    Has to take I-10 back to Austin. There’s a British food store in Katy, so I stopped and picked some stuff up. Made a Scottish/UK breakfast this morning.

    Scottish black pudding, Scottish Lorne sausage, and on the eggs, Nandos hot sauce the girls brought us from Surrey when they visited us a coupla weeks ago.

    My breakfast invite must have ended up in junk mail.

    So, this is some kind of bullshit site, https://100percentfedup.com/if-tyler-robinson-wasnt-student-then-what-is/, but it points out that there have been official statements that Robinson lived at home with his parents, and also that he communicated with a "roommate."  But nothing stating he lived with a roommate currently, at home or elsewhere.

    It would seem that the "roommate" was perhaps a former roommate from his brief stint at college away from home.

    And if he's living with a roommate, why does he need to message the roommate on discord?

    What a load of shit.

     

    I think Fox News learned that Robinson was once served coffee by a transgender Starbucks employee, and they ran with that.

    Is anyone in mainstream media covering the groyper/fuentes connection? Wtf

    Scott Simon on NPR just mentioned it, though I don’t know that’s considered mainstream.

    And to clarify, when asked about this possible connection, his guest said “We really don’t know,” and cautioned against speculating on motives at this point given all the misinformation out there. You know, like a responsible journalist.

    yes, since there was no one named and this alleged person says they haven't spoken since high school, so what fucking good is this information? it could 4-8 years since this "friend" spoke to the shooter. also, the use of the word "leftist" takes any and all credibility out of their statement, real person or not

    Whatever you do, don’t tell him about Santa Claus.

    I was in an airport yesterday coming home and watching some aggie dude in the boarding area wear a zip up hoodie with "Texas Aggies" as uncomfortably large as possible on the front. Then it hit me. In yet another classic aggie maneuver, they have chosen to boil the ocean of trying to unbrand the largest brand name in college sports and then rebrand it for themselves. When people say "Texas", there are zero people in the world who think about the Aggies. Their brand is "A&M". Not Texas A&M...just "A&M". When people say that, they immediately know who is being referred to. It is not a bad brand at all, but it is not what they are pouring money into. They missed their window to call themselves Texas State, which would have been a very smart rebranding for them. But now, they are continuing to waste money and look stupid by fucking the chicken of "Texas Aggies". A big rule of technology sales is to never reply to your competitor by name, because they have spent billions building up their brand to mean something. By not using their name, you strip them of all of that marketing power. But true to form, our competitor has just emblazoned our brand across their chests. Never change aggy.   

    I guarantee that within 10 years their apparel will drop the “Aggies” and they’ll try to claim ownership of Texas.

    If there is a moment of silence tomorrow at DKR-TMS, I’m going to have to reevaluate some things.

    In a stadium of 100,000, I have to imagine that there will be more than a few non-MAGAs, and that among those, there will be more than a few that will be (a) pissed that this assclown (RIP) is getting a moment of silence, and (b) have more than a few beers in them.  So, will some of those folks voice their displeasure loud enough?
