  1. that's if you think it was up to him. and yes, he needs to grow up and be a man and steer his own ship, but i think we've all seen friends destroy important relationships because of a significant other who was toxic.
  2. damn. just after elevating william and kate to prince and princess of wales, charles wishes "harry and meghan well building their new life overseas" harsh, but fair, i reckon
  3. he can, but elizabeth said during jjubilee that she wanted camilla to be queen consort. i doubt the first thing charles does is stomp on his mother's wishes.
  4. damn. my dad was stationed in germany during the korean war. he got a furlough and went with a couple of army buds to london to get drunk and have themselves a time. they get to london, and the city is packed. there's nowhere to stay. turns out they arrived the day before elizabeth's coronation. they stayed in a random family's attic and attended the event. not so cool story bro, i guess.
  5. that's what it sounds like. i'd imagine that within hours of his arrival there isn't the announcement posted.
  6. i dunno what kind of images you are getting haha
  7. i'm willing to accept that in news events like this when we are relying on live news reporting over internet links.
  8. well, that means we're fucking stuck with her!
  9. if meghan isn't there, she can never go back to britain. ever.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. that's the sign. bbc wouldn't go to black suits and ties unless...
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. can you put a little context around this? did he not show up? they say anything on air?
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
