The Supremes
My wife was born in the US to a Korean non-citizen who was in the US for school, then immediately adopted. We live in Texas. Can anyone tell me how concerned we should be?

This Land Is Mine! public lands (NPS, BLM, NFS, etc.)
1.2 million acres today (plus weakened protections of 58 million additional acres with the rescinded roadless rule), NWRs, NFs and NPs tomorrow. I think anyone who lives in Texas and gives the tiniest shit about the outdoors would agree that more federal lands is preferable to our situation, where over 96% of the land is privately held.

Surly official camping and backpacking thread
I loved this hike. Went with the now-wife in 2016. We woke up early from the Eagle Creek Campground and did a total of about 12 miles out-and-back. Hardly saw anybody before our turn-around spot. There were at least a half-dozen waterfalls on that 6-mile stretch. I think there was a fire out there a year or two after we did it, so I'm curious how it looks now. It was incredibly green when we went.

Surly Dad Thread
The 3 year-old was watching a show about some Australian zoo. They showed a bilby (see below if you're marsupial-illiterate), which he referred to as a "bunny pig". Pretty spot-on observation, honestly.

Like the national forests? Go while they're still there.
There are hardly any locations in the lower 48 greater than 5 miles from a road. Can't wait for the Trump expressway over Crater Lake. Driving allllllll the way around is just such a hassle.

The Ten Commandments - coming to a Texas classroom near you!
I'm sure the people who have no problem with this would be totally cool with passages from the Quran or the Seven Tenets of Satanism adorning an elementary school classroom.

I've decided to dig a hole
This is one of those "great moments in Surly history" threads. But instead of a single post revealing a fetish, or posting a paystub, or analyzing hotel curtains and eliciting a day or two of hilarious responses, this one provides seemingly endless amusement and intrigue. Hats off to you and @mooseoutfront for two of the best ongoing threads on this website.

And that's what foreign policy is all about! Can't wait for a couple days of cool TV to carry us closer to football season!

Surly Dad Thread
The 3 year-old has suddenly started with the incessant "why" questions. He was also climbing all over me while I gave the baby a bottle this morning and when I told him he was being a distraction he said "I'm not being distraction, I'm being perfect."

Trump’s America
You know he's angrily name-dropping Hitler and the Kim's since his birthday party isn't as cool as the parades in their honor.

Trump’s America
Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of your enemies like a tank rolling down an empty street sounding like a poorly maintained huffy 10-speed.

Well, I'm horrified and shocked, but 0% surprised.

Crazy that this will be my 4th father's day, with a freshly turned 3 year-old and 8 month-old. My life has largely been stay-at-home dad since the first one came, and that period is likely coming to an end before long. Taking care of 2 little boys is not complicated, but it has been varying degrees of exhausting, rewarding, aggravating, joyous, boring, nostalgic, terrifying and ever-changing. I never missed babyhood with the oldest, since we always expected a 2nd and the he was never easy. But now that the 2nd is running out of days in the baby carrier attached to my chest, it's crazy to think that this period of our lives is almost over.- LA ICE protest escalation
I dropped a c-bomb to my wife regarding Nancy Mace today. I regretted it only because the 3 year-old was around and he's more than happy to imitate these days.- LA ICE protest escalation

S2E3 was unbelievably bizarre and hilarious. The finale was truly shocking. What a wonderfully convoluted journey to get to that ending.- 2025 Roland-Garros
Well, the first 2 sets were interesting.- The Last of Us coming to HBO
I just started the show. Thought I'd get a little high and enjoy some fun zombie shit. Didn't foresee getting emotionally gutted for an hour and a half. - Surly Dad Thread
