  1. TIL that two of my all-time favorite movies (this one and Pee-Wee's Big Adventure) were released the same weekend in 1985. How did I never know that?
  2. Good Lord - this is the first time I've actually read posts on that board. It makes the TexAgs politics board look like a downright sensible bunch of folks by comparison 😮
  3. Gohmert's middle daughter Caroline, who makes music in LA under the moniker BELLSAINT, seems to be of quite a different position politically... https://twitter.com/carolinebrooks7 https://twitter.com/bellsaintmusic
  4. This. And all the replies to this tweet about "liberal agenda" are just stupid. The Ticket guys are pretty much just addressing current issues at hand in the absence of sports of any significance to discuss. I assume that, for these listeners, anything less than direct Fox News-style criticism of anything BLM/protest-related is a "liberal agenda".
  5. It went well in Plano. Update: https://mobile.twitter.com/planofirerescue/status/1279626557255028736?s=21
  6. Good on BSA for doing this - it's needed right now. As a Scout dad, this pleases me. https://scoutingwire.org/bsas-commitment-to-act-against-racial-injustice/# The full thing is worth reading, but here's the significant part:
  7. The new podcast from the Lincoln Project talks about that in their introductory episode - it's an interesting listen. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/republicans-defeating-trump/id1514968525
  8. That buffet tho. (Not right now, obviously)
  9. And if you still doubt this could be true for this swath of the American populace, go read the politics board on TexAgs for a while and you'll be convinced.
  10. The headline sums it up nicely. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/opinion/jared-kushner-coronavirus.amp.html
  11. After listening to several of Rick Wilson's monthly appearances on the "With Friends Like These" podcast, I'm now more convinced than ever that the backroom deals/boring old chess route is most definitely the way to go, sprinkled with some political machinery/attack ads on top. It sucks, but it works.
  12. Big difference this time around is that people have now seen the actual (rather than imagined) outcomes of a Trump presidency. Any progressive who sits out the general election (or votes for Trump) is completely turning their back on their values simply out of spite.
  13. If you go on and on about Bernie and the need for change and the need to get rid of Trump, but aren't willing to vote for the D nominee no matter who it is, then your criticism rings hollow.
  14. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/remembering-jim-lehrer I always appreciated his calm, even tone and strong intent to get the reporting right. And, he's a Texan, at least for part of his life - he went to Victoria College in the Valley, then worked at the Dallas Morning News and Dallas Times Herald before starting a new kind of news program on KERA in Dallas called "Newsroom" - which eventually morphed into the national MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour that lasted for many years (and is still on today as "PBS Newshour".
  15. The great Bob Rutford, geologist, Antarctic explorer and former president of UT-Dallas from 1982-1994 (and a big part of it becoming a full-fledged four-year university), died a few weeks ago. I had the opportunity to get to know him late in his life, and found him to be fascinating - and a hell of a funny storyteller. This is a wonderful short film produced by Birkenstock, highlighting his Antarctic explorations. The interview segments were filmed at his home in Richardson shortly before his death.
  16. Re the Alabama race, I found this three-part series about the drama in the Alabama Democratic Party (with Doug Jones as a central player) to be fascinating. Worth your time if you're into this sort of thing (which you likely are if you're reading this thread). https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/llhd33
  17. Man, I'd love Wilonsky to take the gig, but he's already overextended just with his DMN duties.
  18. For a lot of folks, there's nothing wrong with that. The GOP continuing to move far right doesn't demand an equal and opposite reaction on the left.
  19. Clearly management isn't THAT worried about the ratings. https://radiofacts.com/cumulus-media-re-signs-the-tickets-legendary-morning-team-the-musers-to-multi-year-deal-in-dallas-fort-worth/?
  20. The end of this one when Gordo loses it gets me every single time, even 20 years on.
