  1. "No evidence of a crime?" Did they not get the part where he's brown?
  2. It's a pathetic cult. That's it. There's no deeper layer to it.
  3. Yep. Either way, UT has successfully branded itself as "cowardice U." A shittacular look, but then, our state leadership wants to turn the university into "Prager University at Austin," so they are just fine with that. Man, the one hallmark of this era that I'll never understand is how all of these pathetic fucksticks are falling all over themselves to bow in supplication and gargle the balls of the most pathetic figure in American history. The complete lack of self-respect and dignity blows me away.
  4. A smart man doesn't limits his options.
  5. Huh. All this story really tells me is that the dynamic of "power and politics trump the rule of law/justice" is even more egregious than it has been in the past. The very same folks who yell from the highest mountain that "pedophiles are the greatest threat we face!" are also the folks who do the most to protect pedos when they are affiliated with their team: football, political, cultural, religious, etc. The "he's a good christian man" defense is a 100% "get out of jail free" card, now more than ever.
  6. Dear Meriwether: he doesn't fucking care about you, or anyone else but HIM. And he never has, and never will. So, cordially, get fucked. All the way fucked. Then turn back around, and get fucked again going the other direction. You support an entirely self-interested narcissist, you'll get shit on. It's a rule with 100% accuracy. Maybe don't do it. But, we understand....you gotta hate dirty beaners and queers, and also those dirty libz in tha big cities, and that overrides everything else.
  7. I mean...game respek game. But the story says the suspect was 36. Dude, I ain't been 36 in....a long time. Besides, my stalking is much smoother. I casually walked by the Parliament House in Helsinki a while back, and gave it a nod and a Now, we wait for her to figure out where here heart truly lies.
  8. This. The victims will be punished here, because they broke the code and didn’t “keep it in the family.”
  9. "Good work on this, guys. Y'all chose a solid font, and the margins look great. The grammar seems strong. Give yourselves a big pat on the back!"
  10. All I know is that these guys gave me a new way to soft-sell my out-of-shapedness.....I'm "athletically allergic." Yeah, that's the ticket.
  11. What I've been saying for a decade now. Once someone has opted OUT of the Rule of Law and norms, there is no play -- none, not a single one -- within the Rule of Law and norms that is a winning play. AND, once once side has opted out of the Rule of Law and norms, then those things are over. Since we're living a wrestling kayfabe, once one side starts swinging chairs grabbed from ringside, any "legit wrestling" is over. It's now a chair-swinging fight, completely outside all rules and norms. All that is left is to (1) win at all costs, (2) impose crippling punishment/sanctions to destroy the offenders once you have the power to do so, then (3) reconstruct the institutions of a democratic republic the best you can. But with better guardrails and failsafes this time. Knowing that nothing is perfect. And at this point, all options are shitty. But you best grab a fucking chair and start swinging if you want to survive.
  12. And for those of you who don't think that sort of outcome is coming before this presidential term is out, you are either lying to yourself, lying to everyone else, or both. That sort of activity -- emboldened by the functional lack of true resistance thus far -- is exactly what the current iteration of ICE is made for, armed for, and intended for. If you think that Stephen Miller will not order the wholesale slaughter of any and all who dare oppose the regime, you are deluded. Shit, just this past Saturday I told my wife that if shit goes down, don't follow the crowd fleeing down the street, duck into alleys and use those. They provide better defilade from projectiles, and are less likely to see active tear gas launches into them. You best be thinking about the same any and every time you appear at anything even loosely associated with opposing the regime.
  13. aggie08 knows what's up. Because of there's one thing we've learned in this timeline, it's that Jesus loves a winner.
  14. I spent 4 hours of my Saturday watching Texas play "football," so let's not question people's sado-masochistic proclivities, mmmkay? FTR, I think I'd have been better off had I just shoved a broomstick up my ass instead of watching that "game."
  15. So, what is the phrase for AI that feeds on itself? Yeah, I know its cannibalism and whatnot, but I recall a perfect phrase/name for the phenomenon, but can't remember it now.
  16. Oh, on any and all projects these days, grift/routing projects to donors is an understood baseline. Just realize and accept that. There are NO tax dollars that do not suffer from some diversion to corrupt ends. That's the rule these days. Funny that all the "drain the swamp!" types have gotten us fully immersed in the most openly corrupt governance in 100 years. But if we want anything good to be done, just understand there will always be an inherent "siphoned off to the governor's cronies" tax. On every dollar, for every purpose.
  17. Huh. I've hit it multiple times as a "we just want some barbecue where we don't have to wait in line, but still want better than Rudy's," and I truly haven't had a "miss." Is it the BEST EVER? No. But has it been consistently good? Yep. In fact, so much so that I tell out-of-towners who don't have time to wait in line somewhere that's a decent place to go to get a sampling of legit Texas BBQ. What have you had that was not good?
  18. I think we get f'd by this particular window of weather. (1) We had a wet enough summer that there's still water standing in the creeks, being fed very slowly by springs, etc., and (2) because it hasn't rained, that water isn't flowing, it's just standing. Which is perfect skeeter habitat. Some rain to move the water would help. But more likely.....continued drought will dry up the pools eventually.
  19. I mean, I can't even listen to Marketplace in the evening without them spending the whole broadcast trying to find diplomatic ways to say "WTF?" Sigh. Seriously, I should definitely listen to nothing but bubble gum pop and such, it could only help my state of mind as Texas burns, the country descends into a fascist hellscape, etc. And don't you DARE suggest sports radio where I have to hear about Longhorn football. That's just cruel.
  20. You know I won't be arguing with you. But we could ALWAYS do worse. So, let's not call a constitutional convention to re-write our constitution just now, mmkay? Can you imagine what a giant pile of evil fuckery that would be?
  21. "Texas football: worse than cancer." Maybe not the most inspiring slogan, but it seems accurate.
  22. See, depressing shit like this is why I'm looking at ditching KUT and renewing my Sirius subscription so I can listen to that super fun "Kelly Clarkson Connection."
  23. Bolded part for key truth. He has no real understanding of what's actually happening. His instinct is to side with the "bigger" bully, because that's what HE is, to his core. And he just doesn't get it when David stands up and slays Goliath. It doesn't compute.
