    Sounds like after decades of drawing a daily cartoon he wanted to retire. But why not claim you're a victim of "cancel culture" on the way out? His Dilbert compilations are about to be bought up by PACs and used as props at conventions. And he can re-brand his characters for future payouts.

    Guaranteed he will turn it into a grift

    I never did Erwin Center, they had just introduced Tex when I started.  Despite its issues, I was definitely glad to be able to use it, rather than run around from table to table and stand in line or whatever y'all had to do.

    The only tables I liked were the ones that they placed outside of the UGL... They would wrap them with butcher paper and you could write your comments about specific classes and instructors. They could be a great source of information and a great source of amusement.

    Tex-- The Enrollment Exchange for The University of Texas at Austin.  

    All sections... are full.

    You are registered for... zero... courses, for a total of... zero... hours.

    Goodbye, and good luck.

     

    I had one semester where I had to run around the Erwin Center to try to schedule classes and I ended up with a bunch of random electives.  Tex was a godsend.  I bought one of those t-shirts as soon as I saw it for sale.

    IMHO: I think an all burnt orange uniform would look very cool. The burnt orange jersey with burnt orange pants and burnt orange helmet (white longhorn logo), socks, shoes. It would the opposite of the all white uniforms. I know it will never happen.

    You are begging for so much neg rep

    I was at that DM/OMD show in 1988. My freshman year at UT. Good show. Going to New Order in SA. Buddy got $60 tickets, upper level, which I'm fine with. I'm not rushing the stage these days. Thought about seeing DM again, but was afraid to click to see the prices. 

    Yeah, if there's one show I'm bummed about missing its New Order... somehow things have never aligned.  One of my favorite bands of all time.  I should have gone when they still had Peter Hook.

  6. Just saw the prices for Depeche Mode at the Moody Center in September.  GTFO.  Ridiculous.  I saw them in 1988 with OMD and 1990 with Nitzer Ebb.  Today's Depeche Mode is not that Depeche Mode.  Call me when prices tank.

  7. "The Tesla Cybertruck looks like shit. That is the first thing about it. It looks like somebody should be pulling it out of a men's size-10 loafer in a shoe store in Times Square. It looks like a beard trimmer that plays Phil Collins songs. It looks like it should come free with a Sports Illustrated print subscription in 1987. Maybe it'll look better if you hit ctrl-alt-delete a few times or close WordPerfect in the background. Maybe it's just weird to see it outside of its natural environment, upright on the wall of a public restroom, dispensing paper towels."

    I love love this review.  Love it!!!

    For the nutters out there, break out the tinfoil.  Small plane headed to Ohio with employees from a company that works on environmental disasters, hired to look at the site,  crashed and all aboard died.

     

    Little Rock, huh?  You know who is from Little Rock...

    queue the Q

     

  9. Took a morning stroll from my office to Upper Crust Bakery on 45th for a nice coffee and pastry.  This weather slams and goes hard.  Yeah, summer is hot (and agree, its getting hotter/drier which is no bueno) but man, its summer in Texas... WTF do y'all expect?  Unless you moved here from San Diego or some assclown place up east, that's what its like.  You should know that.  Besides, assuming we get some rain (c'moooon El Nino), we've got lakes with comfortable water temps.  Beats Galveston or, uh, Buffalo Bayou?

    Wouldn't let them walk her home. Also, I don't recall going to see them that early at the Black Cat but I or my doppelganger is on the back cover of that live album jacket enjoying a Lone Star.

    Good times last night at The Hole in the Wall.  Allen Hill made an appearance and sat in on a couple of songs.  Great crowd.

    But....but....they named it CYBER!  And "cyber" means cutting edge, and cool, and all techie and stuff.  Say it with me, it's the word of the future: CYBER!

    Money quote...

    Quote

    “Musk is an example of how the fetishization of tech start-ups and their leaders can eventually lead those leaders to making bad decisions,” Patrick McQuown, executive director of entrepreneurship at Towson University in Maryland, said in an email. “To me, the insistence on stainless steel is a manifestation of his belief that he has some unique understanding of the market, and that the market will buy whatever he offers because it comes from the mind of Elon Musk.”

    Lots of good stuff in there.
