Spent a glorious weekend in Breckenridge and Denver. This is my second extended trip to Colorado this year. As I was waiting to board my flight back to Austin, I reached an epiphany. Fuck Texas. Fuck what this state has become. Fuck what the hypocritical high school GED having right is doing to this state. Fuck what the over woke asshole left is doing to Austin. Fuck pretty much most of this state for being a flat wasteland of stupidity and idiocy. Fuck UT for wanting to join the other redneck glorified junior colleges of the SEC.
Life is too short to live in Texas. I'm moving and retiring out West after my youngest graduates from UT.
Fuck Abbott and his rolling hypocritical shit.
we're about six months out from our move to Denver area and every second-guess and doubt and fear i have had (i've lived in Austin since college) gets less and less important by the day. some days, by the hour.
so i guess in a way i should thank these monstrous cowards and morons for making my life change easier? lol

yes...i didn't watch Veep until earlier this year and the final season felt different, it got very dark, and watching post-Trump there were def times i was like 'hahah...wait, that's not funny anymore 😐'.

'quits'... does that mean the obvious, i.e. people voluntarily quiting their jobs?
how strange 🤔 you generally don't get UI if you 'quit'. does it count if you quit one job to move to another? i know the service sector is suffering from that (people found better jobs)
man, covid has really done a number on the world, such strange impacts!

i like how the announcers got progressively more and more incredulous as the game went on. 😡

this show is very good. yeah there's a lot of dialogue and it slows at points, but it's still...melodic or something. mesmerizing. really well-written. and fuck if some of the priest's dialogue doesnt move me a little.
beautifully shot, too. sufficiently creepy. reminds me a bit Hannibal in mood and style, and 'Salem's Lot in plot obviously. i dig it.

Get ready to be more disturbed.
It's not the same. It's worse. That 70's Show started in 1998 and took place in 1976. 22 years. The equivalent would be a "That 2000's Show" that starts in the year 2000 since the new show won't debut until 2022.
Same with this new Wonder Years reboot. The original was exactly 20 years apart -- 1988 and 1968. This new one would have taken place in 2001 if it were the same.

people of color make up 95% of Texas' growth so we're gonna redistrict to reduce the number of congressional seats representing them because we are giant evil shitbags. sorry not sorry.

i wanted to like it so bad but was pretty disappointed. kinda fun seeing young versions of the characters, but i just kept waiting for something, anything to happen really. i guess finding out who killed Dickie was supposed to be a shocker, but anybody that watched the series could see it coming based on young Junior's reaction to Dickie those few times - it seemed obvious for those of us that know Junior. the 'climax' of the funeral and the pinky swear just fell flat.
on the flipside, i thought the actor playing Dickie was pretty good. but my gosh on the timeline, all the build-up and focus on Michael Gandolfini and he was honestly barely in the movie!
definitely just felt like filler for a prequel series.
OH...one thing they did do was relate Dickie's temper to Christopher, how much he flew off the handle and over-reacted. the strangling of his goomar was definitely reminiscent of Chrissy (almost) strangling Adrianna.

so seriously, how is this going to work when the new OSHA covid vaccine or test mandate kicks in? i have always been under the impression that federal law always supersedes state law, no? meaning if they are in conflict, the feds win.
i know there will be legal challenges, presumably on both sides...but a 500 person company in Texas, isn't it going to have to follow fed rules unless/until officially overturned?
and with the 'or test' part of it. can it even be considered a mandate legally? if not, wtf will the lawsuits even be about?
also, i am having a hard time finding an actual DATE it's supposed to go into effect.
if i work for a company and they do NOT enforce it, can i file an OSHA complaint? does OSHA even have the resources this is going to take??
so many questions. what a clusterfuck. all bc half this country has oppositional defiance disorder 🙄
fuck Greg Abbott.
