What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Looks like the Lost Creek disannexation proposition is going to pass by just a smidge.

The Dallas Stars 2024 Playoffs Thread
I think Hill is the better goalie. And he has a proven track record of being able to lead a team to a Cup. Thompson has a good bit. A lefty gives shooters an entirely different look. But it's pretty apparent that the Stars figured out that he has a big hole up near his left ear. And once the Stars figured that out in Game 4, he looked a lot less effective.

That storm is moving slowly right down the river. It’s really just perfectly spotted.

Maybe the thinking is that it’ll only get worse?

Brexit shenanigans
Lot of rumbling on the soc that the PM is going to call a General Election on Monday. If that happens, the election would be June 6.

So are we having a campus-wide strike tomorrow?

I mean, when you've lost Mark Davis, . . . .

Well, between his response to Covid and his handling of the electric grid, he's definitely killed far more Texans than Santa Anna ever did.

Yep. Frankly, if the students don't call a general strike after this, then I've got no use for 'em.

Nah, man--that's not how this works. You don't email the Riot Act. You have to read the Riot Act to the rioting mob. Jesus--it's like these fuckers have never deployed the redcoats to carry out a massacre of citizens petitioning their government for redress or something.

What the fuck are you even talking about? Why am I asking? You don't even know what the fuck you're talking about. Your entire point--insofar as there is a point at all--is based on speculation and fantasies about "what is likely going on at Berkeley right now." I mean, fuck man--how about focusing on what is demonstrably going on right now on our campus instead of what you imagine to be happening thousands of miles away. And right now on our campus, our sons and daughters are being oppressed by the Governor's thugs so that he can look more MAGA than Ron Desantis.

[Not] good to see Jason Robertson in post-season form.

Texas Rangers 2024: Run It Back
Does it annoy me that Leclerc gets credited with the win? Yeah. Will I get over it? Yeah.

Oh, fuck--get him how now, Mike. He looks all fucked up.

I mean, don't worry Adolis--our bullpen can surely hold a one-run lead for a couple innings.

Dallas Stars 2023-2024 Season Thread
I gotta say, I think I'd prefer to play the Kings if for no other reason than I don't think we've ever had a playoff series against the Kings. And there aren't just a whole lot of Western Conference teams that the Stars haven't had a playoff series against at one time or another.

I would not want to play Detroit in the first round. They look like they may have some magic to them.

the 2023 speaker of the house voting thread of implosion
So do you have to hold a vote on the MTV first? Because right now, Johnson doesn't have enough votes to remain speaker without Democratic support.

Lake Travis 2024: Countdown To Zero
It is a prudent financial decision to lock down the capacity that a water utility is going to need at some point. Take-or-pay contracts of that nature are pretty common, because that's the only way reservoirs get built. A reservoir costs billions to build, and it's not going to be funded and built if you don't have guaranteed customers. SAWS doesn't really "pay for water that it's not using." When it needs that water, it really needs that water. So it pays for that water to be available when it needs it. if it doesn't need it, ok. But the water was available to SAWS and couldn't be used by anybody else. So it really was used by SAWS.

Concerts you are attending
I mean, I guess. If the show had started at 8:45 and had the arena been at a comfortable temperature, I think the show would've been ok. But when she doesn't start until 10:30 on a Sunday night and doesn't want the a/c turned on, it's kind of easy to be put into a foul mood off the bat. Probably half the songs she played were some serious B-side shit. I mean, I know all of Madonna's hits. And she has a lot. I'm from the 80s, goddamnit. But I didn't know a lot of the stuff she played (and judging from the crowd reactions, I wasn't alone). And then she had two 15- or 20-minute little soliloquies, where she was trying to be deep and thought-providing, but was just vapid and trite and dull. I mean, that's a lot of content to have to slog through to get her to sing the songs you showed up to hear her sing. When she does sing those songs, it's pretty entertaining. She's not much of a dancer anymore, but her backup dancers are entertaining. And the whole staging is often pretty cool. But on the whole, . . . meh.

We left around 1:15 or 1:20, and it looked like it was probably going to finish in the next 15 minutes or so. But yeah--I'm tired this morning.
