    If they don’t like “The Eyes of Texas”, just wait until they find out the history of the state flag…

    Are you referring to the Red/White flag of the Republic of Fredonia?   Stretching that to be racist when it was a joint effort by whites and Native Americans.  Maybe there's something else I've forgotten?

    She should be stripped of her degree.  That is up there for the most aggy thing I've heard in a while. 

    Agreed.

    I have a cousin who is a Princeton PhD molecular biologist….she has called most events in the pandemic accurately all the way through, including timing of expected case spikes etc. She strongly urged all of us to get an mRNA vaccine as soon as we could.

    Yeah, Princeton smarter than aggy. Shocker.

    No doubt about that one.

    You know, part of me feels "fuck around/find out", but that is so fucked.  The parents probably blindly believed their daughter was smart about such matters.  And paid with their lives.

    Her parents were way north of 70, good friends of my mom and dad.  Simple cotton farmers who absolutely listened to a daughter they reasonably thought would know what she was talking about.   If she or her Bama trumper husband had died, I would definitely respond with "fuck around/find out".  Her parents' deaths break my heart though.  And this shit is going on all over the country with elderly folks listening to their dumbass kids.

  3. I love the mental health resource fair idea.  You sound like a great father.  Keep up the great work - it makes a difference!

    We lost my niece last December (different circumstances), and my sister has responded in similar fashion by channeling her grief into helping others.  She has a bill being introduced to Congress this month that she has busted her ass to get sponsored.

  4. A woman I went to high school with is a molecular biologist with a PhD.  She convinced her parents they shouldn't get vaccinated.  Covid killed both of them.  Of all the terrible stories from the last couple of years, that one pisses me off the most.  Yes, she's aggy.

    Or a decent amount of money.  If you have a steady hand and pay attention to detail, understand human anatomy (where major arteries are, etc.) and are willing to travel, there's a small, but lucrative market of customers willing to pay you to shoot them and make it look like they were robbed/assaulted/almost murdered/etc.

    You seem to know a lot about this.

  6. I remember the story of the wife and son being shot.   Seemed likely it was someone connected to the girl killed in the boat accident in the first event, although never proved right?  

    Wasn't the dad a DA at one point?  If so, suspect list could be quite long.   Even if not, a generationally rich southern lawyer may have some shady dealings from time to time and one got out of control.

    Saw an old friend from college on a school board video testifying against masks and vaccines. Very surprising as she had a scholarship in mechanical engineering, smart as hell, and total party animal.

    I guess 20 years in leander surrounded by evangelical nitwits can change anyone.

    Don't discount the natural instinct of an engineer to assume they know more about everything than anyone else after having read a base level of information about the topic on the Internet.  It's as if the education and life experience that makes them good engineers makes them more susceptible to manipulation regarding every other topic.  QAnon, Texags, and anti-vaxers count many engineers among their ranks.  They're a natural fit.

    Leander Evangelical influence probably didn't help.  Lots of crossover behavior between the two groups.

    Jesus Christ, the loud minority of sexually repressed weirdos in this state just keeps getting more and more pronounced. 

    Were you around Texas for the 20th century?  The sexually repressed weirdos were the majority and controlled everything.  We're only just now able to buy beer and wine before noon on Sundays.  We've got a long way to go, but but the Baptists racist, sexually repressed, intolerant, backwards, closeted, stick up their ass pieces of shit are way less influential now that they used to be. Praise the Lord.

  9. Got my Texas Cares results this morning.   

    Moderna, second shot on March 6.   Current spike protein antibodies: 1075

    Negative on prior Covid infection. I have to admit, I was kind of hoping to have had one of those glorious asymptomatic cases and the subsequent immune boost.  We can't have everything though.

     

    I think this means I'm good for a while, right?

    There has been an appalling lack of masks.  We kept our kids out of school this year because during meet the teacher every teacher and staff went maskless.

    Looking at our Covid dashboard Mclennan County

    45% of 12+ are vaxxed. A month ago we were at 39ish %.  So slowly rising.

    1440 active cases. 29% positivity rate.

    Last week we had 2 or 3days of over 300 new cases.

    If it's not a mess it'll do until the mess gets here.

    Good luck, Post Oak.  Teachers not wearing masks definitely fall into the "fuck around and find out" category.
