    I really like Ezra Klein but this might be his worst idea ever. I’m happy to cede the “excitement” award to the ejaculatory mongoloids exiting the GOP convention. Give me sober and stable as long as that candidate can secure the electoral college.

    The, I think, Variety review said she’s a highlight in this. In agreement that after Godzilla I am a little skeptical.

    I unsubscribed to Barry yesterday. It’s cleansing.

    There was a rumor that there was some acrimony, but also Viacom made them a big offer to come build out a whole Avatar universe with multiple series and books to be produced. Clearly, as with Korra, they want to expand the size of the sandbox. I’m a little curious to see what gets made because they had assembled a dream team on the production side and everyone has gone on to do their own things. I wonder if they get a little over credited as writers, in particular.

    Now that you’ve been, what’s your food recs for Madrid? We’re spending a month there July-Aug with the kids.

    I’ve decided that Sour Duck needs to upgrade their fries game, especially for $4.

    When they do this she inevitably gets negative media coverage. She’s just not well liked because she’s weird, guarded, and more useful as a prop.

    While this may be true, I think elites within in the party have concluded that Harris versus the field is very messy and they want to kick that can down the road. In four years Trump is likely dead, in jail, or has lost the hold on the party as he gets bludgeoned financially and it’s a safer contest between whoever survives the Dem primary and who captures what’s left of the MAGA base.

    Horror

    LCHorn replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Books

    So I just finished this one, same author: The set up is fantastic-American couple buys an old house in a small, Sicilian mountain town with the intention of making a semi-permanent move. Unbeknownst to them, the house was previously owned by the Catholic Church and who had used it for predictable reasons. Unfortunately, that’s about as far as I can recommend it. It might be that I’m just spoiled by better writers, but the dialogue read like a high schoolers attempt at his first book; unlikeable protagonists, plot holes galore and the mythology goes mostly unexplored (and not in a good, “it’s better left to the imagination” way). That said, it’s the kind of book that could adapt easily to film and there would be the opportunity to correct most of the weaknesses. It also wouldn’t shock me if started out as a screenplay.

    I don’t think it’s that, we just have rivals that need more urgent attention. India appears be almost wholly unable to project strength outside its own borders (or chooses to not), while bad actors like Iran and China keep us engaged more deeply in the mid-East and needing to focus on our own domestic concerns, respectively (there’s a very good Politico article out today on Jake Sullivan and his role in articulating a post Reagan-Clinton-Bush era of “free trade” and democracy exportation-it makes the point that Chinese government subsidies for key industries have made it an unfair competition. That may be going on, too, in India, but I don’t think they are considered a peer threat to US business interests).

    I don’t think they are getting a pass-they haven’t ever been a reliable regional ally (that was Pakistan, although it’s always one of those “with friends like these…” relationships) and they are useful as a counter balance to Chinese power.

    Also, if you want to do my routine it will get you there fine-I run 30 minutes on Tuesday and Thursday and then do 5 miles or 60 min, whichever is longer on Saturday morning (I also do resistance workouts and I’m sure you’ll want to continue doing those, as well). Maybe once a quarter I will do 10 miles on Saturday (usually when the family is out of town). You can play with speed training (if you want) during the week and then just worry about the miles on the weekend run. Probably the biggest challenge for you is going to be to not add miles too fast (I.e., if you can only do 6 miles a week right now, trying to gut out 10 might be possible but it also might result in injury). That’s one reason why I’d suggest just running for time right now and not for miles. If you have to walk, that’s fine, too. It’ll help get your feet ready.
  13. LCHorn
    I think at your age you need to focus on adding mileage until you’re at 15-20 per week and then you can work on trimming time (tons of advice on the web for how to do that).

    What year is that from?

    Texas BBQ

    LCHorn replied to Washpark's topic in Food and Travel

    We ate there fairly recently on the way back to Austin from Houston. You’re far better off eating at Truth in Brenham if they are open. it was pretty ordinary and about as interesting as cue from a charity fundraiser.

    I do so enjoy the political ads that play like a bingo game of dog whistles as they pander to the kinds of people who make political decisions off 30 second commercials.
  17. LCHorn
    This, just shockingly poor judgment.

    As I was, I meant unemployment rate, not CPI,

    Hey man, I don’t want to start a nitpick battle on this but you’re mistaken and I’ve been told that by CDC himself. It’s his job to lead Texas athletics, period, and sometimes that’s working behind the scenes to organize stakeholders in a compliant way so that the athletes are supported. Obviously it wasn’t in his job description when he was hired. It’s clear that the arms race over the next decade isn’t going to be “who has the newest locker room?”, it’s going to be who best organizes a cohort of businesses and donors to provide consistent sponsorship opportunities. If an AD is holding up his hands proclaiming “not my job”, then that university is going to be behind those that feel otherwise.

    I know it’s not showing up yet in the CPI, but in the circles we run in there have been a LOT of recent layoffs. It’s made logging into LinkedIn a depressing experience.

    That’s a pretty old foursome if they intend for it to have sequels.

    Well, apparently the bum LB coaches in the NFL aren’t unlocking that talent, either.

    Haha, when I opened up my computer this morning and saw we were only down by 25 I exhaled a little. This later reprice was the point at which I started cursing.
  24. LCHorn
    I suggested to someone we float this morning so at least we'll all be impoverished together.
  25. LCHorn
    I think it will show up more in retention.
