I figured out how we're going to get rid of Austin segregation. We are going to price the poors out altogether. But as long as you have the money, you can feel free to live wherever you want. And for a short while, if you don't have the money and are already here, when your historically non-white neighborhood gets targeted you can live in harmony with the white people moving in, but that's going to lead to drastic increases in property taxes as they gentrify around you, and you are going to end up not being able to afford to stay, even if you already paid the place off. If you are renting your exit will be required even faster. That's the problem I'm seeing in Austin today. I haven't heard a good solution to that problem. There could also be racism tied in there, but TBH, most of my friends are not white but white collar, so I have a hard time gauging in Austin how much racism is a factor in just day to day life outside of the police and club bouncers who enforce dress codes to cover their racism, and I don't know how much say banks and realtors may play a part in keeping people in/out of particular areas.

COVID will mean canceled T-Day this year as well, luckily.

way to telegraph that the only thing one has to do to get your ear and get you on their side is to tell you how great you are. If I use effusive enough praise in a meeting with him, I bet I can get him to endorse ANTIFA.

If she wanted me to, I'd bang her too. She's awesome.

At once exactly what you expect and still shocking. Good lord I need November to get here quick.

Dude, I've tried that. I've also tried fact checking her forward email habit. Her reply the first few times was "You are so smart." Then she quit copying me on her forwards. She's not interested in facts, she interested in validating her feelings that Republicans are great and Democrats are out to kill everyone. She's also ignoring the fact that I've already told her that no vaccine = no Christmas, and I suspect I'm going to have to remind her of this 30 or 40 more times before I actually don't show up at Christmas. And she never gets that her attitudes and behavior are what's making me actually ok with no vaccine before Christmas. I have less and less patience for her nonsense as I get older, and less and less desire to be around her. It's sad because we used to be super close.

Remove the fully funded pension requirement and you can save billions and keep service levels as is instead of reducing service levels to save less. Dummy.

The best part is that functionally there is no difference between an absentee ballot and vote by mail. It's the same thing. Yet people like my mom buy this stupidity hook, line and sinker. Explaining it hasn't helped.

Have you taken a few months off from paying attention? That sounds like right down the fairway of how I'd expect him to answer. No hook, no slice, no sand trap.

Wait, are we talking about oleander, the very same plant that was the subject of a Forensic Files because it was used in tandem with anti-freeze to literally kill someone by poisoning, is something the mypillow guy thinks will cure covid? Death. Cult.

So far my only donation above state house is to Wendy, mainly because I find Chip Roy to be reprehensible. 10 others got my money at the state level, and they've been much more reserved in their begs. And yes, I know how to unsubscribe. I'm pointing out a problem that could potentially turn off otherwise willing voters, not complaining like an old that I have lost control of my inbox. Beto did it right in that way. Yes, I got emails from him asking for cash, but I also go emails from him telling me a story about what he was doing with the money, what his ideas were, and what he planned to do if elected. Wendy's hitting it out of the park with the money begs, but is batting .000 so far on all the rest. There should be a balance that all of these fundraisers attempt to achieve, and I think them not working towards that balance is going to hurt them in the long run. I'm hopeful someone who has the ear of candidates reads this and passes it along, because I think they are squandering an opportunity here. Meanwhile, Wendy has definitely not earned a repeat donation, but the others either have or I expect will over the course of the next month.

Gotta admit, I’m regretting a little giving money to Wendy Davis. 2 emails a day at least non stop since I did it. None of them talking about what she’ll do, all of them trying to scare me into giving more right this minute. Finally told them to slow it down today. We’ll see. The rest of my choices are way less intrusive so far.

I don’t know what yours looks like, but my penis looks nothing like a wheel.

I wouldn’t say it’s a struggle, Jesus, but always happy for a helping hand.

CNN saying that the removal of the mailboxes has been halted in the western US. No link saw it on my teevee

That’s a headline I wasn’t expecting to read today.

Yeah Dolly is pretty much what we claim being an American is all about.

Wait, just now you are seeing that? Ok

At least less American than Canadian born Cruz. Mind boggling.

Did you just come out of a time machine and forget to check the headlines?

I'm finally going to ask....how is it that accurately quoting a statistic gets you in trouble with the news media? His explanation makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Well, our close friends who aren't voting for Trump. I'm not having a single sentence of dialog about the best way to make sure your vote counts with anyone in my family. I don't want them to vote at all, so when talking to them, I'm going to pretend like an election isn't even going to happen and hope they forget about it.

Starship Troopers, along with another terrible movie, Lost in Space, were both really great movies when DVD first came out to show how much more clarity was available for digital vs. VHS. Another good movie for that, and good movie overall, was Fifth Element.

Nah it’s ok, she was drunk when she said it, so it doesn't count.

Mike Pence should never attempt to use the phrase “It’s on” unless he’s answering his wife about the lights. Good lord he has no charisma whatsoever.
