  1. I guess we'll see what happens when the bird flu mutates into something transmissible from human to human. Hopefully we're able to pull together an mRNA vaccine in short order, and at that point we'll see if these idiots stick to their guns. With a mortality rate of ~50%, that might end up addressing the issue rather quickly.
  2. 35% tariff in three weeks ...
  3. And, by the way, it looks like this may have been Commissioner Buster Baldwin, the guy who also was vehemently opposed to the sirens: Of course, he's dead so he doesn't get to take responsibility for his handiwork.
  4. HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. At first I was like - no way that's real. But it IS real. And still up. And he's a father - presumably with only sons, right? EDIT: spoke too soon. He does have daughters. And he even clarified in a follow-up tweet: "If Trump did that to my daughters, forgiving him would break me. But Jesus calls me to forgive, as He forgave me. I’d need His strength every day. It would be the hardest, holiest act of love I could ever choose. But I would still politically support him as my president, yes." Is this parody, or is this motherfucker that broke-brained?
  5. "I know their names & why they're being suppressed ..."
  6. True, but the commissioner on the left seems to be fully representative of the nut job conspiracy theorists that came in to talk.
  7. Frank Wade is absolutely a dumb piece of shit, but Susan Deininger of 103 Turnberry Cir, Kerrville, TX seems multiple degrees more unhinged and appears to show up to most of the Kerrville board meetings even though she's not on the board. Now, the ultimate decision was made by commmissioners (not Frank or Susan), and to their credit they didn't seem to be reciting the same far right talking points as those two. Still made a brain dead decision that cost a multitude of unnecessary deaths, though, so they can get fucked too.
  8. Agreed - this seems like one of those situations where the AFA president was more than happy to bitch about whatever decision the fire chief made. I mean - can you imagine the shit storm that these same folks would have kicked up if a handful of folks in Austin had drowned because too many AFD resources were sent to Kerr County?
  9. Jesus christ - this is really going to be their play??? Such obvious bullshit. All it takes, though, is the AFA president to sling some accusations at a black man, and here comes the entire right-wing echo chamber to chant it into "truth" for 40% of the country.
  10. So should we be going to the shooting range weekly at this point? It kinda feels like we should, the way things are going.
  11. Directionally, that's great, but comparing this to 2024 paints a limited picture given the last couple of year SSTs were pretty much off-the-charts high compared to historical data. Hopefully, it translates to fewer and less intense hurricanes this season, though.
  12. Jesus fucking Christ, Texas.
  13. In Imma's defense, the passive aggressive "???" infuriates me also.
