  1. God it would be amazing if the Republican senate blocks Tanden’s appointment.
  2. I just went through this same exercise, although I don’t commute so gas mileage wasn’t much of a factor. Don’t buy a new car and don’t buy an American car. I love Tahoes but they are ridiculously expensive compared to nicer and better driving foreign cars. I didn’t end up getting one, but I was extremely impressed by the XC90, and you can get one a few years old off lease for just a bit more than 30k. The main draw back is that it is kind of a lady car, but it’s 2020 and men are ladies and vice versa so who cares. If you’re planning on keeping it for a long time 4runners are hard to beat but I don’t find the interior to be all that nice for the price.
  3. TexAgs is one of the biggest leftist message boards. The first DSA chapter in America was in College Station.
  4. Greenwald was/is an amazing reporter and did some amazing work. His critiques of the media were, and to a lesser extent still are, spot on. But he has completely lost his fucking marbles when it comes to almost everything else. It’s hard to square the guy who broke the Snowden story with the guy who obsesses about “cancel culture” and thinks that all the editors at the Intercept are out to silence him because they tried to edit his pieces. And on a more personal note, fuck that motherfucker for constantly going on Tucker Carlson, there’s no fucking excuse for that shit.
  5. So this is all your fault.
  6. Whoever it is, we’re all gonna love it!
  7. If Biden does do some sort of student debt forgiveness my prediction is that it is very minor and only applicable to a small subset of borrowers. He’ll probably appoint a blue ribbon committee full of former Wall Street or tech assholes who will produce a report recommending 2.5% debt forgiveness for borrowers below the poverty line from 2010-2020 with over $200,000 in student loans and a job in an approved sector.
  8. Tell your daughter I’ll be by to pick my pants up tonight.
  9. Fuck you.
  10. The premise of Queens Gambit is what makes it one of my favorite science fiction shows. I mean a woman being able to play chess is so ridiculous that I really admire the male writers imagination for even coming up with it. Those guys deserve all the credit.
  11. Similar to the estate sales I like Live Auctioneers for furniture and stuff. It will show you all the auctions going on in your city and you can browse the photos. Once shit opens back up you can go to the dealer’s business and look at the stuff in person. They were auctioning off David Dewhurst’s stuff from one of his ranches a couple of months ago and I almost bought his desk. But chances are it was cursed and/or full of makeup.
  12. Biden is blacker than any black Republican politician. Just ask corn pop.
