John Mulaney said, in an interview, that Charles Barkley told him: at the Olympics, everyone loves their country. That seems more true today than when I was a young man, and I am glad I am here for it. It was a dusty Olympics.

Aight. It is funny that turnip’s hands are bigger than carpetbaggers.

The couple were hit at an intersection with a stop sign. https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/one-dead-another-injured-after-being-hit-by-car-in-west-austin#

Saw this on Reddit. Icky if real.

Elon must think apartheid has become the resistance. Idiotic fucknut.

Folks who travel quiet neighborhood roads to avoid congestion don’t drive the speed limit?

Some yada yada’s just mean more. Example: this type of non-venomous snake eats pests.

Counselor Dude. When Jerry’s in red, there’s trouble ahead. Perhaps you can spend your Garcia thought time meditating on Dylan’s takes on Garcia. ”There’s no way to measure his greatness or magnitude as a person or as a player. I don’t think eulogizing will do him justice. He was that great – much more than a superb musician with an uncanny ear and dexterity. He is the very spirit personified of whatever is muddy river country at its core and screams up into the spheres. He really had no equal. To me he wasn’t only a musician and friend, he was more like a big brother who taught and showed me more than he’ll ever know. There are a lot of spaces and advances between the Carter family, Buddy Holly and, say, Ornette Coleman, a lot of universes, but he filled them all without being a member of any school. His playing was moody, awesome, sophisticated, hypnotic and subtle. THERE’S NO WAY to convey the loss. It just digs down really deep.” So, enough with invoking a blushing Garcia.

(Please move this to the appropriate thread; I apologize, I couldn’t fucking find it). Austin Pride Parade news today: Austin Pride president Micah Andress told KXAN that Palestinian flagsare “absolutely allowed” at the events and that the organization is “dedicated to fostering a space of love and unity where everyone is welcome.” “Our mission has always been to create a safe and inclusive environment for celebration,” Andress said. So ironic, wouldn’t you say? Given Palestinian antipathy for gay and queer and trans folk, do you get me? Austin’s pride parade will absolutely allow this flag which seeks to exterminate the LGBTQ+ kind. Palestinian fuckoids get their meeting, and still shit all over the furniture. Fuck them. Let them vote R. Let them strike another self immolation match.

Sad news out of Utah, with thirteen books being officially banned from their school system. Apparently, this is the first state with a state-wide ban. Here is the list of censored titles: "A Court of Thorns and Roses" by Sarah J. Maas "A Court of Frost and Starlight" by Sarah J. Maas "A Court of Mist and Fury" by Sarah J. Maas "A Court of Silver Flames" by Sarah J. Maas "A Court of Wings and Ruin" by Sarah J. Maas "Empire of Storms" by Sarah J. Maas "What Girls are Made of" by Elana K. Arnold "Milk and Honey" by Rupi Kaur "Forever" by Judy Blume "Tilt" by Ellen Hopkins "Fallout (Crank, Book 3)" by Ellen Hopkins "Oryx and Crake" by Margaret Atwood "Blankets" by Craig Thompson Milk and Honey is a book of poetry. All those who vote, or support, this censorship should go home and throw out all their literature, all their music, and all their films. They have no right to art of any kind. Fuck them. And cornhole that bitch in Westlake. (Note. Tried to c/p two different links, but no luck).

“Keep passing the open windows.”

That’s a lot of votes.

While I value your perspective, the current members of SCOTUS are in the bag for bozo. That does worry me.

Well, alright! LFG!

Dude hitting that WR pole vault was bad ass.

Baba booie.

This far out, the polls mean nothing, and you have your voting suppression and whispers about refusing to certify elections to keep your mind busy. Stay on task, soldier.

Okay, I am a fan of her, too.

I love Simone Biles and am surprised to learn other folks don’t. I don’t get @Bevo’s beef. I remember Olga and Nadia, et al. Biles is in another universe.

Yep.

Brother lives in South Bend. On the golf course today, he had a conversation that makes him think Mayor Pete will be the pick. I guess we will see.

Fasted for a blood draw, and afterwards thought I’d splurge and try a Sonic ssmashburger. Was told mine was the first that particular Sonic had sold. Three patties, melted cheese, jalapeños. It was good, but not Short Stop good, much less Dan’s good.
