What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
I’d at least like we know what kind of upgrade we could get at $1.2m…

Colin Allred, doing what nobody asked
Also, not to go full Lobo but George P was there, too, as long as we’re talking about shit political instincts.

Colin Allred, doing what nobody asked
I just heard him speak a month or so ago and I don’t think he wants it or has the base level political aptitude needed in the modern MAGA media environment. Plus he’s making bank serving on boards (he mentioned Lazard several times) and the bullshit to income is FAR better than mixing it up with Paxton and then feigning obeisance to Schumer. That said, more the merrier in the primary, imo.

Haha, I was waiting for someone to start commenting on the redesign. Gemini just made this one in three seconds for free: Or this one if you're feeling weird. or this one if you want to find out how fast Bellmont's attorneys can draft a cease and desist.

TMJ/jaw pain
I received a TMJ diagnosis last fall and tried Botox without success (they should it into the jaw muscles in the hope they will be less activated). Now I’m using a dentist made mouth guard and it appears to have worked, though it took about a month of wearing it before the results were noticeable.

Report: 14 billion dollar deal for Bullet train from Houston to Dallas is done
Yes, I’ve lived in San Antonio and I would definitely not call it Europe, you’re correct it has its own issues.

No way, go to Europe. They are awesome to hop between major cities. I’m half-joking, but I’ve said for years that San Antonio should offer to pay the cost of building one to Austin so they can capture tech overflow and weekender-type tourists.

All Encompassing Investment and Financial Planning Thread for the Surly 99.5%
Hah, my wife was just talking about this last week and is now convinced we need to start a business. It is helping her obsess less over the frequency of my visits to Taco Deli, thankfully.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
I’m ill-equipped to apportion blame, but one certainty is fucking Jeff Howe isn’t a good resource for football X and O’s. He’s only one level up from Ketch.

Texas -- a failed state
Look, anyone that is subscribing to Ken Paxton’s Twitter feed is sufficiently divorced from reality that they will never, ever blame a Republican.

He actually looks like he’s turning into Bobby.

Trump’s America
When I see people put Joe Manchin on blast it always makes me think of this quote, which I think describes him better.

Bourbon
I saw Bobby’s shout-out to Bingham Bourbon-has anyone tried it and is it any better than as a novelty?

Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
If this was Shawn Dubin’s last time out as an Astro I’d like to pour one out for him. Small school, high strikeout artist, coming off 2021 he looked like he’d be a key piece in a good bullpen. They probably looked at him and thought, “he could be our new Brad Peacock”, and despite innings in which it clicked and he could be absolutely unhittable, more often he couldn’t command his pitches and grooved fastballs for home runs. I’d probably have tried to keep him over Ort but I’m guessing at 29 and as a righty, he is what is and that’s pretty fungible. He’s a good example of mixed results in a pitching laboratory that also produced Brown and Valdez and who also took a few seasons to shine.

Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
This might be true, but I’m not ready to pillory him for seeing three starters and Dubin coming off the DL and knowing that they need to be worked in. I think there’s clearly some other issues, though, like if a recovering starter can’t give you three innings, why are they on the ML roster.

Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
So Eric Longenhagen is the main prospect writer for Fangraphs ever since Kiley McDaniel got promoted to espn and Kevin Goldstein was hired by the Twins, and he fashions himself a swing scout above everything else. He really likes Melton for some reason unsupported by statistics, not enough for him to be a star but to be outstanding if you can figure out a platoon role for him. Personally, I tend to hate baseball players with a shit hit tool unless they draw lots of walks, regardless if they are awesome at everything else.

He’s getting DFA’d when he comes off the DL.

Alien TV series. Hawley. FX.
I’m really interested in what Hawley plans to do with him, because you don’t cast Olyphant to play 2nd lead and then make a heel turn when that’s already been done twice in previous Alien films.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
I get this guy is a painter, but it's quite a thing to be so taken with a social media app devoted to the written word and yet be illiterate.

The Democratic Party
Just wanted to highlight this part because I 100% agree. I also think it points to a long term problem because Trump won’t live forever and we’ll put the pandemic malaise further into memory. Unregulated social media, however, is a rot that seems immune from regulation.

Nope, we don’t know yet. Clearly they have held it back for a big reveal. I chortled 🤭

The Democratic Party
Sorry to pick on you, but stellar is a high bar and I think digging into this is a good way to interrogate how we got here. What legislative success made your life better? Which of Biden’s foreign policy successes improved your life? Not to Beetlejuice @Brian Fantana, but do you think his handling of Israel was stellar? Ukraine? Bear in mind, I’m not trying to be silly about this, there’s ample reason to appreciate basic competency and decency and Biden possessed both. I do feel like some have been a little quick to exaggerate Biden’s virtues, not terribly unlike we did in the 2004 election when everyone was exhausted with Bush, felt mezzo-mezzo on Kerry, and put the Clinton years on a pedestal.
