  1. The bikers call themselves WTFrs - Wind Therapy Freedom Riders. This was part of a pro-police, anti-Adler demonstration yesterday downtown. The WTFrs claim that the Proud Boys photobombed them lulz.
  2. "A king's wrath strikes terror like the roar of a lion." That's the first part of Proverbs 20:2 from the New International Version. I can see why he went with the NIV. The King James Version, "The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion" is a tad less intimidating and just doesn't have the same zip to it.
  3. Watch it again.
  4. To that point, Trump today appeared to be wearing the same fabric mask that he pulled out of his coat pocket during the debate. Couldn't bother to put on an N95.
  5. CNN put together a timeline video of Trump's past week...
  6. I ran her account through TwitterAudit, which is a site that can tell you if an account is fake or how many fake followers and account has. Right now it says that 60% of her followers are real and 40% are fake. I did the same thing 2 or 3 years ago and posted the results. I think it was on TOS. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I'm pretty sure her percentage of fake followers was quite a bit higher back then. IMO the reason you see a decrease in followers since her high mark of 49k in 2015 is because she probably deleted a bunch of the ones that were bad, obvious fakes in order to get her percentage of fake followers down. I'm sure she's picked up some new real followers since she started this city council run. But the only other time she has gotten any real traction online that would have resulted in Twitter follows was when the Gamergate fiasco happened in late 2014. She probably picked up some followers then who were actually real people which explains part of the increase in followers between Jan 2014 and March 2015.
  7. You can buy fake Twitter followers from a number of sites that sell them. I just looked at one of them, and you can buy 1000 followers for $75. The more you buy, the cheaper they are. And other sites sell them even cheaper. I'm pretty sure this is how she got the bulk of her followers. I also think she has personally created a few sock Twitter accounts that "like", retweet and reply to her posts. If you go through the likes on her tweets, you'll see a few fishy looking anonymous accounts that consistently like and retweet her stuff. I'm pretty sure those are her socks.
  8. I believe I posted this somewhere a while back, but I'll post it again here. Earlier this year Mother Jones published this article that sheds some light on Trump's massive debt, much of which is due soon. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/06/donald-trump-loans-deutsche-bank/

  10. It’s a Trump MAGA hat. Not sure why she would blur it out.
  11. We’re having the same problem. I just texted my daughter’s teacher who said the the AISD portal is down right now.
  12. That dude was a FB at TCU.
  13. I’ve never bought a new amp. I’ve received two new guitars as gifts, but I’ve never bought a new guitar myself. Started buying used guitars in my teens cuz that’s what I could afford. And given a limited budget, I always chose to spend more money on my amps than on my guitars. Picked up my P-bass from the luthier. I’ll post some pics on P-bass Day whenever that happens. On the way out the door, I spotted a familiar face.
  14. Congrats on the incoming basses! There is P-bass in the air. I just got a call from my luthier that my MIJ P-Bass that needed a new nut and a setup is ready for pickup.
  15. This showed up in the game thread last night thanks to Phlegm. Posting here for posterity.
  16. My GF is an oncology nurse in Austin and gave Hershel a lot of his targeted therapy after his cancer diagnosis. She got to know Miss Tootsie and Kerry too because they both drove Hershel into Austin for his treatments, but she didn’t find out that they owned a BBQ restaurant until she had been treating him for a few weeks. She came home one day and asked me if I’d ever heard of Snow’s lol. Miss Tootsie and Kerry invited her and another nurse to come out for BBQ, so I got to join them. We got there pretty early, but there was already a line. Kerry saw us when we got there and brought us to a table close to the pits. Hershel was there in his wheelchair. They gave us the royal treatment. Brought us all the food we could eat, gave us the full tour of the pits, let me ask all the questions I had about how they cooked their brisket and sent us home with even more meat. Getting to meet Miss Tootsie and watching up close how she interacted with everyone was the highlight for me. Just an incredibly strong woman with a huge heart and a ton of love for everyone.
  17. The Esquire is looking great, Deej! You may have explained this before, but what does the switch do on an Esquire?
