  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Yeah, the fish is frozen beforehand, but I always understood the breading happened on-site.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. There is a 100% chance that the ICE interrogation of these folks just consisted of them repeating this over and over:
  13. 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.
  14. 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."
  15. I prefer Larson's later work.
  16. Fuck all those. They are images of an Austin that was, not the Austin that is. Tell your AI to give us a logo that has a techbro douche driving a cybertruck slow in the fast lane on Mopac on his way to some overcrowded new "it" joint full of 200 "influencers" all recording themselves drinking $28 cocktails and eating mediocre $30 "small plates." That there would be an accurate brand.
  17. Ain't it amazing how that "crisis of ufos/drones/military spy aircraft!" in New Jersey and whatnot leading up the election just went...poof, into nothingness? And all the people who were all riled up about it, well, they aren't asking any questions about whether they were manipulated or not? We are the dumbest country, in the dumbest timeline, full of the dumbest people, and we genuinely do not have any right or basis to complain about our crashing fall. We chose it, we earned it. We're getting what's coming to us, hard and with no lube.
  18. Caleb. You red-faced fuck. This is exactly, 100%, right in the middle of the bullseye of what all of you retrograde, racist, piece of shit farmers voted for. You ordered this shit sandwich. Now eat it, you vile sonofabitch. You were willing to take all of this -- shit, you were enthusiastic about it because "FUCK THEM CHICOMS!" -- so long as you got brown people in chains who you could laugh at and say "suck it, wetback!" You got it all. Now fucking eat it.
  19. The quisling minorities who work with/for/in support of the regime always do so out of the belief that they'll be fine, because they are "one of the good ones." They are blind to the rock-solid, guaranteed, zero departure from, fact: they are at best, for a short time, "one of the useful ones." Which means they are always, eventually, "one of the disposable ones." Just because you're one of the LAST people purged doesn't mean you aren't going to be purged. You aren't a member of the white christian nationalist club, and never ever will be. Why they can't see it....I will never understand.
  20. I dunno. I can't help but think that his death.....was by design.
  21. Oh, no. Just some OTHER people's guns, so that's just fine. Because, ummm, the absolute statement of "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!", which they've been shouting about for years as having no wiggle room and NO exceptions....well, gee, turns out it has one giant exception: "except, of course, for people who are not favored by the regime, who have no right to keep and bear arms whatsoever." Y'all must have missed that part, it's clear as day, right there in the Constitution, Fascism Special Edition.
  22. I’m sure they had 28 “charrettes” to get to the result. You gotta have charrettes.
  23. Cracker Barrel has a new logo they aren’t using…maybe we could just buy that off them for cheap?
