  1. Like the past several years, this almost 50-year-old has no fucking clue about most of these performers. I'm W1. I plan on seeing Foster the People. Saw them at ACL many years ago and it was a great show. I haven't heard stuff from them for a while, so I guess I need to check Spotify. I remember The Beaches early stuff from like 10 years ago, so I'll probably check them out. I'll be at Mannequin Pussy, just so I can tell people that I saw Mannequin Pussy. Per tradition, I'll stand about 100 yards from Asleep at the Wheel for 30 seconds or so.
  2. He's making an excuse. His wife won't let him come.
  3. It's not blue states versus red states. For the most part, it's urban versus rural. It's Austin/Houston/San Antonio/Dallas versus the large swaths of rural areas in most of the rest of Texas. It's Atlanta v. the Georgia mountains. It's Seattle versus central/eastern Washington. It's Portland/Eugene versus central/eastern Oregon. It's southern California/Bay area versus Northern California. The advantage the blue states have over Texas is that the blue urban areas outnumber the red rural areas, so Democrats control most of state government. That's the advantage of blue states, from a political perspective (setting aside weather and other factors). There are politically batshit crazy people all over blue states. You can't escape that, unless you want to live in a big city or suburb. Yes, I understand there are a lot of generalizations baked in this post. But if you're dreaming of relocating to a nice small town in Washington or Oregon, be prepared for your Republican/MAGA/white nationalist neighbors stopping by for a cup of milk.
  4. Came here for the Ryan Wingo sex tape. I am disappoint.
  5. Like dcbc said, it should be okay, but I have yet to try it myself. Word of caution though, if you're going to be using store-made chicken stock, make sure it's gluten free, because some retail brands have gluten-containing ingredients. We have a friend who has celiac, and a couple years ago saw first hand a reaction to having just a little bit of gluten. It wasn't pretty.
  6. I mean, if Biden hadn't dropped out after the assassination attempt, that forecast would have been perfectly reasonable.
  7. The first assassination attempt was probably the last good thing. It was after Biden's awful debate performance, and it seemed like the general consensus was that the event would only charge up the MAGA base and polling in Trump's favor. In fact, my thought after reading about the assassination attempt was, "well shit, it's over now."
  8. I don't know if it's one of his more popular books, but I loved Duma Key and have read it twice.
  9. Looks like a movie, and I read the producers pivoted from a theatrical release to streaming.
  10. Wife and I will be back for ULM. Maybe it'll be less populated, but we're ranked No. 1 and a chunk of fans are going to be fawning all over Arch Manning, so there might still be a good crowd.
  11. I only watched the first half of the Tennessee/NC State game, and I know the Vols ran away with the game in the 4th quarter. But that NC State team lacks speed and athleticism, and their QB is extremely average. Given how abysmal OU's offense looks, Tennessee might beat the Sooners by two scores, and I'm still not sure what that will tell us about the Vols. But we will know that OU sucks.
  12. He might be, and yes, it's sad, just like listening to the last couple U2 albums and thinking, "Damn, they just can't bring it anymore like they used to." But he can still deliver his fastball. Fairly Tale was excellent. And after reading If It Bleeds, the novella featuring Holly Gibney, I'm looking forward to Holly. I think he writes that character very well, and I thoroughly enjoyed the Mercedes trilogy.
  13. Right. I don’t recall a specific connection to vampires or the ‘Salem’s Lot story line.
  14. Give this a shot. It works well with mine, though it’s larger and holds about 4-6 thighs depending on size. The skin always comes out nice and crispy, aided by the baking soda. https://stemandspoon.com/chipotle-air-fryer-chicken-thighs-keto-gf/
  15. This page fucks. Well done, guys.
  16. This should serve notice to Billy Liucci that he needs to really step up his game, because he's about to be supplanted as the Longhorns favorite aggy.
