  1. Looks like Dan Goldman is going to make Gym's life hell, and I'm here for it.
  2. It's fucking amazing how heavy those branches get when each limb is coated with 1/4"+ of ice. I was cutting up our downed oak this morning and was shocked at the heft when I was dragging the branches around.
  3. I'm coming to the conclusion that it may be time to give up on landscaping here in Austin. Tough to find trees / plants that can survive 110F with no rain for 4 months + ice storms + sub 20F weather for a week at a time + 70 mph windstorms in the spring. Maybe just synthetic grass the whole damn yard?
  4. Same here. Woke up to find our 35' Monterey Oak split down the middle, half completely blocking my driveway and half blocking the neighbor's driveway. Spent an hour + this morning with a chainsaw clearing a path for both of us. I guess I should be glad I don't have anything falling through the roof yet, but fuck this.
  5. Careful - if YGIFS is right, the TX GQP may take this opportunity to throw Briscoe and his sexual tendencies under the bus and conclude that this is, once again, God's punishment for the sodomists.
  6. If you read the Court Order, it states that "the photograph at issue in this case was taken in a public location, at a political candidate's campaign table ..." She made it sound like this guy was following him all over town; my sense was that it was more likely that this guy went to some campaign event and was probably taking photos of Jones + her family + her staff in the hopes of getting some sort of embarrassing pic that they could use in their shitty propaganda ads. Shitty for certain. That said, I'm skeptical that the kid was really at risk.
  7. My sense was that Gaetz may very well have hired a child predator to take pics of Jones and her family (including her kid), but that the court decided that this kind of one-off activity by the guy didn't constitute stalking (which requires a whole course of conduct). Is it shitty to hire this sort of character? Sure. Was it likely to put Jones' kid at serious risk? Probably not. As I mentioned, the way the situation was presented is sketchy and tends to undermine her credibility. That said, Gaetz will never get any sympathy from me.
  8. Uhh, tacking "The man, Larry Hetu, admitted in court he stalked, photographed a 12 year old boy for Matt Gaetz in September/October 2022." onto the "photos of Gaetz making out with young men" tweet is pretty sketchy. Then again, we're dealing with Matt Gaetz and the MAGA contingent so ...
  9. Holy shit - I had not heard about the Saudis use of AZ water to - wait for it - grow fucking alfalfa in the middle of the desert for export back to SA. I don't know how much 22,400 acre-ft per year goes, but that is still some monumentally stupid gov't action. Saudi firm has pumped Arizona groundwater for years without paying. Time to pony up (yahoo.com)
  10. The more I hear of his random, almost stream-of-consciousness lying, the more he reminds me of this ... It's going to be the perfect ending when we find out he's Keyser Söze.
  11. Is that dude Charlie Kirk's older half-brother that they locked in the attic?
  12. Absolutely. Like dealing with 15 Sinemas on crack. Good luck with that.
  13. Would be a fitting end to this debacle if there was some GOP-on-GOP chicanery so that the McCarthy crew could blame losing the speakership on Beavis and Boebert ...
  14. This will be the downfall of America. The GOP is intent on increasing the base of stupid angry people that they can control (without ever doing anything to help them) by (1) increasing the number of stupid people and (2) making certain that there are no limits on their ability to foment anger (both by ensuring that the channels for rage (Twitter, Fox, etc.) stay open and ensuring there are no consequences for the constant stream of lies that they spread).
  15. Best I could tell was he was trying to argue that allowing a black Santa to refuse to provide services to KKK hood-wearing patrons would somehow constitute discrimination tantamount to the LGBTQ discrimination at issue here, given only white people would be impacted (this being the point of his sarcastic comment about black children dressing up in KKK outfits) - somehow overlooking the fact that the discrimination would really be a function of those white people being members of the fucking Klan (i.e., violent bigots that hate said Santa), not their whiteness. One of the great legal minds of our time, y'all ...

    Holy shit. How did I miss out on Garfunkel & Oates? Clicked their link on Youtube to find this gem (The Loophole) ...
