RIP ygifs/Lobo. He would have loved this joke ❤️

I don't think Mamdani did anything wrong and I like and support the guy. But there will be no reflection from the far left as they fend off attacks they would (and will) absolutely use on Buttigieg and other younger Dem politicians. This is the first time DSA people have felt the wrath of oppo research with an up and comer candidate. Zohran is a much bigger deal than when AOC was running back in the day.

They believe that they are in war to save America for God and White People that we started. If you lose battles or have a few shitty generals, you don't abandon your side no matter how void of any rightness it may be. It's why they're winning.

Lol I mean, we could sit here and throw dirt on them, but hey—they’re making it happen. Will it be another Jimbo situation? Who knows. But they’re definitely recruiting at a high level, even with their mediocre past records, and they’re heading in the right direction. Honestly, that mediocre roster probably freed up more money. Gotta give credit where it’s due.

Explain all you want, but I'm focused on his "approach" and not "likelihood of policy success". His likelihood of policy success is very dependent on changes in Albany. You might think that the policies are ridiculous, but the approach is what is critical to me in deciding whether I, a Dallasite, is comfortable with the national press coverage of NYC race.

sorry but the real emergency is the "invasion" of brown people, we need every available resource to support the gestapo

I wish Sam Houston or Lyndon Johnson were around to cuff these phonies around the room until they cried. Then run out of town on the ends of pitchforks. Then airlifted to an active volcano for a last trolley ride to hell. All places are special. The way that Texas was special is pretty much all gone. Phonies in cowboy hats and boots appealing to the phonies in cowboy boots and hats that fill the state. I've never owned cowboy boots. I wear a cowboy hat when I'm going to be in the sun for an extended period of time. I'd like to cuff these phonies around the room until they cry. Who is with me?

kerr county doesn't need a billion dollars to solve this problem forever gauge stations every mile that send readings to a central station, and when there is any sudden increase in flow it trips the storm sirens wait... sorry... they don't have any of that infrastructure that would cost less than a million dollars to build and 100k a year to maintain

Lindner latest - TLDR 7-6-25 845am Update on the weather and rivers over the Hill Country and central Texas. No new flash flooding overnight Weather pattern remains in place today into Monday for additional heavy rainfall and flash flooding Persons should continue to be mindful of the weather conditions while visiting, camping, and vacationing in this area through tomorrow. The good news is that thus far there has been no new heavy rainfall and flash flooding, but recent radar trends west of I-35 suggest an increase in activity including pockets of heavy rainfall. Guidance continues to indicate the potential for additional isolated areas of excessive rainfall today, tonight, and into Monday over portions of the Hill Country and central Texas as the slow moving/stalled mid level trough axis/weakness aloft remains over this area combined with tropical moisture. As mentioned before, the where, when, and how much are the key questions in this type of setup and we are at the limit of the science on these answers usually until the storms begin to evolve. Where the heavy rain falls can quickly result in flash flooding on normally dry creeks and rivers…in some cases the water can rise feet in minutes yielding little time for action. Persons in vulnerable locations along dry or low flowing creeks and rivers must keep abreast of water levels and conditions and be prepared to react quickly. Rivers: Floodwaves have terminated into the various lakes in central Texas (Lakes Travis, Buchannan, and Canyon). These lakes remain well below normal conservation pools due to the long term drought in this area and will be able to fully absorb these flood flows with no downstream impacts or flood gates releases. It should be noted that higher than normal flows are occurring at several points in the Highland Lakes chain and significant debris has been washed into the various lakes in the last 48 hours making boating and recreational use hazardous at times. Rainfall below the control structures yesterday will result in rises on the Colorado River at Bastrop and Smithville today and the Guadelupe River downstream through Victoria this week. Based on current flows and forecasts no flooding is expected, but flows along the river will be elevated and normally dry low land areas will be inundated. Local: Rain chances will begin to increase over our local area into early this week in association of an upper level low that will approach from the northeast Gulf. This will usher in more favorable conditions for afternoon showers and thunderstorms along the seabreeze. Heavy rainfall will be possible as is typical in such summer situations with some isolated instances of street flooding through mid week. High pressure will attempt to build into the region later this week and lower rain chances, but how fast this happens is in question and thus far this summer significant high pressure has been unable to gain a strong foothold over the state or region and completely shut off rain chances. Summer patterns are hard to break once they become established given generally weak flow in the atmosphere this time of year. e

Here are a couple additional maps from the FEMA estBFE Viewer which show that this flood was likely closer to a 500 year flood event than a 100 year flood event. Most current building codes require the ground floor of buildings to be at least 1 to 2 feet higher than the 100 year BFE.

I keep hearing Flash Flood Alley and most dangerous flood plain in the US. Yet a community that makes quite a bit of money from tourists and campers and their parents in the months most likely to have flooding did not want to pay for a warning system bc it was too expensive. It reminds me of the movie Dante’s Peak where a town resides in the valley of a volcano. 🌋 Of all the things I have heard of the past couple of days I think this stubbornness that “well it floods a lot here but it won’t ever get that bad” mentality was a ticking time bomb. It is the mentality. ————————— Camp Mystic sits on a strip known to locals as “flash flood alley.” “When it rains, water doesn’t soak into the soil,” said Austin Dickson, CEO of the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, which was collecting donations. “It rushes down the hill.” Decades prior, floodwaters engulfed a bus of teenage campers from another Christian camp along the Guadalupe River during devastating summer storms in 1987. A total of 10 campers from Pot O’ Gold Christian camp drowned after their bus was unable to evacuate in time from a site near Comfort, 33 miles (53 kilometers) east of Hunt. ————————— power of nature + local mentality that they will never have the ultimate disaster despite living in their words the most dangerous flash flooding alley in the US is the main factor (not the only one) but it seems that way to me. We all know there are other factors. But this was a disaster waiting to happen. And it seems like the locals owed in my mind their tourists, their campers and families of the campers on the backs of whom they make a healthy monetary cash influx an early warning system in that county to keep them all safe. And now July 4th will be symbolic for tragedy. And they didn’t want to spend the money on a necessary system that could have spared many of the deceased who aren’t even old enough to vote, and in many cases aren’t even big enough to ride most of the rides in theme parks. that’s how I see it. I’m pissed and hurt and like many of you need to take a break from the tragedy and find some peace. There has been zero word from my two cousins (who each have a friend missing a child) on the two girls that have not yet been found. Keep praying for a miracle despite all evidence to the contrary. The numbers are rising.

Academics matters in recruiting? When's the last time grad rates were relevant?

My kids have several friends who were there. They are hearing that the second Bubble Inn counselor and the others from that cabin were found together dead this morning. I just have no words left.

Appointment in Samara - John O'Hara (1934) Not trying to come at you with the high hat but taking another shot at completing the Modern Library's 100 Greatest Novels in English of the 20th Century. This one is fine, but Lord & Taylor! Everyone gets very tight and ends up sore but the women are mostly swell and that makes up for it. Like an extended angry party scene from Mad Men but set in the Jazz Age. I'd tell you more but my wife just yelled at me to get her another benedictine.
