    It's basically McDonald's, spray tans, and collagen injections, but you pay for it with Trump-bucks.

    I didn't say she was awesome. I said she isn't dumb. She was a shil for the right for far too long to be sure. But if she's written a bunch of pro-Trump drivel, I haven't seen it. But I don't tend to read conservative clippings.

    Much of what Peggy Noonan wrote above is sensible, well-written, and accurate. But by the end, she falls into the trap of many of my now-Democrat-supporting friends (former, moderate republicans), who want to discuss comparative policy when republicans haven't run on policy in years (although Project 2025 is their policy, Trump's campaign is disavowing it . . . unless he somehow wins). Donald Trump is not a serious candidate; he is a serious threat. Peggy isn't dumb by any means. She's just longing for civil discourse, which hasn't existed in some time.

    My mom's house lost power for 3 weeks after Ike. Ike blew. /edit: I did not see what page we were on. Conversation understandably has moved on. Sorry about that

    This should tell people all they need to know.

    Translation: he reached out to the Trump campaign to get paid in some capacity or otherwise get in on the grift, and they told him to go get his shine box.

    I had to look it up, but 2001 to be exact, after the failed "Weiner's Plus" branding. Definitely made a few trips there back in my childhood days.

    "We're weird enough." For a while, it was fine. Then Rogan and Elmo came to Austin. Then it got a bit too weird. No mas weird.

    It might backfire. And I hear the corporation that stole that phrase from the guy who made the bumper stickers can be a bit litigious. edit: Well, I'll be perusing Amazon for a bit. Lots of merch to sift through. Not sure if this one is edible

    Let's hope they don't co-opt the Keep Austin Weird thing. They won't, of course. But the only defense to "weird" is to lean into it, and they can't fathom doing that.

    Sorry about your mom. Cancer sucks.

    Isn't the whole goal of a NASA to see how high they can get?

    I don't know. I have a friend from high school carved out a niche for herself years ago as "The MJ Lawyer." She helped a lot of shops get set up in CO, then moved back to Texas and is working hard in support of the hemp industry. She speculated that once Texas was surrounded by legal states (including Mexico), it would fall. But that hasn't happened from a recreational perspective. They fought like hell last time. This amendment isn't the sort that is wildly popular for a variety of reasons, even with Rs.

    Some rep from Lubbock sponsored a bill to amend it. It went to the agriculture committee and never got the vote to get out. There is a strong lobby in support of hemp. It is a huge industry and nice tax revenue for the state. And most of the online companies seem willing to ship anywhere with the idea that it is federally legal and the end-user is responsible for compliance with the laws of his state. If Texas closes the loophole, it's just leaving money on the table because people will just order it online.

    Hemp is defined as "0.3% THCD9 by dry weight." They just make the gummy-medium a little bigger. THCA is THC in the flower that has not been set on fire or otherwise sat around long enough or been heated sufficiently to decarboxylate (lose the A). That law is on the radar for amendment in the next legislative session. It died in committee last session. Watching them try to put that toothpaste back in the tube while the internet still exists will be interesting.

    It used to be on IMDBTV, but I guess it went away when Amazon bought it and turned it into Freevee. The next time I want to watch it, I'll probably just buy a season at a time from Google/Youtube.

    Well, if he ever changes his name to Bassett, we'll know why.

    I don't know how he will have the stamina after gargling Trump's saggy old balls all day.

    He doesn't care, as long as they, in fact, buy it. Always be grifting.
