America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread
Yea, but even if Hegseth left his cell phone on the bar counter in Moscow, I'm sure he has that thing strongly password protected.

DOGE: America Fucking Around
Technically, just a subspecies of the greater prairie chicken, which is itself highly endangered, as are nearly all grassland birds in the country. But that should make it even easier for the administration to wave off any criticism about this. Nevermind that there were once 2 million of them in the state, and now they're a shadow of a shadow of what they once were. But those goddamn freeloading biologists who live on site and make next to nothing to protect the refuge are practically stealing taxpayer dollars!!! I have a friend who spent a year there. He sounds heartbroken, as I imagine virtually every NPS worker across the entire country is these days. It is a beautiful prairie. I've been several times, never on a guided tour. Seen the prairie chicken once. But they are just part of an underappreciated landscape.

Severance (Apple TV)
I have been unable to get my wife on board so far, but she's starting to show interest. I have no problem watching a 2nd (probably 3rd) time with someone experiencing it fresh.

It was definitely Helly at the beginning, when Jame Eagan came to see her. I wondered at the end though if she hadn't been switched back somehow. I hope we don't have to wait 3 years for the next season.

American Happiness Reaches Five-decade Low
On the one hand, I will not be eating another one. On the other, do I want to know if burrito-induced cancer is growing inside my body?

Imagine a world where this clown is viewed as the joke of a human being he is, and not someone who can win an election for anything with more import than a neighborhood HOA.

Sadly, we were all white boys and lacked this cultural expertise.

You can keep your fancy I-talian food. I believe these were a full pound of delicious, microwavable mush for $1.99 in the late 2000s.

American Happiness Reaches Five-decade Low
Damn, us millenials swept every drinking category? Also, as others have noted, rural America may be great if you're a rich, white, retired person. I love being outdoors but I'm not bringing my mixed-race family out there to live.

So I saw a man die tonight
I was a pretty well-behaved kid for the most part, but did the typical stupid stuff in college. I am not looking forward to when my boys are that age. It's amazing most of us make it.

So I saw a man die tonight
I was a physician assistant in the OR for 8 years. Fortunately, foot/ankle and thyroid surgery do not lend themselves much to death on the table. We had one 80-something year-old die in recovery after an above-knee amputation, and I witnessed unsuccessful attempts to bring him back. My wife certainly has countless stories both as a nurse in the liver icu in the Houston Med Center, and as a CRNA, primarily with very sick pediatric patients. I don't know if I remember any well enough to share, but I know organ procurement cases on young people are a very negatively surreal experience.

Watching this country decline is what I imagine it's like to see any addict circling the drain before they hit rock bottom. Alienating friends and replacing them with new ones that are only feeding the habit, and the only hope of salvation is losing everything. **queue Brisket reminding us that rock bottom does not exist**

We need to do something about these private equity bastards
"I want to believe there's a heaven. But I can't not believe there's a hell," I'm starting to share Vince Gilligan's sentiment more and more, and I'm not religious. More people than I could have ever imagined deserve it.

2025 Thread of the Rains
We were not expecting a storm last night, right? Hit us here in 78665 around 3 AM, and rain has either continued or resumed this morning.

I've really been pumping this thread up recently. Perhaps it's because spring migration is right around the corner. I do have some somber news from the birding world to report. Houston/Austin birding legend Victor Emmanuel passed away. I met him once at Bolivar Flats, completely unaware of his legendary status among Texas birders at the time. He was incredibly eager to share his knowledge with anyone he came across. RIP https://www.statesman.com/story/news/local/2025/03/12/victor-emanuel-obit-austin-texas-birding-nature-guide-dies-age-84-illness/82306479007/- Trump’s America
- The Democratic Party
The Republican base and Democratic lawmakers share the similarity of living in an alternate reality. Republicans reality being one where facts don't matter, while Democratic politicians live in a world where rules and norms still exist. - Birding
