throw soap and job applications at them

but for real, block out cell phone coverage for the entire park. cut off electricity so they can't charge their cell phones  

If they want to claim autonomy, then they should provide their own power.

They really missed the boat on a lot of symbolism by not staging this in Waterloo Park

Well they're not the Austin Benevolent Bikers Association.

And the Napoleon Complex already got renamed last summer.

I remember Russ talking about Imus saying "Nappy headed hoes" and how he felt really bad about that statement afterwards. 

I remember Imus’ racial fiasco well. 
But my “Nappy” is a double entendre which referenced Monsieur Bonaparte who infamously was reputed to have written some lines (in a letter) using his ho’s butt for a writing “table” prior to his Waterloo.

There's a big homeless camp burning down right by the Warehouse on Ben White. Huge 30 foot flames. Y'all in south Austin can prob see the smoke. Wonder if someone torched it. Looks like it's quite the encampment. Or was.

The warehouse? The Habitat For Humanity location at South First?

Please...you know the people living under there had their Sunday cookout get out of control.

Gee, driest conditions we've had in several months.  Antiquated electronics, grills, propane tanks, dozens of appliances and devices plugged into one surge protector extension running off that TXDoT service panel down there, and enough wood and cardboard to reboot Wicker Man, on a dry, sunny day with gusts.....add in an oblivious group of people with mental illness, under heavy influence of drugs and alcohol leaving flammables in bad places.  

I know many of you think this is somehow the fault of middle-class Austin and zoning laws.  But typically fires start differently.

Just release the body cam footage of every officer that was there. There's a simple way to prove you aren't covering up for corrupt murderous cops. And that proof is needed as you've lost all benefit of the doubt with previous corruption and cold blooded murders by cops. 

Should be standard procedure for every shooting or case where serious harm came as a result of police action. Shouldn't even be at their discretion, it should be automatic.

Do you even section 552.108(a)(1) Texas Government Code Bro?

Austin is fucking disgusting these days. Sad, because I’ve always loved the place. But driving through now I’m glad I moved away.

I hadn’t been to Austin in a year or so despite living 20 minutes away. Had to go downtown for a meeting a couple weeks back, I was amazed at what a shithole it’s become.

It's not a "fire", it's just a bunch of molecules experiencing agitation.

See, it's all good!
