Perpetual I-35 construction hell for SA/Austin/Round Rock/Georgetown
In a related question--how is every major interchange in the state under construction all at the same time? It's amazing how I drive around, and there are these massive ramps that will run two miles long from an interchange being built. Why? And many of these interchanges are pretty new. I just don't get it.

Tariff wars, they have began
So we lost the Tariff War in less time than it took Iraq to lose the ground war in the first Gulf War? Sounds about right.

The Worst Trade in NBA History: Luka traded for AD
And good luck getting a free agent to sign in Dallas in the future now that they know how ownership is going to treat them.

In Antiquity, the Romans regarded Scandinavia as the “womb of peoples”—the place of origin of so many Germanic tribes that migrated south to cause the Romans difficulty along their frontiers. In much the same way, I regard Minnesota as the “womb of washed-up defensemen who can’t reasonably contribute as Top-4 blue-liners.”

The Worst Trade in NBA History: Luka traded for AD
That’s the only way this makes sense to me—as the preliminary step in engineering a move that Dallas as a city and fan base would be fine with in the expectation that Dallas would quickly get a replacement.

We need to normalize switching professional-franchise loyalty. I did it when Cuban sold the team and reverted back to my childhood Spurs loyalty. You can, too. You don’t owe the Mavs shit. And if they’re going to decide to be shitty (and probably be shitty in Vegas), who stick with them?

Generic Hockey Player is consistently the funniest voter going because it is such a dead-on-balls-accurate impersonation of Jamie Benn. Like, it really might be Jamie Benn calling in.

Credit here for the display of a modicum of self-awareness. It's oddly refreshing in an internet discussion.

That'd be a DEI inclusion. And we don't play that anymore.

AA flight 5342 Crash Media Circus Thread
In complete fairness--and I really can't believe you're making me stick up for Ted fuckface Cruz--it's only five slots. And the slots haven't yet been activated. So Cruz's advocacy for five additional slots didn't have anything to do with this crash. Goddamnit--now I need a fucking shower.

American Airlines flight 5342 (CRJ) collides with Army UH-60 at DCA.
I mean, a chance? Sure. But not terribly likely I wouldn’t think. Much more likely a pilot fuck-up.

Yeah—there’s just no fucking way we’re ever closing DCA.

Worldwide Israel/Palestine War Protests Thread
My son is a sophomore. He's a good student. I mean, real good. He has a GPA that's north of 4.0 at Westlake. At the same time, he's not the valedictorian or anything like that. So I was surprised when I got home yesterday and saw a promotional mailer to him from Columbia. I mean, I didn't know an Ivy League school sent out mailers to high school students. I mean, no Ivy League school ever sent any promotional materials to me when I was in high school. But anyway--and not to take anything away--I couldn't help wonder whether this had something to do with Columbia having been a shitshow for the past year. I don't know what their application numbers look like, but I wonder if they haven't seen a material decrease.

My father died last night.
I'm going to tell you what--if this law thing doesn't work out, Brisket could have a future as a professional ghostwriter of eulogies. That was beautiful, man.

Pretty remarkable how right around the rest of the world we manage to blow dry our hair in the bathroom without electrocuting ourselves. We must all be goddamned supermen.- London
I took your suggestion and am at the Edition, and you're right that the location is perfect. But this is now the second Marriott property I've stayed at in or hear Soho (the other being the W a couple years ago), and in both instances there are no electrical outlets in the bathroom. So I have to go out to the entry hall to find a place where there is an outlet near a mirror. What the fuck is up with that?- Abbott being Abbott
Do what I do--don't re-register your car. Seriously. I'm white. I haven't registered my car since 2020. Guess who gives a fuck? NOBODY!- The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
There's no real story. Counties govern themselves, and the Constitution prohibits the Legislature from "regulating the affairs of counties, cities, towns, wards or school districts." Tex. Const. art. III, sec. 56. So in kinda the same way that Congress cannot have a law that applies only to Alabama, the Constitution does not permit the Legislature to legislate for each individual county. So the Legislature gets around that through inventive definitions typically tied to population and/or geography. And yes--they do go in once every ten years and have a housekeeping bill to update those population numbers. But I don't know whether they're going to have a housekeeping bill to update the name of the Gulf of Mexico. For my part, I'm not saying shit about it. Until one day, when it benefits a client. At some point, I'm definitely filing a summary-judgment motion saying "this law doesn't apply to my client because there ain't no thing as no Gulf of Mexico, you America-hating libtard." - Tottenham Hotspur 2024-25
