on something and drumming on a bucket. Would also yell racist shit and stumble around trying to get money…often late when I was just trying to get my death metal / Hoeks on before cabbing home.

    Wait…some of y’all didn’t like Beard After Dark? I love that episode. In a sea of bland horseshit where even The Simpsons is mostly unwatchable…I really enjoyed that episode. It was a fun bit of character development and departure from an often formulaic cast. Even when the rest of this show gets a little bland and predictable, Beard remains a highlight along with Roy and Higgins.
