  1. Don’t know which is the better sign Robinson’s faith in Sark, or Sark’s faith in Robinson. Either way, seems like a sign. People better start preparing their anuses.
  2. Stupid Amazon scam called me last night every 4 minutes on the dot using a number with my phone’s first 3 digits and altering the last four. 23 calls in 90 minutes straight. Started again at 10:30 this am. 12 more times. Fuckers.
  3. How is spending more of our money to create “legalized” camping zones in places no one is going to want one going to help anyone escape homelessness? Does the plan include making panhandling illegal with a massive public PR promotion to the public expressing how handouts only harm? And we’re creating real resources to help individuals who want to renter society and beat addiction and contribute? Because that would be a first step. Surely there’s some graft money to make that work.
  4. I’m betting Commons Ford Park doesn’t make it past the first round of cuts. There isn’t a liquor store or 7-11 anywhere near there.
  5. Yep. I’m sure the Steiner Ranch people won’t have any problem with the one at Four Points either.
  6. It’s also sorta like Tweeting out your kids gave you a Greatest Dad t-shirt on father’s day. This is my surprised face. Glad you’re congratulating yourself for us all.
  7. Casar is too busy on social media self-promoting his Chronicle victory as council member of the year.
  8. Agreed. It is a policing problem. But it's also a homeless problem and dismissive of the fact that allowing, even inviting tons of mentally unstable people and drug addicts to come plant themselves in the heart of your society to prey upon your civilians, and then neutering your police force is the source of the problem. I fear that dcar is right and the genie is out of the bottle. Austin has screwed this up so bad they will never be able to clean it up.
  9. My wife (no pics) works on campus and has to park in a garage on San Gabriel. Last year, just before covid, she's standing on the corner at 24th and Guad waiting for the light when some crazy homeless guy comes down the drag muttering to himself. She eyes him all the way. He stops about twenty feet away and cold cocks some woman in the head from behind out of the clear blue. Keeps on walking. My wife stayed with this poor woman until the cops came. They basically said there wasn't shit they could do about it. He would just be out in 24 hours. So many people have stories like this. Theft. Harassment. Assault. Shit. Public urination. Destruction of property. Arson. Almost ran over a drug addled cart pusher. Burglary. Trash. Trash. Trash. And so on. And so on. Come on, Austin. Take your city back.
  10. I asked the door greeter there if the homeless were much of a problem maybe two weeks ago. Guy was like, nah, they come in for the restroom, but don’t cause problems. Sure they don’t.
  11. Man stabbed at the Academy on N. Research on Saturday. I have no evidence that the psycho perp is from one of the homeless tents under any nearby underpass, but his booking photo would suggest that. I don’t want to get stabbed when I go to Academy. Fuck the city council for ever believing this shit show was a good idea.
  12. Longhorn shirt in the stands. Did someone buy tickets through the series with high expectations?
  13. You might be right, but everything I saw when he came off the court during games seemed confrontational, argumentative, or pouty. Those aren’t coachable qualities. I wish him well, but can see him wandering in mediocrity because he’s always been told his shit didn’t stink.
  14. So utterly embarrassing. Thanks, Shaka. You miserable fraud.
  15. “Ramey has made every play for Texas “ wut?
  16. It’s just so disappointing how we abandon what we did so well early. Now we’re flat footed and looking clueless.
  17. If I remember reading correctly, when this angle option was being piloted it was in an effort to draw younger viewers and those with Madden video experience into the game. I'm neither, but I thought it was a pretty cool look.
  18. No one is “enjoy”ing this shit. We’re clearly masochistic to some degree.
