  1. The Comptroller’s Office runs the Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) program for the state. The HUB team was on the way to Houston this week to run a procurement workshop. They got a call to turn around. HUB has been eliminated and its existence has been scrubbed from the website. Fuck y’all’s small businesses!
  2. UTD is a running joke on the r/ApplyingtoCollege subreddit. Everyone is always like "I got into Harvard, Stanford, and UTD. Which do I choose?" or "UTD is the new Ivy", etc.
  3. Lord Huron was awesome. I had no idea what to expect. They seem to be between venue sizes at this point and playing arenas for the first time. Since they aren’t selling out arenas yet, there will be cheap tickets available day of the show if you’re on the fence about going. After NIN, this was my next favorite show of the year so far.

    Are we not doing offsides any longer?
  5. Lord Huron tomorrow at Moody. Never paid them any attention before but I do really like their new album.
  6. If they want to go all in, they should ban public state universities from giving athletic scholarships to foreign athletes. Hell, ban non-Texans from athletic scholarships also if you really want to take the stance that public funds should only support Texans.
  7. I don’t think any of that matters anymore. Compare their NIL funding. That’s going to win titles and that’s what is going to attract coaches. Thinking your history and tradition matters is gonna get you left behind.
  8. This basting spoon is my ride or die. I bought it in ‘92 when I moved into my first apartment. I most likely bought it at HEB for probably $1. I really like that it’s wide and shallow. I can’t find this form factor anywhere except in metal spoons. Every spoon I find is deeper and just doesn’t have the mojo.
  9. I got rid of all my expensive knives years ago and just have all Victorinox. They are honestly just as sharp and hold an edge better than most expensive knives. At $50 a pop, I don't give a shit about putting them in the dishwasher. They are easily the best bang for your buck.
  10. AISD is currently suing the Rosedale property owners to change their deed restriction on that property. It is currently deed restricted to being used for a public school. They can't move forward with development until that happens. From an AISD meeting, they showed a slide with the proposed development. The yellow footprint is the apartment building and the gray is the parking garage. Good thing 49th & Ramsay Ave are built for that amount of traffic.
  11. Hit my trailing stop loss (10%) on GLD today. Made a nice tidy profit. It's in my IRA, so no taxes due. I rolled 70% of the proceeds into VOO and 30% into VXUS. YTD, my IRA is up 19.8%. I plan on retiring at the end of 2029 so I need to figure out a good trailing stop loss percentage to protect it.
  12. A significant number of ballots ignore down ballot races during presidential elections. A paper ballot allows the counter to cast a vote for those races.
  13. This is still the best. For a real performance, I like how Soundgarden drops a verse from Pearl Jam’s Alive in the middle of Slaves & Bulldozers at the 6 minute mark.
  14. Gary Numan at Empire Garage last night. He always puts on a good show. I do wonder how many 60-something fans of his 70/80s music finally come to a show and wonder how they ended up at a nine inch nails concert.
  15. We will get Franklin and like it.
  16. Honestly, there’s also not one player that’s good enough to worry about them leaving.
  17. He’s 87 and has dementia.
  18. What if I told you he’s having one of his best games.
  19. We are also 21-1 when scoring first.
  20. 130 yards - 60 on one play. I’m pretty sure I could call plays well enough to exceed 70 yards in a half even with our OL, QB, WRs.
  21. Who calls plays next week when Sark is fired tonight?
  22. I don’t think he could get a job in the CFL.
