  1. I'm surprised by the lack of equity or bond market reaction to Trump firing Lisa Cook Trump moves to fire Lisa Cook from Federal Reserve board
  2. are NFTs even still a thing? seems so very passing fad at this point
  3. So tuition is free?
  4. Be interesting to see that section get some life again. That entire property always seems like a dead zone.
  5. Fingers crossed power comes back over night. Kids last day of school is going to suck if there is no power in the home.
  6. Now we wait for Austin Energy power restoration. Feels like it could be a while. The texting service has no ETA
  7. Ho making references to Denny's Appeals court Judge Ho rebukes Supreme Court for deportation flight decision
  8. APD clearance rate https://www.austintexas.gov/news/austin-police-department-homicide-unit-achieves-100-clearance-rate-2023
  9. But will the Senate pass it?
  10. The state (GOP) has been winning for years. Their success appears to be accelerating in terms of momentum. I don't see that stopping any time soon.
  11. I view TEA takeover of AISD as an existential issue. It is likely the action that would require me to remove my children from AISD. I have no desire for political moves that play around with that outcome.
  12. On a different topic, years ago Bozo mentioned the Austin Monitor as a source of local news. I liked their product and donated over the past couple of years. Austin Monitor announced an asset sale to the Texas Tribune. Even after reading the FAQ I still don't quite understand what is going on or why. Other than I'm assuming the Austin Monitor had a funding issue. The Austin Monitor joins forces with the Texas Tribune - Austin MonitorAustin Monitor
  13. Call me pessimistic but I don't see how performance could improve enough between now and December for the Board to feel confident enough to not pull the charter school safety valve lever. Risking the 5th "F" is a decision borne from hubris or a complete failure in strategic risk management.
  14. I thought Voice of America had already been shut down.
  15. 0.5 inch in 78757 over 30 minutes. Most of it just ends up as runoff
