  1. yes! Texas State Railroad https://texasstaterailroad.net/ my dad actually worked there for a bit when he first retired (he was an engineer and conductor by trade). there's a photo of him in a Texas Highways magazine feature about the park 🙂
  2. MTG is a true believer, i've always said that made her the same vile species but a different breed from Boebert, Gaetz, Graham, etc.
  3. crosspost from inflation thread...Costco sticker shock for the first time i can even remember 😳 and not like 'holy shit i can't believe i bought all this crap' shock we all get there. no clothing, 1/3 of our normal meat purchase, one OTC pharmacy item, then just standard household, produce, coffee, dairy, etc. nothing at all extravagant and we stuck to our normal list. we double checked the receipt ourselves before leaving. fun.
  4. yep... i'm hoping when they fire him he goes on to better/ higher things. he's def talented enough and i've not seen him pull a punch yet, his moderation of one of Boebert's debates was great. how he got picked to moderate a republican primary i can't guess lol plus his wardrobe is fantastic! 😆
  5. my man Kyle Clark speaking truth https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1B7QcGz5vD/ im expecting him to get fired within a year
  6. so for the first time i can actually remember, at least 10 years...CostCo receipt was a legit shock 😳 i mean we've all spent hundreds more than intended there... but you're not actually surprised at the total. no clothes, 1/3 of our normal meat (one big chuck roast and some frozen fish), minimal pharmacy product, everything else was just our standard stuff - produce, coffee, dairy, etc. was enough that we went over the receipt ourselves before leaving. wow.
  7. no...Aldine isd, mid 70s... maybe i am misremembering...
  8. my dad referred multiple times to the scary and freaky attendees at the Metallica concert we took him to this summer. me, finally: dad, just who do you think WE are? you look like everybody else here! him, after a pause: well i live a pretty sheltered life you know! i mean i've visited Palestine my entire life, you wanna talk about freaks, go to Kroger! even my maga aunt in Tyler is like 'those Palestine people are... different'.
  9. genX here... am i crazy or do i remember reciting the Lord's Prayer after the pledge of allegiance every morning in first and second grade in Houston? 🤔
  10. lotta fancy words to say people are fucking hypocrites with no actual principles
  11. yep, vaporize me at the start. cannibalism sucks, for both sides!
  12. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5470828-fbi-data-violent-crime-cities/ Jackson, Birmingham, St. Louis, Memphis, Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland, Louisville, Indianapolis, Oakland
  13. Colorado over here like
  14. half of the top 10 worst cities are in red states. Chicago is consistently like, what, 29, 30?? it's absolutely amazing what propaganda does to people's ability to understand objective numbers 😐
  15. we have a trip to Chicago planned in October OMG AM I GOING TO DIE??? 😲
  16. Temu Pretty in Pink
