  1. Cross-posting from Elmo thread. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/06/trump-cabinet-musk-025093
  2. The cracks finally starting to form? https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/06/trump-cabinet-musk-025093
  3. I'd like to hope the Tarrant chamber of commerce GOPers will give him the Robert Morrow treatment, but I doubt that will happen.
  4. I'm not one to defend the admin in ANY way, but I read a long thread with a bunch of pilot comments. Their consensus was that this was a runway incursion by the small Challenger (who likely got a hold-in-place from the tower and kept going anyway), and the 737 pilot did exactly what he/she was trained to do and immediately lifted back up. Unless we hear otherwise, this was not likely a result of FAA staffing, etc.
  5. The White House just announced that, after many decades, the White House Correspondents' Association will no longer be in control of the presidential media pool and that the administration will now determine which journalists get access to media avails. So be prepared for a swath of actual fact-based legacy media to lose access. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/25/trump-white-house-press-pool-access-00206001
  6. Worth your time. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/02/24/musk-doge-usaid-cuts-dc/
  7. Many major media outlets are actually doing a solid job right now of doing real, actual reporting on the insane actions of the current administration. Personally, I don't want Occupy Democrats, etc. in my news feed - their framing is just as bad as Fox News in many ways but on the opposite side. And really, any attempts to launch a mainstream left-leaning network of opinion programs for a mass audience that is the exact inverse of Fox News (like Air America, and to some degree, MSNBC) have not been able to build a large, consistent audience - because most Democrats ACTUALLY WANT TO READ REAL FACT-BASED NEWS. But I do not disagree that (1) fast-shrinking local and regional media coverage due to the decline of newspapers and magazines has had a terrible effect on our country's understanding of current events, and (2) Fox News (and the right-wing ecosystem it has helped foster) has done potentially-irreparable harm to our country.
  8. Let's gooooo
  9. Hartman is the SNL GOAT for me - as multiple people have said, he elevated every skit he was involved with, either performing or writing. He was also stellar on late-night appearances, especially Letterman. The 1994 appearance at 1h18m in this vid is my favorite. I am still legitimately sad we were deprived of many more years of him doing his thing.
  10. Wasn't sure where to put this, but it seemed appropriate for this thread: Neiman Marcus is closing their flagship Downtown Dallas store after a century. https://www.dallasnews.com/business/2025/02/18/neiman-marcus-closing-downtown-dallas-store/
  11. In another thread over on TexAgs this week, a regular poster was lamenting the loss of contact with their daughter after she got into a big fight with them over politics - but really, it was because “she chose the gay lifestyle” and they were spending all their time trying to beat her over the head with scripture and pray the gay away. A few replies pushed back about unconditional love and trying to be accepting - but the majority were in agreement with the OP. The tell was how many of them also admitted to being estranged from kids or other family members - all because they were being assholes and could never admit any other non-far-right-wing viewpoint was valid.
  12. Dude, Bonnie Raitt at 75 outclassed pretty much everyone else who’s been up there tonight.
  13. I’m shocked Ms. Hill showed up on time - they must’ve told her performance time was 2 PM. But she and Wyclef killed it, so there’s that.
  14. TL;DR: After Elmo "unearthed" something that was already public record, Trump blames radical left media and demands Reuters pay back $9m, when in fact HIS 1st admin authorized this expenditure to a totally different division of Reuters (which is a massive company) to help combat disinfo.
