    The fact that a lot of them don't seem to like each other might be the biggest reason nobody is catching on to their existence.  It's pretty fucking genius.  A bunch of people who don't all like each other form an alliance and each alliance member forms a deep, sincere friendship with one person from outside the alliance.  Then, at some point in the next few weeks, the alliance member has to totally fuck over their friend and probably seriously fuck up what would have been a life long friendship.  I know it's a game, but something about this whole set up feels yucky.  And I don't think it's about race.  I think if everybody in the equation was white, it would still feel yucky.  It's probably the fact that nobody seems to be playing the game they want to play to advance the cause and it's made the season not very fun to watch.  I know if I'm Derek X, I'm letting Hannah's calls go to voicemail for about 6 months.  TIffany is going to completely destroy Claire when she turns on her.  I wish they had played it straight and just made sure they stacked the jury with cookout members.   I know their goal is the first black BB winner, but this almost feels like it deserves an asterisk.  

    I can't say it feels yucky to me but perhaps the most dominant alliance in the show's history just buzzsawing through the rest of the cast also isn't very good television.

  2. Claire passing up an opportunity to put three cookout members on the block seems to destroy the theory that she knows about the cookout but is afraid to say it aloud for fear of being cancelled?

    Two things totally confused me tonight though but maybe I just missed something:

    1. Is the secret HOH only a secret until Thursday night when they’re outed by being sat out of the HOH comp or are they just required to throw the HOH comp?

    2. Why did Derek F play the high roller room when just to throw it if it’s a secret that he even played?

  3. Abbott's kids probably went to private schools.
    I really doubt Abbott has his finger on the pulse of all of the parents of the 5 million+ kids who are under 12 and can't be vaccinated.
    What's he going to do to the districts that are like "fuck it, we'll pay the fines!", send DPS after the principals and superintendents ands school boards?

    Since you mentioned Abbott’s kids, here’s his daughter’s LinkedIn for no particular reason:

  4. Houston right wing radio this am - the Texas Superme court is ready to back the governor’s power on mask mandates on these rouge democratic counties !

    The Texas Supreme Court are mostly as big of shitbags as Abbott so yeah, probably

  5. I agree the evictions have been extremely drama free so far but there are some good personalities and most of the house is actively playing the game so I’m optimistic now that these two huge (and overlapping) alliances have to start going after each other.

  6. Except for earlier in July when a Jr Prosecutor from his office resigned and filed a complaint saying she was forced to withhold evidence

    Travis County child abuse prosecutor quits over request to delete emails


    And everyone who isn’t a Save Austin Now moron could tell she was some combination of completely full of shit and a complete fucking dumbass.

  7. What in the world did I just watch. Visually stunning. Story telling is confusing and underwhelming on first watch as all get out.

    Yeah, this movie mostly sucked. Although parts of it were truly visually stunning, the cinematography was so masturbatory that it was largely to the detriment of the story and to the characters.
  8. “I have had a hell of a day. A real bad day. This is the cherry on top of shit days that I have had. And so…”
    if they aren’t curious I feel like you might be in a room alone.
    they will always be curious. Trust in the path I have set forth.
    wow that’s fucker’s house?

    Half question, half advice. If the case is pretty open and shut like OP's appears to be, how much negotiating leverage does he have? Giving up 30-40% of your case to a trial lawyer seems awfully rich. If the insurance company has already accepted liability like he says, could he find a lawyer to paper the deal for 10-15% - or better yet, a flat fee?

    The insurance company accepting liability is rarely what the biggest fight is about.

  10. I probably just missed something in the rules but how did they decide where everyone shot from in the HOH comp? It sounded like it was their choice but what if two people wanted to shoot from the same spot?

  11. It's been an hour or two since this broke. I'm waiting to hear about Bergstrom being shut down and the state guard being sent in by Abbot to apprehend these "criminals" fleeing. 

    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.
