I believe Plan II is a separate app. My eldest is a 2nd year and loves it. They offer about 170 students and there is no wait list. They offer a certain number of applicants, and those who accept make up that year’s class. The essay is very important, maybe the most important part of the app.
Man…old Plan II major here…I suspect I’d have no shot of getting in today. Back in the day? I got in, and got a full ride. It’s so much harder today.-

I saw Hellraiser II in Enid Oklahoma with 3 preacher's daughters and afterwards we cruised the main drag in town. Honestly a great night.
You left out the rest of this Penthouse Forum letter for some reason.-

Why does he challenge people to fights? Is he 13 years old?
11, by my analysis. But there’s a case to be made for 13.-

Hopefully you put down the goddamned phone and rubbed her feet.
Damn straight. -
This para is the summary of that story, and the crappy place where we are these days:
“There’s been an increase in the ‘every-man-for-himself mentality,’ ” says Dr. Craig Bryan, who studies military and rural suicide at the University of Utah. “There doesn’t seem to be as strong a sense of ‘We’re all in this together.’ It’s much more ‘Hey, don’t infringe upon me. You’re on your own, and let me do my own thing.’ ”-

Tacos bro, some of us love to eat tacos.
…and tacos are a perfect brunch food.
I rest my case. -
What in the world could possibly take over that Louis Shanks building? The world’s most uncomfortable coworking space?
It’s like you haven’t even heard of Brisketexan’s FreedomEagleJesusGun School for Freedom and Liberty and Jesus that will happily accept the soon-to-come vouchers the Lege will be handing out.
I sent an application package to your kiddos, I’m disappointed that y’all haven’t filled it out yet.
Our Louis Shanks campus is going to be our crown jewel.-

Friday night, sitting on the couch. My wife’s feet propped up on my lap.
Music.
Don Williams. John Denver. Bellamy Brothers. Gordon Lightfoot. Redbone. Hall and Oates. Johnny Nash. Cat Stevens. Chicago. ABBA. Three Dog Night. Gerry Rafferty. Marshall Tucker Band. Billy Joel (played Scenes from an Italian Restaurant; first time we kissed was while he was playing that song at a concert at the Erwin Center, 1990).
Just being in the moment, feeling it all.
It’s a helluva world, people.-

I'll kick you back 20% for every kid you get to sign up for Dr. Canecutter's Miracle Brain Ancient Caucasian Leadership Domination Seminar Cartoon Story Hour. $10,000 a year and you can't afford NOT to have your child enrolled in this because their rivals including the brat kid of that bitch Becky at the school board are already unlocking our course's secrets.
It's thinking like this that has a seat on our Board of Trustees reserved just for you.

That said....once vouchers pass the legislature (they WILL pass, eventually)....don't let my comments discourage you from sending little Johnny to Brisketexan's EagleFreedomJesusGun Academy. Our $20k per student tuition is GUARANTEED to provide you at least $5k of education quality, and $15k of sound administration by said Brisketexan, all while just playing PragerU videos or some shit for the entire class day.

The Murdoch family jet plummeting to its doom with the entire clan aboard would be one of the greatest leaps forward for humanity since we began walking upright.

I too am investing in buttplug futuresAt this point, I'm looking at becoming a contraband smuggler to future Texas to supply all the things that are banned/will be banned. Porn. Books. Women's clothing that doesn't come from the LDS sister-wives catalog. You know, really anything that doesn't make an appearance in A Handmaid's Tale.

Last time I was there, a client took me to Carnitas Queretaro, it was top-notch.
L&J is an institution, you probably should check it out. And I dig Chico's -- it's an EP thing, a real piece of local anthropology and history.
I usually stay at the Indigo downtown, but that's because my work obligations are usually in the area. I really dig EP, it's a pretty and underrated city (I love the high desert, not everyone does).

There's no question, and I appreciate the extroverts for this. I've had great times with random people who started conversations with me at the bar.
On the plane though you motherfuckers can fuck right off.
Well, on a plane (or anywhere else, for that matter), the key is "read the room." If the person next to me wants to be chatty, I'll chat. If not, I work/read etc. Have had some great conversations on planes, have had plenty more flights where I don't say anything other than my drink order to the FA.

He must be like those embezzlers who just take a little at first and then can't stop themselves. I guess this guy thought he was bulletproof or was confused about the notion of double jeopardy.
It's orange coveralls for you, you disgrace. Seems like a perfect cellmate for Trump.
I actually fucking love that idea. "America's Bi-Partisan Gitmo for Crooked Fucks." I'd send in $1000 extra tax dollars to see that exact prison 1) constructed and 2) used for the stated purpose.

I’m one of the relatively rare extroverts who are willing to admit it on the internet. I have to travel for work a fair amount, and I cannot stand to either eat alone or sit alone in a hotel. I will strike up conversations with practically anyone while traveling and often go have drinks or dinner with people I just met.
Yeah, I'm closer to this. Some of the coolest experiences I've had have been with random connections over a drink or dinner or whatnot.

Seriously! Wash your dildos every time you use one.
And even more importantly, if you're using someone ELSE'S dildo, DEFINITELY wash it. Both before (for safety) and after (as a courtesy). Hygiene and manners, people.

