  1. Did Rex have another mental health snap?
  2. You’re letting your big city bias show. Get outside of the big cities and the PNW gives the Deep South a run for the money in crazy. I’ve seen more confederate flags and MAGA shit driving to my in-law’s lake house in Washington than I’ve ever seen on my regular drives between Houston and Austin. There are some seriously backwards rednecks up in that part of the country.
  3. That’s a very specific buyer that’s looking for that place.
  4. TEA announced today that it is extending the takeover of HISD for an additional two years, now through 2027. Once the state moves in, they will never go back to local control. It’s a cautionary tale for AISD.
  5. So have we just forgotten about Abrego Garcia at this point?
  6. Give me a break. SEC is a paper tiger. Look at the results from this weekend.
  7. The wife and I started watching this last night. Made it 35 minutes before we gave up and threw in the towel. Truly awful.
  8. Love Wrigley. Last time we were there we sat in the Catalina Club. It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend you picking one up.
  9. The problem is that people do vote their conscience.
  10. Everyone knows the best bat comes from Wuhan.
  11. That sucks. I’m sure she provided a lot of valuable shade in the summer months.
  12. Yeah, most of the newer HEBs in the Houston area have generators. For those that don’t, they bring in big ass units on trailers and have them hooked up and ready to go when there’s activity threatening in the Gulf. Obviously, in this type of situation they didn’t have a long enough lead time to bring those trailers in. Plus, you get to support fascism!
  13. Totally agree, which demonstrates how difficult it is to do. They know logistics better than anyone I can think of. They should run FEMA.
  14. Watching 22 seconds of that felt like 45 minutes.
  15. Agree, but unfortunately it’s just not that easy. My FIL is a retired ag economist who has spent his retirement years working tirelessly on hunger issues. He is primarily responsible, although he would never take credit, for the success of the food bank in his community. One of the things he works on is getting food to food banks that would otherwise wasted. We’ve had long conversations about this exact type of scenario and how frustrating it is to see food get wasted. The logistics of getting this food out of the grocery store, into temperature controlled transportation and into storage at a food bank all during what is an irregular operations situation is highly difficult. Not that it can’t be done, but there’s still inevitably going to be waste and it’s not as simple as calling up the food bank and saying “come and get it!”
  16. What kind of person zip-ties a kid?
  17. Do you not understand how having a bias against your coworkers on an oil rig could create a safety issue?
  18. So the usual response of “this is all pretty normal, nothing to be concerned about here” from the lawyers who keep saying our judicial branch is a-ok!
