  1. I've said it before and I'll say it again; so much of Elon's worldview is crystal clear when considered as that of a powerless young boy looking to his father for how to please him and earn his approval. Regardless, he is promoting the hallmark fashy perspective wherein violence is "normalized as a legitimate form of political expression."

  3. Oh, and while we're talking about public education and WTF lege, let's check in on higher education. SIAP but here's a Trib article and some links regarding what UT and other universities in Texas are going to be facing. No clue of how serious the lege is on promoting this among their other chicanery, but this is beyond McCarthy and going straight Christian Vo-Tech: https://www.texastribune.org/2025/03/13/texas-universities-governing-boards-hiring-curricula-faculty-senates/ Here are a few excerpts but I strongly urge (in a REAL spirit of a strongly worded letter, not the sarcastic kind) reading the entire article. I read the bill itself because I thought, yeah, maybe they're exaggerating, but no, SB 37 is actually worse when you read some of the stuff the article omits for space. It effectively neuters the administration and faculty through this governing board that has more control than regents in some cases, and with-holds money for the yearly budget if they don't think the uni is conforming to their standards, standards which are rather enlightening once one reads the bill. Some of it is actually already in place in a not nefarious way because universities actually do provide oversight over their curricula, hiring, etc but this bill tweaks it to the extent that any faculty or other hires (normally the regents have the final say on those) must pass through this board and they are the ones with the vote. It also demonizes faculty senates and ...well I'll stop there but read the bill text if you have about ten minutes--I know I know, reading a proposed Act is not something you want to do, but if you want your children to inherit this mess, then look away. I'll put the bill link at the bottom. The last is rather humorous because it addresses the notion that all universities are too liberal, progressive and yet they use wording that is rather um, inclusive but you know what they really mean so gah, I just can't. Here comes the march of the middling white religious conservative male, see him strut through the halls of higher ed wielding his superior white male intellect to the masses. Strike that, in the bill, this new board also has oversight over admissions so guess who doesn't get in? Not the masses that make up the demographic of this state, just those of whom we approve. Here is the link to the bill: https://trackbill.com/bill/texas-senate-bill-37-relating-to-the-governance-of-public-institutions-of-higher-education-including-review-of-curriculum-and-certain-degree-and-certificate-programs-the-powers-and-duties-of-a-faculty-council-or-senate-training-for-members-of-the-governing-board-and-the-establishment-of-the-office-of-excellence-in-higher-education/2698611/ Read between the lines in an Orwellian fashion and it is, as I stated, enlightening. I forgot to add, I think it was Brandon Creighton of Conroe that proposed it.
  4. Bolded (my emphasis). Isn't AoG the group that glossed over the whole affair/conncections with some longtime sexual predator/pedophile who was affiliated with their campus outreach ministries: Chi Alpha? The ones that had the aggie dudes that took a minor boy to Houston and had naked spiritual services with him? These folks are the ones that want to put the Ten Commandments in the classroom? Nevermind the fox in the henhouse, that's giving them the farm...
  5. Calling it right now: Jerry (which immediately precedes Karen) is going to be one of those just messin' around in sweatpants storms but Karen is going to come onshore with severe speak to the manager energy.
  6. Texas reported 259 cases of measles today, an increase of 36 since Tuesday. Nationwide (CDC brief), there are ~300 in total spread over 15 states (including Texas). Immunity among vaccinated citizens does seem to be helping which is a positive sign; other communities have been reporting shortages of MMR shots due to demand. Good that people are getting immunized, because the virus may see an uptick after the spring break weeks around the country conclude and students re-enter classrooms.
  7. In a similar genre, watch him in Four Weddings and a Funeral and The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill And Came Down A Mountain if you haven't already. Both flicks have solid casting and some very funny scenes as well as some poignant ones.
  8. Texas reporting 223 cases today in their news brief. Of those, 29 are in the hospital. Lubbock has stayed at the same number of cases, Gaines County is still outbreak central with 156 cases. AFAIK, New Mexico hasn't reported beyond last week, but Oklahoma added two cases linked to the outbreak in TX/NM to the mix--officials there are not reporting the location because they said "the public is not at risk." Apparently because the patients isolated themselves "during the contagious period." That is not exactly reassuring being that it IS Oklahoma but hey Okies, you do you.
  9. His Dad probably wouldn't let him wear makeup, but it's very Adam Ant-Duran Duran like. Just goes to show that if someone had given him more of a nudge when he began his whole midlife crisis, we could've avoided this whole DOGE fiasco because Elon would've just started his own middle-aged boy/rock band kinda like other celebs and rich guys do.
