Had lunch at a soul food joint on 620. No idea how long it’s been there but it’s great. Catfish, okra, and yams. Pretty sure the hot sauce on the table is homemade too.

The Yogurt Shop Murders: HBO Max
It’s convenient that APD happens to link the murders to a guy who’s been dead for 26 years just weeks after the documentary showing their incompetence. Looking at the guy’s Wikipedia he was never west of Missouri until the DNA linked him to Austin. At the time of the murders, he was hopping between SC, TN, and GA.

One Battle After Another, the next Paul Thomas Anderson film
I enjoyed it quite a bit. I thought it was amusing that Leo’s character was like Indiana Jones in Raiders. Nothing he did mattered to the outcome of the story. Also, he didn’t really do anything but charge his phone.

- Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
I vaguely remember an account from one the women saying that the one time she saw Bill when the underage girls were brought out, he looked panicked and was ready to GTFO. I'm going to guess the way Epstein operated was that it was depended on the target. Maybe the first few times you went to the island, it was on the up and up. You got some alcohol, drugs, some adult pussy, etc. After a trip or two, that's when he plied you with the underage girls. It didn't matter if you fucked them or not. He then had the receipts of you being a regular kid fucking customer.- Mainstream media boycott

One data point they threw out there was that when Minneapolis consolidated their schools, they lost 35% of their students. Someone from AISD offhandedly mentioned an expectation of 10-15%. The issue with the Zoom meetings is that 99% of the participants only give a shit about the wall-to-wall dual language schools. I honestly didn't even know that was a thing. I wanted to just yell that shit won't even exist when TEA takes over so don't worry about it.- The destruction of America's public education system
My first guess would be that Pillow & Wooten would merge since they're both under enrolled and really close to each other. If you eliminate transfers, then Gullett & Brentwood fall within the ideal 85-95% capacity range. It seems like easy fixes for 4 schools. However, from the Dobie/Lamar meetings months ago, eastside activists were pretty insistent that white schools need to suffer. Gullett hasn't received any real construction money and is in terrible condition. Most classrooms are portables. They actually still use the very first portable AISD bought in the early '60s (the Speech portable). That is an extremely valuable piece of property and I would think developers have had discussions with them. I fear for Lamar also. That has to be some valuable land at Burnet/2222. Burnet and Dobie MS are right down the road. If you split the higher performing Lamar students to those campuses, it can lift them out of their F ranking. If students from the bad schools move, the F rating follows those students. So, from a ratings perspective, it makes more sense to close a better performing school and disperse those students.- The destruction of America's public education system
Strong rumor going around that Wooten Elementary will close and merge with Brentwood which puts that school over capacity. I'm gonna guess our home elementary, Gullett, is gonna get fucked and merged with Pillow. From the Zoom call, it sounds like the Beckett Elementary community already knows they're also closing.- The destruction of America's public education system
It seems like many in Austin aren’t aware of the school consolidation plan that will announced Oct 3rd and voted on, on the 9th. A dozen or more elementary and middle schools will close and all attendance boundaries will be redrawn. AISD said in the Zoom call yesterday that every school will be affected and the boundary changes will be severe. They will also most likely eliminate transfers to force kids to attend their home schools. TEA also moved the goal posts and just said AISD must develop improvement plans for 33 schools instead of the original dozen. The plans are still due in November. This is to assure the inevitable state takeover of the district. TLDR: AISD is fucked.- El Paso advice
