  1. just scanned it, good through 8/22. clearly they're good for just 2 weeks when scanned.
  2. lewis black first tried his hand at being a playwright. he thought he'd broken through when he made the Alley, which he described as AAA level. the play bombed, so on opening night he found himself at a bar, in houston, on open mic night, and just started riffing. the rest is history.
  3. as is the case in pretty much every city in america.
  4. maple leaf pub closed but savoir is back, now at 1344 yale
  5. My postal carriers have gotten lazy and stopped delivering flyers. Probably dump them all at one spot.
  6. 99 on the northwest side is fucked so bad with traffic they're about to expand it. < 3 miles to daikin from here
  7. every 7 and 8 in the midwest ends up in chicago in their 20s.

  11. The worst people
  12. One of the things I like about Astros radio is that they were just gushing over the play of the pitcher right there and making that play. Dave South would have just been completely silent. Damn
  13. Texas standard with an interview with the director of HBO's The Yogurt Shop Murders today (Trying to find direct link, aired about 40 minutes into the show for today) https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/today-on-texas-standard-august-6-2025/ Edit: https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/yogurt-shop-murder-docuseries-series-austin-texas-unsolved-hbo/
  14. Even though we didn't have any real immigration system at all before the 1870s we did have deportable people before the civil war. Enslaved people illegally smuggled after the deadline were deportable. And congress, in passing the 14th amendment, specifically considered whether their children would be citizens or inherit the deportable status. And of course they did not inherit the deportable status and were citizens by birth. These people always want original intent but wouldn't know it if it punched them in the mouth.
  15. "I'm a libertarian but I'm cool if a few of us get comparatively rich off of the ability to dump our waste onto the public at large without getting others' permission or giving them compensation"
  16. Texas House Republicans are holding hostage critical legislation to aid flood victims and advance property tax relief by insisting that the first thing taken up is out of state political concerns.
  17. About 3:50 is a nice touch
  18. man that's some tart cider
