    Each and every one of those people should be forced to go to every fucking funeral of everyone that died. 


    Every 4th of july mail them a postcard of their comments.

    He'll say he knew it was coming because he knows more about flooding and rain than anyone. He'll then say that Biden's bad policies prevented him from fixing it, but he'll fix it in 2 weeks and it'll be better than ever. 

    It won’t even occur to him and his ilk that he did fuck all about it from 2017-2020.

    I like that one official's solution -- let those running camps warn their counterparts downstream that waters are going to rise.

    Well, except for the fact that one camp has to be first and gets no warning.  You know, like Camp Mystic.

    Great solution there.


    Also, while you’re evacuating and/or trying to save campers and/or drowning in the river yourself, don’t forget to call your down river camps.

    Real weathermen pick up dirt and let it blow in the wind and bang the chick from Lost Boys. 

    The days of sniffing dirt are over. I get this from good authority. The guy from Princess Bride told me so.

    Crazy idea, but the state could work with county and city officials to identify problems and create solutions. The state could provide expertise and fund a portion of expense. Local leaders could pick up a share of the expense and monitor the maintenance of equipment and the education of residents. Schools go through many varied drills each year to prepare for a variety of emergencies… summer camps should have the same requirements.


    I’ve been told regulations are bad

    "NPR has compiled a timeline of when local, state and federal officials posted warnings on social media as well as the timeline of events as presented by local officials."

    Starts on Wednesday: https://www.npr.org/2025/07/05/nx-s1-5457759/texas-floods-timeline

     

    This timeline is wrong. It’s pretty irresponsible for NPR to make this mistake given the timing of the warnings are going to influence the perception of who is at fault.

    The mistake is highlighted below. NPR reports the post at 2:14 AM. The link shows the timestamp of 1:14 AM.

    The article describes events at 12:42, 2:14, 1:26. This confused me and led me to click on the link. Sloppy work, NPR.

    Link to X at “2:14 AM” timestamp shows it’s actually 1:14 AM

  7. We’re vacationing in maine in a couple of weeks. We’re staying in kennebunkport for a few days then driving up to camden.

    I’ve had oysters a number of different places but my standouts were a place in whistler and king elders pub in damriscotta maine. I’ve had damriscotta oysters in damriscotta, portand maine, and the hudson bay restaurant here in dallas.

    Damriscotta river has a number of oyster farms. I’m planning on stopping at Glidden Point oyster farms on the damriscotta river on our drive to camden. They have a seafood market on the river where various farmers bring in their oysters each day.

    You can order online as well, and they’ll ship them. I haven’t done this so I can’t speak to how well this works.

  8. Mrs GenXer’s ig feed has bern bombarded with oasis concert footage. The feed worked on us. We picked up tix to the pasadena show a few minutes ago.

    We got tix to the chicago show several weeks ago.

    This fall is looking up. 2 oasis shows, austin F1, father john misty, alabama shakes, garbage, stews, black rebel motorcycle club, lord huron and kevin morby, and probably a few others.

     

  9. Hanging on my patio with my two dogs (avatar checks out), and this comes on my ig feed. Breaks my heart. I’ve always really bonded with dogs. They’re wonderful.
