Epstein and Maxwell
Dude, nobody gives a shit if Clinton goes down because the Epstein Files expose him. But if he is the only one deemed worthy of not being redacted? Even you can find a couple brain cells to rub together and realize that is bullshit.

Birding
I did another Mini-Big Day in Round Rock Wednesday, from about 8-3. Not the greatest timing weather-wise, but I was able to manage 75 species. Highlights included a Great Horned Owl roosting in the daylight at my neighborhood park, a quick glimpse of a Sora in the reeds at Old Settlers Park and a suprise pair of Barn Swallows hunting insects over the pond, quite rare in winter. Lowlights were the complete absence of uncommon wintering birds, as well as scarcity of "common" wintering birds. This is the 2nd year in a row these birds have been way down. I'm blaming climate change.

Surly Dad Thread
Our eldest did not have a great first encounter 2 years ago. He's chill with Santa now, but even today if he spots the HEB Buddy, he lets out a bloodcurdling scream of sheer terror. This is nearly as frightening to anyone who might be sharing the self-checkout line at the time.

We hitting 80 on Christmas Day or what?- I for one welcome our new AI overlords
Bro, if we don't have AI how are we going to develop the technology to leave this planet when AI helps destroy it?- Twelve killed in shooting targeting Jewish community at Australia's Bondi Beach
PBS is fake news now? Which news sources are trustworthy? OAN?- Trump’s America
You may all be shocked to learn that I didn't see anyone else buying champagne at the Decatur, TX liquor store when I went to buy a bottle after Biden was declared the winner in 2020.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
Looks like I only forgot one scholarship player, outside of what the recent signing class has. Cunningham. Not a particularly inspiring group.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
What other scholarshib LBs are on the roster currently, besides Smith? Barnes, the Georgia freshman... I'm sure there are others but can't think of them off the top of my head. Obviously a big portal need at this point.- Trump’s America
It is really depressing that people don't give a shit about foreign policy, outside of an unpopular war. For the amount of good so many of these programs do, we should be happy to send the relatively minimal amount of money their way. But since we can't be bothered to give a shit about our own citizens, I guess it shouldn't be surprising that brown people on the other side of the world garner no sympathy. Fucking disgusting.- Shooting at Brown University
What a sad state of affairs that this comment makes sense in regards to US mass shootings.- Sherrone Moore's Michigan Meltdown - Staffers, Breakups, Extortion, Cover-Ups, Firings, Knives, Assaults, Breakdowns, Arrests
MAHA seems like a natural direction to continue the Big Red and food dye conversation. Totally not political, just 100% science-based and thus an acceptable detour. If Moore drank pure cane sugar coca cola instead of dye-laced fruit sodas, and if mama Moore didn't take so much goddamn Tylenol during pregnancy, would we even be here right now?- Trump’s America
Very reminiscent of wrestling my 3 year-old to school/bed when he's feeling especially defiant.- Trump’s America
"Only a non-white would start such racist dialogue, thus necessitating an equally racist response." -Stassney- Senate 2026
Who are Surlyites voting for in a Crockett vs. Talarico primary? I love Crockett, but lean toward Talarico having a better, albeit small, chance of winning a general. I may also be biased by living in R² and my wife being a huge fan of his, so curious what others think.- Well, just got hit and run
That sucks, Brisket. Good luck. My recent shitty driver story is someone passed me on the right in a parking lot as I was attempting to turn into a parking spot.- Trump’s America
There's a fucking horde of Apostolic Christians in western Minnesota who share my last name that will certainly vote for this man if he is the R candidate. Simple farmers, common clay of the new west kind of people.- Parker Livingstone
I'm not sure how they are at Ivy League Football, but those guys are the Walter Camp of American birding. Revolutionized the game. Respect.- Surly Dad Thread
The 14 month-old joins the 3 year-old at daycare next week, as I get ready to return to work at the end of the month. End of an era. It's been great spending so much time with the boys, but I am looking forward to interacting more with fully grow humans. When they are both home on Tuesday and Thursday I'm fighting for my life. Especially if the weather is shit. And while they have not walked in on us, the baby has impeccable timing with cries from his crib.- Job hunting - A different kind of happy ending
I ended up taking the job with my old boss. My wife should be able to tweak her schedule to get the kids to and from daycare. I'll be leaving home around 3:30 AM on Tuesday and returning around 9:00 PM on Wednesday for the next 6 months. At that point, my full privileges should be reinstated. If I survive that many hours on I-35 at night, that is.- Election Day 2025
Expected margin of victory for Van Epps slowly growing on NYT. Around 4 now.- Birding
Definitely an eastern phoebe. They're pretty common in central Texas and have very typical flycatcher behavior.- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Watching LSU vs OU is a painful experience. I don't recommend it.- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Why does Pitt beating Miami matter? ACC is only getting 1 in regardless. - Winter Weather 2025 - Arctic Blasts or Sweaty Ass?
