Horn Under a Bad Sign

Meanwhile in the Rio Grande Valley ....

What could be a better than taking the sun's rays that are cooking us and turning them into the AC that cools us?

Damn, Independence Brewery has a wonderful hazy IPA seasonal called Golden Beach Cryptid right now. It's made with Moteuka Hops from New Zealand and it's super citrusy and super tasty. My favorite beer of the last few months.

Texas set a new solar record yesterday. At 1:15 p.m., 20,800 megawatts were generated via solar. At that time, it was blazingly hot across Texas, but solar provided more than 25% of supply. Despite the high demand, wholesale power prices were below 3 cents per kilowatt hour. TLDR: No matter what O&G do, they're not going to be able to stop this transformation. It's just too good of an idea. And prices continue to fall.

As opposed to Hulk Hogan and J.D. Vance?

Bidet? It's like you've never been to West Texas.

From Instagram RUrepublicans: "Please welcome to the litter box, Ms. Vancy Feast, childless cat lady and infamous author of Couchpussy Elegy. Serving awkward Appalachian realness, this puss in boots keeps putting paw in mouth and now her poll numbers are dropping lower than her neckline. Trump must be coughing up a hairball the size of his ego.

Some of the responses are classic:

SIAP. Our Wide Receivers

SIAP: Jerry Palm predicts us to make the playoffs, get a first round bye, and play Boise State. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/bowl-projections-sec-big-ten-deliver-on-preseason-hype-taking-half-of-12-college-football-playoff-slots/

From yesterday:

Holy fuck ... J.D. Vance is really quite special. It almost can't get more surreal. https://www.mediaite.com/news/jd-vance-interview-with-rape-advocating-anti-immigrant-writer-resurfaces/ First off, in 2021 he did an interview with Jack Murphy, whose real name is Jack Goldman. J.D. ---- who himself is a mixture of Italian, Irish and Scottish descent --- made some wonderful claims about ethnic immigration. And it's not every day that a future candidate for Vice President calls for a "de-baathification" and "de-Nazification" of the Federal government, firing all of its employees, and "replacing them with our own people." But who is this alpha-male podcaster, Jack Murphy? He lost his job at the D.C. Public Charter School Board in 2018 after he was doxxed/unmasked and it was discovered that he had written things like, "I can smell a feminist yearning for a thrashing from a mile away" and "Feminists need rape." So what did this uber-masculine man do? Did he go to work as a construction worker or maybe even get a job at McDonalds to support himself and his wife? Nope He wrote stories about the pleasures of being a beta cuck male. Then he filmed himself and his wife in a porno movie in which he self-sodomized in a porn movie. Then he sold it online. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/jack-murphy-queer-as-volk-gay-beard/ This is just some really fucked-up shit. Whenever people use words like "extra-Constitutional" we're in dangerous territory: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/08/jd-vance-appeared-with-podcaster-jack-murphy-who-said-feminists-need-rape/

That's just Monday for Donald Trump.

It makes me wonder that, if Joe Biden is crooked, why Trump thinks Kamala --- a former prosecutor --- should have anything to do with him.

Plus 10% for shipping and handling

It might just be me, but a felon talking about fleeing to a foreign country seems like a good way to get your passport revoked.

J.D. Vance might cost Trump Ohio. https://www.politicususa.com/2024/08/11/jd-vance-trump-lose-ohio.html

Another Republican who fucked around and found out. Sentencing guidelines are anywhere from seven to twenty two years.

How Trump plans to steal this election. Pretty good article. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/12/trump-overturn-result-presidential-election-vote
