  1. Yea, seems divorced from reality, but hey-- we all need hope. Live look from inauguration:
  2. Gonna be? Already did. BP too. Underwood just nailed that acapella.
  3. Don't tempt Nic Cage with a National Treasure IV script!
  4. It sounds like we are going to bully soverign nations who can't defend themselves. Taking the canal back from Panama is like being a senior and taking a 3rd graders lunch money. Despicable, but I don't think there would be a hot war longer than 5 seconds.
  5. I mean, it's crazy how he's been white-washed and does T-mobile commercials and is the American envoy to the Olympics (2024). I questioned that as well and the best I could fathom was that Gen-X nostalgia and amorality did this.
  6. Back pay and reinstatement for those who were dismissed in the military for not wanting the covid vax. Talk about winning a low-probability parlay bet for those who wouldn't get it.
  7. Like HW told Bill Clinton, You will be our President when you read this note...Your success now is our country's success." Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst....
  8. In this sense where grift is allowed I get it but to your overarching point get real dude-- the SEC puts forward a securities fraud case daily. Just last week Capital One got hit and that was gray area. Tell me you are not employed in the banking or F&A sector without telling me.
  9. Trump's speech being outrageous right in front of Joe and Kamala is insane.
  10. Like anything, it's just a spectrum of the agency problem I guess. I mean, I disagree and don't like it, but I'm not going to do anything about it or care more than just notate it on a messageboard.
  11. It's been pretty good. I think I prefer the rotunda/indoors than the traditional outdoors. I can follow it better and it looks really stately. They should do this moving forward. Probably better for security as well.
  12. Right, I get it. I was commenting how I don't like it.
  13. Wait, now Snoop is performing at Trump's inauguration? This guy will do anything for a buck, won't he?
  14. I'm more appalled that moderna/pfizer, etc. got legal immunity for something that was quasi-mandated to put in your body more than the preemptive pardons. I think the pardons was smart and good.
  15. Man, Kamala is tough. She's had to deal with the election loss more than most due to her being the sitting VP. She can't just get out of the public eye and not be a part of all the cermonies (state funerals, this inauguration, etc.) where she has to be in the same room as Trump a lot.
  16. “Profit-takers vote D and R” - LeBron James, probably.
  17. Call their bluff. If they think they are so high and mighty that their precious little children can't go to school with BIPOCs, then why don't they put their mouth where their money is and cut a fat tuition check? Oh because, they can't! They are more closely like those "others" they purport to be better than then they are the rich. I'm reminded of this quote, "I'm closer to LeBron, than you are to me" - Brian Scalabrine Keller is closer to poor than they are rich. So split that plum, dog.

  19. P.F. Chang’s downtown Austin on like 4th street was my go to date night in the 90’s. Then did the Chang’s at North Park in Dallas in early aughts. Havent been to one in 20 years but Pei Wei has sucked for the entire time I’ve never known about them and every time I’ve gone.
  20. As of this past fall, no. But this next follow up I think so.
  21. I'm old and fragile. Fragile as in I don't have clearance from my doctor(s) to work out with weights due to bone density issues and some other medications that make injury more likely and risky if I do get hurt. That said, my goal this year is to get clearance to start working with weights again. My doctor said he's aiming for May timeframe for me. This would be good because I've atrophied a ton of muscle and gained a ton of fat. I have a very long road ahead of me and it can feel overwhelming and daunting to be honest. I guess, also, be grateful if you are healthy enough to even GET to go to the gym and do resistence and weights.
  22. My wife and I were talking about how in just a few short years (okay 5+ now I guess since right before Covid and accelerating during Covid) we have a 3 and 5 year old grandkids who don't know what it is like to go inside stores and go shopping. Everything is use the mobile app and have them load it up for you in the loading parking spot or delivery. I think they can probably count on their hands how many times they've been inside a store, which is crazy because it was the only option we had raising kids.
  23. Filed during the Trump administration, but the Linda Khanniness of it all (divestiture, forced selling, etc.) will fall away in about 3 or 4 days.
  24. That's a real article and headline, innit?
