  1. This is all hindsight-biased nonsense. As with everything Trump, it's the wrong answer to the right question.
  2. And the best philanthropists in Dallas have been the quiet ones like Erik Jonsson and Eugene McDermott. That quote from 1964 above was during the early years of Goals For Dallas, Jonsson's plan that was very inclusive for its day and tamped down the worst instincts of the Citizens Council. Hell, his service as mayor itself was an act of philanthropy.
  3. City licensed it to them. SMU is kind of especially getting its ox gouged by the rapper, since they're both selling a lot of apparel, but to two distinct markets that don't necessarily want to be identified together.
  4. Not into pegging, personally, but definitely getting it from Oncor lately.
  5. Big part of that is the icemageddon recoupment fee the PUC let Oncor and Center point insert into your rectum. And mine.
  6. That seems to be a new development associated with the disposable vapes. I am more familiar with the older, sort of DIY vape apparatus.
  7. I dug around, People and other gossip mags have continuously reported for months that Carrie likes playing farmer, but it's more work than she anticipated and has trouble hiring help recently. I don't believe there's any danger of the farm going under, though.
  8. Goddammit. Quit repeating this. As stated elsewhere, there is no "public health strategy" that justifies this appointment. And the people responsible for the appointment, from the voters on up, don't understand any of the errors the CDC/FDA may have made in hindsight. Even if there is a kernel of truth to it, MAGAts don't understand it. This is all based on a vengeful, galactically stupid president and his electorate. Horse paste and bleach.
  9. Yeah apparently. It's this part of DOJ, which is probably not the best and brightest (as if any of it is anymore). https://www.justice.gov/criminal/criminal-oeo They are sort of like DA investigators, probably not as good as FBI, bit better than regular cops. This guy Schnitt was apparently a 20-something year veteran, so pretty firmly a civil servant. He's probably not really much of an insider as far as Maxwell and those machinations go. But also probably has a feel for what's normal and what's not. Wouldn't ordinarily cite gateway pundit, but will make an exception here. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/09/update-doj-deputy-chief-joseph-schnitt-immediately-releases/
  10. This administration is so fucking ridiculous and the DOJ may ultimately be the most ridiculous of all.
  11. Oh it's just trying to keep track of all the lvl 5 cock of the infinite shit.
  12. Astonishing isn't it? This was an interesting spin on it. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-situation--deferring-to-lies One of the judges was a former Dallas magistrate judge, Irma Carrillo Ramirez that I quite liked and respected. Biden appointee. Don't recall a magistrate going to the court of appeals, but a good choice.
  13. Yeah, Tuberville is dumber, but doesn't really try to act smart.
  14. It is so completely obvious with even a tiny bit of reflection that the Trump administration wants to let business go balls deep on every day americans that it boggles the mind. CPFB, student relief, this, it goes on and on.
  15. Well, sorry, I am less familiar with THC vapes than nicotine vapes. But, pretty sure that's the same sticky icky that gets burnt with the doobage and inhaled, so avoiding the whole combustion of plant material is probably a harm reduction. They're just now coming around to the notion that smoking marijuana is about as bad as smoking tobacco.
  16. Y'know, in a very first cabinet meeting of a brand-new administration, before hardly anything is done, it might be sort of appropriate to congratulate the President and express gratitude and optimism for the appointment. But six-plus months in a very active administration, that's fucking insane. I mean, if we assume that normal cabinet meetings are all about conducting the business of taking care that the laws are faithfully executed and all that good shit.
  17. I got my Eagle as a freshman in high school. My parents didn't usually have to issue ultimatums/ae, but it was pretty clear to me that my only way out of Scouts was to get my Eagle. I didn't hate it, but felt dorky about it and it did absorb some time that I wanted more to myself. Also, part of advancement in my troop was acting as an assistant patrol leader and patrol leader, which was considerable work and responsibility. Even so, I stuck around for a year after getting my eagle on "staff," which meant general supervision of patrols, patrol leaders, etc. and was more fun, because you basically just had to handle your own shit and not anyone elses. I also did the national Jamboree, which took place after my year as patrol leader and earning eagle. I thought I'd be on staff there, too, making it more fun. Instead, I miscalculated and they wanted experienced patrol leaders, so I had to fucking revert. In the BSA footage from the 1983 National Jamboree, I can be seen slugging one of my more annoying patrol members in the stomach as we "marched" to some assembly. Not real proud of that, but everyone, including the victim agreed he deserved it for being a pain in the ass.
  18. They're all just convinced that they "did it the right way" and are therefore untouchable. They don't understand that "the right way" is a complete copout by white supremists/bigsby and it's all about being brown and different. And it's not just "model minorities," either. See, e.g., an alarming proportion of Latin americans.
  19. Dallas' logo is old as shit, like 30-40-50 years. Funny thing, they didn't register a trademark and some rapper type has been using the logo for a good long time in connection with apparel and got a registration. The City Attorney's office has failed in its efforts thus far to cancel the rapper's registration, despite long predating the use.
  20. That's not really an elected-DA problem, although the buck stops with Garza. That's a dumbass or unethical line prosecutor problem. Line prosecutors, outside the Trump administration, don't change with the head of the office.
  21. Inhaling anything other than air, or other breathable gases I'm sure is sub-optimal. But vape liquids mostly produce water vapor, with nicotine or THC and flavoring. There are a lot of unknowns, yes, but compared to inhaling combustion products, it's got to be a harm-reduction strategy. So concluded the CDC's former head of the anti-smoking program.
  22. Yeah "we" do. A lot of people obviously don't.
