  1. I have no idea which CEOs are trans positive or trans activists, but I do know a CEO that promotes hate and gives a platform to others to spread hate and attack others. It’s not ideological purity, as you put it, to make an easy decision not to support a company that is led by a super shitty human being that constantly punches down. You claim to spend more time ignoring the hate, and in this case, I believe it since you’re completely ignoring one of the main sources of promoting hatred. There are a lot of car companies out there and it’s easy to not support the one led by a bigot.
  2. The section that I drive most is Spur 527 to Kirby-ish and it’s awful.
  3. Wow. Gotta say I’ve lost a little respect for you in this statement. You would be supporting a person who actively hates you and others like you and would prefer you don’t exist. Just driving a Tesla seems like a slap in the face to people like you, IMO.
  4. Lulz, I had to go look. Right you are. I should probably go review my previous night’s posts when I post late at night while drinking. Still cracks me up how people get so bent out of shape about a hack columnist for a shitty newspaper.
  5. It’s funny how a lot of you guys let a columnist at a shitty newspaper that nobody reads live rent free in your heads.
  6. Is Austin Butler still playing Elvis in this movie?
  7. It’s honestly shocking to me that you still own a Tesla given everything Elon stands for. How do you square supporting him financially while he foments hate?
  8. No joke, I’ve never thought of Richmond as some sort of smooth boulevard.
  9. A columnist at an irrelevant newspaper lives rent free in a lot y’all’s heads.
  10. Looked at the necklace before I read the post and thought it said Farty Dogs.
  11. Outdone by the fine politicians in Louisiana, Dan Patrick has a dad that Texas wasn’t first. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4733538-texas-lt-gov-dan-patrick-ten-commandments
  12. Would diverting funds from those ISDs to fund private schools be political suicide? Because one party is going hard in the paint with that agenda right now.
  13. If only we could do something about all these drag queens grooming the youth.
  14. Froggy has to pack their stadium somehow now that we'll never play there again. Hmmm. I have season tickets at Amon Carter and go to 3-4 games per season. I would love to know where one can find one of these $3 beers. They do have a pregame “happy hour” special one hour before kickoff and even that’s $5 IIRC.
  15. Beto did one thing... he got around Texas. I think that made a huge impact. Talking everywhere, red counties and blue. He actually listened and talked to them. I think it could work for Allred too. His football background will open a lot of doors easier than they opened for Beto. Now, getting his message across, I don't know about that. I think taking some suggestions from Beto might be a good idea. I'm sure suggestion one is to actually have a message. It could work for him. The problem is that he’s not doing it. At all. He has no message. He’s not visible. He’s not kissing hands and shaking babies. The dude is invisible. At this point in the campaign, Beto was everywhere. He was generating energy, he was meeting voters, he was holding town halls, etc. It was all getting tons of free media attention, both local and national. I follow politics more than the average bear and I’ve seen nor heard nothing from the Allred campaign since the primary and even then it was just annoying daily texts hitting me up for money. He’s been a totally disappointing candidate so far, IMO. I hope he can pull something together and make it competitive.
  16. Big improvement over Beto? Like him or not, he ran a competitive campaign against Cruz in 2018. Since then, Cruz has become even more unpopular in Texas yet he will clean Allred’s clock by a significantly wider margin. Allred is running the most milquetoast campaign I’ve ever seen. Solid D’s will still vote for him because he’s not Cruz, but he’s doing absolutely zero to excite voters on either side or down the middle. For a big rough football player, he’s taking it easy on wimpy Cruz.
  17. More Project Connect legal drama. In the meantime, Austin taxpayers continue to pay increased taxes for the little train that couldn’t. https://www.kxan.com/traffic/traffic-projects/project-connect/heres-whats-at-stake-in-project-connect-trial-beginning-monday/amp/
  18. Dude, S&X are super low volume vehicles. Like they barely sell at all and they’re more stale than week old bread. Of course there’s a backorder on the Cyberturd. It’s brand new and they took a bunch of orders for the four years it was promised. A more interesting metric would be new orders. Man, you’ve got your head so far up Elon’s asshole that you could chew his food for him.
  19. If the local small town TV news guy isn’t toeing the company line, it must have been really bad.

    I was being intentionally hyperbolic, but I wouldn’t be surprised by anything in today’s Texas.
  21. Care to share your thoughts on the Cybertruck? And, yes, I don’t like Elon and don’t think he’s a legit CEO at this point. I believe he is an existential threat to Tesla being an ongoing concern. The company is listless at best and chaotic at worst while others are catching-up. Companies lose their way all the time and I think that’s what’s happening to Tesla at this point. If and when the government teet dries up Tesla is fucked. Just as much as you make a point that I don’t like Elon (true) I can argue that your blind love of him Tesla blinds you to bright blinking red lights.
  22. Post that on the football board and you’ll get a bunch of spontaneous ejaculations.
