  1. From the Daily Beast: When the palace announced Kate’s abdominal surgery in January, it added that she hoped her personal medical information would remain private. One friend told the Times, “It’s not that they (Kate and William) didn’t think there would be lots of speculation and interest, but they had confidence that people would give them the space they asked for, which they did for about a month.” It's amusing to me that they are so out of touch to think that the tabloids would just be totally cool with no real explanation about why the biggest star of the family would be out of commission for months on end. They're now in total victim mode as if these things have just happened to them. And this: friends say what William has “found especially challenging in recent weeks…is the feeling that the couple’s bubble is coming under threat, and that his wife is experiencing some of what his mother went through.” Please. Willy is now trying to deflect from the stories about his pegging partner and what an entitled prick he is behind the scenes.
  2. Oh, and a Nate Paul connection, too. 🍿
  3. How does their press team let this happen?

    Texas Primaries

    I'm talking about the people who don't like him but still vote for him because he has an R next to his name. The opposite, but equally dumb are the people who say, "Garza is doing a shit job, but I'm still voting for him because fuck this Red money supporting his opponent."

    Texas Primaries

    I voted against Garza, and I'm no Republican. Yes, "Red" money targeted him, but voting for Garza just because Rs opposed him makes you no better than the Rs who continue to support Trump simply because he's on their same team.
  6. This. He's found a group of lawyers as cynical and power hungry as he is, and they are going on a rampage. They've got their greatest hits list of issues -- abortion, elections, immigration, etc. -- and they're going to sue anyone and anywhere that will get them in the news as the true defenders of whatever the fuck they think the MAGA crowd is up in arms about. We know (and he knows) that the actual facts don't matter as long as he gets to flex on some Facebook "news" outlet. Fuck him. Fuck these lawyers signing on to these lawsuits. And fuck the people giving this dickhead felon a pass for all of this bullshit.

    Did you do the prix fixe or a la carte?
  8. I just posted in the Abbott thread about how bad these tv hosts are at interviewing. Welker is bad, but she's not alone in letting the guests say whatever the fuck they want with zero threat of being called out.
  9. I wish the media were better at interviewing. She should have followed up by asking what the fuck difference does the number make, and why won't he answer the question. And it never ceases to amaze how bad he is at talking. Such an insincere and dumb man.
  10. I love this movie, and this is my favorite scene. Olympia Dukakis and John Mahoney were perfection.
  11. I don't think they really give a shit about smart traffic flow. How else are they going to convince people that mass transit is the solution to their traffic woes? Meanwhile, we have City Council members talking a big game about initiatives (read: spending money) to help combat climate change. How about all the cars sitting through multiple light cycles trying to make a fucking left turn to get to work because some dipshit timed the light to let exactly four cars through during rush hour? We'll be reminded that improved sidewalks and bike lanes are what passed in the mobility bond. I'm not sure it would have gotten the same support if people understood the trade off of constricting traffic flow to get those improvements.
  12. Well he was just going through all the permutations.
  13. And it was probably a $100 fake version anyway.
  14. Link? Pos rep for the Red Lobster Biscuit mix instead of Bisquick for the sausage balls. The kids want chili dogs, so I'll make the chili, and we'll have guac, queso, and pico. It's just the four of us, and I want everything to be ready and self-serve.
  15. I can't speak for others, but I answer surveys about planned projects, show up to planning meetings (though not full blown council meetings -- talk about a magnet for the best and worst), and send feedback to the city departments and my councilwoman. Do you know how many times a plan has been modified or even slowed down for more review based on neighborhood feedback? Zero. Guess how many times I've even gotten a response to very neighborhood specific concerns I've shared? Zero. As has been discussed on this thread previously, it feels like the city hires consultants who are here for about 10 minutes, then they look at a street map and say, "here's how we're going to improve!" If people who actually live in the area have a different opinion, we're labeled NIMBYs or obstructionists or worse. I agree with you that we've missed the best window to really improve, and I bet we agree on a lot more. The city can't make everyone happy. I get that. I just wish that someone would listen to our very local perspectives and input before finalizing a plan and then complaining that we don't appreciate the effort.
  16. Yes. But I know of several kids who did not take AP classes or advanced math and got into Education and Communications majors.
  17. The city would get a lot more buy in if they'd actually listen to what the people have to say instead of charging ahead with stupid shit and then telling us that we don't know what we're talking about.
  18. Peterson was high school golf teammates with Phil Mickelson. I think he even followed him to ASU but couldn't make it there as a golfer. As I recall, the theory about him not wanting to be tied down with a family related directly to his belief that he should be living the lifestyle he deserved like his buddy Phil.
  19. I'm starting to think putting him in a holding cell until he completes his depo is in play. Monetary sanctions aren't going to faze him one bit. Neither would the threat of a death penalty sanction -- he's already said he won't put on a defense, so what good does it do to threaten to take it away? The voters in Travis County aren't going to vote out a judge who's trying to get a lawless litigant to comply with her order. And Kenny Boy would probably fundraise the shit out of that situation.
  20. That was all after the plaintiffs were fired, and they're focusing on discovery relating to their termination. It could come up later as they're proving up damages, but Dorfman prob is not a priority. Side note: I've met Dorfman several times, and my impression is that he's a nice enough guy but not that smart.
  21. Those emails are long gone. Litigation hold? Why would we have done that?
  22. Yes. And hurricanes* (see e.g., Rita, 2005). *Hurricanes that never get within 100 miles of Austin.
  23. Add to that 100 hours without power in 2023. I'll admit, this shit triggers me. But I'm not rushing to the HEB because if/when we lose power again, I'm not taking my Texas toast and toilet paper with me to the Marriott.
  24. Justices Devine and Blacklock are both up for reelection this year.
  25. Correct. Nate Paul is not a party defendant.
