  1. Thank God he’s focused on the quality of high school football. Education? Please.
  2. Why the hell would Bullock merit a lifetime achievement award? She’s nowhere near the level of a Nicholson or Streep who deserves some sort of lifetime recognition. I say this as a huge Bullock fan. I generally like her movies. And as a personal aside, I stood in line behind her at the Starbucks off 5th and Lamar in 2001, and, if consent wasn’t in the equation, I would have taken her as my wife then and there. She’s even more attractive in real life. And she smiled at me! But as an actor she doesn’t have a ton of range. She was Southern Christian Sandra in The Blind Side. Gravity? Sandra in space. Speed? Bus Driver Sandra. Not sure why any Oscar voter would give her a nod based on a lifetime of work. I really do think it was just a down year and she won by default, not because she has this great Oscar-level body of work and just happened to lose several years to other nominated actresses. And maybe a few Oscar voters have also run into her at a Starbucks.
  3. I’m sure this news means Mack thinks he’s getting the next call from Sark.
  4. I don't know what you mean by "eco chamber," but I agree with 100% of what you just said.
  5. "This. This is the face of a Putin bitch."
  6. The tears of 600 MAGA voters is just fine for an afternoon fix.
  7. Take that shit to the muffin thread.
  8. They should consider themselves lucky they only got measles.
  9. He's going all in on a Supreme Court nomination.
  10. My throbbing hemorrhoid resents that comparison.
  11. I had something similar, except we were all brought to a special room where they told us it was nap time, and I woke up with a sore butt.
  12. Pretty much: Democrats: They've fired thousands of federal workers, broken up hundreds of families with ICE raids, formed a bromance alliance with Putin, and are shutting down numerous national parks. THE OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [posted on social media]. MAGA: They've elected Joe Biden in a fair election after several federal judges, some appointed by Trump, found not a shred of evidence of fraud. LET'S STORM THE CAPITOL AND KILL PENCE AND PELOSI!!!!!!!!!!!! [actually storms Capitol].
  13. I mean, it's certainly a real possibility, and all the more reason to hasten a "shit's going down" event sooner rather than later. But my guess is that this goes into another sheepish announcement of "Whoops, my bad," and Elon goes onto another episode of fuckery.
  14. I'm convinced that if The Shawshank Redemption had been re-named The Rock, it would've swept the Oscars.
  15. I'm looking forward to Musk's response to life-tenured federal judges across the county instructing their staffs to ignore the productivity emails.
  16. To: TreatyOak From: Department of Surly Efficiency RE: What did you do last week? Please reply to this post with approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and cc immamac. Please do not send any classified information, links, or attachments. Deadline is this Monday at 11:25pmEST.
  17. Daughter is away at college and has had a persistent cough for about 6 weeks. It doesn't affect her energy level. She says she can still workout and stay on top of her classes and homework just fine. She finally went to the university health center last week, and they think it's viral bronchitis that she just needs to work through, though they asked her to come back in a week if it hasn't gotten any better. They didn't test for anything. My eighth-grader had something similar over winter break, mainly a nagging cough that lasted at least a month before it was finally gone, but like his sister, didn't affect his energy. His doctor did test him for pneumonia and strep, and it came back negative, and they thought it was just a virus. Anyone have similar experience recently?
  18. Clearly you've never been in the narcotics marketing and sales industry, where you face significant payment pressures up the supply chain.
  19. Maybe Abbott should commit a crime to raise his profile and get more votes. Something heinous, like parking in a non-handicapped space.
  20. Yeah, my wife asked me to get some more starter logs from HEB yesterday, and I decided not to as my way of willing us past our winter weather.
  21. Well, he is a mean cook.
