The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
I want to be mad at Trump voters for something like this, but it's what happens when Democrats surrender the state.

Who had money on getting schooled by Harrison Barnes and Julian Champagnie as the difference in the game?

Castle’s top knot is regarded. Durant is having a rough game. Two lazy passes in the 4th

Fuck, impossible to defend Wemby on a fadeaway. Rockets are playing great besides some confusion on defense, San Antonio is hitting everything though.

@billfromlaketravis Sheppard is having a great shooting game but Castle is abusing him on D, I get your frustration.

This is my first Amazon broadcast-do they always feel like it’s 50% commercials?

I ate a ton of this in Madrid but I can’t imagine trying to eat 16 lbs of it over the holidays.

This Not with how we would use him.

If we're basing this on physical aptitude then we might as well trade for Jalen Green. I'm not saying your position is ridiculous, just that it's inconsistent. Castle needs to clean up some things, so does Sheppard. I like that Sheppard is hitting 40% of his threes on a team that needs that more than it does Castle's usage rate.

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
I hope this is true, but I’ll note there was the same push for free preventative care back when the Clinton’s introduced their healthcare plan in 1993, some of which was codified under the ACA, and it’s confounded economists that there wasn’t more evidence of savings as a result. Not entirely surprising, but it appears the GLP-1 drugs have the same kind of use/diet pattern as other reduced calorie treatments (I.e., cessation of use results in the the patient putting weight back on). That matters from a cost of treatment perspective since it’s basically a lifetime commitment for many.

Oh, He proposed to her four times already. Said he'd leave his wife and kids and convert from Catholic to Baptist.
Just an fyi to the OP, I don’t think anyone else watched your movie.

Fwiw, I still feel that way, despite early favorable returns. I also think it’s inconsistent to think Castle and his 5 TO per game is desirable but going through Reed’s growing pains are not.

Haha, I Miss Trey Gowdy. He‘s proof that having 22 chromosomes doesn’t always end in a miscarriage.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
I had a good conversation with one of the leaders in the Austin Infill Coalition about this and there's plenty of interest on their side for building more affordable housing as long as they aren't sacrificing profit (and given this house in 78704, I think there's a good case to be made that higher value infill development is pretty risky at the moment). That said, I'm not sure how you put the genie back in the bottle otherwise. There's good scholarship that suggest home values are more a product of income and asset inflation than tight supply.

What's the opinion on Fonda San Miguel?
I realize proximity has its advantages and the space is beautiful, but traveling and eating in Oaxaca ruined Fonda for me. It’s inferior food and drinks for twice the price.

Texas GQP is spontaneously combusting
Let me add, I’m not mad at someone like Tim Dunn that wants to impose his weird, fringe beliefs on his fellows. I’m mad that the Chamber of Commerce types on the right who disagree with him have zero balls.

Let’s be fair, they have ample hate for white evangelicals, too, particularly those actually following the lessons of the gospels. Only bad news for thee…

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Gerry reiterated that he’s in the class if Texas wants him but that Texas is looking around and might be prioritizing a juco who’s a cleaner/safer fit at nose.

Re: Newsome, at least he fucking did something. I'm a little over the establishment Dem "we have to fight" but it's empty rhetoric.

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
I don’t think either of those were by consensus considered “2024 truisms”. That’s basically a straw man argument and while we should be happy about the results last night, we still have every significant lever of power in the hands of Republicans for the foreseeable future.

Netflix to produce Witcher series starring Henry Cavill
Same, I’ve tried watching it three times now and keep falling asleep in ep one. For me, the game is meant to be dark fantasy and the season premiere looks like a cosplay convention. They should be looking to GOT for production inspiration, not Xena Warrior Princess.

The Democratic Party
I was referring to this when I was describing the Dems generational struggles with communication. Too many of the older crowd are trying to imitate Kennedy or MLK (even Obama is prone to this but he’s a world class speaker and funny so he can get away with it). Everyone else needs practice on getting to the point quicker. I listened to Jake Auchincloss’s interview with Derek Thompson and he’s a great example of a compelling biography held hostage by his ambition to sound like a well educated Harvard man.

The Democratic Party
Well, the evidence is that the Democratic brand is so tarnished there an independent does better, so I’m not sure what underpins @chainsaw’s faith here.
