  1. My father-in-law is currently in hospice care at home due to alcoholism and has the wet-brain thing. He managed to make it to 76-- or 77?-- and birthday next week. My understanding is that the primary process killing him is his uncontrolled blood pressure. The alcohol has greatly weakened his body systems and mind, but also made him not give a shit to take care of himself as far as just taking his BP meds etc., which has been the case for quite a while now. Faced with the reality of death, he kept maintaining it was his own choice to keep drinking, not caring that his refusal to even try getting sober meant his wife became his full-time nurse. It's been part of my own wake-up call to drink a lot less for fear of just not giving a shit about myself or anyone else. Anyway, sorry to hear about MAC, he truly was a gifted writer and fascinating guy.
  2. In contemplating moving from this shithole and leaving behind my elderly mother, I console myself with the fact that her shitty voting record and continued swallowing of the propaganda has helped create this mess.
  3. Infuriating that so many Dems are selling LGBTQ folks down the river https://www.texastribune.org/2023/05/23/legislature-fractured-democrats-lgbtq/ Republican blitz on LGBTQ issues exposes fractures among Texas Democrats The defections have sparked feelings of betrayal and promises of retribution, particularly as Republicans in the Legislature have presented a unified front.
  4. watch out for magnesium in any supplements, it can and does act as a laxative if a significant amount.
  5. I feel like Dell Children's needs to fucking say something. This is so horrible it makes me want to cry. Kids are going to die or end up with lifelong problems and no one seems to fucking care unless it directly affects them. As the parent of an adolescent boy, I find it personally terrifying as well... that's what it feels like --terrorism by the government.
  6. So the school chaplain thing and the no-inspection thing are seriously about to become law?! What. the. ever-loving fuck. Vote for us! We'll make our already shitty roads more dangerous! and put potentially predatory religious spies in with yo' kids! This has got to be the worst session this state has ever seen. I don't know why I'm shocked but this is all just fucking CRAZY
  7. honestly, someone just needs to pop a cap in his ass start filing massive lawsuits at this point. One criminal intimidating and bringing the full power of the law down onto medical providers and by proxy, their patients, through extralegal proceedings. Full-on rogue fascism is here.
  8. I find it very thought-provoking when people say Biden is a racist. Because it makes me think, man... just WAIT 'til they getta load of this guy called Trump!
  9. just speaking to the actual timeline of the stolen Obama pick
  10. Such a grandiose, arrogant cunt for someone with the actual least legitimacy to be on the Court.
  11. Well they're starting to try by normalizing and both-sides-ing things they shouldn't. Fuck CNN.
  12. Too bad the courts are already hack-stacked. There's an article in Rolling Stone -- paywalled I think -- that details the 5th circuit's shitty treatment of the lawyers defending mifepristone in court yesterday, accusing the lawyers of personal attacks on poor Kaczmaryk while being oh so deferential to the plaintiffs and Ho stating that they get to oversee the FDA. The quotes from the 3 hacktivists -- seriously the worst panel of the already terrible court -- are just infuriating. The GOP deserves so so many election losses for being an absolutely lawless party.
  13. I believe I've read more than once that Texas has the lowest voter participation rate of the entire country. Obviously, R's are seeking to keep it that way.
  14. How long would it take between an announcement of resignation and the time when a Newsome-appointed warm body could have their ass in there actively voting/working? Just wondering if some bullshit interim delay factors into this at all.
  15. Damn... post about Ralph's sad white-guy dance in Bush's home state, get accused of believing Al would have invaded Iraq. Nah bro
  16. was it... Cheney? Still begs the question of whether Ralph should have foreseen the intent and ability to start the Iraq and Afghanistan wars before 911 even happened. Anyway, don't blame me, Bush was always going to handily win Texas obv.
  17. We should hold him accountable for being able to predict the Cheney neo-con takeover of the Bush presidency and its ensuing disaster?
  18. except that those doctors did a whole lot more than provide gender-affirming care, which would have been a very small part of their work
  19. I met Michael Rooker at a comic-con a few years ago, he was doing meet and greet/ signing photos for his Guardians of the Galaxy role (Yondu). I told him he was a lot better looking than the real Henry Lee Lucas. I don't think he was expecting that lol
  20. If he's willing to do that, he might as well do this, it'd probably get more votes --
  21. *derp* also can't read push/pull signs. Sorry, lack of coffee today
  22. wait, there are two whites -- what is that, super white and a little beige?
  23. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I admit it kind of blows my mind that any tattoo artists(?) would still be giving tattoos like that. Of course, some are just as racist as their customers, I imagine...
