  1. Baked in that Kamala would win this round. Now comes the tough part.
  2. Instant reaction: Kamala is doing pretty good so far.
  3. He's starting to freak out! Her response: Your mom had weird hair!
  4. Rapist and murderer Mexicans taking jobs from some of them are good people Mexicans.
  5. If I accidently fall asleep, someone please post the following for me in 100 minutes: "The Aristocrats!"
  6. Help a non-soccer person out. But is this the most fucking indirect group of players we've ever had on one team? Christ almighty.
  7. Wife's been screaming obscenities at Ricardo Pepi for the last 45 mins. Won't chill out around here for another hour.
  8. KH chillin' out with the ear buds, waiting for the start whistle.
  9. I remember back when I first started working and I was up in Marin County I told a friend who lived there that as soon as I made some money I'd move there and he indicated it would never get better than then and I should just dive in. I like the coastal area but with flooding and the fire hazard, doesn't seem like a great bet. But I'm getting so old my risk horizon is pretty narrow. I do wish the Texas Hill Country had taken a page from Marin and created trails in the hills and limited development on the higher elevation of said hills. San Antonio and Austin and the Texas Hill Country? Lot of land rape there. It doesn't sting so bad here in Dallas because most of the area isn't very pretty.
  10. Fuck that, make it a national park. Beautiful land needs to be as expensive as fuck.
  11. They call it democracy. I've been doing my meditation and mindfulness stuff lately, and you have to accept that people are just going to vote against your interest and their interest for the craziest and depressing reasons. The problem is American politics is not all based on "reactions". I know this is going to sound way off point, but I there was one particular World Cup where "watch party" reactions to Landon Donovan's goal all went viral. I remember thinking - who the fuck cares? Quit panning back to all these fat fucks jumping for joy and just show the goal. We've become a nation of people for some strange reason who are obsessed with the reaction and opinion of the rabble to things that actually happen. We don't have time to correctly analyze the underlying policy or incident because all our time is spent on caring what dumb shit MAGA people do, or what radical progressives do. Until people are starving, they are going to keep doing stupid stuff. And when they are starving, they are going to do especially stupid stuff. I don't know, I'm talking out of my ass, but I think it's a waste of time to worry about how others will vote or how stupid they are. I'm going to try not to add to that pile of useless criticism.
  12. Well at least there would be good food trucks camped out in the parking lot.
  13. Yeah, that giant polar bear looked fake.
  14. Belittling him will likely win the election with this electorate. I don't know why you would waste time highlighting the character of someone running against this piece of shit.
  15. Weird about my feelings for Texas. I didn't think much of it, and then went off to college in northern Cal and frankly didn't make the best of it. I came back to law school at UT and suddenly felt grounded, like I belonged. It was the Austin before Austin got big and it just seemed like everyone was on the same page and it was my page. Fast forward and I'm in Dallas and I am very fond of Dallas. I live near the lake and I bike on the trails so it feels like I'm outside a lot given the way the weather is getting. And the cooler neighborhoods in Dallas are great. I feel like it's my town, but the border to my town is pretty close in. But I feel a closer bond with Washington DC than I do with Garland or Plano or Allen. And really with any large city. With climate change alone, I'd move if I could. Keeping me here - the grandson in Allen, TX. I feel for you younger folks who still need to make your career and raise your families. I can see how it would really hurt to the state turning into something you didn't think it would. I don't hate the folks who more here because it's friendlier to what they believe in and not what I believe in. They need a place to be. But life is short, and there are nicer places to be. I'm okay with them changing the definition of what I thought it was to be Texan.
  16. Our planet is dying. Fuck these guys. We shouldn't be encouraging people to give birth. Encourage adoption. And citizenship for asian nerds if they immigrate her before they are 25. Because I do understand we have to keep our social security ponzi scheme going.
