  1. Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear but I wasn't giving you a hard time over that. I know where you stand on gun violence. It was a commentary on the authorities telling us the public isn't in danger because the shooter only wanted to kill these specific people, and we've become so conditioned to all this that we as a country really are relieved that it wasn't the usual, random mass shooting.
  2. Three dead and two wounded, the shooter at large, and we're all just relieved that this wasn't a regular mass shooting. What a country.
  3. He's going to be their nominee in 2024.
  4. "When you report, you have a mass shooting. When you report you find something very wrong with multiple people being shot. If we didn't do any reporting, we would have very few mass shootings."
  5. Though it sometimes feels like a lifetime ago, it was less than a year back that Cornyn claimed he didn't really understand or follow twitter, and therefore couldn't comment on what a President may or may not be tweeting at any given time. I wonder what changed in the last three months or so...?
  6. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/reports-gaetz-caught-on-surveillance-vid-with-alleged-sex-trafficker With every accusation being a confession, this motherfucker is so deep into this that I half expect we're going to find out in the next few days that the reason his head is so goddamn big is because he's been drinking these girls' adrenochrome.
  7. Really nailed his Saddam Hussein in his spider-hole cosplay.
  8. In 75% of the mass shootings in this country since '82, the shooter used a gun they purchased legally. That's sure a lot of shootings committed by "nobody". https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b9o6uDO18sLxBqPwl_Gh9bnhW-ev_dABH83M5Vb5L8o/edit#gid=0&range=L:L
  9. The shooter was a middle age white guy? Wow, what are the odds?
  10. [Ted Cruz has entered the chat]
  11. Made the five hour round trip to Stephenville to get round one of the Pfizer vaccine at CVS. It's been about 8 hours now and aside from some very minor soreness on my arm, so far, so good. They managed the line pretty well, so there wasn't a lot of interaction with the regular customers. Got home and called my mom to let her know, and she told me the unfortunate news that two of her best friends died over the weekend after both ended up on vents. I'd stupidly allowed myself to get into the mindset that this was almost over -- especially now that my wife and I both got our first doses of the vaccine -- but fuck if that wasn't depressing and sobering to hear and it brought me back down to Earth real quick.
  12. Looks like a candle flying out of the picture at the beginning of the video -- I'm going to assume Karen whipped it at the employee's head and seriously miscalculated how much shit they were willing to put up with.
  13. Definitely channeling the Thin White Duke with the outfit and little dance she does in that video. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album when it drops in May.
  14. I don’t think Texas Chiropractic College is actually part of the UT system.
  15. Was able to get my wife in at HEB today for Moderna round one. Huge fucking weight off my shoulders. She started feeling rundown about five or six hours after the shot, but relaxed on the couch a bit and is feeling better already. Got a nice lump on her arm and it's pretty sore. Drove by on my way home this afternoon and it looked packed with a steady stream of vehicles pulling in. Can't speak to how organized they may or may not be, but based on the amount of people it looked like they are processing, I can't imagine there's not a long wait involved.
  16. I was able to book ours around 1 last night. Looked like some of the rural stores opened up slots around then. Stephenville went from booked up to available appointments on the 8th-10th.
  17. Well for those of us that aren’t doctors — and aren’t pretending to be one on Surly — it’s good to have the guidance from those that are.
  18. Stephenville back up as of 15 minutes ago, was able to get appointments for my wife and I.
  19. Out again in 78628
  20. Back up - for now - in 78628. About five minutes shy of three hours this time.
  21. 78628 checking in, just lost power again about 10 minutes ago. Fuuuuuuck this.
  22. It is, she’s the one that made that great video after Trump left his supporters to freeze to death in Nebraska.
