  1. Imagine being such a fucking dork that not only did your high school and college peers refuse to invite you to parties, share their joints, or sleep with you, but half a century later you are still so obsessed with this rejection that you work tirelessly to ban porn and weed. I can only imagine sex not for the purposes of procreation is next.
  2. I mean, the USAID cuts alone have caused thousands of deaths already, and will likely lead to millions more. I guess it's not killing if we're just removing aid that these people in no way earned, right? And they aren't Americans anyway. We're saving those deaths for when we get these Medicaid cuts solidified. https://www.bu.edu/articles/2025/mathematician-tracks-deaths-from-usaid-medicaid-cuts/
  3. This forum consists largely of aging white men of some financial means. That demo will be among the last to suffer. I guess it's silly and hyperbolic to care about literally anyone else.
  4. I guess I'm just being histrionic. Doug Burgum says there is "plenty of time" to solve a "potential temperature crisis" after we beat China in the AI arms race and prevent Iran from getting a nuke. These rich guys are so nice to be looking out for us all the time and telling us what really matters.
  5. We are so fucked. Record deforestation last year. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0lnngl6713o
  6. I believe it is the hospital, apparently attempting to follow state law. It had already been 3 months, so if it was just a lawyer thing, I'd hope they'd have figured it out by now.
  7. I spent my operative day watching silo in energy-saving mode, so I couldn't see shit but was too tired and lazy to fuck with the settings. It took a little longer than I expected for everything to feel normal, and im pretty sure I'm in the 40% of men who develop a granuloma, which is occasionally painful. But 5 months later and no more pregnancies! Now is this because of the vasectomy or other factors...?
  8. Keeping a dead woman "alive" for 6 months to give birth, just as Jesus instructed in the Bible. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/16/nx-s1-5400266/georgia-brain-dead-fetus-abortion-ban-hospital
  9. I know it has been said a million times, but the creators of this Matrix are clearly testing how absurd a reality our minds can be made to believe.
  10. Oklahoma to require high schoolers to learn about "discrepancies" in the 2020 election. Texas should follow suit here shortly, I'm sure. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/14/nx-s1-5384282/oklahoma-education-standards-2020-election
  11. Someone turned up a flock of Bobolinks in the agriculture fields near Granger this weekend. They rarely turn up this far west, but were still hanging out today. Also got on some yellow-headed blackbirds and a blue grosbeak.
  12. Democrats need to use this. I mean Baraka specifically, but all the rest as well. Go put yourself in position to get arrested for some bullshit, then when they are forced to release you, hammer them. If they arrested one of the best modern mouthpieces for the Dems, like Crockett or AOC, or Bernie's ancient ass, I've got to think that would really rile a lot of people up.
  13. Wouldn't expect anything else from SEC football fans. They're worse than NFL fans. Wait....
  14. Migration has been weird this year, in the Austin area anyway. Black-throated blue warbler is a fantastic bird.
  15. That's awesome! I saw that a small flock reported recently down there and a lone bird has been hanging out in Port A for a while now. A ton showed up all over the place after one of the recent hurricanes and some seem to have hung out, or at least returned regularly. I need t8 make an excuse to go see them. Nice ID on the scoter. Even on the coast they're not all that common.
  16. Migration FINALLY picking up, just as it's supposed to wind down. I had a nice 9-warbler morning, including golden-winged, bay-breasted and multiple blackburnian. Also turned up my county-first Ash-throated flycatcher, which are tough to come by east of 35. Just another week or two, and everything will have passed through, and we will all be attempting to stave off heat stroke.
  17. Like you actually know any of that, scalpel jockey!
  18. At least others can learn from our mistakes.
  19. Currently posted outside the ER of Dell Children's. We are fucking evil.
  20. Hey man, I've got two young kids under 3 who don't sleep and I'm studying for a board exam. Reading an entire article is a big deal for me right now and this is where I come to share my big-brained conclusions. I'm not reading that entire book right now but I'll try to educate myself further about Klein.
  21. I may not know every liberal podcaster/author/journalist, but I do know that David Sirota hates literally everything. And I've heard his name, but not much of what he has to say until he started popping up everywhere recently.
  22. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/abundance-discourse-ezra-klein-trump-musk-democrats-1235310224/ Someone had mentioned recently that they didn't have Rolling Stone as the journalistic entity with the greatest integrity and strongest reporting during Trump 2.0, but damn if it ain't true. I don't know much about this Klein guy, other than hearing some NPR host embarrassingly gush over his ideas during an interview, but it seems like he might suck. Haven't heard the Pod Save interview, but it's disappointing that NPR and Jon Stewart apparently didn't poke any holes in their book's flawed arguments.
  23. This is the natural history knowledge 98% of people lack, and probably why AI is so fucking dumb about it, and anything else requiring specialized knowledge. Great call-out.
  24. These have all been along the trail between Kenney Fort and Redbud.
