  1. I'm kind of perplexed at how there are literally zero appointments available in the greater Austin area to renew a minor? I mean, the county office and every post office show not a single one, and won't show past October anyway. And I hadn't realized the Travis County passport office has gone to appointment only. Has anyone gone to the Global UT one, where you just walk in? They say they only take a few each day and you should get there before they open, so sounds like a barrel of fun.
  2. First I've heard of the police funding bills. Maybe they need to be talking about it to the press.
  3. I'm not sure how clear it was to people at the time as to why she did that. Most just thought it was for shock value. The sexual abuse of kids as any sort of thing was just then beginning to become known. Hard to imagine. But of course, she was right about it all and had first-hand knowledge of the systemic abuse of the church. She really paid a price for speaking out.
  4. Can't WAIT for all the gloating from the shithead about how he's been completely "exonerated"
  5. Nice. Now give us your take on the Plight of the Coloured Man.
  6. I hate this timeline. I don't have a problem with Biden other than the fact he is way too fucking old and that in itself is a huge liability any way you cut it.
  7. meh who knows about him, but her motive is clear and everything she did afterwards shows consciousness of guilt.
  8. He is often characterized as trying to maintain the Court's legitimacy, yet he has made it his life's work, ever since clerking for Rehnquist, to dismantle voting rights. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/08/john-roberts-voting-rights-act-121222/ He is disingenuous and dangerous. Hell, he's already dismantled core tenets of our democracy vis a vis gutting the VRA and Citizens United.
  9. Barbarian. Enjoyed. If I had been Tess in that scenario, Bill Skaarsgard aka Creepy Joe Burrow would have gotten it.
  10. Thyroid cancer is almost never life-threatening, I believe? Maybe a step above non-melanoma skin cancer. This won't be a problem for the shitbag.
  11. So the appeal to the 11th circuit-- TwiceHorn, you said before this will be an abuse of discretion standard. Which concerns me. Is there no argument to be made that it should be reviewed de novo? That is, because Trump team has submitted no sworn facts as the party that petitioned for relief, the legitimacy of Cannon's stay is more in the way of a pure legal issue, rather than an application of the law to a known set of specific facts? Just a thought
  12. I don't know if Abbott had anything to do with DeSantis's stunt. But anyone seriously believe he told the DC-bound migrants, "hey families, do you guys want to hang out in front of the Vice President's home for hours with nothing to do and no food or facilities so we can all own the libs?" I have my doubts
  13. In fact ---on matters including due process, 8th amendment, and criminal law, SCOTUS has many times looked to what state legislatures have been doing as a proxy for the will of the people, which it has indicated is a relevant consideration. Now that SCOTUS itself has gutted the Voting Rights Act and refuses to review any gerrymandering, what is a proper way to gauge the will of the people? Well luckily, there's now no need to consider things other than what centuries-dead white slaveholding men thought in the 18th century. Win/win!
  14. Using human beings as props, what a Xtian that Abbott is!
  15. if you decide to go, send me a DM if you want. Female contingent not feeling great about the area with "doors open at 9:30" crap
  16. Front 242 with Paul Barker supporting --- 10/5 Clan of Xymox -- so stoked, look into them for the very many who don't know this OG Dutch dark wave band ---- 11/4 both at Elysium, Austin (womp womp Elysium, how I've known you but would love a better venue and not to be on dirty 6th in the very wee hours)
  17. yeah, anecdotal but I had to have a conversation with a Cali family on a boat tour last month in Puerto Vallarta. They saw the Texas gear my crew was wearing, and made assumptions about us. Started saying how they were looking for a vacation home in Galveston bc Cali is SO terrible, the homeless, needles etc., and why all the people leaving Cali who would still vote the way they did back home when they're leaving for something better is so stupid etc. And the dad was a hulking L.A. county deputy who made a point to mention his firearms and had sinister tatts all over his body, including his knuckles. Mom lamented that prices in Galveston had shot up so much the last couple of years. I tried to tell them, housing/taxes aren't low in places like that, property taxes can be insane, and they wouldn't have it.... "but but you don't have state income tax HERR DURR everything so much better there derp"
  18. what is Warnock's campaign doing besides fundraising? Is he pounding on all the many Herschel negatives? If Herschel is refusing to debate, will Warnock do a town hall with an empty chair there? Get fierce, JFC
