I said it in another thread, but it's a real possibility that instead of a somewhat reasonable human being I have a totally batshit insane fucker in the pocket of Dunn and Wilks. So I am going to be voting for Stucky over Hopper. Then there's this. Walker vs this guy. Earlier this month, the Tribune reported that Devine did not recuse himself in a high-profile sex abuse lawsuit against Southern Baptist leader Paul Pressler and his former law partner Jared Woodfill. The plaintiff in the case, a former employee of Woodfill and Pressler’s firm, said he was sexually abused by Pressler at the same time that Devine also worked for the firm. https://www.texastribune.org/2024/02/27/john-devine-texas-supreme-court-conservatives/ Stucky might get down to less than a hundred votes. I'm not fucking around. Dems know that I am going to give money, but I know that it's a long shot for whoever is opposing the R in my local house race. There's also Holland v. Pierson, yes that Pierson, over in Rockwall. 100% chance of me doing the same over there. Another similar race in Sherman. Dunn and Wilks are targeting these people, that's good enough for me.

I remember when it was ok to call Nazis evil and define them in those terms.

I'm really thinking about voting in the R primary. https://www.keranews.org/news/2024-02-26/west-texas-billionaires-back-candidates-opposing-house-republicans-who-supported-paxton-impeachment One of the people Dunn and Wilks are targeting is my local rep, Lynn Stucky. Y'all remember Katrina Pierson? She got 50k to run against Holland. https://www.texastribune.org/2016/08/15/katrina-pierson-trump-campaign/ And a little more recent There was seemingly a flirtation with TX 06 And here we are today Lynn Stucky. I have to vote for Lynn Fucking Stucky

Miller is talking about it casually. They aren't distancing from literally ROUNDING UP PEOPLE. So yeah it's that fucking serious.

Well dammit

This is a pretty good rundown for planting seed. https://storables.com/garden/when-to-plant-bermuda-grass-seed-in-texas/

Doublethink huh? How about this? What if I told you that it's a self defense mechanism? Surprisingly, IPC has been found to intensify, not abate, as the members of the public become more proficient in the forms of critical reasoning essential to science comprehension (Giner-Sorolla, & Chaiken 1997; Kahan 2016). Numeracy is an aptitude to reason well with quantitative information and to draw appropriate inferences from data (Peters et al. 2006). Thus, the individuals who are highest in numeracy are the best able to recognize whether evidence from a controlled experiment displays the pattern of covariance that supports or negates a hypothesis—unless that evidence relates to a politically charged issue (e.g., gun control). In that case (Figure 2), the most numerate people are even more likely than the least numerate ones to construe such evidence as supporting the factual beliefs that prevail among people who share their political identity no matter what its true import (Kahan, Peters, Dawson & Slovic 2017). IPC= Identity-Protective Cognition Note that the ones that dig in the hardest are the more Numerate ones. At all costs defend the con, because they can't bear to be outside of the group. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3046603

Because ax

Added The reason I left out buffalograss is because Houston. It is very very tolerant of low water conditions but it will suffer from too much. Again it's a change from germination to turf maintenance level watering. Once it gets established it's really tough. A pound of N per year is the standard rec. That's next to nothing. For the record I water once a week. Maybe twice if I am feeling generous. Bermuda doesn't give a shit. It did fine with the drought last summer.

Oof. Yeah it might be a good idea to reboot. Bermuda is a lot more forgiving than St A. Growing from seed is tricky in the first stage of germination. It has very little root system. Frequent, short duration watering is best, morning, noon and night. Once it gets some roots going you can do the longer less frequent watering, but it's touch and go for the first month or so. As far as kind of turf, it's bermudagrass, buffalo, or zoysia. St. A has a very low germination rate which is why you don't see it anywhere. Zoysia or bermudagrass would be my recommendation and of those two I'd call bermudagrass the more forgiving of cutting back on water in drought conditions.

Unless they are going to till it first I would pass on the pre before laying sod. The label should have a note on the Interval between applications and seeding or laying sod. A post emergent application on sod from last year should be fine but again check the label.

Dammit. This ain't a purity contest. In other news. M

This time, instead of being treated like the enemy, I was briefly embraced as part of the tribe, and it became clear how seductive this could be for some people. I saw up close how people felt liberated to be their worst deplorable selves in what they believed was a safe space, surrounded by supportive, like-minded enablers.

I can see them all now, they haunt my dreams All lily white and squeaky clean They've never known want, they'll never know need Their shit don't stink and their kids won't bleed Their kids won't bleed in their damn little war And we can't make it here anymore

Facts. How about something tangible? Those that agree with your general dislike of Biden may not share your feelings towards him. A portion of them that dislike him is because he isn't more liberal.
