  1. He's trying to distract from the reporting about how his bill will decimate the hemp farmers, and he gets the bonus of ginning up pressure on Abbott to sign it. You can buy all kinds of dangerous shit online, but this is what we're crying about? Fuck him and those pussies standing around him.

    Restaurant recs for London with kids (6-8 years old)? Staying near Kings Cross but comfortable taking the tube and walking. 

    genre’s: Indian, Sunday Roast, Thai, traditional, fish and chips, desserts

    The Mayfair Chippy for fish and chips. They have locations in Mayfair (duh) and Knightsbridge.

    Just a PSA if any of y’all are going to game today. It’s graduation for UT so I would avoid coming down MLK as it will in all likelihood be a shitshow. 

    They had Manor closed over I35 last night for pedestrians and rickshaws. Would've been nice to know that before sitting on the access road for an extra half an hour to get across 35 on MLK. I expect it will be the same today.

    One runner up finish and they’re now the most knowledgeable baseball fans in the country 

    JFC this. Every fucking one of them sitting near me over three games was insufferable. Would not shut up telling their buddies about a player's stats, why a certain pitch they had just thrown was okay but not ideal, how the umps didn't understand how to call a check swing, and on and on and fucking on.

    Perhaps Ryan inaccurately holds Scarlett accountable for the predicament he has found himself in, compounded by the fact that he's married to a vindictive control freak. 

    I'm in no way defending him, just trying to find logic as to why Scarlett Johansson sticks in his craw so bad and that quite possibly rubs off on Ryan's lovely wife as well. 

     

    Maybe because Scarlett Johansson peaced out of their marriage after he had an affair with Blake Lively while filming The Green Lantern. I think he's just as much a control freak as his wife, and he's likely still pissed he couldn't control his then-wife not putting up with his bullshit.

    Even the guy who likes the bike lanes gets it: 

    Klipp is not surprised the city got so much negative feedback.

    “It doesn’t shock me at all. I feel like the bike lanes were installed with very little notice to any of the residents. It seemed like they just kind of popped up overnight, and it was a shock to the system, especially for people who live on the streets, with the bike lanes. I think some advanced notice or communication from the city about what was being implemented before it was done would have probably alleviated some of that shock,” said Klipp.

    The city does shit like this all the time without having any conversations with the neighborhoods. Why? Just get some fucking feedback and information about what would be beneficial before plowing ahead. Have a conversation before wasting money based a consultant's recommendations for a road they've driven probably twice, FFS.

    I was pretty close to this viewpoint at this time. Top row of the grandstand on 16.

    We were sitting in someone's chairs directly behind the 16 green when those groups came through. That was my favorite spot Tuesday for sure.

    So those of you who have been, how are you predominantly getting tickets? Mostly a corporate affair or are y’all hitting the lottery?

    I've been trying through the lottery for 20 years but never won. This was the year I was making it happen, so I just bought from StubHub, and it was worth every penny.

  8. I enter the lottery every year, and I've never gotten tickets. Another friend has won it four times, so take your chance I guess. But if you want to go, just bite the bullet and go secondary market. I bought from StubHub, and I had tickets in hand about a week beforehand. No issues.

    First day was Monday, and we got about four hours of course time before they blew the weather horn and kicked everyone out. We didn't even try the store because the line was at least 90 minutes long. There were very few players on the course, but having never been before, we planned on our first day being more about the course than the golf. For anyone entering the lottery next year, don't ask for Monday (unless you got them for this year). ANGC announced that Monday ticket holders would be guaranteed Monday for 2026 to make up for the (almost) rain out.

    Tuesday was amazing, Chamber of Commerce weather, and most players were on the course. We found two chairs with a front row seat behind 16 green and watched several groups, including many of their caddies, skip their balls across the water. So fun. Best foursome was Freddie, JT, Kopeka, and Adam Scott. Caught up with Jordan and Zach Johnson at Amen Corner. Spent a small fortune in the store, and had several Crows Nests to wash down all those sandwiches. Great fucking day. Still pinching myself that I was there, and I can't wait to get back.

  9. Athens will be at a standstill on game day, and there is very little parking around campus. If you can't stay in Athens, then rent a car and plan to get to town early. You can Uber to/from ATL, but you'll still have to get somewhere away from campus for them to pick you up after the game. There is also a shuttle service between the ATL airport and Athens: https://groometransportation.com/athens/?&sd_client_id=268b72e3-8466-4071-8d48-b9528bad0579

    I have a kid at UGA, and although I have not been to a game yet, I have seen how bad the traffic is for any weekend event. The downtown and campus areas just can't handle the influx of cars. Plan to walk a lot.

  10. Check around on Thursday afternoon before the 24-hour cancellation window closes, and set some notifications/alerts on Open Table and Resy for the places you might like that are already booked. Jeffrey's and J. Carver's are pretty reliable. Check the Austin specific page for some other recs. Good luck, and happy anniversary.

    they don't want you there

    Oh, they want my money.

    My daughter loves it, so on balance, it's been a good choice for her. And we've agreed to not discuss football because I want to throat punch most of their fans and head coach.

    UGA is already way down that path. Their out of state acceptance rate has been super low and keeps going lower each class. Honors college acceptance for out of state is even worse. Most of my daughter’s friends are Atlanta kids that are going for free. It drives her nuts when they talk about it because most didn’t want to go there and are going for free while we tote most of the cost of her going.

    Definitely. A few of my UGA daughter's HS senior friends got rejected after deferral, and at least two of them were auto-admit to Texas. I guess their essays or test scores knocked them out? FWIW, a college admissions account I still follow on social media says the problem is that everyone (exaggeration, I know) wants to go to the same 10 schools, so as that trend continues, it's just going to get harder.

    A frustrating aspect of going to UGA from out-of-state is that you register for classes after the in-state kids register. So yes, not only are we paying tuition when they are going for free, but the non-Georgia residents are getting the leftover course choices too. It hasn't been a big problem yet, but my TEX emotional scars have me a little concerned when she gets to needing those upper level required classes. It's total bullshit.

  13. Wrapping up a few days here. Death Becomes Her was so, so good. Highly recommend.

    As for notable meals, we did pre-show dinner at Frena (middle eastern, pretty good but expensive, and I've had better), Sunday brunch at Balthazar, dinner at Polo Bar (a few tables over from Roger Goodell), pizza at San Matteo on 2nd Ave (I think @PenelopeWitherspoon rec'd that up thread, so thanks!) with the best gelato after at Anita. We stayed on UES, and hung around near the St. Patrick's Day parade finish line on Monday. I've never seen so many large men in kilts putting down Guinness on the street, so that was good people watching.

    Oh.....so you HAVE heard of Brisketexan's FreedomEagleGunJesusPatriot Academy?  Enrollment is open today!

    I assume you're online only so you can serve as many children of Texas citizens possible with fewer actual teachers. I mean, that's what all the new for-profit schools will look like, right?