It's hard to read these and not think of your own experiences as either "shit, I should just shut up, I've had it easy," or "if I mention anything I've been through, it'll sound like I'm trying to one-up people -- 'oh YEAH? You think YOU had it bad? Wait till you hear THIS ONE!'"
Of course, the reality is that whoever you are, life has managed to kick you in the nuts one way or another. And it's pointless to compare your pain to someone else's, because it really isn't about relativity. You don't tell a guy who had one leg blown off by an IED "yeah, man, you're lucky, I met a dude who had BOTH legs blown off by an IED!" Likewise, you don't tell the dude who lost both legs "man, I bet you wish you were the dude who only lost one leg." Both experiences crossed the threshold of "traumatic and stressful shit that left a serious fucking scar."
Maybe some of the interesting ones are those that you didn't realize were quite so stressful at the time. Like the pregnancy my wife lost between our two kids. Bleeding. She knew something was wrong. Went to the hospital, and yep, she'd lost the baby and needed a procedure. Meanwhile, our toddler daughter was at her part-time nanny's. I call the nanny to ask can she please stay late, we don't have anyone else to watch her while I rush to the hospital. "Of course, she's safe here. Go." I go to be with my wife through the procedure. By the time she's in recovery, he mother (coming up from Houston) was there. So I leave her to go pick up our daughter, knowing my wife will be coming home shortly after. I ask her if there's anything she wants when she gets home. She says "biscuits. Fresh biscuits. Like, from Jim's." So, I pick up our daughter at 10:00 pm, way later than she's usually up. I go in to pick up a half dozen biscuits to go, at the Jim's at 183 and Burnet. It's 10;00, so it's pretty slow in there. Waitress goes to get them, comes back and says "you know, all the biscuits we have are a bit old, so I asked the cook to put in a fresh batch. Why don't you have a seat at the counter." I do. I plop my 1.5 yr old daughter up on the counter. The waitress brings her toast and jelly. She brings me a cup of coffee, without me asking for any of it. And I sat there at that counter with my smiling, happy daughter, and a kind waitress doting on her. And I saw and felt the child we had just lost. I was just hollow in that moment -- it took me months, years, to realize how hollow I really felt. In a few minutes, we had a box of fresh biscuits, and we headed home. I've never forgotten that moment, an intersection of childish purity and innocence, my pain, and a stranger's kindness, at the formica counter at Jim's at 10:00 on a weeknight. The loss of that was a slow-burn for me. It still hits me sometimes, in a random wave. Thing is, it wasn't even a pregnancy we were ready for; my wife got pregnant much too soon after our first, we were a bit thrown, and still weren't sure how we were going to handle #2. So, maybe there's some guilt in there as well - maybe because we were wrestling with wanting that child, as he died....yeah.
I also haven't talked here much about my mother's passing, to anyone. Not even my wife. My mom died of lung cancer. Processed into hospice care at home on a Thursday evening, with an estimated few weeks to go till the end. Saturday morning, my dad texts me "SOS." I rush over there (fortunately, they had moved to a place 5 minutes away from us). Bottom line, my mother was actively dying. Her lungs were simply done. It was awful, the gasping for breath, etc. etc. I tended to her the best I could, while I told my dad to call 911 -- we had a DNR, but I also wanted something palliative done if possible. And I sat there with my suffering mother, unable to help her, unable to take away the pain and fear and awfulness of the moment. There's more to that moment, that raw moment. Really don't want to write it here, or anywhere. AFD eventually showed up, and did an incredible job of bringing peace.
My dad still tells himself the lie that he needs to tell himself about that day: "It was good how she went. At home, at peace." I know that's not how it was. And I know he does too. But I never argue with him when he says that out loud. Which he does, quite often. I just agree with him.
I went home after they took her body away. I took off the t-shirt I was wearing, stained with my mother's blood from her last breaths on the front. I shoved it in the back of the closet. It's still there.

And...this.
Shit, realizing the pain that my fellow travelers have felt breaks my fucking heart. I can't help but want to be John Coffey in The Green Mile - I want to absorb everyone else's pain, to take it away from them. And to put it on me. Which is at once narcissist savior bullshit and self-destructive and a failure to value myself as I should. I also suspect that I'm far from alone in that respect. A shitload of people are empathetic. And most people are much better humans than I am. So we just all carry our own pain.
Sometimes, though, we have the opportunity, and maybe the obligation, to help carry someone else and the baggage of their pain for just a moment. Just enough time to catch their breath. Until they can get their feet under them and renew their walk beside us, lugging their blue Samsonite rolling bag of pain while we tote our black Land's End garment bag of loss. Heso, and the rest of you...we can't carry your shit for you. But we can damned well let you know that we see it, and we give a damn.

Bullseye on every one of these. Now, imagine that Menendez was MAGA:
"WITCH HUNT! WEAPONIZED DOJ! ELECTION INTERFERENCE!"
And yes, if he was MAGA, this would make him MORE popular with the MAGAs, not less.
Everyone here -- including you lurking Republicans -- knows that this is 100% true. And we KNOW you know....yet you are still happy living in and keeping up that ecosystem. It's fucking destructive as hell, but that's what modern Republicans do. Laws for thee, not for me.
As for me? Hang the fucker. He's a crook. A pretty audacious one, from what it looks like.

Kenny Paxton/Dave P's Impeachment Game Day Thread
in Cloak Room

Counterpoint: it’s not really an outlier. One of the tools of an authoritarian movement is showing, audaciously, how far above the law the movement is. It’s the “see, NOTHING can stop us - you are powerless, so yield to our power” move. It’s what they have been doing since Trump won in 2016. They are not stopping. Ever. The GQP criticism, to the extent there really is any, will end, and soon. Because this is their play now.
