  1. Yeah, that's the whole fucking point. ABC bent the knee over $$$.
  2. I feel like I should be wearing tin foil, but this latest incident in which ABC capitulated to Nextstar's threats regarding Jimmy Kimmel's comments about Charlie Kirk's death seems too much. I think Americans need to step up and say enough is enough. You don't want to lose Nextstar? OK, you lose us. We're not watching ABC. I have no idea how such a boycott could be implemented but it is beyond time for Americans to push back on these corporate bully tactics at the highest level. They are only concerned with the bottom line, and have no regard for what used to be at least some level of journalistic integrity. Fight fire with fire -- I don't know what the numbers would have to be, but (in this case) if viewership were to plummet by some level similar to Nextstar's subscriber base, well that would say something. I just don't know how it might happen. But, we put a fucking man on the moon. I don't know, thoughts? And please, stifle the "it's over" bullshit. To quote General McAuliffe . . . "nuts".
  3. What the ever loving fuck? It is a shame you simp.
  4. The first time I saw Slaid he was doing a solo gig at the Waterloo Ice House on 38th & Medical Parkway. He was new to town having come from Maine. He was unspectacular, very raw, but there was something there. Maybe a half dozen years later "Broke Down" came out and everyone exclaimed in unison "holy shit". One of the best records ever to come out of Austin.
  5. I have a fully functioning moral compass, so not only am I unfit for a job in this administration, but I simply cannot wrap my head around how utterly feckless one must be to evade Swalwell's question as Patel just did. I mean, have some fucking pride, man.
  6. "Prison". LMAO. I won't be surprised to learn she was given a furlough to Playa del Carmen.
  7. Wish I could help, but it's been a minute over 4 decades. The girls like to have fun, though.
  8. I wonder if that guy was born a shithead or if it was learned behavior? He sure can write a song.
  9. The drugs were worth more than the airplane.
  10. "Mason dumbass line" LOL
  11. Kamala's guys have some time on their hands.
  12. Bill Hicks would have made an outstanding President.
  13. AIEOU or something. Might be better than the last album.
  14. Has he been fired yet? Yadier still available.

  16. Where did this "Charlie was wearing body armor and the bullet ricocheted up into his neck" theory come from, and ultimately why would it matter?
  17. I'm not sure what qualifies as "south Austin" but I like Hecho En Mexico and Habanero Cafe, among others.
  18. Yeah, well I'm not getting on some shitty airplane. I do love that it's Los Lobos in that scene.
  19. You are a really awful human being.
  20. That's a great story. I assume somewhere near central Austin given the age?
  21. Yup, most Taylors I've played aren't very heavy handed in the lower register, a little dry sounding, not super bright either. They record great.
  22. What are some recs for good downtown restaurants? Any style.
  23. That might be my favorite film of his. Such an even pace, and while I imagine it would be difficult to screw up that scenery, he really nailed it. It's just a beautiful film.
  24. RIP to one of the all time greats. I imagine he and Paul are tearing it up somewhere. Two things I didn't know until today: * Redford was on a baseball scholarship at UC-Boulder but lost it because of his drinking * his Mom was from Austin and so they spent a lot of time here when he was growing up.
