  1. Phone alerts, etc are all fine and good, but they cannot account for spotty service, do not disturb mode, etc. At this point just put a network of sirens all along 34 and 1340 - basically anywhere in the county in a 100-year flood area along the river. Test them regularly and fire them up whenever there’s a warning at the earliest possible moment. That way, no matter what the hour, if I’m camp staff or a counselor I know the moment I hear it to gather up my folks and head to high ground.
  2. Where is the water level in relation to the new housing subdivision just to the north of there? They built really close to the river. Also, given the big jump in level at Travis this morning, I’m assuming LCRA just keeps the dam totally closed to refill the lake? I haven't seen any specific note about that.
  3. Sunday afternoons are typically the most thinly-staffed time of week in newsrooms (other than overnight). Especially now.
  4. Well, this piece from two months ago outlines Stephen Miller’s position on it, so this is likely where things are headed. I hope I’m wrong. https://www.yahoo.com/news/stephen-miller-unveils-bizarre-attack-194857907.html
  5. While I don’t entirely disagree with your premise, I want to note a key distinction here: these teachers are not using those gift cards to “supplement their income”. In the case of my wife and many of her colleagues, they’re using those cards to buy classroom supplies that they are given no budget to purchase because of the continued degradation of school funding in our state - or, using them to buy protein bars to keep on hand since budgets for free breakfasts and lunches have been severely cut by our esteemed governor.
  6. My 18yo saw it, loved it and said it was about as good as the animated original. That surprised me.
  7. If the team suddenly hires a consultant named Bob Sugar that's a 🚩.
  8. A few more details here. Gordo talked about it on the O-deck this morning. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/jerry-jones-adult-swim-keeping-up-with-the-joneses-series-1236263784/
  9. This so great, but F’ville is very much a blue dot within a sea of red. Walking around town there last week, I saw lots of pride and trans flags, and local elected officials there are mostly progressive. It’s starting to spread as NWA grows as a metro area, but the rest of the state still makes up for it.
  10. Sadly, Douglas from Nitzer Ebb died today. He has been ill and wasn’t on this tour (it was just Bon and another dude). He had a commanding stage presence and voice, for sure. https://www.brooklynvegan.com/nitzer-ebbs-douglas-mccarthy-has-died-at-58/
  11. NM - dupe post - Da Fino beat me to it.
  12. That photo is from a construction site in NYC from a few years back, and just keeps getting recycled for these "aNtIfA sOrOs DeMoCrAt CiTiEs" posts. Please stop.
  13. Rick Mitchell on NBC5 says the really bad stuff should hit D/FW around midnight. Just moved in all the patio furniture. We’ll see what happens…
  14. “I love you.”
