  1. If our Mayor truly believes that he obviously hasn’t been outside his River Oaks country club bubble in a very long time I know John is more cultured than that tho, saw him at Romanos on West Grey the weekend the Final 4 was in town last year with what I can only describe as a lady of the evening of the Asian persuasion …or it might have just been a way younger female intern or employee or something but I think my Asian hooker story is way better than that
  2. I guess I’m thinking further west on Richmond, lived and worked in Westchase for a while and it was an absolute moonscape out there west of and for a good while east of the beltway. Guess l give you points for cutting to the chase and being honest about it just being about not wanting “those people” that rail may bring. Would contend most of them wouldn’t be getting on or off the train at the maybe 1 stop that would be in Afron Oaks and would just pass thru on the way to downtown or the Galleria, but never gonna find out who’s more right about that anyhow…
  3. Do you drive a literal monster truck? Thats the only reason I can think of anyone thinking Richmond is the one decent east-west road in the city when it's like driving on the surface of the moon. Would have had to resurface it into an actual nice level graded road if they put rail down it years ago...
  4. Silver line was set up to fail because it didn’t have any other rapid transit connections, like the one that could have been provided by the University BRT Line (or the old Blue line light rail concept from the early 2000’s that got repeatedly killed by John Culbertson) and had a lot of bad luck in opening during COVID. I get why they did it as a trial balloon to show people how a bus system could be similar to light rail, but having it all on its own in uptown doomed it. Maybe we can try again to expand transit in another 4-40 years once all the boomer politicians like Whitmire and the bozos he put on the METRO board are 6 feet under the grass and not paving over the grass…
  5. Shot: Chaser: would be a lot easier for more people to “dump the pump” if you put any sort of effort into making an East-West transit line like the University Line happen instead of dumping it without any sort of vote or public input. Incredibly frustrated as part of the 70% of voters who voted for bond issuance to pay for more transit options and instead we have limp dicks at METRO cowing down to Mayor Baldy who wants everyone driving cars everywhere canceling all the transit projects in METRO Next.
  6. Always thought Traylor ran a pretty tight ship down in SA so 2 players getting arrested for aggravated robbery in less than a week is rather shocking…
  7. Or if he had been allowed to coach Tech’s bowl game the year their administration (and Craig James (K5H)) ran him out of town on a rail…. bloods kinda on Tech tards hands for this grave injustice…
  8. Absolutely 10,000%, I don’t think this can be overstated enough
  9. Condolences Wondering if Lubbock local county and city government has come to terms with that economic loss while Tech Tard fans and Bert Yormark and Joey McGuire crow about things running thru Lubbock…
  10. Kinda incredible that as many times as I’ve heard that song in my youth while out drinking and dancing up on mid tier chicks I’ve never seen that music video… it’s perfect for what it is honestly
  11. Whoever posted this bravo, got a good chuckle out of it rolling into the office today:
  12. Don't mind me, just here to watch the old people complain about ESPN+
  13. I'm sure Apple will be happy to sell you new HomePods with AI sometime in the near future...or sell you a new Apple TV that has the AI stuff onboard that old HomePods can talk to locally for AI requests... Think Apple is in too deep with HomePods to just let them die, they ain't Google
  14. For real the fact that he's a 51 yo Travis County ADA and thats the least insane part of this story is quite something...
  15. I made roughly minimum wage in the early-mid 2000’s as a bored teenager in high school and then as a college student part time just looking for some beer money. Absolutely think minimum wage should exist to protect against the race to the bottom of capitalism that would certainly try to drive wages for these kinds of entry level “basic” jobs to $0/hr if left to its own devices. That being said these people trying to tout a jump to $15 min wage for these kinds of jobs and pretending like that’s a livable wage in 2024 are idiots, that’s a fine min wage for snot nosed high school and college kids working part time for video game/beer money but you aren’t living on that anywhere in America today, maybe bum fuck nowhere rural Mississippi or Alabama but that’s about it. No I really don’t have a better idea so don’t ask, my belief is just it’s a good thing to have a min wage floor but don’t act like it’s a livable wage unless it actually is…
  16. It wasn't all that long ago that I first hand saw a sign outside a business in "Downtown" Livingston Texas that said "colored entrance in back" so definitely believe at least some of these still exist, deep east Texas especially.
  17. NSIAP: and that will be enough internet for today...
  18. Why FSU...Garnet and Gold such solid colors why mess it up??
  19. 14-year-old suspect in custody after Houston Farmers Market employee killed in shooting: Sources https://abc13.com/post/14-year-old-suspect-custody-after-houston-farmers/14922142/ Gonna be under the prison for the rest of his life (or getting that final needle jab in Huntsville sometime) over a damn golf cart...holy hell
