Isn’t Austin College really expensive? Maybe that was part of the humble brag.
I’ve been proceeding on the assumption that a private school which really wants a student tries to get the number close to the cost of public school.
And if it’s a private school that doesn’t really want you, well f u Rice.

Koco Garcia seems like an, ahem,

Humblebrag incoming. Child was invited to visit Austin College for sports. They don't do sports scholarships but, at least, forever she'll be able to truthfully say "I could have played in college."
Anyone know anything about Austin College?

I planned ahead and grabbed a spot at a few locations. My wife promised to decide this afternoon. If @Bevo will pay attention to this thread I'll post the moment I release the other reservations. He might be able to snag one.
You're misplaying your hand. Try "For a hundred bucks I'll change the name on my reservation at _______, to @Bevo."

Having lunch in Norman OK, and there’s a big table next to me full of loud people.
they’re trying to introduce someone not from Oklahoma to country music. One guy says “always listen to George Strait or Clint black. They’re the only ones that are good and they’re virtually indistinguishable.”
Now I’m having an existential crisis. All my education, hard work and discipline have brought me to this point where I’m in Norman Oklahoma listen to this nonsense. Mistakes were made.

Update from downtown. Windy and rainy. Sounds rowdy to the south.
12 drunks and 3 panicky Karens in the lobby.

Still in OKC and now it kinda looks like we’re gonna get buttonhooked by the ass-end of this storm.
weather experts - comment please.

Sitting here in this hotel room, behind enemy lines, waiting for the tornado to come and take me to Shangri-La. Getting a little stir crazy.

Okie weathermen not afraid of a tornado. One trying to drive a car through it and one flying a helicopter around it in a damned lightning storm.

Got too stressful. I had to take a nap.
I’m back now.

This is what I’m watching. They got some guy in “Sky 5: near nobscot.”

These okies have got some balls. They got a weatherman broadcasting live from a damned helicopter. I guess he lost the bet or drew the short straw.

These weather guys need to pace themselves. No way they can keep up this intensity and the action ain’t even to OKC yet.

What’s the difference in a cell and a supercell?

Weather guy talking about a hailbow. Never heard that one before.

From time to time I travel for work and, as fate would have it, I’m at the Colcord hotel in downtown OKC.
Next door is a tall building with a bar on top so, if it starts to get sporty I’ll do some on location reporting.-

The victim was already dead by the time he was granted bail. What they apparently didn't know was that the sperm donor had been abusing the child beyond the treadmill crap, which although horrific in itself is not a fact pattern that supports a murder charge.
Bail reform doesn't often make the difference between bail denial and the setting of bail. It does often reduce the exorbitant bail amounts for lower level offenses.
Isn't a lot of this going to be judge and prosecutor dependent, forum dependent, and fact dependent?
Some judge's are easier on bail than others. Some prosecutors take it more seriously than others. Some defendant's present better than others.
Doesn't most of it land on two issues? Flight risk and danger to community?
And doesn't this guy likely pass the flight risk test? His bail issue would be "is he a danger to the community?"
And somehow someway they didn't, or couldn't, demonstrate to the judge's satisfaction that this guy's release could jeopardize the 6 year old's safety?
And if they had successfully done so, couldn't a bail condition be no visits with minors?With all that, judge could have said
1. Not a flight risk.
2. Not a danger to community except his own child.
Bail set at $1, but no contact with kids?
I get to monday morning qb this one but, kinda seems like this would have saved child's life. Shouldn't we monday morning qb things when 6 year olds die?

Before all the people saying they want to kill Jews? I know racism is bad, but man our priorities are fucked.
Its just like, my opinion, man, but at least the "kill the Jews" crowd has cloaked themselves in the cause of the oppressed Palestinian people, whether you buy that or not, up to you, but probably something like 50% of America will give you a pass on that one.
Monkey guy, what's he going to say - "I was doing the monkey dance in the face of a black woman in support of Israeli sovereignty?"
Lets see how that works out.

I see this a bit differently and will provide an example of how I view these protests which I think is more accurate.
Let's say there is a 2nd amendment protest scheduled. I support the 2nd amendment. I want to go to this rally. The point of the rally is to specifically voice discontent with State policy regarding an upcoming bill before the state.
First, I learn they are holding the rally on a campus. (I would ask the founders why it's not at the capital). Next I find out a lot of students are planning on joining. (This would seem odd to me as 2nd amendment rights don't tend to be popular among college students, so I'd ask why)
Then I find out these students are primarily fraternity folks. Hmmm.. well...
As the protest starts the plan changes from a protest to deciding to take over a building on campus.
Beyond that, the "college students from fraternities joining" are Proud Boy folks.
If I elected to STILL attend said rally (which I absolutely wouldn't and would actually be against, for the record) I could, hypothetically argue I'm not a racist, and I'm just here because I support the 2nd amendment. However, my attendance is likely going to get me labeled a racist, criminal and idiot.
Rightfully so, even though I don't specifically support those, I'm showing up and being a part of a rally that commits criminal acts and DOES support them.
Granted, I could argue the rally got co-opted, but if I knew before or saw during any of these developments, then the resulting issues regarding my reputation are entirely on me and fully deserved.
Oh, and nobody even knows or is aware of the bill that I was against to start with regarding the 2nd amendment. Nobody is even talking about it. They are talking about the Proud Boys and their criminal activities, with which I'm now associated.
That's on me.
I guess my takeaway is that, if you get in the crowd, you likely own whatever destination that crowd reaches, even if you didn't intend it.
Here's where I think we're headed, we've been here before.
Saturday night, we all go out to take one side or the other and

They bleeped out his words but I'm pretty sure Foster in Austin said something to the effect of "the people that actually hate us are too big of pussies to do anything about it [me carrying an AK down Congress avenue]." I guess he was wrong.

Adding to the pit bull argument
in Daily Texan
Posted
Imagine the interview when you’re in the ER later that night (that is if you survive because, ya know, pit bulls kill people).
”what were you trying to do CoTex?”
”well, I was gonna pick the pit bull up by the back legs and then, if that didn’t work, I was gonna stick my finger in its ass.”
”and when the dog stopped biting —- and started biting you, what were your thoughts?”
“My first thought was that I shouldn’t have tried to put my finger in an angry dog’s ass. My second thought was, I really shouldn’t have tried to put my finger…”
“And why did you do this?”
”I read on the internet that pit bulls don’t bite if you pick them up by the hind legs and finger their bums.”
”do you try everything you see on the internet?”
”uh, err…”
”are you from Florida, or aggy?”
