This so so awesome that a country with no navy is doing in Russia’s Black Sea fleet.
I’m sure there are some US admirals watching with grave concern. There damned sure should be. Not that the BSF compares but there’s some serious asymmetric warfare going on that we could be on the receiving end of if we aren’t careful.I sure as shit hope that the Pentagon has a rather robust office of "the study of new shit that could absolutely fuck our shit up." And presuming they do have such an office....they need to hire a LOT more help to analyze all the new shit that has come to light. And even new ways of working with/using old shit (tube artillery, land mines). This war is a real-world display of modern warfare, how much it has evolved, and how fast it is evolving in real-time.
Creativity and being on the cutting edge of technology....and not being snobby about "new technology," it ain't just the fancy shit the boys in the lab came up with, it's the cheap off-the-shelf shit that can be easily adapted to fuck our shit up...that's the order of the day.

@Brisketexan You must not have watched the Joel Klatt clip in on this page where he goes off about the metric and amplifies its importance. What I'm saying is commentators/ap poll voters, and not just Joel Klatt, think it's meaningful. However, there's no reason to think it's a meaningful metric, especially when used without any context.

Some future episode of American Pickers is gonna be LIT.
"Earl, let's see what you've got in that barn over there."
"That ole barn? Heck, I haven't put anything back there since that weird thing I found in my field back in '23. Took some doin' to wheel it over here, damn near wore out my Kubota because the landing gear was shot, but turns out those things drag pretty well."
"Ummm....what things drag pretty well?"

But since they choose to fuck for tokens, I struggle to see why this should be off limits. She just has to convince a majority of voters that she is still the best candidate for the job.
I will vote for a candidate who fucks their spouse for money over a politician who will fuck over their constituents for money 100% of the time. Easy choice.

Just now, Doc Sam Beckett said:The Wagnerites are such fucking pussies. Your god was blown out of the sky and you did nothing. Now you whine about not being able to get a job flipping burgers at Burger King? Fuck you, you losers.
This. They were perfectly fine shooting and murdering Ukrainian civilians. How about you show just 1/10th of a testicle worth of fortitude, and shoot one of your REAL enemies: the Russian elite who used you and discarded you?
Until Russians start turning their guns away from Ukraine and towards Putin and his buddies, they will remain in a world of shit.

So, today was the grand opening of the first Popeye's in Scotland . . . still 20 mins away from the boy in central Glasgow, but he had the day circled on his calendar. His best friend has a car, so an excursion was organized.
As they pull up, the parking area is a madhouse -- drive-thru line out onto the street. But the boy is wearing a Popeye's baseball jersey (one of his Xmas gifts last year). His buddy motions over the Popeye's employee managing traffic, and points to the boy's jersey. They open the side gate, and let them around the traffic to park, like VIPs. They waltz inside.
The regional manager of Popeyes UK was there. He sees the boy in his jersey, asks him where he got it, and says hold on. Goes into the back, and comes out with a bag full of swag (free t-shirts and such) and some free food (biscuits and sides). He poses for a picture with the boy and his stuff. AND then, on top of the free grub, the boy got £30 worth of spicy fried chicken as well to share with his mates (gotta introduce the scots and limeys to real flavor).
Now, the boy did complain to the management about the fact that they do not offer RBAR as a side in the UK. And he said that the chicken tastes slightly different than here, but pretty damned close. He's excited because it will be a taste treat from home that he can get now.-

All right, I’ll be jumping on a plane in about two hours and touching down in Riga next day. Riga has become kind of a major hub for (real) dissident Russians and also of course a leader on Ukraine and countering Russian influence.
Will report back. It’s gonna be a nice feeling to be back close to the action.
I hope you get a latvia done.

Well, whatever comes of this, I hope Nathan Johnson gets a bump. Not sure if he's interested in a bigger statewide office. He's a family man. Someday, God willing, he may want to be Governor.
Nathan is a fantastic guy. Both he and his wife are old friends from law school, and I can't emphasize enough what outstanding human beings they are.
TLDR; they are much too good for Texas politics.

Is Marinara + Queso a thing? Because it damn well should be. Though it probably comes out pure liquid on the other end.

I bet it tasted like America and freedom and fireworks and landing on the moon and hot go-go dancers from the 60s and rock and roll and jazz and more America and more freedom.

Side note on that asshole (Andrew Tate) -- young people, including young women, know who Andrew Tate is, and what a POS he is. The boy has discovered (and he's not being manipulative in this respect, he really thinks Tate is a POS, especially after having had a falling out with one of his flatmates last year who was a Tate disciple and not shockingly turned out to be a pathetic asshole) that girls know all about Andrew Tate. AND, if you let a girl know you think Tate is a POS....that immediately puts you in good standing with said girl, much improving your chances with her.
TLDR; Andrew Tate indeed can help young men score, just not the way he thinks he does.

Man....I wish HEB offered cable and internet service.
It remains the way that it was last time I looked at this -- choose from the best of mediocre options (as all of them have a major shortcoming or two, it seems). HEB wouldn't let me down....I mean, presuming they were open.

