It doesn't help that (when I was picked up at ABIA two weeks ago) there were lots of cars parked along the pickup zones, clearly waiting for people in the terminal still going thru baggage claim, etc. These idling assholes blocked the curbspace needed for people who were actually at the curb ready to get picked up.

This isn't an "expansion" issue but I'll take this opportunity to gripe about the restrooms at ABIA (and at most large airports). When you finish your business and you need to wash up, there is NO PLACE near the sinks to hang your coat, or put your briefcase down, to keep it from getting wet/dirty etc. If I was designing an airport bathroom I'd include lots of hooks and shelves and surfaces you could rest/hang things on. But it seems to be an intentional design trend to not have ANY surfaces other than the disgusting wet countertop or (worse) the floor. Even the paper towel dispensers and hand dryers are designed with rounded, sloping contours so you can't rest anything on top of them. Is there a name for a design ethos that is intentionally inconvenient and inflexible?
Also, to whom it may concern: please stop with gimmicky airport restaurants. When I travel I want affordable, quick, tasty, calorie dense food. If it reflects local cuisine that's great, but I don't want airport sushi. I don't want a "breakfast taco" made with egg whites, organic yogurt, and a gluten free tortilla. Some of these weird airport restaurants must be laundering cartel money or something.

Almost midnight, and going outside is like getting hit in the face by a hot wet fart. NWS current conditions shows heat index is 98 F.

I wonder if this tax deal will save me enough money to enjoy, say, a Whatameal(tm) combo once a week.

The important thing is we're all now free to drive our shitbox cars down to the bare cords in the radial tires. Working brakes, headlights & signals? Fuck 'em--that's for woke soyboys.

I like to troll English majors, but sometimes it feels like there's lesser and lesser of them, not helped that our built-in grammar checkers in our browsers/OSes allow us to make fewer and fewer mistakes to bring them out of the woodwork.
Don't you mean fewer and fewer?

How can the people who wave the biggest flags and have "America #1" bumper stickers support politicians and policies that are openly contemptuous of democracy and the principle that everyone has an equal right to vote?

The northern part of that storm was headed my way but when it got like a mile away it hit a wall and died.

I don't like sounding un-progressive but maybe some people actually do need to be locked up.

Looks like from google search that was actually filmed at the old Centennial liquor store next to El Patio.
Aw man, Centennial is gone now? That was my OG liquor source. Burger Tex is still there, right? It's been a few years since I walked the Drag. I should go back and hit all my old spots--Players, Sound Exchange, Quacks, Le Fun, Einsteins, the Cadeau, Tower....

I don't even have a kid! If parents get $8000 to NOT send a kid to public school, where's MY money?

What's Texas going to be like after one or two more sessions like this? Criswell Predicts:
Reverse income tax (those with incomes over $1 million get a taxpayer-funded bonus for being "job creators")
Homestead tax caps --homes with values exceeding $1 million have taxes capped at that value.
Compelled daily recitation of the State Pledge, Pledge of Allegiance, and Lord's Prayer
Public school teachers* must also be a certified weapons instructor and an ordained priest/pastor
(*Most current public schools will have been converted to reprogramming centers for "treatment" of LGBT persons)
Public university degree plans must be "sponsored" by a corporate donor related to that field of study
Voting eligibility limited to white cis hetero male landowners living in counties with under 25,000 people. Municipal officials in cities > 10,000 people will be appointed by the Legislature.
Mandatory carry of firearms (if caught unarmed, civilians will pay a Protection Service Fee to fund police and border patrol)
Free fire zones along border where civilians can hunt undocumented immigrants for sport
All roads tolled (triple rate for electric cars and hybrids)
All internet porn blocked
Draconian sentences for drug and street crime; no penalties for financial, environmental, or tax crimes, or naked corruption
Abortion, contraception, and extramarital sex will be illegal. Married couples will be required to engage in state-supervised reproductive sessions at least twice a year unless the woman is certified to be pregnant or past menopause.
Women over 25 and men over 30 but still unmarried will be assigned a husband/wife by the State.

Car inspections might go away but the fees stay ….
Do Republicans not understand that having unsafe vehicles on the road is not only a threat to the owner of said unsafe vehicle, but is also a threat to everyone else using the road? "Party of personal responsibility" my rotten oozing ass.
Why even have driver licensing or speed limits or registration or insurance requirements, I WANT MY FREEDOMS DONT TREAD ON ME

If going by "with my own money" then it's boring stuff like record albums and books. I bought Def Leppard's Pyromania in '83, I still have some Stephen King paperbacks I bought in '82, (Cujo, Salem's Lot). I have a nice HO scale model train engine I bought in 1980, but the money I used to pay for it came to me as a gift, so I don't know if that counts.

FWIW, this article on KXAN posits that the ads running in Philly was a mistake, and that Texas HHSC is not paying for the ads.

IMO race starts should go back to the Le Mans style, where the drivers run across the track and jump into their parked cars.

Abbott being Abbott

Just another example of the right pursuing actions and policies that result in outcomes that are directly the opposite of what they claim to be seeking. ERIC must have been finding too many fraudulent registrations on the (R) side. When Republicans talk about election security, what they really mean is making sure they have enough control over the process to guarantee or manufacture the desired outcome regardless of what the people actually want.
