  1. Yeah, it doesn't matter now that Daily Texan has been revamped into Wellstone Memorial 2.0 infinite. Notice that in the lass 24 hours imma has threatened to ban 2 of the very few posters who bother to regularly debate and confront the CR echo chamber? Never let a crisis go to waste mode, I guess. I gave IV some rep to try and help him last longer. I see that Penelope has been serial negging a lot of his posts. That was supposedly against the rules, but as usual, Democrats are often exempt. Because, ya know, its another 'This issue is really too important." Permaban for taking one of CR's favorite techniques and using it against the CR narrative.
  2. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/gunman-was-bullied-as-a-child-grew-increasingly-violent-friends-say/ar-AAXGVUt The gunman in Tuesday’s elementary school massacre was a lonely 18-year-old who was bullied over a childhood speech impediment, suffered from a fraught home life and lashed out violently against peers and strangers recently and over the years, friends and relatives said...
  3. https://abcnews.go.com/US/texas-elementary-school-reports-active-shooter-campus/story?id=84940951 ...Sources said that the gunman first shot his grandmother at a separate scene. Authorities initially said the grandmother was killed but later said she was in critical condition... ...The suspect was immediately engaged outside the building as he approached the school by a Uvalde Independent School District police officer, who was shot by the suspect, the sources said. After that, the suspect entered the school, barricaded himself in a classroom and allegedly opened fire, killing 18 students, who were mainly third- and fourth-graders, as well as one teacher, the sources said. There, he traded gunfire with Uvalde ISD officer and Border Patrol Tactical Unit agents, a number of whom have children who attend the school, according to the sources. The Border Patrol agents responded to a law enforcement request for assistance. Investigators are going through ballistics to determine who fired the shot that killed the suspect. A fourth-grade student who was inside the school at the time described the horror of the shooting in an interview with ABC News. He said the students heard banging on a window and then the teacher saw the shooter. "She said, 'Oh, my God, there's a there's a gun.' And then she she said it was like a big one like that a big gun -- she said, hurry up and get on the floor," the student recounted. "We just hear all kinds of gunshots going off, like nonstop, like constantly gunshots. And then we're over here all scared. What -- on the ground fearing for our lives..."
  4. Maybe consider selling it to Elon Musk instead?
  5. Outdoors, so could have been an even worse slaughter. But it looks like it was at an earlier time yesterday morning than when he went today. Or maybe after missing it he decided to just go after the elementary school today (softer target than the HS.) Anyway, poignant images:
  6. Reporter quotes a neighbor that knew the scumbag's grandma, saying the loser was angry that he wasn't going to graduate high school (others on Twitter say he wasn't going to be allowed to walk at graduation):
  7. Still not clear that there was an actual chase of the truck before it crashed at the school.
  8. https://apnews.com/article/uvalde-texas-school-shooting-b4e4648ed0ae454897d540e787d092b2 UVALDE, Texas (AP) — An 18-year-old gunman opened fire Tuesday at a Texas elementary school, killing at least 18 children as he went from classroom to classroom, officials said, in the latest gruesome moment for a country scarred by a string of massacres. The assailant was killed by law enforcement. The death toll also included three adults, according to state Sen. Roland Gutierrez, who said he had been briefed by state police. But it was not immediately clear whether that number included the attacker... ...The gunman, who was wearing body armor and had hinted on social media of an upcoming attack, crashed his car outside the school and went inside armed, Sgt. Erick Estrada of the Texas Department of Public Safety told CNN. He killed his grandmother before heading to the school with two military-style rifles he had purchased on his birthday, Gutierrez said. “That was the first thing he did on his 18th birthday,” he said. Officials did not immediately reveal a motive, but the governor identified the assailant as Salvador Ramos and said he was a resident of the community about 85 miles (135 kilometers) west of San Antonio. A Border Patrol agent who was working nearby when the shooting began rushed into the school without waiting for backup and shot and killed the gunman, who was behind a barricade, according to a law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk about it. The agent was wounded but able to walk out of the school, the law enforcement source said....
  9. So what exactly are they guarding? Wampum? Or like parental guardians?
  10. Had a tornado and now a warning for hail up to baseball size for Glasscock County.
  11. Gets close as it really gets going 2 minutes in, then ends with Close Encounters:
  12. I'm having trouble finding it in paperback. Anyway, update: He also had norketamine in him.
  13. Dang, the Guardians are on the warpath.
  14. And tracking towards Tceh (but still 40 miles away) Another view: (Parents should be horsewhipped for spelling it with a 'Kh'...)
  15. Jan McDowell for Congress is a bit voice, yes?
  16. Watch a lot and follow some in off season: 1. Astros & Horns football 2. Oilers (been on hiatus a really long time now...starting to think they might be as dead as Joel Buchsbaum...he was must listen radio back in the day) Mild interest: 3. Horns baseball 4. TCU football 5. Any underdog of the moment, especially in college fb, small market teams in the pro's. Except for UT, I've always hated the blue blood/dominants/dynasties. Screw the Yankees, Dodgers, Bama, Ohio St, Patriots, etc. (Sorry, Cowboys, you haven't really been a dynasty for 25 years now...) I want upsets. ESPN insisting on a NY/Boston/LA or Chicago team in every Sunday Night Baseball game insures that I never watch if the Astros aren't playing. A few events each year: Always the Masters but rarely any other golf; College World Series & regionals/supers; Daytona, Talladega, Phoenix, and a few other NASCAR races as background noise; maybe some March Madness until the likeable teams are gone. Life is too short.
  17. A leading adviser to the World Health Organization described the unprecedented outbreak of monkeypox in developed countries as “a random event” that might be explained by sexual behavior at two recent raves in Europe. Dr. David Heymann, who formerly headed WHO’s emergencies department, told The Associated Press that the leading theory to explain the spread of the disease was sexual transmission among men at raves held in Spain and Belgium. Monkeypox has not previously triggered widespread outbreaks beyond Africa, where it is endemic in animals. “We know monkeypox can spread when there is close contact with the lesions of someone who is infected, and it looks like sexual contact has now amplified that transmission,” said Heymann. (formerly Heymann-Wudjabloeme before the divorce)
  18. Some good news and maybe not so good news:
  19. Stat from the Rangers' broadcast: Astros are 4th worst in runs scored with 2 outs.
