    Yeah, it's a shitty look and mishandled all the way around.  The more photos I'm looking at now seem like they purposely paused in front of signage as some kinda "fuck you" to the world.  

    the 'coming in hot' thing is the most puzzling.  There's not much footage, if any, of them arriving on campus.  The Speedway pylons only dropped for a handful of vehicles, not enough for that many troopers to just "happen upon the scene."  I don't want to get all Qanon (too late, I know), but it appears at first glance that they were already in/around the pedestrian concourse before the protest got remotely 'heated' and then proceeded to escalate it, as you point out.  I am fairly confident in what some Regents' roles were in this.  And we know where Abbott's motivations lie.  I'm curious about what UTPD knew or didn't know, that's a head scratcher quite honestly.  I'm sure some worthless commission will be appointed over the summer to get to the bottom of this.  But I'm just looking at the timeline and the lack of footage of some massive troop transport arriving on campus all of the sudden and how nobody seemed to know anything about it until it was all underway.  

    You straddle the fence enough, your junk is going to get yanked to high heaven. You best pick a side now, and be done, son.

    It’s staged fascist bullshit and there is no excuse.  None.   This is what Texas GOP and their enablers want.  Embrace it or not, man.  Stop stanning for these dipshits.

    a good chunk of people seriously believe these protests are nothing but about anti-semitism. 

    A larger chunk of people don’t even know the word Semite includes Arabs and Persians as well as Hebrew. The more you know.

    Abbott’s Lafayette Square 

    Exactly jack shit happened because of that, and exactly jack shit will happen because of this, unless we take it to the governors mansion and the capitol.

    Yes, obviously Journalists in Gaza have come into harm's way but rarely at the direct order of the State.  It's usually incidental/corollary.  It was hyperbole for effect.  

    I mean, tackling and brutally arresting a cameraman who offices just blocks away from the DPS station is an awkward coincidence.  Even for pro-Abbott folks, that''s not gonna sit well because of the time-honored tradition of not fucking with media or medical care providers during heated situations.  Sooner or later, somebody is gonna FOIA their orders and rules of engagement and how UTPD was stepped over and this whole Abbott charade is going to come tumbling down, and right quick.  

    I just had a text exchange with a Regent and the chair of the Texas Higher Educatino Coordinating Board and they are both completely fucking baffled by this move by Abbott calling in riot DPS.  

    Exchange “completely baffled” by “completely buffaloed” and not doing jack shit, and your post might be accurate.

    The meadows closed in 2000 and the backyard around 2008, although the strip center was already there by then. That’s later than most people on here would say. 

    Backyard used to be The Branding Iron before the Backyard.  Although I did like the Backyard.  Saw the Neville Brothers and a few other great bands there...

    AUSTIN (Austin Business Journal) — Tesla Inc.’s huge electric vehicle factory in eastern Travis County will no longer be subject to city of Austin environmental regulations after the company used a new state law to have the property removed from the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.

    The controversial law — which some municipalities are challenging in court — took effect Sept. 1 and allows landowners on the fringes of major cities to petition for such removal, freeing them up to develop with fewer restrictions.

  9. Why are any of you stupid motherfuckers lifting anything you don’t have to, at your age?   Make someone else do it, or pay someone else to do it.  I mean, I have to lift stuff like rearranging furniture, or other cuck things a husband has to do, but at 60 my whole MO is avoiding hard work and unnecessary injury.  I must just be lazy.

  10. Apparently an MRI for your prostate is a 'special' procedure and I'm having a hard time finding a location to schedule one in a timely manner.  They must know I'm a giant asshole and need a bigger machine or something. 

    Seriously though - I've checked 3 different places on recommendation of my Dr. and they all said 'oh we only do that procedure at x facility, and that would be mid-May at earliest.  Like Longhorn Imaging for example, I'd have to drive to San Antonio.  Touchstone only does it at their far North Austin facility.  

    What's so different about it aside from the dye?

    With Travis down, why doesn't LCRA do some excavation to add capacity for the future.  Seems like the prudent thing to do in case we ever do get enough rain to fill it back up.

    If you mean excavating most of Cedar Park, Leander and Lago Vista, that might help.  Otherwise not so much.

    Were kids in the 70s frequently sick or dying from unknown reasons that we just didn’t talk about? In twelve years with hundreds of kids, I can’t recall even a single mention of nut allergies. No warnings at school, no BOLOs at Halloween, not a peep. What the fuck happened?

    Your parents were weak defective individuals.  That's why we have peanut allergies and wokeness.  I assign blame to everyone except me, personally.  BTW this wasn't a personal attack, I'm sure your parents were fine, strict mormon vegans who never partook.

    What's more fun, if you're the driver, is to crack the passengers window, apply the parental lock, and then fart, slowly pulling the noxious gas your passengers way, And there's nothing he/she can do about it. 

    I did this to my son and his friends in the backseat numerous times.  Lock windows, turn heat on high/recirculate and let it rip.
