  1. “Elon is a father who gets lots of sex” lulz. “He will never stoop to the lows of anger!”
  2. While we are exchanging CCA tales, I had a friend once offer to set me up as Jaci Velazquez’ plus one for some function she was attending in the RGV at the beginning of her career. I didn’t accept, as I recall I was trying to capture the attention of a fellow lifeguard at the city pools at the time and because as a good Campbellite youth I had no idea who she was. Metallica and Sublime was fine, fun secular music but Christian pop was frowned upon and also sucked.
  3. Pretenders didn’t listen to Amy Grant because she was “too worldly” but real OGs didn’t listen to her because she sang with the accompaniment of mechanical instruments of music.
  4. Both Elon and Anastasis are appropriately focused on the U.S. Army angle here, lol.
  5. Elon discovers that people in the Army pass through the nation’s largest military installation.
  6. I thought I might date myself. I’m in my 40s and really too young to know about him if not for the family and West Texas CoC connections. What a legendary bullshit artist, he’d have done so well in the 2020s.
  7. One of my “real Texan” bona fides is that Billy Sol Estes is a peripheral relative. He turned up at a family function I attended as a kid in the early 90’s, stayed a while, and then left. Following his cameo appearance, a bunch of the aunts and grannies— church of Christ ladies to a one— tutted about poor ole Billy Sol and how he’d been railroaded and mistreated. And Billy Sol was famous for taking a turn at the pulpit. Anyway, later at a “core family” dinner my dad mentioned that no matter how Billy Sol might have been railroaded it couldn’t have been worse than how he absolutely conned the people who were the targets of his preaching and that everyone should know better than to listen to a “woe is me” tale from a crook.
  8. Citing Rod Blagojevich’s thoughts as expressed to Joe Rogan is possibly the most insane way I’ve ever seen someone argue against the U.S. justice system.
  9. I don’t think the “recent convert” angle is going to hold, given that this appears to be his birth name and that his family in Beaumont is speaking to local media through an imam. I think the source for that claim is an ex-wife’s subsequent husband. He could have begun acting much more externally devout and rigid as part of the radicalization process, which is pretty common and could read as a conversion. https://mynbc15.com/news/nation-world/imam-shamsud-din-jabbars-family-says-tragic-incident-driven-by-hatred-and-ignorance-beaumont-new-orleans-attack-islamic-state
  10. Turn your ordinary car bomb into a shaped charge with this one simple trick.
  11. The kind of mental illness where you find four other people with the same mental illness and plan things out all together.
  12. https://www.ft.com/content/91183cbb-50f9-464a-9d2e-96063825bfcf I firmly believe that all of generative AI is complete bullshit and on balance has made anything it touches worse. Also, we are on our way to making Dead Internet Theory a reality.
  13. They gotta work on these statements. I know what they mean but “we found an ISIS flag on the car used to do a terrorism. We are hard at work investigating if the perp was associated with terrorists” is such an asinine way to explain what they are doing.
  14. Looks great., what’s in them? My NY peas are always pretty simple— bacon, salt pork, onion, garlic, salt and pepper.
  15. These are the actions of someone who has no one who cares about him, just sycophants and hangers on. I need to be clear, I don’t feel bad about that because it’s his own fault.
  16. I’ll likely do leg of lamb for NYE. It’s significantly more affordable than prime rib, it’s more forgiving, and it’s a fantastic centerpiece. And great with that horseradish sauce. I like to get the Weber hot and indirect roast over coals.
  17. Watch this space with Stanford, I posted about it a bit on the general football board. They’ve hired Drew Luck as head of football operations with the HC reporting to him. I think it’s an interesting move and am sure other P5 schools are watching. With NIL and the portal, roster and budget management are now such a huge part of the game, it’s right for someone with a moneyball mentality to come in and let the HC just do Xs and Os and some of the happy side of recruiting. The experiment could be a dead end but trying it out was inevitable.
  18. The universe has conspired to make the richest man also completely and utterly unlikeable. He’s a fairy tale character, his life seems completely miserable TBH.
  19. Port Isabel Quick Stop shrimp fresh from the marinade and ready for ceviche. And the finished product. Beach house serving bowl, so the service isn’t classy but ceviche is best outside of pretentious restaurants.
