  1. I'm just trying to soak it all in. We may not ultimately win the league or Europa but we have a finite number of Jurgen matches left and I want to enjoy as much of them as I can.
  2. And poor poor Gomez just can't buy a goal. Two kids get goals in their 1st and 2nd matches and he's still bombing them over the goal. Damn, a brace for Danns.
  3. REO Speedwagon lead singer calling in is awesome.
  4. It wasn't the best Mel Brooks movie but I always enjoyed Richard Lewis in Robin Hood: Men in Tights. It's a good change. It's a GOOD change. RIP
  5. Nice. Kid gets his debut and opens his account on the same day.
  6. I enjoying listening to Marketplace on NPR as I'm making dinner. They had an interesting segment on whether starter homes still exist. The home we're in was our "starter home". We were supposed to live here for a bit then move on to something else. That was in 2004. If we were to move on now, I'm not actually sure what we could afford, either in Dallas or outside of it. Sure, it would be nice to have a nicer home but I quite enjoy the lower payment we're making. https://www.marketplace.org/2024/02/27/are-we-finished-with-starter-homes/
  7. I'd like to think that somewhere in federal prison, Bart Reagor was angry that Tech lost the final home game against Texas. Beast feast!
  8. Oh I'd love to get rid of one particular white person. He might be shocked to learn in some African American households, Jesus is actually portrayed as a black dude.
  9. Trump's corpse would win Texas.
  10. Not a chance in hell would Texas go for Biden given Abbott's approval numbers. Florida is more likely but they seem to have the same phenomenon that Texas has of only red state assholes seem to be moving there.
  11. Oh you...thinking our state gives a shit about the lives of women.
  12. Well that group is stating they have enough sway as a voting block to cost Joe Biden the entire state of Michigan because they're so angry over Gaza so..... Perhaps you missed the time Bernie Bros not voting for HIllary were blamed for her losing to Trump. That was mostly white dudes.
  13. Because Presidential politics is all about winning specific states now. Blue states are firmly blue. Red states are firmly red. Florida used to be the key state to win. It cost Gore the election in 2000. It, like Texas, will be red for the rest of our lives. So now the former Rust Belt holds most of the cards. Michigan and Pennsylvania will decide Trump or Biden. Ohio is a lost cause, it will stay red. So, yeah it's a problem if 100,000 Muslims in Michigan who voted for Biden in 2020 decide to sit out if he doesn't win the states he won in 2000. The states that decided the last election were Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. You want to switch to a winner take all popular vote, I'm for it.
  14. The terrible trend in plastic surgery that gives women those horrible looking faces is definitely an enshitting.
  15. There's a show on FX that just premiered that is Capote based, Feud: Capote vs. the Swans. It's based in New York. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1984119/
  16. I saw a humorous line in the story about this where the people who said they will be uncommitted to Biden in November aren't as worried about Trump's authoritarian style because "they can find ways to undermine that". Okay, sure. Let's see how your protesting works when he invokes the Insurrection Act. Remember how things worked when BLM was protesting outside the White House in 2020? Yeah and he will have no one standing in the way of clearing you all out with force. No Joint Chiefs or Secretary of Defense telling him "sir, you can't attack American citizens who are protesting". It will all be yes men or worse, people who want to harm you because you're Muslim. You may not fear Trump's authoritarian style but you damn sure better fear what Stephen Miller has planned for you. I'm not sure exactly what fantasy land these Michigan people are living in.
  17. And I understand that thinking and I truly empathise with people who have lost loved ones in Gaza. Now how about your loved ones here whose status might be questioned when Stephen Miller takes over again and wants to expel all non-citizens, people here for work, people seeking asylum, people fleeing war torn areas? What about them? What about the future generations of your family that will no longer be allowed to live in this country? You're fine with putting them at risk? Again, be careful what you wish for then in your quest to show Joe Biden something.
  18. Then I will feel no emotion for them when the Muslim ban returns, Muslims with work visas and resident cards are deported, and their families are broken up. If you think Biden is so awful that you hand a state and possible victory to Trump then be ready for the utter hell you just unleashed that will affect you a lot more than me, at least initially. You think Gaza is bad now, just wait till Trump encourages Israel to do whatever it wants.
  19. Everton getting closer to being out of the relegation zone.
