  1. Past hour
  2. I think it’s probable that much more could have been done while also acknowledging that this was an unpredictably incredible catastrophe. camp mystic has been there on the river for 100 years taking great care of little girls who loved to call it their summer home. I spent many summers at la junta and saw the river flood twice, and both times the water never got near the cabins. the guadalupe has flooded a million times since the camps have been there but I doubt it’s ever flooded quite like this. and it did happen incredibly fast and in the middle of the night. it’s an absolutely and unbelievably awful tragedy but I don’t understand the anger towards camp mystic. that’s a great place and they loved those girls.
  3. Absolutely this. As a former journalist, albeit in the frivolous realm of sportswriting, it’s important to tell these stories. Tastefully, of course.
  4. 2,1 /everyone - 1 1.2 /vic mackey
  5. My ordained wife was visibly enraged when I shared Abbott’s comment with her. Her first criticism was much like yours: what, did the families who lost kids not pray hard enough? The fucking lazy, and flat-out evil in that callous theology is horrific.
  6. We are fucked.
  7. Get used to it because he’s probably going to be the nominee in 2028.
  8. Nothing wrong with what you said. These people are charlatans and sociopaths.
  9. The stuffed animals and little pink hairbrush on the floor are hard to see
  10. I've had enough of this jagoff
  11. As someone who was raised in a Christian household and is no longer of that persuasion, I really struggle with the prayer stuff in these situations. I’m not saying this to be contentious or an asshole (even though Greg Abbott can get fucked), but really just from a religious or philosophical frustration that’s on a long list of reasons that turned me away from church. How do you say prayers work when children are dead and other children are missing? Did those families not pray enough? Did God not love those children and their families? My heart aches for the families involved in this and everyone in their extended orbit. Very somber in our household and I’ve hugged my own child so much and been so attached to her and thankful for our family’s safety. I just don’t understand how such a horrific event can be followed up with “prayer works” when families are without their children. From my time in the church, I assume this goes back to the idea that all have sinned and deserve death, and it’s only by the grace of God that some people get to live and go on to heaven. So the dead people got what they deserved or something like that. I don’t know but that doesn’t work for me when God apparently made this world and everyone in it and rigged this game in a way that most people ultimately lose. If a human did that we would call them a sociopath. Sorry I’m rambling and I apologize if this is the wrong time or place or inappropriate in the immediate aftermath. Having an elected leader say “prayer works” is a little bit triggering on a topic I always struggle with.
  12. I don’t like him either but fuck. You can’t deny Please don’t go to a good car next year
  13. The numbers and everything quite literally say she’s the holy grail. For fucks sake viewership of the league as a whole sunk 50% while she was out. Are you truly this fucking dumb. that also doesn’t include all star voting being 5x higher because of the viewership brought to the league by her.
  14. you’re awesome at making honest arguments.
  15. Smooth is fast
  16. Reminder, the rare 8:10 Sunday night start.
  17. I've gotta say, I have probably spent too much time refreshing this thread the past two days. I had to turn off that interview with the dad searching through the Mystic campus for remnants from his daughter. Too much. As a father of two aged 20 and 18 that (to this point) have avoided catastrophes, I still can't wrap my brain aroudn what those parents are going through. Thoughts and prayers for all affected from Tennessee tonight. Hug your kids. Too much.
  18. Polestar makes a SUV? Also, Polestar may be the worst name for a car company ever.
