  1. With the right air/gas combo, your bomb will boom bigly. Csb/ while working in my studio, I heard a boom as my studio shook. First thought was a large branch had fallen on its roof. Went out to check, and saw the guy who owns the house next door on his back, and on my property. His pants, near the cuff, were on fire. There was a two gallon gas container near his burn pile, which was easily forty feet from where he lay. He tried to restart his burn by pouring gasoline on the fire. First, I extinguished the fire at the nozzle of the gas, then I looked to see if he needed assistance. He drove himself to the doctor. /csb
  2. Propane ignites when the air to gas ratio allows it to ignite, but it needs a spark. All gas, no air, no boom.q
  3. Comgrats to the MSM for keeping their jobs, i guess.
  4. From deep within the glow of the golden era you can hear a voice: we have a long way to go, statistically, before anyone else dies from measles. RFK: Hold my bear.
  5. Maybe this thought needs the huge letters. I apologize for the included editorial.
  6. If this has been posted, I missed it, and yes, this study is several years old. But, despite the study examining nearly 100% of Danish children born within the study’s parameters, its conclusions have not settled the debate. Which is to be expected when medical research becomes politicized, and the law protects those spreading misinformation for political gain. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1124634/
  7. Earth is the Alabama of the Solar System.
  8. Giving the shooter credit to know his was a suicide mission. What jibes with the fact that the shooter was able to get into a shooting position? Someone who, by themself, decided to shoot turnip, or a follower, dedicating his life to the cult?
  9. I have no trouble believing Republicans will kill their own, without a second thought, to obtain absolute power.
  10. SCOTUS said Republicans should try to get the poor sob back, not that they must get him back. A distinction custom made for the circus party.
  11. Yep. Nothing matters. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/04/supreme-court-anlysis-trump-gulag-justices-chumps.html
  12. Pretty sure Doge already ran that play. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/mrna-vaccine-treat-pancreatic-cancer
  13. My wife is apoplectic. Tonight is the third night in a row Spectrum has engaged the emergency broadcast system almost the entire PBS News Hour. No broadcast audio, just the emergency alarm and the emergency message. Over and over. For an hour(?). (I don’t know, I’m just reporting what she says. I like to be in the studio after dinner). But, what she is apoplectic about is these Spectrum carpetbagging SPUTUMSUCKERS also ran the emergency broadcast inTo the ACL Celebrates 50 Years special. YMMV. We live within pissing distance of Hays City, West of Buda.
  14. It is interesting that progressives, for the most part, stick with Democrats, because Democrats are the Conservative Party. Anyone who believes differently is deluded, and /or repulsed by the marginal influence progressives have in the Democratic Party. As a left of center voter, who often feels the Dems have shifted too far right, I may not immediately agree with the cutting edge of progressivism, but, truth be told, I usually come to see the value in the ideas they bring to the table. Still, I believe the debt needs to be brought to heel, that the rule of law must be honored, that legal precedents are the building blocks of our future, and that, while the USA needs a strong national defense, we have that, many times over. Folks who want to gut the social safety net are raging radical psychopaths. And folks who follow turnip are fascist traitors to the Constitution, and they are the immediate threat. Yes, there will be blood. Radical psychopathy seeks blood. We bear witness to the blood they are willing to shed right now. Do you think allowing starvation and unchecked disease is bloodless? Tax the obscenely wealthy, for the sake of our future, and this country’s stated values. Tax them exorbitantly, and tax their wealth, not just their income. Because that is the conservative thing to do. Get a fucking handle on defense spending. The debt will be brought under control.
  15. Asked, and answered. Edited to say to the Trump family, who seek to refinance some major loans that are coming due: Too bad. So sad.
  16. After earlier reports egg prices were falling, the bird flu says hold my beer. https://www.newsweek.com/egg-prices-record-high-2057959?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwY2xjawJk6dJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHgdqZSshzCXoffXcI88ERqFR1eGE8NaXAoqbVgPosIgiBk66tgU_KJY5YJS7_aem_JZ-9tZcvpwapMrhLu0-tVA#Echobox=1744289696
  17. US troops deployed to Panama. turnip seems to think China controls the canal. https://newrepublic.com/post/193871/trump-troops-panama-canal
  18. Wonder how this will affect the Fed’s plan to cut interest rates. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-central-bank-asks-state-lenders-reduce-dollar-purchases-sources-say-2025-04-09/
  19. As I paid off my mortgage in anticipation of this economic shitshow of uncertainty, there’s a chance it might happen.
  20. Lock her criminally stupid ass in the jailhouse. She intentionally committed voter fraud. i know nothing will be done. Laws and austerity for thee, not for me.
  21. She was a researcher/student. UT grad, with honors.
  22. Re. My daughter’s experiences. I have learned the SS number mention referenced a file specific to an individual researcher, which is known as an ORCID file. This file contains all of an individual’s published research, all who conduct research have such a file, and the SS number differentiates between two researchers who share the same name. And, yes, the fact that my daughter was employed in a program Republicans have labeled DEI has been added to my daughter’s research file. UT legal came to the conclusion that employing my daughter in another job leaves them vulnerable to the charge that “DEI hires” were just shuffled around. M daughter makes clear that she was told this notation in her file will sabotage any interview at a research university. Too bad. So sad. Here is the offending language of the Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) program she was enrolled in: ”The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at UT Health San Antonio provides an individualized, diverse and multidisciplinary learning environment for students to develop the knowledge, skills and creativity necessary to succeed in the evolving biomedical disciplines.” Here is a link to UT Health’s PREP program: https://uthscsa.edu/biomedical-sciences/programs/prep
  23. She has rejected my advice that she continue her education in Canada, France, or Germany. At the time she said that felt like surrender. Now, she says what’s the point? She’s sick of doors being slammed in her face. Also, talking with my wife more about a flagged SS number, I’ve learned that there are flags, examples being for veterans, and for the disabled. My wife did her share of hiring for the city, so I took her word for it.
  24. Yes. That’s my understanding. Hopefully, the lawyer can explain things more clearly.
