  1. that's what it sounds like. i'd imagine that within hours of his arrival there isn't the announcement posted.
  2. i dunno what kind of images you are getting haha
  3. i'm willing to accept that in news events like this when we are relying on live news reporting over internet links.
  4. well, that means we're fucking stuck with her!
  5. if meghan isn't there, she can never go back to britain. ever.
  6. no, i get it. but i still think she's dead, even if she's "medically alive" and i think everyone knows it, but are waiting out of respect.
  7. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11193877/Alastair-Stewart-slammed-pre-emptive-misjudged-coverage-BBCs-Hugh-Edwards-wears-black-tie.html and of course there is a neurotic backstory, because britain.
  8. yeah, but reading between the lines...her mobility issues during her jubilee, the covid, her appearance to receive the prime minister in scotland instead of london, etc. i mean, i hope i'm wrong, but she's old and she's frail and shit happens quick at that age.
  9. that's the sign. bbc wouldn't go to black suits and ties unless...
  10. my london colleague said that there haven't been any anchors sighted for awhile, just shots of the airport and gates at balmoral. they are probably changing though. it looks like she may have already passed. and there's a special news program on at 6pm UK time.
  11. yeah, i hate that i think this way, but i'd bet she's already passed and they are just getting their shit in proper order.
  12. yeah, the fact that all uk programming is now live news is telling. the palace would tell them to knock it off if it wasn't very serious. god save the queen.
  13. yeah, it's not a huge surprise as podcasts and such have risen so spectacularly. it is a weird thing, though. I prefer local voices to national ones most times. i really enjoyed jeff ward with ed clements for instance. great local voices sometimes just talking local nostalgia is good local content, imo. or local stories, or how national stories affect local stuff. i really enjoy the new morning show with matt and bob on 93.7. it's a bit formulaic at times, but i listen regularly on the podcast. chuy is the hidden assassin on that show. dude is sneak attack funny, but you gotta be ready for it or you'll miss it. but these guys make shit, and i think it's because radio hasn't figured out how to exist in the modern world. to be fair, the fcc has really shit the bed here with a bunch of arcane and old-fashioned rules about airwaves that mix things up unnecessarily, but i see no reason why two local sports channels cannot exist in this market is obscene. austin is nearly top ten in terms of population nationwide! there's no reason why it shouldn't work. but the ad and ratings models are both massively fucked from my outsider perspective. i don't know how much a typical prime drive time 30 second ad runs, but i'm guessing it's not enough to sustain long-term quality content. we have so many fucking local businesses, it's mind boggling to me that they will put billboards on bowie baseball fields but not buy a radio spot.
  14. can you put a little context around this? did he not show up? they say anything on air?
  15. also, they have the most heavy metal bands per capita: https://finland.fi/arts-culture/finnish-metropolises-vie-to-win-capital-of-metal/#:~:text=Finland is the heavy metal,other nation in the world.
  16. seriously. criticized for going to music festivals? shit, i'd rather have a leader doing cool young people shit like music festivals than old white man shit like golfing. hell yeah, go have your kind of fun. i love finland. the people are nice. the food is fucking weird, but as long as you like salty fish, you should be good.
  17. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/education/schools/austin-isd-tea-recapture-710-million/269-2f5ea2dd-8e32-4f62-ae0f-2ab08ed2ee27 the state is purposefully strangling austin (or letting us do it) with property values. aisd is fucked for many reasons, some of which include some overinflation of admin, in my opinion, but when half your shit is gone before you even start, it's sort of a non-starter.
  18. so, uhhh, that's weird. should i nuke that shit from orbit? i have no idea who that is, and the ip is clean, but they clearly have it out for vapa. right now, i'm thinking nuke from orbit, but i really want to see where this goes.
  19. 9 years. for some pot. they convicted her on drug smuggling. i mean, we knew this was a foregone conclusion as soon as she was arrested, right? as someone who travels (more past tense since covid, though it might pick up again soon) to many foreign countries, i'm sympathetic to the "don't fuck around and you won't find out" philosophy for the most part, except for a few exceptions, one of which almost landed me in a holland jail, but that's a story for another time. this situation, however, is amply clear in that the russian government set her up. i don't really even care if she was carrying a couple of thc vape cartridges and is technically guilty of possession. everything about this from the jump was political and that goes to the highest level in russia. putin wanted her guilty. he probably even came up with the number 9 years. we should not let the idea that we should not domestically imprison non-violent drug offenders stop us from trying to right this foreign injustice. if she got a commensurate charge and sentence, say possession and 2 years, or whatever, yeah, that sucks, but you play with fire, you'll get burned. there are several sacred things in this world that you don't ever mess with. one of them happens to be another man's fries. another happens to be russian largesse.
  20. btw, live youtube link: live comments are chef's fucking kiss too
  21. is this grounds for ineffective counsel? the giving away of the texts, i mean. judge is so done with alex
