Another case (same person?) at UTSA and riverwalk.

Looks they went to a lot of places.

A Northwest Texas resident who has tested positive for measles potentially exposed University of Texas at San Antonio students and other residents while visiting San Antonio earlier this month.

The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District said the Gaines County resident tested positive for the virus and traveled to multiple locations here on Feb. 15, including UTSA's main campus from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. that day.

Afterwards, the traveler visited the Wax Museum, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! and Ripley’s Illusion Lab near the Alamo between 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. For dinner, the visitor dined at Mr. Crabby's Seafood and Bar in Live Oak between 6 and 8 p.m.

Earlier Sunday, The Hays County Health Department announced that an Gaines County resident with measles visited San Marcos from 3 to 8 p.m. on Feb. 14., entering several Texas State University buildings and spending the evening at the sports bar Twin Peaks. 

Public health officials urge those who visited these places to review their vaccine records and monitor themselves for symptoms for four to 21 days after initial exposure.

I’ve always said nothing is more important than identifying and eliminating waste. And I can’t think of a better entity to handle that task than the….

*checks notes*
 

Republicans that have been in total control of the state government for over 30 years. 

 

as always, desantis / FL is ahead of abbott on this .... 

doge focused on university 'waste' with desantis as the lead 

 

DeSantis also said all state universities will be audited for what he calls any unnecessary spending and classes that don't need to be taught.

Twin Peaks

Buccee's (not listed, but word is he stopped there on the way to SA)

UTSA campus tour

Wax Museum

Ripley's Believe it or Not!

Whoever that dude is, he's future leadership material for sure.

Dunno but if you go to Ripley's on the River Walk in San Antonio you probably deserve to get Measles...and to be called fat by Charles Barkley

Random thought: Pearl Beer was from the country of alebmhunert (give that a try) springs. 
I wonder how many of those sprangs are still working.

Went to a lot of beer joints with my dad when I was a kid, was always hypnotized by these signs

That word looks like a slangy, kind of a kids' way of saying "eleven hundred" in German or how it might sound like, but it got no hits on Google.

The Texas GOP is gearing up to gut the Texas Citizens Participation Act by making it easier for SLAPP suits to continue and easier to deny the defendants the right to recoup legal fees for frivolous lawsuits.  Once again the party of individual liberty is out to stifle the individuals rights in favor of corporate interests and the wealthy elite.  Of course this effort is being supported by Texans for Lawsuit Reform.

Cool. I'm just curious if my wild guess was correct. Let me know what Alebmhunert means when you get the chance.

1,100 (Eleven hundred). The old Pearl Beer slogan was "From the Country of 1,100 Springs."

Measles cases now being reported in Rockwall County. One school age kid has died in west Texas. I guess we should brace ourselves for measles outbreak all over the state. This is so unnecessary.

oh, it's gonna get bad. I'm grateful that the people I care about also care about science and the well-being of their kids, so I don't think this will affect anyone I know personally. but it's gonna fuck up a lot of lives and it was preventable. i really don't know what else to say at this point

I mean, if their own parents can't be compelled to care, why should I? I still do, but it's because I'm a human with empathy and it sickens me anytime children are caught in the crossfire of stupid

Was it Pearl, or was it because you had 14 of them and followed it up with some 3 AM Taco Bell?

No.  I'm done with that shit.  It's time for social chemotherapy.  Brutal, devastating chemo....because the only language assholes speak is pain.  So, let the universe speak to them in a way they understand.  If what it takes to get the assholes to grasp that maybe, just maybe, we live in a society and our actions impact other people, so maybe we perhaps might ought consider the impact on other people before we act, is the death of their children?  We crossed that rubicon a LONG time ago.  They are HAPPY to have dead kids stack up....so long as they are the kids of "the other."  Let the pain and awful loss bring itself home.

Empathy is dead.  Coercion by pain is the only force in the universe with any remaining power.  

I didn't make these rules.  I think they are insanely stupid and cruel.  But they are now engraved in stone.  Pretending they aren't is lying to yourself.
