  1. Space Shuttle Discovery could return to Texas Yes, let's take the shuttle from the Smithsonian and transfer it to some non-profit here in Texas, where it'll probably fall apart in the sun and humidity. Thankfully it probably won't happen, but fucking A this timeline.
  2. It maybe a good move. Another Mando season probably wouldn’t move the needle much on new or returning subs since those fans probanly subscribe year round, but if it makes a few hundred million in theaters from Mando fans, it pays for itself before it hits D+.
  3. Are you still a senior as a result of the heroin epidemic?
  4. I'd fund and produce @Nicole44's true crime podcast, and somehow, we'd always be around when they discover the bodies that she's later podcasting about. And/or I'd have a mega yacht and pay Nicole to stay behind in each port and cover up everything my merry band of people did as we traveled around the world.
  5. I bet you had at least two manservants as a child, didn't you?
  6. Or maybe he was a vampire worried about a stake.
  7. IS NOT OUR STANDARD
  8. And yet somehow Galveston was always crowded.
  9. How long until Musk runs for Governor?
  10. Not everybody had parents who could send us off to the Caribbean or Europe or even Florida for Spring Break.
  11. Paxton is running against Cornyn. Musk's lawyer is going to be the best-funded of any of the candidates by far, so he will be our next AG. Which means Musk will be our AG in all but name.
  12. Elon Musk’s attorney running to succeed Paxton as Texas attorney general | KXAN Austin Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s attorney John Bash is running to succeed Ken Paxton (R) as Texas’s attorney general, becoming the first candidate to throw his hat in the statewide race. Bash, who is a partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP, said he is running because the Texas attorney general’s office is at the “forefront of all the critical legal issues facing the country, and that office should be led by the strongest possible attorney – one who is battle-tested and will be ready on Day 1.” “I have been the U.S. Attorney under the first Trump Administration; I clerked for Justices Scalia and Kavanaugh; I’ve handled hundreds of cases before the US Supreme Court; and I’ve represented clients facing the toughest legal challenges,” Bash said in a statement to The Hill on Wednesday. Paxton announced on Tuesday that he will run for Senate, challenging incumbent Republican Sen. John Cornyn (Texas) after signaling his willingness to primary the four-term senator for some time. ---- Bash, who was the U.S. Attorney in the Western District of Texas during Trump’s first term, is representing Musk, President Trump’s influential advisor, in a Texas defamation case. ---- That defamation case? Elon Musk facing defamation lawsuit in Texas over posts that falsely identified man in protest | The Hill A California man who says he was harassed after Elon Musk amplified posts on his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, that falsely placed the man at a confrontation involving far-right protesters sued the billionaire for defamation in a lawsuit filed Monday. Benjamin Brody, 22, is represented by Mark Bankston, a Texas attorney who won a defamation case last year against conspiracy theorist Alex Jones in a lawsuit brought by families of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting. Brody is seeking a jury trial in Austin, Texas, and unspecified damages of at least $1 million. Attorneys for Musk did not immediately respond to requests for comment left through a spokesperson. In June, video posted to X showed a confrontation involving protesters near a Pride festival in Oregon. Some of those involved wore the same colors of the Proud Boys extremist group, according to The Oregonian. On X, some users falsely identified one of the participants as Brody, highlighting his post-college plans to work for the government to spread baseless assertions that federal agents were involved. The lawsuit includes screenshots of Musk engaging with users spreading the posts involving Brody, including one in which Musk described it as a “probable false flag situation.” Brody, a recent college graduate who said he was in California when the event happened, came under harassment because of Musk’s reach, according to the lawsuit. ------------------ So imagine if Musk gets his hooks into the Texas AG's office.
  13. It's in his interest if Russia continues to fail and chew up their own troops, so probably mercenaries or workers who were abroad and got scammed. And because of the tariff stuff, China is cozying up to Europe as well.
  14. Bbbbutt we aren't living in an oligarchy!
  15. Yeah, but somebody promised to lower the price of gas, so the tariffs are giving us a small victory?
  16. What kind of pussy is on vacation at a beach in England and thinks he needs a steak knife for protection? He would not have lasted very long at South Padre or Galveston back in the 80s or 90s during spring break. And if he stabs somebody with it, because there's nothing stopping his hand he's liable to cut the fuck out of his own hand when he hits bone and his fist slides forward over the blade.
  17. I have a camping trip planned then so yeah it's going to rain hard, and temps will be in the 40s.
  18. I believe it was a campaign promise that was delivered though.
  19. If they are building multiple factories far larger than anything the Germans have done, I'd say the bear has been poked. They are absolutely going to try and clean up from all of the countries angry at Musk/Trump. The tariffs are just the icing on the cake and not the cause - those massive factories didn't plan themselves in the last few weeks.
  20. Nah, other than when he's alone on an airplane trying to game, he's surrounded by guys like this
  21. And not just run-of-the-mill stuff specifically created for TV/movies but going back to well-liked books.
  22. Musk determining our foreign and economic policy. He's sure making a play to take over both and he really ramped it up with Navarro over the tariff stuff.
  23. Trump has Musk and Navarro going at each other publicly. We are about to have Musk determining our foreign policy (which could mean tariffs are dropped for China, or dropped back down).
  24. Everything you have said, plus what others I know have said (who are also in the industry and/or worked for SpaceX), makes me believe that she would not have skipped over building out the proper infrastructure that saw some of the test launches fucking up the launch pad and sending debris over the nearby areas. Basically Musk was responsible for pushing that forward - the rocket was ready, and he was going to do it regardless if the launch facilities weren't.
