A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
Calling Trump a student of anything implies that he has taken an interest in something besides himself, and spent time and energy attempting to learn something new. It's an insult to the thousands of pre-K students across the nation who are hard at work shitting their pants and picking their noses.

I think taunting is fun and should be allowed, excepting an injured player.

Surly Dad Thread
Daycare, Take 2 is going much better for our now 16 month-old. We made it about 2 days into the first attempt before feeling like we had to pull him due to seeming staffing and communication issues. He's almost through the first week at his new place and feeling much more at ease. Definitely worth the 3 month delay to feel better about where he's at.

Birding
Finally got out unencumbered by baby or dog and spent a few hours out at Granger Lake. Not huge numbers of fall migrant shorebirds and waders, but there were some decent finds, including a flock of avocets, a number of both black-bellied and American golden plover, a buff-breasted sandpiper, stilt sandpiper, and this little Merlin, waiting for an opportunity.

Living in Santa Fe, NM
CSB, I almost moved to SF for at least 16 months for my wife's clinical rotations. I was very much looking forward to wandering around the mountains and skiing while she was preoccupied with school. At the last minute, they decided they no longer wanted Greenspoint-style nursing students. We were instead sent to beautiful Decatur, Texas, where some friendly neighbors wrote racist shit on our cars and drextras. So I can't speak much to NM (10,000 waves was still there and still awesome in 2019), but I would advise avoiding the Fort Worth exurbs.

RFK Jr. off the chain and off his rocker
There's been a single presidential yard sign in my Round Rock neighborhood for months, and it's for RFK Jr. It really would be glorious if the crazies help to save us from ourselves in 2024.

Cross-post from climate thread. Can we just turn off our lights when not using them? It's not hard. Window strikes of single Chicago building kill 1,000 birds in one night

Statewide Propositions and Other Election Talk, 2023
Didn't see a thread on this. I would love to see commentary on the props in particular, from people who know more than I do.

The Climate thread
Speaking of light pollution... Bird window strikes in Chicago How hard is it for businesses to turn off their lights when closed, at least during migration, but really all the time?

Don’t fuck around, go win the Big 12
Feeling surprisingly zen after that gut-wrenching loss. It always sucks to lose ot ou, but it's a pretty big fucking wake-up call and we get an extra week to get our minds right. A second loss changes everything, but barring a miraculous season by WVU, this just gives us ammunition for the sweetest revenge in the B12 title game

I don't know, I already see a 90 creeping back into my 7-day. I'll be damned if I'm going to let that slide in mid-October without bitching about it.

Hilarious that the Pac12 is the best conference in their final year of existence. These teams look like trash.

On Cover 3 they said that the contract does terminate... but there is nothing preventing them from writing up a new one.

Would be cool if maintaining a livable planet was considered as valuable as insuring someone can turn a profit for any green initiatives.

I think it's about time to do away with historical averages and just go by averages over the last decade. At least our expectations will be lowered.
