  1. Agree 100%
  2. Saw Overshown at Baylor (The Star) yesterday. He's hilarious and quite the personality. Everyone loves him there, obviously he's a known commodity.
  3. Wait, the cease fire is over?
  4. I'm not insinuating that a job interviewee being honest and open is a bad thing, I'm saying that trying to bend a narrative to fit what you think the other side of the desk wants to hear, is cringy when it's a miss which is what is happening in that PSA. I would argue that it's actually NOT being honest and open when you are trying to fit a square hole in a round peg and you can hear it. It's like when a musician makes music and an album that you think would best sell and will make you popular versus playing good music intrinsic to you. Either way, that's why it's always good to have a couple of different people in the room, for like when you are interviewing, some people hear things or perceive things differently than others and that diversity is good. How is the job search going btw?
  5. The way Mayor Pete communicates is the gold standard for me, personally. I also appreciated Mitt Romney's communication style and Bill Clinton and Obama. I even appreciated some of Dubya's "folksy" communication style. So I can appreciate a spectrum. Fair enough, we are just hearing different things I guess. It happens.
  6. It actually sounds like he is trying to tell you what you want to hear and isn't doing a great job of it. The tone feels like an afectation, like one of trying to sound agrieved and attacked, as his defense. Have you listened to the PSA podcast interview? I listened to about 20 mins of it.
  7. Man, this guy is not media trained at all. He sounds like when you interview a guy for a job who isn't a great fit but they really want the job and it's just very hard to sit through (Pod Save America interview).
  8. Listening to the Pod Save America video, I think it's kinda funny that he is owning, if not doubling down, on the problematic reddit stuff, especially about "HeY GuYs WhY dOnT bLaCk pEoPle TiP, iS iT CuLtUrAl?" His defense of, "hey, I was just asking questions because I didn't grow up around black people and was genuinely curious" feels like a miss.
  9. Thought this was funny:
  10. $200mm in aid gone. Poof, like a far in the wind: https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/trump-says-u-s-is-cutting-aid-to-colombia-over-drugs-9e22e64b
  11. 17. Missing JAX, Indy and surprisingly Philly.
  12. I had Sammy's downtown Dallas late last week for the first time in probably 10 years. Wow. It's so bad. Maybe I should have posted in the "how is this place still in business" thread. And that I would guess is a primo real estate location.
  13. I know almost next to nothing about Joey except that somehow, out of 7 fully grown men and some living legends, as a baby rapper he had the best verse on 1 train. That got my attention but then it obviously faded. I'm an old man with little free time.

    2025 Christmas

    Folks is broke in 2025. Telling my people, give me a list of 1 or 2 items you want max. I'm capping a dollar limit per person. Middle class be middle classin' outchea.
  15. Ouroboros? More like AI-and-CryptoBoroBROS
  16. Counterpoint: Voting positive on vaguely worded things got us more-or-less legalized marijuana (via hemp) over the counter.
  17. That's fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
  18. Big "Nothing Easy, Game 7!!!111" vibes. The Hawks ended up losing that one too.
  19. While I agree with you generally, you kinda skipped the Jimbo/Jameis Winston years and a national championship win in there.
  20. Some of you are going to be sorely disappointed one day when we are in the same room at the same time. Heck, throw in GRUhon and there wil be 3 of us!
  21. Not with these premiums I'm having to pay now!
  22. Politically, It's like the parable of Solomon's baby. We aren't willing to kill the baby but the R's are willing to kill a baby.
  23. Thanks for this. It's like the old "the winning move is to not play at all", which I guess makes sense. I know it doesn't feel like it right now but you have to think AT SOME POINT in a shut down there will be pain from not having a government installed and working. And when that comes, it's 100% on the R's. That's the plan. I like it, if it works out that way.
