Just in time, you wonk-eyed piece of shit.

4th of July Texas Flood
Umm ... this is ridiculous. Will all of these rivers flood at some point? Sure. For 80% of them, you'll have lots of lead time. The siren idea is only really necessary for the Hill Country and other areas where there is extreme flash flooding. Trying to make this out as a problem that requires a $300m solution is a bit insane.

This right here. Re-posting the pic that I found from the north bank of the Guadalupe: It just seems crazy to me that this hasn't been an issue a number of times before for those lowest cabins.

I don't think anyone here is really pointing fingers because the victims were rich white Christians. I think that was just a side conversation. The fingers are being pointed at the local officials and camp management for knowing the risks (as people who live in the hill country) and, in the first case, choosing to waive off reasonable safety mechanisms (river gauges + sirens) and, in the second place, not having in place and/or following an emergency plan for how to get 100+ (?) under-10-yos out of a flood plain when the worst case scenario happened.

Don't think so - Camp Mystic Guadalupe is right on the Guadalupe, and my understanding was that picture is of the younger girl cabins from the north bank. Happy to be corrected if I got that wrong, though.

4th of July Texas Flood
I ran across the picture of the Camp Mystic cabin locations, and I have to admit that I was shocked that they'd put young kids at this location on a river subject to flash flooding. I guess it hasn't been a problem before now, that just doesn't seem like much elevation. https://www.texastribune.org/2025/07/05/camp-mystic-texas-hill-country-flooding-rescue/

July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
Yup - the video of this rescue was from Friday morning. I suspect it's responsible for a lot of confusion.

From the source of the original reporting: https://kerrcountylead.com/the-miraculous-story-of-2-girls-found-turns-out-to-not-so-miraculous/ Damn, this sucks.

July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
Well, shit ...

Camp website is overrun, but the Google preview says "Camp Mystic is a private Christian summer camp for girls. Established in 1926, Mystic is nestled ..." so I assume they're getting this directly from the camp's website.

Translation: While at DOGE, Big Balls located a weakness (or created a backdoor) in the SSA system so that he can embezzle tens of billions (or trillions, if he screws up the decimal place again) over the next few years while "working for" the SSA.- Trump’s America
I thought you were joking. And of course the fucking John Birch Society re-surfaces for this insanity.- Nancy Mace: Sexual assault survivor or cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs?
So Mamdani's parents are Indian-Ugandan and Indian-American, but Fox is going to paint him as a Communist radicalized in the madrasas in Pakistan, aren't they?- Trump’s America

Btw - Campos was the same bitch that chased Cannarella in the 13th of a tourney game a couple of years ago. Amazing that they'd put an attention whore with obvious Little Man syndrome behind the plate in the CWS Finals.- 2025 College World Series
Angel needs to watch out for the Wolcott treatment ...- ICE activity/raids
So is the next step that some Democratic congressperson gets a judicial ruling that ICE is violating the law and takes some U.S. Marshals to escort them around the ICE facilities? I mean, it feels like we're due to hit the next level of constitutional crisis any time now, so I look forward to the armed confrontation between ICE and US Marshals.- ICE activity/raids
You know, for all the crying about TdA at that Aurora apartment complex (which, by Fox News' own accounts is still going on), it's a mystery why ICE hasn't descended en masse on that complex to deal with that issue once and for all. They're a bunch of performative pussies, you say? Oh, yeah, well that checks out ...- Tracking Trump Administration and Cabinet picks
Slotkin going hard to the paint! Kudos to her for not coming off fake as shit.- Trump’s America
Ummm ... so did pretty much the entirety of his first term cabinet. At this point - Just staaaahhp with these stories already.- Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran.
