Austin getting what they blindly voted for. Gotta admit, it's bad when even the DA's office is questioning the Judge on those reduced bails. I guess because it wasn't caused by their intentional delays, they're mad someone's doing their jobs?
I'm not sure that's the case.
On her website, this is about the closest thing I could find about reducing bail:
QuoteJP5 can also play a role in helping to provide bail hearings as it encompasses 3 courtrooms. I feel strongly about our citizens having the right to counsel at their first appearance and want to play a role in making this available to our citizens who find themselves charged with a crime.
I would not have interpreted that to mean she was going to violate the law to lower bail for defendants.

Looks like they finally put the corpse of Z'tejas out of its misery.... the restaurant, not the poster.
Probably a decade late. I thought it died when they shuttered the location on 6th, but apparently they had 3 or 4 locations.
Where else can I take my parents in 1998?

It's 2 hours of a family drama and 10 mins of zombie action. That's why it's become a love it or hate it movie.
I think a lot of the "hate it" crowd forgets that 28 Days Later was 80 mins of human drama and 10 mins of zombie action.

Don't forget about Lieutenant Daniels! Had a solid career in the Bosch TV series and the John Wick movies.

Yeah, 4 doors. People get confused a lot when I tell them I bought a "Mustang Mach E". They don't know what the hell that is and think I bought a pony car. I get why Ford used the Mustang branding, but it's dumb IMO.
We like it a lot so far. Pros are that it's a ton of fun to drive, I like the styling a lot (matter of opinion), and the interior is comfortable and feels good quality. Cons are that the ride is pretty bumpy/stiff and the infotainment screen can be kind of laggy sometimes. I've already gotten used to and now really like the one-pedal driving.
I can't really say on charging speed. It came with a 32A charger. I just plug it in when I get home from work and walk away and it's good to go in the morning. I have it set to stop charging at 80%. I want to say it takes maybe 6-ish hours to go from around 30% to 80%, but don't quote me on that. I think we could invest in a faster charger, but this setup works fine for me. Not sure yet on the cost, either. It has a 91 kWh pack. So if I'm charging 60%, that's about $6.50 at 12 cents/kWh. I haven't gotten an electric bill yet since I got the car.
The buggy infotainment screen is my (small) gripe about the Mach-E.
The infotainment system is like buying a Microsoft product in the 90's. You quickly realize you are beta testing it.
The ride will be rougher than you expect for a nicer SUV.

It's a Select but it has the package that gives it a lot of the Premium features. Only things it really lacks are the glass roof and power liftgate. Extended battery, AWD.
Ford is fucking proud of these things right now, I'll tell you that for free.
Ford and GM are benefiting from the "anything by Tesla" buyers now:

Shit is getting good
Common is godawful though
I'd like to just restate that Common is a horrible actor. It's bad enough that it becomes a distraction.
Who keeps on casting him? What dirt does he have on casting directors?

Do you complain that all theaters show is superhero movies and dumb shit?
Then go see Anora. It's complex, fun, emotional and wacky.
Plus lots of nudity.
Go see Anora if you want to see more movies like Anora in theaters.

What's the best way to get to Port A from central Austin if you don't want to take 35 though SA?
The key decision is if you want to take the short ferry ride or go through Corpus and skip the ferry. Once you decide about the ferry, that'll help determine the route.
Ferry is busy on Friday and Sunday.

Woman of the Hour
Anna Kendrick can direct. Holy shit. She channels Fincher in this movie. Highly recommended.
I wish they hadn't felt the need to create storylines. Based on my very quick research, 90% of the show taping storylines are made up.

The wife and I are one episode shy of finishing off Perfect Couple, and the only reason we're doing so is because we want to see how it ends. It's pretty fucking bad. Some of the scenes and writing are cringeworthy. It's a shallow soap opera set on Nantucket.
I didn't learn until the third or fourth episode that the actress playing Amelia is Bono's kid. At least she's easy on the eyes.
SpoilerI like how the police arrest the pregnant woman because....???
There's no evidence linking her to the murder. Her husband stole the pill, so it's his fingerprints on the pill container. No one saw her give the drink to the pregnant woman. No one saw them out in the water. The only evidence the police have is that the pregnant lady was suspiciously washing a drinking glass the next morning.

One of the "woman chased by serial killer" dramas/thrillers, with some twists.
Has blood and violence.
Very enjoyable
Still playing at some Alamo Drafthouses

The Perfect Couple was good. Six ~45min episodes, some recognizable casting. The intro credits though...skip those. My god. The oldest son steals the show IMO. His character needs his own show.
Perfect Couple was White Lotus Lite.
They tried to match the mood and atmosphere of White Lotus but missed. At least Nicole Kidman got be Nicole Kidman.

So my son took his first deer on Friday. We spent Saturday morning cutting it up and when we were finished i checked my phone and it was Texas 24 Michigan 3 at halftime. Pretty pretty good weekend.
I would like to tip my hat to the first hunt foundation for getting us out there, since I have no idea. Any financial or volunteer support you can give to them would be appreciated.
ps 95 degrees all weekend in September up close to Canada? Wtf.
Signed up my kid as a mentee.
Do you need to find a mentor or does the organization find one for you? I can't find any instructions on the website.

"The incident allegedly started when Frederick, who was having trouble streaming porn on a TV, woke the man up to ask for help.
After the man fixed the TV issue, Frederick accused him of flirting with a guest who had been in their home earlier."

holy shit this movie looks bad, and i only just saw a 30 second ad in between rounds on friday night fights. the ad opens in a seedy bar with a totally badass biker guy sitting by himself.
”you can’t wear those colors in here.”
”you’d have to kill me to get this jacket off me.”
followed by 25 seconds of violence and explosions, plus a couple seconds of tom hardy talking all gravely and cool.
the dumbest fucking dialogue, the most played out, beaten to death “tough guys + guns + explosions” premise, the obviously asinine positive reviews (“Goodfellas with bikers”- Indiewire). this is just sons of anarchy or animal kingdom featuring tom hardy. it’s 1,000 other unoriginal movies that have already been made, just with nicer cameras. i cannot believe that people will actually go to the theaters and spend money on this.
This film could be 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and I still wouldn't want to see it.
Not all stories need to be told.

A really good podcast about the "Nazi Block" in Berlin. Hitler wanted his future empire to include huge structures and also ensure their future structures left "beautiful ruins".
