  3. Sounds like it was the same thing, but maybe just a different name? From what I remember, it started out as just a thing where some guys who owned a boa or some other scary snake would feed a rabbit to their slithery critter. I only went to it once before the move happened and didn't see the "sacrifice" part. Basically, it was an annual block party in the Tech ghetto that evolved into being a bigger deal with bands playing in a big field with a stage somewhere south or maybe southwest of town. I can't recall exactly since it's been 30-some-odd years, but what you describe sounds right with alternative college Texas bands playing.
  4. Penny pitchers at the Kitchen Club, schooners at the O Bar, trippin' ballz at The Planet (changed its name at one point to Mars, I think, aka Peaches), and trivia night at Bash's or that sports bar (can't remember the name) in that strip mall at Indiana & 4th. I won the Peanuts dance from that piano player guy at J. Pats once. Hey, did you ever go to the Easter Bunny Sacrifice Party or hang out with Ron and Dina? They'd house traveling bands, who were touring through Lubbock, at their place near downtown.
  5. No, it wasn't clear at all. That's why I bothered to actually check the source. If he meant to post it as satire, then we've got a thread for that.
  6. Unchecked misinformation is one of the main ways we got to where we are today.
  7. That's why I asked and didn't attack. If you're going to post stuff misinformation, please indicate you know it's bullshit and label it as such. Sure, okay, you knew it wasn't true but left it hanging out there without comment. Lots of lurkers read these boards, and posting something like that, again without any indication that you know it was absurd drivel, is just spreading the misinformation for some gullible idiot to read it. Don't do that.
  8. Why are you posting tweets from a known purveyor of misinformation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading_Report
  9. I'm planning to head out there in about a month and will report back.
  10. At first, I half expected that one guy on the floatie get washed over the side.
  11. And isolation. With the trade wars, the economic isolation is obvious. But there's also the physical isolation from making the prospect of coming here, even for tourists, so unpleasant no one does. And, if countries start retaliating against our citizens visiting elsewhere, we won't travel. Plus, we're already seeing academics/scientists, even American ones, beginning to flee.
  12. Making up warrants on the fly to justify rounding up folks after the fact, just so they can meet a quota. So sloppy that they even arrested a US citizen. Land of the free, and the home of the brave.
  13. From The Athletic, a long read on the battle over H-town Blue and Titans Blue along with lore/history about the move. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5932880/2025/03/28/titans-texans-oilers-throwback-uniforms-nfl/ No gift link option is available, so here's an Internet Archive one instead: https://archive.is/5zmtE
  14. As the son of two public school teachers, that was a horrible oversight on my part. Thanks for mentioning it.
  15. Was it this guy or Kash Patel who said he basically plans to run his agency from Vegas instead of DC?
  16. I'm sure the fine folks of Midland are champing at the bit to drop Legacy and get their beloved Lee High School back along with their band in Confederate uniforms and the crowd waving that shitty rebel flag.
  17. Absolutely, it's performative. My biggest practical concern about their deployment to Big Bend is the potential damage those Strykers might do to the desert floor if they start going off-road. That might sound trivial but desert ecosystems can be really fragile to that sort of thing.

  19. Passive aggressive bullying of a gigantic frozen island that they want to steal. The entourage wasn't welcome, so he never left the US base that's located almost 1,000 miles north of Greenland's capital.
  20. 73 new cases reported since Tuesday, and two more counties have been added to the list: Andrews and Midland. Of the 400 infected, only two are vaccinated people, demonstrating how effective the vaccine is. The vast majority are children, many of whom are under 5yo, and teens. https://www.dshs.texas.gov/news-alerts/measles-outbreak-2025
  21. About a minute of various clips.

  23. Pretty sure everyone knows about the Orwellian order for the Smithsonian to remove their "inappropriate ideology" already, but it also sounds like they're ready to start putting Confederate traitor statues back up. It also requires the interior secretary to reinstate monuments, memorials, statues and similar properties that have been removed or changed since Jan. 1, 2020, to β€œperpetuate a false reconstruction of American history, inappropriately minimize the value of certain historical events or figures, or include any other improper partisan ideology.”