I've got a good friend who has serious health issues. One of them is lupus (it's never lupus, but in this case, it is), blood disorders that require regular transfusions, HIV, and just a myriad of chronic health problems. 61, lives alone, and until recently was cutting hair and pretty much-living paycheck to paycheck.
We became friends in AA, where people who would not ordinarily mix forge close friendships as part of the recovery journey. In our 12-year friendship, I've seen him help countless people get sober. Some of his health problems may be self-inflicted and related to addiction, but for at least 15 years, he has been a responsible, generous, upstanding, helpful person. I say this because he has been a net positive contributor in the world and isn't an entitled shit just looking for charity.
He has health insurance through the Ryan White Foundation, lives alone in an apartment with his dog, has no significant other, siblings, children, or other relatives. For about 4 months, I've been managing a go-fund-me to help pay his rent and expenses, but it's becoming clear he isn't returning to work anytime soon. And a small group of us are unable to support him financially, long-term.
I just left from visiting him in the ICU, and he is scared, helpless, and not in his right mind. And he is, for all practical purposes, alone in the world. I'm happy to visit and bring him groceries whenever possible, but Q4 ill be traveling extensively and working long hours.
Tomorrow I plan on calling a disability lawyer on his behalf and consulting with some social worker friends to explore agencies and programs that might provide sustainable services for his care. And I may end up calling Adult Protective Services at DFPS as he is quickly becoming incapable of making his own decisions.
I'm posting this here to get input on something I might be missing. Anyone have any ideas?
You're good people, BS, and I definitely owe you a (non-alcoholic) drink at some point soon.
Definitely check with the hospital's patient advocacy group, and see if they can connect you to a social worker directly. They may also have contacts with the city or county.
I wish I knew better connections. And I know you already know this, but one of the things that is hardest to make peace with (and you must) is the fact that you can't save everyone. But I also know you'll move heaven and earth to save this one. And that fucking matters. Thanks for that.

It was a damned fine memorial. John's path crossed the paths of quite a few different types of folks from many arenas but, as is the way with his family, the music world is where his path wandered the most. So, the Continental Club was a fitting place to have a memorial. I was there. I'm a lawyer. I was the only person wearing a jacket over a button down shirt (even I was smart enough not to wear a tie). Drove to Houston and back, just for the day. Not a bad drive, and a good chance for us to just visit with each other, and be.
The energy was right. It was a celebration, and it was sad. It was hardest for those who loved him most and still do. And yeah, the musical tributes were spot-on. Yeah, there was a song that John had helped write, in smart-ass ironic form, called "Don't Stop Bereavin'" -- it got the requisite amount of laughs.
And Steve Earle proved again, in an actually understated, real, and personal way, why he's one of the great American storytellers....and he reminded us that John was one of those too. He and John have a life-long history together. And it broke his heart to lose John to the same disease that he has; he specifically mentioned his survivor's guilt. For the last number he sang, he started off telling us that he believes in God - he's not a Christian, mind you, but he believes. And that the core truth is that we are family, we are all in this together with each other. He told the crowd about how we all walk together. And then he sang Pilgrim:
QuoteI am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
This aint never been my home Sometimes the road was rocky long the way, boys
Sometimes the road was rocky long the way, boys
Sometimes the road was rocky long the way, boys
But I was never travelin alone Well meet again on some bright highway
Songs to sing and tales to tell
But I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
Until I see you fare thee well Aint no need to cry for me, boys
Aint no need to cry for me, boys
Aint no need to cry for me, boys
Somewhere down the road youll understand Cause I expect to touch his hand, boys
I expect to touch his hand, boys
I expect to touch his hand, boys
I'll put a word in for you if I can Well meet again on some bright highway
Songs to sing and tales to tell
But I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
Until I see you fare thee well I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
Until I see you fare thee well I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
Until I see you fare thee wellAs he strummed the last notes, my wife leaned forward, and in her pastor-speak, commented to me "that'll preach."
We were also able to see some old, old friends, and visit and tell stories, because that's what you do. Shit, the memorial reminded me -- clubbed me over the head, actually -- that we are our stories. In the end, we are our stories.
And storytellers, truly great storytellers, are the ones who make us immortal. John was one of those storytellers. And I was glad to hear the other real storytellers there, telling his story again.
Fare thee well, John.-

NPR in Dallas had a segment this morning from Collin County where they asked a local R bigwig about what it meant. She straight out said that the House Rs voting for impeachment from Collin County are going to get primaried. But the main take away from the article is that only a small number of people are paying attention at all to politics. So the apathy is a killer. That's the space that minority tyrants grow in.
Bingo.
1 hour ago, FirstTimeCaller said:Yeah, if there is a "civil war" in the party, I don't see how the far-right side of the party doesn't come out on top. They are the ones that really care to vote in primaries, get people organized, and get out the vote. I gotta think they are going to be much more enthused than the random guy who likes low taxes and didn't realize until he sees it on the news that today was the day to go vote in the primary.
And Bingo again.
We're going to see a GQP civil war. It will cause some carnage, but mostly, it will solidify the GQP as the party of nutbar christofascism, and the apathy and uneducated nature of the electorate (I gotta vote Republican, I'm a Texan who has guns and I cain't vote for communism and high taxes!) will ensure they are the controlling party for the foreseeable future.
Imagine how bad it's going to get in Texas. Nope. It's going to be a LOT worse than that.

Black Texas teen told to cut his dreadlocks to walk at graduation

He should be suspended for having a hairstyle that makes him look like a peckerhead.
Then again, I suspect he'd look like a peckerhead regardless of hairstyle.
