  1. House Park is lowkey one of the best stadiums in the world, given the setting and location. I've told this story before, but when I was in HS at Westlake in the late 80s early 90s, about half of the Westlake Parents and Grandparents were Austin High grads. Everybody went to church together all across Austin and the Westbank. A bunch of the players were kids of Darrell Royal era Longhorn teams. The Austin High/Westlake game at House Park was just this amazing opportunity for everyone to have a mini family reunion in the parking lot and sideline, late in the year after the heat had broken so it was actually pleasant to be outside. Getting a seating at El Patio pre game was on Par with UT gamedays.

    It’s got a pretty cool soundtrack with bands like Mudhoney. My guess is the music rights are a fucking disaster because they weren’t permanent when the movie was made, and it’s just not possible to get them squared away to stream for what it would cost.

    This was written by Weselyan Grads who graduated a few years ahead of me. To describe this as a comical but realistic expression of my time at Bates would be accurate. I played Ultimate with guys that looked exactly like half the cast. I even saw George Clinton at Colby.
  4. This is my take, although I have a soft spot for Alien 3 because it’s David Fincher’s first flick even if he disowned it, and Charles Dutton goes damn hard. Romulus has got the atmospheric’s in spades and some excellent jump scares/oh shit moments. They did a Good job of turning the creepy HR Giger factor to 11. Glad I saw it in the theater instead of Deadpool. This movie deserves a cinematography nomination for sure.
  5. There is zero chance this Supreme Court allows a tax on Unrealized Capitol gains. They’ll accept the argument the 16th Amendment doesn’t provide sufficient coverage.
  6. This is sorta how I imagine the night shift this morning:
  7. He’s a god damn deep cut for me. As a swamp dweller.
  8. Jesus Fuck. Nothing says I’m with it and ready to take the helm like……….:.Leon Panetta.
  9. They don't play baseball because they are insightful wise people. They play baseball because they have 20/10 vision and can throw a ball hard. Mental horsepower is not really a requirement, or frankly, even a useful item.
  10. Just a sidenote: As an Eastern Time person, God-F*cking-Forbid anyone on the West Coast be forced to turn on a live TV event before 7 PM. The highlights of Biden's speech are great, but good lord, it's like the NCAA championships in starting way too fucking late.
  11. How you going to make it without Bob Barker?
  12. When people talk about a dark jedi/illuminati pulling all the strings in this country, Nancy Pelosi is likely as close as you will get.
  13. Fun Fact: Every GOP President since the end of WW2 has had a recession start on their watch. Every. Single. One. Only Truman and Carter had recessions begin during their terms. Eisenhower had 3!
  14. Yo. "Real Americans" don't take industrial butcher jobs. Last 50 years of corporate agriculture and race to the bottom, unregulated late stage Capitalism out front shoulda told ya.
  15. This is part of the reason why Democrat fortunes have revived in Michigan and Wisconsin: Conservative Snowbirds retiring to FL. Unfortunately it's happening in NC as well.
  16. Este. Do not repeat the mistakes of the 2016 Clinton Campaign. I remember going up to knock doors in PA in late October and the local coordinated campaigns were like "We've been screaming for resources for months while they open another office in NC"
  17. Look, as somebody who just spent two wonderful weeks in Europe, and is as prone to anyone to criticizing my country: I love America. I don't know who here wrote it a week or two ago: we often fail to live up to the American Dream, and yet we keep on striving and hoping and achieving. Every time I come home from international travel, I feel like my American heart grows a little more with pride and wonder. This country fucks.
  18. I suspect that's what John Robert's keeps telling the hard conservative 3: At somepoint, a Democratic president is going to tell the court "You enforce your decision, because I won't"
  19. The new Congress is sworn in on January 3. So if the Dems win control and their is a contested election, then in theory Jefferies would become acting president. But the Presidential Succession Act is a hot mess constitutionally, so the Supreme Court could rule both the Speaker and President Pro Tempore ineligible and it would fall to.....Anthony Blinken, if he had not resigned as Secretary of State, since cabinet officials don't technically lose their job at noon on inauguration, but rather by tradition resign (in lieu of being fired).
