  1. I'm long since removed from being a resident of Texas, but can't imagine actually having to make contingency plans for the electric to go off for days in a cold snap. Wrapping/covering/dripping pipes, sure. But no electricity? Man, that sucks.
  2. My kid has his first race of the year this weekend. These are the highs.
  3. Holy Hell! This whole takedown of Jordan is great, but wait for it...
  4. Holy Shit. Let's play "Spot the Rhetorical Fallacies" in this short clip. I've got: Hasty Generalization, Equivocation, Red Herring, Scare Tactics (duh, it's Fox), Post Hoc, Strawman, Begging the Question... How many of the people who believe her crap could define or provide an example of any of these, let alone spot them in real time? We're doomed.
  5. I don't have time to watch this whole debacle, can someone please give me a rundown on how it's going?
  6. This sounds really bad, and I hate that I'm saying this, but... meh. We already know that he kept his businesses, including his hotels, and that foreign diplomats frequently stayed at his DC and NY hotels. It's shady, for sure. I just don't see the breaking news aspect of it.
  7. Wordle 914 3/6 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  8. Agree that the trailer doesn't look great, but is that an indictment on the show, or the people who made the trailer? Hell if I know, but here's the trailer for The Pacific for comparison:
  9. "Remains to be seen" is such a weird phrase to me. It remains to be seen whether anyone can stay healthy, or refine a shot, or develop a defensive presence, stay out of legal trouble, or anything. It's literally in the future! Everyfuckingthing remains to be seen.
  10. Yeah, we all know PETA sucks. There's no need to feed a fed horse here.
  11. Cleaning shower stalls at a 24Hr truck stop. What do I win?
  12. Oh, they've got you covered.. https://www.peta.org/teachkind/lesson-plans-activities/animal-friendly-idioms/
  13. The thing is, there is actual evidence suggesting that shorter men are at a disadvantage in presidential elections. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1048984312000884 So, I suppose an argument could be made that Ron is doing this to overcome a societal bias, rather than his own insecurity. That argument would be bullshit (it's both) but you could make it.
  14. The article posted above explains it better than I could, but the bottom line is that he's not using custom made/modified boots. He's simply tossing in aftermarket heel lifts into his off the rack boots.

  16. I know we'll eventually get to talking about the movie, but this has reminded me of one of my favorite clips. This is from the documentary about the making of the West Side Story soundtrack. The tenor here is not just some guy who fought through the audition process, it is Jose fucking Carreras here, just getting humbled.
