The Pentagon said Monday that it is investigating Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired US Navy captain, in light of āserious allegations of misconductā the department has received against him, and could even recall him to active duty to face a court martial or administrative punishment.
Pete Hegseth:Ā "I'm going to hang Mark Kelly by a fucking yardarm!"
Daniel Kaffee: "Yardarm? Sherby, does the Navy still hang people from yardarms?
Lt. Sherby:Ā "I don't think so."
Daniel Kaffee:Ā "Pete, Sherby doesn't think the Navy hangs people from yardarms anymore."

I can't speak as intelligently on the THC debate, other than my continued view that our state leadership sucks donkey taint.
But I do have personal experience with synthetically produced narcotics, namely Delta 9 and most recently, Kratom.Ā Not to hijack a thread with family trauma, but last year my stepson went into rehab after a Delta 9 addiction helped throw him off the rails his first year of college.Ā My wife and I read up on synthetic Delta 9, which for some kids with ADHD (like him) and other related mental developmental disorders, it can really fuck up your brain wiring in a way that natural pot does not.Ā And most recently, he relapsed with Kratom.Ā And what's the similarity with the two?Ā He was able to freely buy both in most convenience stores in town.Ā While Kratom, like THC, is a naturally-occurring plant, its synthetic derivatives can produce symptoms and resulting addiction very similar to opioids.Ā It's just bad bad shit, and reports of overdosing on Kratom are growing.Ā While my stepson has some personal accountability in all this, I have growing anger over the fact that stores can legally peddle this crap to 18-year-olds.Ā Ā
So as much as Dan Patrick's THC crusade may have been yet another annoying waste of time our MAGA controlled state government, I'm increasingly in favor of laws to curb or ban over-the-counter sales of this synthetic bullshit.
tl;dr - Dan Patrick and Kratom can both get fucked.

The aggys I know claim that A&M doesn't have any t-shirt fans
I always thought the aggy comments on t-shirt fans was a complete lack of awareness.Ā My former in-laws live in deep East Texas and I had to make the drive there a few times a year for family gatherings.Ā I consistently saw folks wearing aggy shirts at gas stations who I was damned sure never set foot on a college campus as a student, let alone the one in College Station.

Trying to explain it is almost impossible. I usually say that OU is a big rival. We dislike each other. The week before and after that game are actually affected by what happens. That said, Sooner students aren't that much different than Longhorn students or Tech students or any students. It's just a game. Other than those two weeks, it stays in the back of the mind.
Aggies think we are genuinely evil and represent all that is bad in the world. They never cease obsessing on us and making embarrassing asses of themselves hissing when introduced to one. It happened to me in the workplace once. For us it's a game, for them it's a holy war around which they've invented myths and legends untethered from reality.
It's also the fan behavior at the game that is such a stark difference from anything else I've experienced.
Sure, we hate OU.Ā But in all my times at the Cotton Bowl, they're really not that much different than Texas fans.Ā Really passionate about the game, mostly non-threatening shit-talking with some drunk morons on both sides, no utterly goofy cheers or behavior.
aggy's just fucking weird.Ā Like J.D. Vance weird (#noCR).Ā Weird cheers with weird vocabulary, much of it on the cringy side.Ā There's really no fanbase that comes close that that kind of game-day behavior, and that uniqueness is nothing to be proud of.

She'll get roughly $8700/yr upon turning 62.Ā That's 10 years from now, so it'll be slightly different by then.
Ā
EDIT
Although, this shows about $14k/yr.

That'll get you a real nice double-wide in Chickamauga, Georgia.Ā Ā

I guess the second Mama Betty's (Burnet Road), which has been opening "next month" for about a year, is actually going to open this week.Ā I'm not expecting much, but I imagine we'll give it a try.
Anybody hit up the Burnet Road location yet?Ā They look to be open full time but don't take reservations, and my wife and I were thinking about going one night this week.Ā We've never been to the original location in Cedar Park.
