  1. At 3-4, the NFL player shutdowns will begin. Relying on transactional relationships is not a recipe for success in any business. I will relish the meltdown.
  2. Read this in the voice of Dirk Digglar trying to pay for studio time based on future earnings of “Feel My Heat”
  3. When you have no agenda except kleptocracy and extortion, it makes it easy to not trade in favors. He has no respect or understanding of branches of government and believes he’s king.
  4. Texans includes people in cities. And from my perspective in Austin, dems in city council are being dunked on from issues like homelessness, public safety and affordability. Dems need to be the party of good governance and not get sucked in too much on wedge issues. But they need to be competent and responsive and have a clear communication. When Fitlump is one of our best council members in some respects, you see the rot exposed. And state gov is exploiting this weakness. Hell, even the grifter Dan Patrick understands that investors are driving up the price of single family homes. And with our upzoning scheme, welcomed by investors, developers and realtors, we will make each plot even more lucrative. His study on the issue will be a money grab but nevertheless.
  5. Perhaps, but the democrats share of hispanics is less. And transplants to Texas are more conservative than they were in the past. The democratic party strongholds in cities are out of touch with Texans and are largely impotent, either by being new urbanists or playing on national politics. And, largely being shat on by the state, who are derelict in their duty. Florida and Texas are out of play, once battleground states that are now playgrounds for theofascism and gqp activism.
  6. In the context of screenplay discussion, I implied the screenplay was exceptional. It was the foundation of an all-time movie. Not disparaging the movie at all which was part of my Columbia House VHS collection along with Se7en and some others.
  7. 6’3 215. He’s like AJ Brown out there
  8. Let’s give Bowen another 10 years before he “edges out” Keenan at playing a character to death.
  9. Maybe we should take your interpretation of typos to the grammar board. Again, there’s not one. Let’s stay on the topic of Sweat getting popped.
  10. Take it to the grammar board. Oh, there’s not one? Because no one gives a shit about typos. We could care less but it means we’re dead.
  11. Came across this satire headline. But how good was Paul Reiser in this role. Watching it again I wonder if Carter improvised the plan or if they knew ahead of time. I’m thinking they knew, underestimated the lethality of the aliens, and Carter was gonna be set for life if he pulled it off.
  12. Respect TUD but “by far the better script” is suspect
  13. Having a relatively normal human person in office means they work with others and follow direction, even as simple as an Easter Bunny photo op. “wait for the First Lady to be ready and when we cue you, please join the bunnies on the balcony. Then just wave to the crowd.” Now do that 10,000 more times, sometimes with meetings with foreign adversaries and intelligence briefings. Having Trump wing being President, like a strange uncle visiting for Christmas is not optimal.
  14. In addition to wind and sun
  15. Well Chinatown was nominated for 11 Oscars and the only thing that won was screenplay. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt since Towne was writing for Jack Nicholson and McQuarrie for Stephen Baldwin. Though adapted from a book, best screenplay in this genre is LA Confidential.
  16. This is embarrasad. An example of regulatory capture. We really needed to elect that naked lady.
  17. Well part of “defunding” APD was reallocating resources to social services as well as responsibilities from APD so they could focus on crime. Social workers dont have a union so that doesnt go over as well.
  18. Putin - You should change Dulles Airport to Trump. His agents made life difficult for us Soviets GQP - Hell yes! Your commie interests align with our own - first Reagan Airport. Now Trump Airport. Jesus Airport in Baltimore!
  19. Had a Ford Escort that took a minute to get to 65mph. To enter 35 there…it was challenging
  20. In the playoffs it was a matter of ability. He was terrible and cost the Bills bigtime.
  21. Project Connect, taxes, and building costs have meant fuckall for Austin housing prices since we’re in a global real estate market. In fact, making it less profitable to own an extra home or build a new home has helped stabilize the market. Things like inflation and interest rates have worked together in complicated fashion along with global economy to shape our housing market. The other issues that need to be understood is the depth and breadth of the homeless problem. The first is that what we see being the problem is the long-term homeless, who migrate to Austin and can fit in one or more of these categories: Mental illness, addicts, or career criminal. This is a regional and national problem. Austin has little ability to solve these issues in the longterm. Where affordability really causes homelessness are people and families temporarily displaced. Thats your single mothers, abused children, termed foster kids, divorced dads. One or more Surly posters may find themselves living on friend sofas or motels. Guess what: you may be homeless.
  22. Or car backfires. Tell your son to grow a pair and enjoy the food trucks and chess boxing tournaments. Where was he when you were mowing down fools in Saigon? Right, slick!
