Horn Under a Bad Sign

SIAP. I heard a podcast about this the other day. It's pretty well documented, in my opinion, that Trader Joes is ripping off smalltime food creators who come to them with insanely good ideas. That's really fucking shitty ---- and there's nothing they can do about it, legally. https://www.kcrw.com/news/shows/press-play-with-madeleine-brand/gaza-tj-labor-hbo-nba/trader-joes It’s one thing to buy samples of a product you want to knock off and do the work to create a version of it. It’s quite another, if the article is accurate, to feign interest in a product to get access to ideas and trade secrets and then bring your own version of product to market, knowing the inventor probably doesn’t have the resources to bring legal action.

I bought one of these guayaberas for tailgate season. 50% cotton and 50% linen. They also offer it in solid burnt orange with white embroidery. https://www.texas-standard.com/collections/tejas-guayabera/products/tejas-guayabera-burnt-orange

In all honest, I like cookie cake.

My favorite lyrics of any song released this year.

Don't forget the Comanche women and children massacred at the Battle of the Pease river.

Fucking asshole. This is attempted murder.

Six five-stars.

I had a threesome once, so this hits close to home.

We don't have a separate LSU thread so this will have to go here for now. We may have Lambos but LSU has ... candles. Holy shit this is embarrassing.

Holy shit this is fantastic.

In all honesty, I kind of feel that, going forward, LSU won't be getting many ---- if ANY ---- recruits that Texas REALLY wants.

Dude, do you even Phyliss from Mulga?

If he's going to make his final decision "soon," I think that has got to bode well for Texas. My thought is that he came in, Texas blew him away, he's gone home to think about it, and now is close to 98% certain that he knows where he wants to go: Texas. The problem he faces is having to let the FSU coaches know. That's my homer take. But each day that he waits to decide, though, is a chance for more and more FSU fans to get in his ear.

Flip. Flop. Flip. Flop. First there was the U-Turn on TikTok. Now he's done a 180 on crypto-currencies --- one week after announcing that his campaign would accept donations in cryptocurrency. "Donald Trump’s position on cryptocurrencies seemed relatively clear. For years, the Republican called them a “disaster waiting to happen,” adding that as far as he was concerned, Bitcoin seemed “like a scam.” When it came to crypto, the former president said he was “not a fan,” adding, “Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity." Trump today: “VOTE FOR TRUMP! Bitcoin mining may be our last line of defense against a CBDC [central bank digital currency]. Biden’s hatred of Bitcoin only helps China, Russia, and the Radical Communist Left. We want all the remaining Bitcoin to be MADE IN THE USA!!! It will help us be ENERGY DOMINANT!!!” https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-touts-bitcoin-mining-completes-cryptocurrencies-flip-flop-rcna156772 This man thinks that a DIGITAL currency is "made" somewhere. I can hear it now: "These big, burly bitcoin miners ---- I'm talking about hard, tough men who last cried on the day they were born ---- these bitcoin miners came to me with tears in their eyes and said 'President Trump, don't let Joe Biden send our bitcoin mining jobs to China."

Blah blah blah blah Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

Leaking, exploding orphan wells wreaking havoc in West Texas "In recent years, Schuyler Wight has noticed a growing number of abandoned oil wells coming back to life, gurgling fluids on the surface of his West Texas ranch. Last week he found the biggest one yet. Gassy water was gushing from the ground and down a quarter mile of roadway before it drained into a pasture on a remote corner of his land. “It’s by far flowing more than any other,” Wight said. “It’s getting worse, there's no question about that.” It’s the latest in a string of mysterious water features in the arid Permian Basin, the nation’s top producing oil field, that regulators have been unable to explain. Last year, an eruption of salty water swamped several acres on Wight’s cousin’s ranch, triggering a multi-million-dollar cleanup. In 2022, a geyser shot up from a well in Crane County, then another on the Antina Cattle Ranch. Nearby, a large pond of gassy groundwater has become a permanent feature called Boehmer Lake. Texas’ oilfield regulator, the Texas Railroad Commission, has yet to offer an explanation for what is driving so much water to the surface. After the massive cleanup effort in January, an agency press release said it was “continuing to investigate” the cause https://www.texastribune.org/2024/06/11/west-texas-orphan-wells-water-bursts/?mc_cid=82ec508d3d&mc_eid=de6141672b

There's nothing to make of it. She's a 6'9" extremely flat-chested, extremely athletic woman who knows how to play basketball like a motherfucker.

Holy Fuck. Not Erin Dunston!

Okay ... I'm going to take the risk of trying to unpack it. "They are a shell of a program [that finished the season ranked third in the nation. If that makes us a "shell" of a program, what does that make A&M, who fired their coach?] that projects their elitism to others [okay ... so we are elite, and we're trying to project our elitism to others? Isn't this a GOOD thing?]. The whole thing about the illuminati reveals how shit fucking scared they must be. Wow. Illuminati? Really? Jesus H Christ.
