When the majority party is attempting to maintain power through voter suppression, certainly.

87th Texas Legislature
The House doesn’t gavel back in until 10am tomorrow so they technically haven’t broken quorum yet and thus can’t be held. But they’re already in the air now anyway.

Bosch - Season 7 June 25
The back half of the season was definitely stronger but yeah, wasn’t their best work. Bottom two season along with season one.

Shooting at Austin protest tonight, 1 dead
The kids who didn’t actually shoot and kill anyone?

Austin Mass Shooting
Not that the Save Austin Now hucksters give a shit about being accurate or truthful but a prosecutor’s notes aren’t evidence.

If NC State IS out, putting MSU through and having Texas and Vandy play a one off would make most sense

Mass casualty building collapse in Miami
Construction defect claims have to be brought within 10 years of the building’s completion in Texas and I’d bet Florida has the same thing. So if the building was actually completed in 1981, any claim against the builder, contractors, engineer, architect, etc. lapsed 30 years ago.

Austin Mass Shooting
Per the Statesman:

That depends entirely on what exactly “being involved” means.

Austin Mass Shooting
How does being affiliated with a gang where one or more members of that gang or an opposing gang engages in a shooting meet one of these three exactly?

Austin Mass Shooting
Unlawful possession is a felony but possession of a firearm by a minor isn't unlawful possession. Seems they were unlawfully carrying, which is a misdemeanor. Reckless discharge of a firearm in a county with more than 100k people is a misdemeanor. Discharging a firearm in a manner that constitutes disorderly conduct is also a misdemeanor. The discharge could have been in a manner that would constitute aggravated assault, which is a felony, but I don't think anyone on here has enough information to really say. No clue on that last part.

Nor should he. That's not his job.

Wolfgang Puck can’t find waiters because of labor shortage
Why shouldn't the restaurant go under if they can't figure how to turn a profit while paying market wages?

It's the Wild Wild West! Student-athletes win major battle with NCAA over compensation
Anti-trust not at all being my thing, might the difference be that a conference isn’t a monopoly because there are numerous conferences?
-
It's the Wild Wild West! Student-athletes win major battle with NCAA over compensation
Because the premise underlying the question, that schools aren’t already pricing tickets with an goal of maximizing revenues, was absurd.
-

Why are you under the impression that schools aren't already charging as much as the market will bear?

Pretty much. I think they can also provide educational awards (everyone with a 3.0 gpa gets $1000!) and they can offer scholarships beyond eligibility (pay for grad school, pay for returning to undergrad if leaving early for the NFL, etc.).

Top Chef Portland
Yeah, sauces wouldn’t work. And it’d be tough for a judge to mentally judge a dish sans sauce after having tasted it with the sauce, although they should still make an effort to IMO.
-
Top Chef Portland
If a component is left off any plate, every judge should have to remove that component so the dish can be fairly judged without it. If Dawn still had a better dish than Jaime without that component, fine, but it’s bullshit to get credit for something she failed at.

She doesn’t need to make a stop at the commission to make money. Plenty of firms are happy to have a justice on the payroll.

Yeah. The only penalty in the law banning businesses from requiring proof of vaccination is the state can’t contract with the business.
