SIAP but this pile of shit is abruptly cutting off NOAA’s access to DoD satellite data as of July 1 to forecasters who depend on it for accuracy and track forecasts.
Taking the half glass full route, maybe this leads to a bunch of maga deaths in FL/TX/GA/MS/LA.
If they die, they die.

can’t wrap my head around it. not even one little bit. it’s surreal. i mean, we live in TEXAS. what better living example is there that the republican party is the one that insists on being all up in your shit?!?! how can you live here every single day and think that the republican party is the party of small government? i don’t know if i will every get used to how many of my peers are the dumbest, most gullible fucking chumps on the planet.
When you see people as they are it really makes you think back to growing up in Texas. Seeing what my hometown of Lampasas now is made me think back to if there were signs of this when I was a child that I would not have paid much attention to because, you know, I was a kid. I thought back and many things I saw as a kid made me realize that most of what I saw growing up was a complete farce.

5 years, $125M for Naz Reid.
You and @MNLonghornFUKM explain Naz Reid to me. What is the value he brings outside of shooting flat-footed threes like a really tall 60 year old?

I don’t. I think the Epstein stuff was a step too far for Trump. Trump has a long history of using people and then tossing them to the side. Musk does not have the ability to self-police, and has a long history of saying stuff like that.
Musk is apparently still having to answer to the NTSB/National Highway Safety Administration as well over FSD, and the latest shenanigans with robotaxi’s performance won’t endear him to them. Trump could have made that go away but he didn’t.
Edit: and by the way, I think Musk was extremely angry at the Republicans about the budget bill, because it potentially hurts Tesla’s bottom line in the long run.
I’m glad it’ll hurt at least one person that deserves it.

I saw the Lakers added Augustas Marciulionis to the summer league team. I am guessing he makes the Lakers opening night roster. Randy Bennett said he’s the best point guard they have ever had at Saint Mary’s and his father Sarunas happened to be okay at basketball. Anyone else here remember his dad on the 1992 team from Lithuania that wore the-dye shirts and got the bronze medal? Sarunas was a baller.
I saw Marciulionis play a few times at SMC and he’s an NBA guard. He’ll show that this summer I believe.

The Wizards finally have a competent front office. He’s in a great situation.
I pay for a subscription to Defector. They have two die-hard Washington fans in Chris Thompson and Albert Burneko on the staff. I am interested to hear their thoughts on this pick. They have seen and wrote about an enormous amount of horrific basketball going back to the Deadspin days, but they always give humorous and good analysis of their team.

I was watching some of the Sky-Sparks game the other day and that was not a lot of fun because both teams are Washington Wizards level horrible. Reese needs to visit Hakeem in the off-season and get at least one post move for next season. She got blocked by a player whose feet never even left the ground. The move went right into the defender. I just cannot fathom how she can be fairly athletic and understands the defensive nuances of the game, but has no idea how to shoot. It's like watching Kwame Brown when he was a Laker.

This one right here is so incredibly cruel and low. This man needs to be brought back the 2nd that fascism is destroyed here and given the ability to be part of the tribunal that will convict the people who did this. You DO NOT mess with a veteran that put their life on the line for all of us. He’s more American than any of these racist clowns.

Does he really want to start talking shit about test scores? Like Wecshler? SAT? Against AOC?
TFG ACED the SAT. He’s never missed a question on any test he has ever taken. He also is a seven time NBA Champion, rowed across the Atlantic by himself in two days and graciously never played chess because his overwhelming brainpower was judged to be too much for anyone to ever compete against.

it's always that 40% though
40 percent of voters hold back America from making any meaningful progress as a country. That 40 percent would kill their own mother if they thought TFG wanted them to do it.

A bit of good news. I know, the struggle isn't over (Lee has already said he's going to try again) , but anything positive these days seems worth celebrating.
https://newrepublic.com/post/197167/republicans-remove-sale-public-lands-budget-billMike Lee is an awful person. I hope he burns in whatever version of hell he believes in. Just an astonishingly stupid person with all the redeeming qualities that a serial killer possesses.

haha...i think of him every time i see Police ICE somewhere. He used to come and "rap" at our school assembly's in middle school.
He came out to Lampasas as well and did a school assembly for us. Glad I am not the only one that remembers seeing him.

Two things. Of course they did this and the coach of the team last coached college basketball at an HBCU school this past season. This was a slam dunk for TFG and his klan members to deny some visas.

This! Put Ana's sorry ass on ignore. Don't give him the oxygen he wants by quoting him.
It's a very easy concept.

Yeah it's not hard. I have never argued with him because it's pointless. Putting him on ignore is pretty easy. It doesn't matter what facts you bring to the argument because invariably he will keep you responding to him with personal insults. It's what people who seek attention will do. It's just not fun engaging people who act like that and the board is better when posts by people like that are just ignored.

Yes. This is where we are. I'm longing for more of our representatives to have the wisdom and self control of Derka.
You know what though, @Derka is actually really intelligent. Read through his posts in here. He’s concise and very well-informed. His contributions are great to read. Surly needs at least one of us in elected office. You put Derka there and I’ll bet we can get a congressional inquiry into the inability of WNBA players to hit open layups.

I watched it. I just kinda left at the end with no feeling of it being disappointing, but also no feeling that I had watched a great movie. It passed the time for me. Nothing else I can really say.

i’m watching the news right now and the us representative they have on just 100% earnestly said, “i was talking to theo von recently and he said he doesn’t know anyone who wants to get involved with this war in iran.”
we live in the most fucked up timeline.
I think it’s time that we get you into elected office. I think most of Surly can get behind seeing you as a representative, state or national.

Stupid people aren't capable of self-reflection. He will respond but not ever actually answer anything, not as a rhetorical tactic but because he isn't smart enough to formulate a coherent rebuttal.
I have watched his routine for years now just like everyone else. Everything he does here is for attention. I do not know him or what his life outside of this board entails, but on here he clearly stakes out positions that will garner him attention. I am not going to go further than that right now because anything else I say will not be kind. Suffice it to say I am not a fan of what he does on here.

I work in the travel industry. International travel completely cratered.
Big drop in tourists across the country already. The rest of this year is projected to be significantly down as well. Going to start seeing a bunch of restaurant closures as well as really cheap hotel deals even during what should be normal peak seasons. The rest of the world that can vote with their wallet as a way to give the middle finger to TFG is doing just that.
