  1. I mean…but are we even excited about that? We should have been able to do that on the first drive.
  2. Aspects of this team that aren’t disappointing thus far: Punter Pom Squad
  3. A team with even moderate talent is up 3-0 on us and in the red zone right now to make it 10-0.
  4. I like pop tarts…
  5. So, I see that hockey season starts in a month. I’m not a huge hockey fan. I may need to change that.
  6. You sound like a liberalnazicommieterrorist who hates America and eagles and stuff.
  7. Doesn’t exactly hurt Illinois’ posse commitatus case against the admin. So stupid. This timeline is so stupid.
  8. Piccadilly was a Louisiana outfit, and as a result, their gumbo and fried catfish was on point.
  9. As Texas fans, thankfully that distraction won’t be too tempting for us. Fucking hell.
  10. Oh, the anger is real. Shit, asshole had the nerve to send me a fundraising text the moment he announced. I responded by going to his website and sending a message of “fuck you, you stole my money last time. Fuck off and let somebody who will fight take over.” I genuinely loathe the man. Like, active hatred.
  11. She is 100% going to end up on some media outlet…you know which ones…complainting about how she’s the REAL victim, this is just WOKE CANCEL CULTURE, and her gofundme will raise $500k.
  12. On my point about autism, and the fact that there almost certainly is no "increase in cases of autism because we are poisoning our kids with vaccines/tylenol," see this evaluation from someone who cares so much about autism he has literally dedicated his life and career to researching and treating it: https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/is-there-an-autism-epidemic Occam's. Fucking. Razor.
  13. But that's the condundrum....TSLA is a "meme-stock" sort of thing. The value it CURRENTLY has is because of the value of "Elon is boy genius! Everything he touch turn to gold! Elon God!" thinking. That value is not tied to its actual value as a going concern, how good a business it really is, etc. By THAT measure, it is way overvalued. Now, if the stock price were suddenly re-set to a price from normal land, with normal rules, then yes, Elon likely would be a drag on its value, and removing him would help the business. So, there's no answer. They have to keep Elon, because irrational thinking tied to him being there is what's keeping the stock price inflated. But in terms of actually positioning the company as a legitimate and well-run enterprise, he's long-term poison.
  14. Our DA is shitty. But blaming our shitty policing on the fact that we have a shitty DA is just what they are fucking doing -- complete and total distraction and excuse making for not just the fact that they are doing a shitty job on PURPOSE, but the fact that they are doing a shitty job on purpose because they have nothing but contempt for the very people who they are supposed to serve. APD has said, in rather plain terms evidenced by their conduct, "If you don't let us do our job exactly the way we want to do it, with no accountability or consequences, then fuck you, we'll let you be victims of crime -- see how you like that, peasants." The contempt that APD has for the public is inexcusable and unforgiveable. You can hate both APD and Garza. In fact, you almost certainly should. Just don't ever, EVER use the failings of one to excuse the failings of the other.
  15. Yeah, the fish is frozen beforehand, but I always understood the breading happened on-site.
  16. It don't make a shit. He's an intelligent human being with a good moral compass. In other words, someone who doesn't have a prayer of being elected to statewide office in Texas.
  17. A DA that refuses to prosecute crime matches up perfectly with a PD that decided to functionally go on strike and dial the fuck back their policing of crime because someone dared suggest several years ago that maybe they shouldn't just have free rein to do whatever the fuck they wanted and beat and shoot whoever they wanted with no real oversight or consequences. They are petulant children who took their ball and went home when someone said maybe they should follow some rules. And by the way, being a cop in Austin is one of the safest public sector jobs around. Fuck excusing APD for a single goddamned thing. Our DA sucks. But APD sucks hard regardless of that fact, and has since a time pre-dating this DA. Put your dream DA in the job, and unless that DA takes the approach of "APD can do whatever it wants, I'll back them 100% and never, ever, ever bring charges against a cop," APD will suck EXACTLY as much as it does right now.
  18. This. And also, from what I understand, legit studies that considered ALTERNATE causes (because correlation does not equal causation) found no link between prenatal tylenol usage and autism. FFS, even shitheels like the Texas Supreme Court have made it clear that scientific opinions that do not eliminate reasonably likely alternate causes are not valid opinions at all. These people are so desperate to conclude that: (1) modern medicine in some way is responsible for autism, which totally wasn't a thing before vaccines (even though widespread vaccination pre-dates the significant increase in autism diagnoses) or tylenol or whatever.... That they steadfastly refuse to consider the possibility that: (2) autism diagnoses began to rise when medicine really started taking it seriously, examining patients for it on ALL spots on the spectrum (that is, the vast majority of diagnoses of autism are on the milder end of the spectrum, so that most folks wouldn't even know the person is "autistic"), and diagnosing it. Thus, there is no material increase in autism, there's just an increase in diagnoses for those reasons. Nope. It's a crusade, and it will not end until infidels (vaccines, tylenol) are dragged through the street in triumph.
  19. Luby's was damned fine, but....the rectangle of fish wasn't right. We all got it, and we all noticed that the breading was too thick/dense. As in, you had to cut the fish with a knife. It tasted okay, but the batter used to be lighter/crispier. Or maybe we got a bad/overbreaded batch. Everything else was mi-tee-fine, though.
  20. I am literally heading out to Luby's right now, because the boy is just in town for a few more days, and that's one of his "Texas meals I can't get back at school" that he wants to hit.
  21. There is a 100% chance that the ICE interrogation of these folks just consisted of them repeating this over and over:
  22. There is a 200% chance that (1) it's prime coastline spots that will be "opened up for development," and (2) somehow, mysteriously, a company affiliated with Trump will get the deal, likely for something like a 99 year ground lease for $1 or some shit. It's just a straight-up kleptocracy, stealing the property of the American people for his personal gain, and the MAGAs think that's....a good thing. Because they are the stupidest people to ever walk the earth.
  23. Your BIL did what they all did: rammed a splintered broomstick up his own ass just to "own tha libz." Self-owning, as far as the eye can see. Tell your BIL "this is EXACTLY what you voted for, you should be happy."
  24. I prefer Larson's later work.
