  1. Past hour
  2. Chloe Childress was a beloved camp counselor at Mystic and a beautiful person with a promising future. Chloe was co-president of the Honor Council, a varsity cross-country runner, and the founder of a service club dedicated to helping senior citizens. She was supposed to attend University of Texas at Austin this fall. This beautiful soul lost her life in the flood.
  3. Racism does indeed suck. I moved to South Africa when I was 7 and lived there for 4.5 years. Overall it wasn't too bad for us except for that one instance. I can't believe the sub did that, but I'm glad she realized that she made a mistake. The institutional racism there at the time was real. We regularly went to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to enjoy the architecture and gardens. We were never bothered, but I remember seeing a white policemen harass a black couple because they were laying on the grass, laughing and enjoying the day. Institutionalized racism is something that looks horrifying in retrospect. You can blame the system and the people. Are the people racist because the policies tell them it's okay to be racist? Or are the policies that way because the people are racist? But let my tell you, the 2 most memorable incidents were the ones I mentioned above. It was the person being a dipshit because they were dipshits. Not because someone told them to be.
  4. Brisket, I typically agree with you. And I get your point. But I’d bet balls to a barn dance that there were a fuckton of undocumented folks out there distributing food. My point was that for a brief moment/couple of days, it didn’t matter. There was a common goal, to help, and everything else went out the window. At least that’s how I perceived it. Maybe I was just too fucking tired.
  5. Waters Edge apartments in Georgetown on south san gabriel. And then… Water recedes
  6. They're already spending relief funds from the weekend flooding?
  7. seiya not being an all star is dumb.
  8. Man. I guess all of the "Epstein Didn't Kill Himself" MAGAts who just couldn't fucking shut up about it for the past several years just all simultaneously had their computers crash or something, because.....crickets. REally weird, I just don't get it, technology doesn't usually fail for entire groups like that. Probably oughta have tech support look into it.
  9. ^ Shit, my bad, was supposed to spoiler.
  10. I mean....maybe. Sometimes, some humans do some decent shit. But most of the time, the majority of us dedicate all of our efforts and collective social policy to hurting others. Free tamales are great. But they don't make up for the fact that - as just one example - if they were being served by undocumented people, most every person in the area doing volunteer work would stop to cheer on ICE as the grabbed them and tossed them in a van. It doesn't make up for the fact that most of those people will continue to do all they can to insure that our government entities are further defunded and attacked so they become even less able to try to prevent future disasters. Free food is window dressing. It doesn't conceal the rot behind those windows. We need to be the kind of society that actually works to make sure that tragedies like this don't happen anymore, or at least don't happen to this degree. And that is the one thing that we can all rest assured will NOT happen in this case. Or any other. We'll stick with the victory of our new state motto, "It Could Have Been Worse." The CG crews working during Katrina were fucking real-deal heroes. They worked past their allowed time. They were exhausted. Some crews were told to stand down. They refused, and kept on rescuing people. The CG is some of the best of what we've got. I'm glad we have them.
  11. The parties were held at a New York City residence that was being used by Defendant Jeffrey Epstein. Each of the parties had other minor females and a number of guests of Mr. Epstein, including Defendant Donald Trump at four of the parties I attended. I understood that both Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein knew that I was 13 years old. 5. Defendant Trump had sexual contact with me at four different parties in the summer of 1994. On the fourth and final sexual encounter with Defendant Trump, Defendant Trump tied me to a bed, exposed himself to me, and then proceeded to forcibly rape me. During the course of this savage sexual attack, I loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop but he did not. Defendant Trump responded to my pleas by violently striking me in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted. 6. Immediately following this rape, Defendant Trump threatened me that, were I ever to reveal any of the details of Defendant Trump's sexual and physical abuse of me, my family and I would be physically harmed if not killed. https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/jane-doe-affidavit.pdf
  12. APMP

    Port Aransas

    Yeah Port A tar has ruined some swim wear in my household... Never been able to get it all out.
  13. Right, have their recruits inked anything? If not, then there's a season still for them to see what aggy development looks like.
  14. We have to nominate Ryan O’Hearn for first ballot Bryan LaHair All-Stars, right?
  15. That was a slow two hours.
  16. Pulisic has close to zero leadership qualities. That’s why he was NOT the captain in the past. He has worn the armband in his USMNT career, but only when several were missing. Christian can be a hell of a player, but he isn’t a leader.
  17. Very weird to release this story on Sunday night. Obviously they want to end the story quietly but why not release it this past Thursday afternoon going into the weekend of the 4th. Or maybe a news source was about to announce that they were intentionally sitting on it so they quickly released their findings. Odd.
  18. I predict that one day I'll make fun of Shane Smith for being a "former All-Star."
  19. Most of them are. But River Dorm and Guest Lodge are down low (Guest Lodge has even taken on water once in the past, IIRC). Some campers for specific events will be in either of those two places. Summer Camp generally has the campers in Loma Linda, which is indeed on higher ground. Also, in recent years, with additional cell towers in the area, there's decent cell coverage on site, which helps.
  20. Yikes.
  21. Fuck that piece of shit.
  22. let's hit 60, in the next 5 games
  23. hopefully him and josh jung don't bang around pitchers too hard this week.
  24. In hindsight, his vote would probably be different? Way to take a stance there Virdell. I bet your constituents will feel the same about their votes for you.
