Only the truly fucking deranged would even consider it. I can't wait for them to reveal themselves. One just did. -
Bitch should've waited until it is posted on Surly and then laugh freely.

Wife or mother? Either way, it doesn't look it's the first time he's had to deal with this shit. -
Anyone have better ideas on how to spend $101M of taxpayer money? https://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/2025/04/homelessness-strategy-plan-calls-for-101m-in-spending-from-city-partner-groups/ Homelessness strategy plan calls for $101M in spending from city, partner groups Austin’s Homeless Strategy Office is proposing a funding package totaling just under $101 million for homelessness response efforts in the city’s next budget, with about one-third allocated toward maintaining existing programs, one-third for new city investments, and one-third for initiatives expected to be funded by partner organizations. The proposed investments broadly break down as follows: o Roughly $3.8 million for prevention, diversion, and rapid-exit services to keep people housed or quickly rehouse them o About $5 million for expanded street outreach and encampment management efforts o Approximately $32.3 million plus capital costs to expand emergency shelter capacity, with a goal to add 550 new shelter beds by 2029 o Nearly $24 million for rapid rehousing programs that connect people to short-term rental assistance and case management o Around $8 million for ongoing supportive services tied to permanent supportive housing projects already underway o An anticipated $23 million per year in new spending after 2027 to continue growing the city’s permanent supportive housing inventory through 2034 The presentation emphasized that maintaining the city’s homelessness response at current service levels would require about $22.9 million in addition to new funds to replace expiring federal dollars. City budget officials confirmed that closing that gap on top of addressing a projected $33 million budget shortfall would likely require seeking additional tax revenue through a voter-approved tax rate election that could take place later this year. “Assuming we don’t cut homeless related programs to balance our $33,000,000 deficit, that means we need… about $50 million of new money that we would have to come up for with next year’s budget,” Councilmember Ryan Alter said. “When we’re going to taxpayers, we have to tell them what they’re going to get for that investment. No one’s going to just say, yes. I want to pay more because it feels good. They wanna know, what’s that tangible result? What do they get out of it?”

It sure doesn't smell like suburban America, and how fucking glorious that is.

Dry run for Russian hackers for the impending invasion of Europe?

Before the non-Austin people ask, the A school in the east side of I-35 is LASA, which is a magnet school. It's also the academically best school in Austin. I-35 is the proverbial train track. Predominantly, one side has the wealth, the other does not.

I'm only 2 episodes into season 2. I loved season 1. I didn't play the games but know what happens in the story. Question: in the game, is Ellie as completely unlikable as she's become in season 2? I loved her in season 1. In that game, is she just an unlikable bitch? Is her season 2 character staying true to the game or is this just a really bad adaptation? Have not watched ep 3 but the general online sentiment is that this episode minus Joel and full dose of Ellie/Belle Ramsey is causing people to Nope to the rest of the season. If she's even more of an unlikable bitch in this episode, I may be right there with them.

Closest Colorado ski destination is Wolf Creek. You can rent a place in Pagosa Springs or South Fork. PS has more and better restaurants, shopping and city shit.

I'm too lazy to look but it is up to $800M+ in '22 or '23. I remember seeing that in '25 the state is now collecting over $5B in recapture money. After paying off the poor ISDs, it sends the excess, which is a significant amount, to the State General fund to use for non-education shit. Give the excess monies back, Abbott, you dipshit. Also for the $800M AISD payment year, the 2nd highest paying ISD was Houston ISD. They only paid a little over $200M. AIDS is getting ROYALLY fucked.
-
Remember that AISD gives roughly 50% ($800M the last time I checked) to the state. I've bitched many times about how fucked AISD is getting by the state. In spite of budget cuts and shit infrastructure from us getting raped every year, we are doing relatively OK compared to other metro school districts.

It's incredible the turn around that Sark has done here. For the longest time, good Texas players simply were not getting the respect that they should have. How many undrafted Longhorns ended up on NFL teams. The players had talent. The GMs just didn't respect Texas players to draft them or drafted them much lower than they should have been. That's all on the previous coaching staffs going back to Mack's FUPM years.

And then he'll hire Deion to coach
