2025 ACL
I mean, look. It was Mothers' Day. I had gotten Mrs.LL flowers but nothing else. And her teenaged children typically had their heads up their asses. So they had done an inadequate job of prepping for Mothers' Day. And Mrs.LL expressed her excitement over this slate (particularly Doechii and Doja Cat) during brunch. Add to that the fact that I've never been to ACL, but I think I'd hate it. Hot. Crowded. And crowded with sweaty people. With outdoor toilets--not my jam. But even so, we're not going to live in Austin that much longer. And I kinda feel like I've got to go to ACL once. Just to do an Austin thing. Is that a long way to say that I now have Platinum tickets for ACL Fest? Yes. Yes, it is.

The old-man energy on this thread is really entertaining.

Goddamn—Vegas was fucking done. And in 30 seconds they score 2 to tie the game and suddenly have hope in this series.

Generic. Peace. Build bridges. Kinda what you'd expect.

I'm waiting patiently by the phone for it to receive a call from Rome any minute.

Benn looked like absolute dogshit last night. Apart from a terrible penalty, he had a bad give-away in the defensive zone that ended up in the back of our net for their second goal. He was really sub-par. I didn't realize that this is a contract year for him and that he's a UFA after this year. I really don't know what we do about that.

Why do you hate sports drama?- The Dallas Stars 2025 Playoff Thread
Just waaaay too many turnovers on the defensive zone right now.- The Dallas Stars 2025 Playoff Thread
Between the weird sound mixing and the low-energy announcers, this is the worst game presentation I’ve ever seen for an NHL game.- The Dallas Stars 2025 Playoff Thread
I mean, it's a video . . . for a hockey team . . . in Winnipeg. So I really don't know what I was expecting. But even so--that's the whitest goddamned thing I've ever seen. And I fucking went to Highland Park High School. And SMU Law. So I've seen some white goddamned shit in my day.- Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body in Congress? Oh you mean Marjorie!
With Kemp announcing that he's not running for Senate, it's now highly likely that Greene will. And if she runs, she'll win the primary. She's probably the worst possible candidate the Trumpublicans could run, so that's a nice little bit of news.- The Dallas Stars 2025 Playoff Thread
Thanks for posting that. I've never seen video of Josh and Razor during the game, and that's really fun. I didn't realize they were so close to the fans (Josh even giving a fist-bump after a goal). And Razor so sedate is really kind of weirding me out.- Mansfield School Board vote
Yeah, but Eanes lost a good school-board member to a lunatic MAGAt. Now, in fairness, the MAGAt did a real good job of hiding her lunacy. And Eanes is having to deal with a real tough budget situation, which has pissed off a lot of people who are not accustomed to being told that they can't have everything they want. So it was a little bit predictable. But still--it's disconcerting.- 2025 NHL Playoffs Thread - Let the madness begin!
Yes, yes—20 overtimes!- The Dallas Stars 2025 Playoff Thread
Thought we were done. Really did. The building was dead, and then Mikko woke it up with that first goal. For the third goal, it was almost as loud as Reunion.- Texas Rangers 2025: Pitching has been fire. Bats not so much.
This team can’t even get the ball out of the infield right now.- Austin Fine Dining - Anniversary Dinner recs
Glad it worked. I really love Pesce. The menu is maybe my favorite in town. I mean, any menu that has sweetbreads on it is going to be pretty high on my rankings. The chef always comes out to check on each table. The waitstaff is really very good. And the bar frequently has quite a lot of talent. Fuck--maybe I'll show up there tonight.- The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
No--I'm sorry, but fuck him. He came into my country, availed himself of its openness, opportunity, and kindness. And while doing so, actively worked to undermine all those things. He came here and stanned for a guy who tried to violently overthrow the government of the United States. He openly supported a guy who promised to undermine the Constitution, carry out vendettas against his political opponents, and eliminate the rule of law. He's an enemy of the United States. He has campaigned to destroy the country I love and that my forefathers helped build. And if he dies in the deepest darkest hole El Salvador has to offer, then it'll be precisely the death he deserves.- Texas @ Arkansas Series Thread

I mean, we're firing Justin Viele immediately after this game, right?- Lake Travis 2024: Countdown To Zero
Beyond the cost is the small matter of getting an interbasin transfer. The water in Lake Lavon is owned by the North Texas Municipal Water District. Even assuming NTMWD would sell some of that water to LCRA (Hint: it wouldn't), it'd have to get a permit from TCEQ to transfer that water from the Trinity River Basin to the Colorado River Basin (somehow skipping over the Brazos). That permit wouldn't be forthcoming because, among other people, Houston would pitch an absolute fit because that would mean less water going into Lake Livingston. So no--forget about it.- Awful Texas foodways
Oh, look--I understand the economics of it. It's part of the death of rural America. There's a great leaving-behind. People who have the intelligence and wealth to leave have done so. And that leaves behind a poorer, less intelligent, and generally older group. And that's not a group that is clamoring for quality ingredients or preparation. It's a big change for 30 years ago. And its indicative of other societal changes that are reflected in a whole variety of things that you wouldn't necessarily think about if you're coming from urban or suburban Texas.- Prairie View A&M @ Texas - 6:30 pm on SECN+
