  1. Onto less serious topics, I ordered the Thom Browne scarf and some friendship bracelets back on September 16 and still do not have either. Sigh.
  2. I think you have actually met my folks at a Houston event or another. I know. And no offense taken. I wrestle with it myself. I have gotten grief on here for refusing to step foot in Texas until I have no choice (work related), but the shit Republicans have done in Texas and in other states is personal for me and for a lot of other women and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
  3. Me too. I saw the headline, and was about to send it off to my Vietnam Vet father (who voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, though to be fair to my dad, he is voting for the R, not the guy behind it (never voted Dem, not even 1963)). I am working on him and my mom to either hold their noses and vote for Kamala (I would put that at a 5% chance) or to stay home (45% chance at the moment). I do not have a lot of hope, and if they vote for Trump, that will irrevocably damage my relationship with them. For those that think this is a hyperbole, Trump hates women and was totally cool taking away our right to bodily autonomy. It is shocking to me that my dad, who told me growing up that I could be anyone I wanted to be, would vote for a misogynist like Trump, who is totally cool with relegating women to the same place they are in enlightened places like Afghanistan under the Taliban or Saudi Arabia (i.e. as little more than property).
  4. A Vietnam Vet gave him his. https://nypost.com/2024/10/05/us-news/vietnam-war-veteran-gives-trump-his-purple-heart-for-taking-bullet-in-butler-you-got-guts/
  5. https://www.mlleshetravels.com/ The places I would like to go back to, or do go back to when I can are: MoSuke Restaurant AMALIA Montee (Still) Le Chateaubriand I have writeups on MoSuke and Montee on that website I linked.
  6. I just sent this to my parents. They do not like Kamala, for whatever reason. Probably becuase she has a D behind her name. I point blank told them that they need to drag their heads out of their asses. This got sent today. Trump plays politics with disaster funds... Basically, if it is a Democrat asking, or a state that voted for his opponent, like in 2017, they are shit out of luck. This is not the way the President of the US is supposed to act, especially in light of a disaster. Aren't you glad, as Texans, that Biden did not do that after the freeze in 2021? As good Christians, we are supposed to help those in need. I hope on November 5th, you both realize that this isn't the guy needed to lead this country, and you either hold your nose and vote Harris/Walz or stay home. https://www.eenews.net/articles/helene-isnt-the-first-time-trump-inserted-politics-into-a-natural-disaster/ And this isn't the first time. See the response to NC for Hurricane Matthew in 2017. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/north-carolina-denied-99-percent-federal-recovery-funds-hurricane-matthew North Carolina will receive less than 1 percent of the federal funds it requested to cover damages associated with Hurricane Matthew, which hit the East Coast in October.
  7. The misogyny and hate in this thread is fucking unreal. So not surprising given this thread originated in Daily Texan. Some of you people need Jesus, and not Republican Jesus.
  8. Those are the nuts that were at the Trump trial every day. And if you have never seen nudity in Houston, well, you didn’t spend a lot of time in Montrose. Remember, I lived in Houston for years, from 2009 to 2019.
  9. I was there at the taping last night. This was a great segment.
  10. All good. Until they prove otherwise, Texas voters are shitty, and I lump my own parents in there becuase they vote Republican. I love them, but politically, I hate what they condone. And I am trying to change their minds. But since I am a person that Texans have decided shouldn't have agency over her own body, they can all go fuck themselves.
  11. Hit a nerve, obviously. Long and short, NYC is not responsible to Trump. He might have been born here, but New Yorkers had no say in that. Rather, New Yorkers, have, since he ran, repudiated him. And when I say New Yorkers, I mean the entire state. Trump has never won New York State. Texas, on the other hand, has, in every election, gone for Trump. The cities and counties that vote Democratic still have enough Trumpies to send the entire state to him. Never fucking mind that Texas has voted for single party rule by the GQP for the last 30 years. Until Texas changes that, Texas is shitty.
  12. Thankfully, from an NYC perspective, pretty much all but Staten Island have repudiated him.
  13. Good on you. As a woman, that is not something I could do. LOL. I said people. That means the group. Individuals are fine, but as a whole, just look at how Texas votes. That tells you all you need to know.
  14. Just read that. FYI, the scene in Amarillo was awful. People in Texas are shitty. Glad I don't live there anymore.
  15. This is really good.
  16. Win out and win the SEC. Rankings don't make a shit if you do that.
  17. Yang played Vance, Moo Deng, and Charli XCX all in one ep.
  18. Bowen Yang as Moo Deng on weekend update…lol.
  19. This officiating crew really isn’t very good. They have missed some obvious fucking calls.
  20. How was that horse collar tackle not called? It was right in front of the official?
