  1. On this day in Gettysburg 1863, General Meade famously yelled to General Lee "shut up and send me more pigs to kill" prior to Pickett's charge.
  2. so many great shows, but I go back to shows from high school. The Police at South Park Meadows 1983. Prince Purple Rain at FEC. Joe King Carrasco & The Crowns was the first time I got drunk, so that's personal. The Kinks at City Coliseum feb 1985 was awesome and afterwards got laid for the first time. Elvis Costello when he got back with the Attractions 1994 tour at the Backyard in the rain. Love shows in the rain.
  3. I always have a few boxes of something. Discovered HEB has an "artisan" line of cereals that don't suck. Morning Sunshine was so good, I have tried others. https://www.heb.com/product-detail/h-e-b-select-ingredients-cerealology-morning-sunshine/2102944 Do you dig cereal? Recommendations?
  4. I remember a little financial crisis that cost 8 million jobs and trillions of dollars, but I see your point.
  5. According to the sources, three armed gunmen arrived at the entrance of the prison demanding Faid’s release to create a diversion.

  7. As a summer job college intern 30 years ago, I met and began working at a startup with a salesman named Lee. My mentor. I would work with him twice more over the years at different startups. He died last week and I drove to San Antonio today for his memorial to mourn with his family and fellow salesmen who came out to honor one of our own. Long Live The Salesman

  9. June 22nd in 1951, British spies flee to USSR with our nukular secrets. https://blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/blog/burgess-maclean-revelations/ https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1951/jun/11/foreign-service-missing-officials#S5CV0488P0_19510611_HOC_287 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Maclean_(spy)
  10. According to the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act, local governments may not restrict or prohibit “the sale or use of a container or package.” The Laredo Merchants Association and other opponents of the local bans argued that the city’s ordinance violated this state law. Ultimately, the argument boiled down to whether a plastic bag can be considered a “container or package.” Attorneys with the city of Laredo argued that the law applied only to waste, not in the case of prohibiting bags before they become trash.
  11. Rob Henneke of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, an influential conservative think tank in Austin, said the ruling had “everything to do with reining in lawless city governments” and “reaffirms the ancient principle that City’s [sic] may not pursue their policy goals by any means necessary.” Attorney General Ken Paxton said the ruling “sends the unambiguous message to all local jurisdictions in Texas that they do not get to simply ignore laws they don’t agree with.” It isn't about the plastic bags. It's the principle.

  14. As a lazy bastard, I have a couple of bags that are rated to hold 50 lbs each. I make one trip from the car to the kitchen. Remember taking more than one trip to carry in groceries? yeah, fuck that. Shitty plastic bags are shitty.
  15. Conservatives want judges that create more big brother. They're not happy with Roberts siding with libruls.
