    Just read how this all started. Jesus—

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Terrible incident but I mean, come the fuck on. I'm sure there are other torts they could have pursued for damages, but hey let's go for the big one -- wrongful DEATH? There was only one way this was gonna go with them taking it to the retrogrades on SCOA. I'm sure they had some predictable interest groups "helping" them out too. Good job, moronic dickweeds.

  2. I just love the reference in that opinion to the embryos as small people. 

    Yea, though they were smol and frozen, and shivered in the depths of the clinic at Fourth and Main, I say to you that the righteous Alabama Man will protect thee because God gets mad if his image is effaced by the destruction of smols.

  3. Yeah, Garza can get gone. 

    I know a lady who's ex-husband tried to kill her, twice. His current charge (agg assault-family violence w/strangulation) carries a 2-10 year range. But he's had MULTIPLE previous convictions, so he'd be enhanced with a range up to 99 years if they charged it right. Assistant DA is not involving my friend in court dates, isn't saying anything but that "nothing is happening" and hasn't even shown interest in my friend's audio recording of the assault. ADA did ask her what she'd like to see happen, and my friend basically said, 10 years. The ADA said "oh my boss would never go for that."  

    If you're not pursuing violent crime and keeping the most dangerous fuckers like this one off the street, what the FUCK are you even doing as DA?

  4. Fast Times was like a documentary of my high-school experience, even if it predated those years by a few. Especially the bad shit and the Ron Johnson types getting with high school girls. Still give the edge to Breakfast Club as iconic though, and the song "Don't You Forget About Me" gives it something extra.

    Underrated one -- Heaven Help Us (Andrew McCarthy, Mary Stuart Masterson).  Gen X but the era depicted would be boomer. Kevin Dillon is so fucking funny in it.

  5. Ireland allowed a vote in which the citizens chose to make it legal after a woman died under very similar circumstances as those under which Texas women are, or soon will be, dying. If there haven't been deaths here, it's just a matter of time because a lot of shit that happens during pregnancy that leads to death is not that uncommon. Perhaps publicizing a death will make a difference. But we don't get to have ballot measures like other states... so less freedom than other states.... or even Ireland. Yet the Freedom Flag Eagle Patriot bullshit myth persists.

  6. This guy (the victim) was a barber at the Crestview barber shop in Austin before he apparently moved to San Antonio. Gave my son his first haircut and many more thereafter. Nicest guy you could ever meet, and he and his partner were foster parents to a number of kids. 

    Weird, brutal murder.

    The analysis seems tortured to reach the obvious conclusion they want. Start with the continuous nomenclature of "unborn child" rather than a scientific or medical term. And of course it comes down to "legislation didn't specify or define every last term, so in a battle between ill/dying woman and unborn child, gotta go with the 'child" being equal or more important, i.e. no right to abortion care." Judicial activism continues to run amok.

  8. I found it irritating that the LHN guys -- Fozzy, Robison etc. -- called out the Longhorns' committing so many penalties as part of their problem, without the remotest hint about the lopsided calls/no calls. Did they not actually watch the game or are they just not allowed to say anything like that? It's our hometown crew FFS.

  9. I am hungover AF today. My mom sits down right next to me with her People magazine and proceeds to start reading to me every single stupid thing in there. Has to comment on it all too, like who looks good for their age, who doesn't... oh and Bad Bunny and Kylie broke up. Seriously. I'm grunting mostly but also remarking here and there like "who possibly cares about those people" and she still can't read the room. Starting to think she is actually trying to piss me off on purpose. Out of here tomorrow, yay.
