  1. leaked footage from the movie, where Costello and Genovese get summoned to Salvatore Maranzano's office for a meet
  2. OOooO Deeeevraux
  3. so in this case, it sounds like the guy didn't know who he was shooting. he was having some sort of mental health crisis and fired into a crowd and hit one person, thankfully non-fatally. Adding the details that it was a pregnant lady ratchets up the hysteria and emotion around it, which of course is why it is framed as "he shot a pregnant lady", which is accurate but not representative of what happened. similarly, in kenosha, what's his face didn't go track down a pedophile child abusing i don't even know what - he went there to shoot protestors he disagreed with. I don't know if you're following the nuance at all here but it's consistent to treat these things the way the people here are treating them - it is related to context and intent rather than picking framing that allows you to emotionally justify your favorite types of cruelty.
  4. I haven’t dug a bunch into his backstory but the article I found didn’t go into detail about the shooting. If you’re trying to paint by numbers, mass death shooting event would trigger discussion about gun laws (inevitably because of the gun used) where mentally unstable vet shooting into a crowd and hitting one person in the leg sounds like “we should take care of our troops, including dealing with the massive trauma inherent to the ways that they are asked to serve “. i don’t like the guy doing gun violence but I’m not connecting that with him being brown. if the deal was military service as a path to citizenship I think we should treat him like a citizen and a veteran. But for a lot of people this is how they want to treat their neighbors and our troops.
  5. Caved and bought new pants. Feels good man.
  6. Interesting, looks like he had a somewhat heroic couple of tours, lifted a burning car off of two soldiers and caught fire in the process, dealt with mental issues and fired a gun into a crowd, did time in prison. I guess good news for people who care about pregnant women’s legs is that they’re getting rid of the brown people and presumably bolstering mental health resources at the VA. I haven’t been following, not sure.
  7. I try not to jump in on bashing Tesla the cars because whatever. I mean I'm not going to buy one, but I can separate it out a bit. But it felt crazy to me the last time I was in one how cheap everything felt.
  8. Man I’m trying to get myself into an actual book reading (not book listening while I clean at night) habit just to model that shit with the kids. Holding a book, reading quietly. No luck yet but we’ll do it.
  9. Are the Hyundai Ioniqs nice? I’ll probably keep driving my truck for another 5 years but the 6 looks cool. But Hyundai.
  10. Central Market does have the most bomb-ass pinwheels.
  11. I don’t understand why you’re both proud of your big shits but also a shy pooper ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  12. Still haven’t had a chance to play it. Now that 7 is out to complain about are people praising 6?
  13. The two songs I remember from my 7th grade cotillion dance were Jump Jive and Wail, and Men in Black. Ah, 1998. What great luck for Setzer that he got a swing revival. Also in 2008 I was on tour with my old band and we were waiting for some kind of radio interview in Chicago. The guest before us was the Cherry Poppin Daddies guy and he got all pissed because the interviewer insinuated that they had just 1 hit.
  14. I wonder if it has any effect on resistance during bends, etc? I swear I can feel the… jangliness or slinkiness or whatever of the strings not being attached to the body on my duo jet. But I’m also skeptical of all my feelings about this guitar voodoo shit. Danish Pete swears there is a difference between tele bridge pickups mounted to the body vs the pickguard. Gibson folks go on about long neck tenons while their headstock is held on with Elmer’s.
  15. I feel bad for him - that’s a guy who has dedicated his life to guitar. fuck, i was going to point out that he’s 80 years old but I guess he’s only 65. Bummer
  16. That whole episode is great. Waggu. Rog King of the Slams. ditto what someone said about Conner O’Malley, he cracks me up
  17. Patti Harrison is unhinged. Love her. Her goblin noises in the Capital Room sketch might be the best moment in the series. Lol she got kicked off of twitter years ago for switching her profile pic to Nabisco and posting this after getting verified
  18. with your stupid little hat at night you'll lie awake
  19. Ah cool, it said he played guitar for a living, I was curious with who
  20. I just love that he looks like the most Austin character of all time doing an extremely Austin thing, and he’s wearing a Sam’s Town Point trucker hat while doing it. It’s too good.
  21. My wife has no idea what Devraux is and why I randomly sing that word. I’m excited for this movie because I love Rudd and Robinson, but also it’s just great that someone is making a comedy.
  22. Is this guy here? https://www.chron.com/life/wildlife/article/austin-texas-bass-record-20158294.php because it makes me happy that this guy is out there catching giant fucking bass downtown
