  1. Semi-related to the thread, Pachinko has been a good watch on Apple tv. Multi-generational story of a Korean family starting in Japan-occupied Korea. I believe the showrunner is actually Korean-American.
  2. Goddamn, when are you ethnic people going to get your shit together and vote 100% against Republicans so us white folk can absolve ourselves of any blame for consistently putting the worst people in office?
  3. I'm having a biracial kid in a few weeks. Who should I tell him he can be attracted to? Other boys will likely not be an option by the time he grows up. Does he get to affiliate with both Asian and white women, or is he limited to only other asian-white biracial women? Maybe he's just shit out of luck because he shouldn't have been created from such an unholy union to begin with.
  4. I hope you're armybrat old, because those places are all going to be underwater soon.
  5. These are fun to read. Would be more fun if there was a chance that any of these shitstains would suffer consequences for their actions.
  6. Dry here in 78752. In my 18 months back in Austin, I've learned to push back the predicted arrival of storms by 12 hours, if they occur at all.
  7. Get your binocs ready, fellas. The migrant songbirds are going to be dripping from the trees as abundantly as the rain drops come Tuesday morning.
  8. Who needs clean water, or breathable air, or bearable temperatures? Those are privileges nowhere specifically enumerated in the constitution!!!
  9. What a legacy to leave behind. A single senator with the cards falling in such a way that he can single-handedly significantly curb climate change, but he refuses to do it. In a body of enormous pieces of shit, (and, I assume, some good people!), he is truly one of the most grotesque.
  10. Or interesting to walk around there. I've only vacationed there once, but for a seemingly laid-back people, they are so aggressive behind the wheel. Pedestrian right-of-way? LOL!!! You better move your ass across the road, because they are hitting the accelerator when they see you.
  11. You're photos make me really wish that my wife got sent out to Alaska for a year in grad school. It nearly happened, but alas, the city pulled out of the hat was Decatur, TX. The LBJ Grasslands were cool and all, but millions of acres of wilderness to explore seems slightly cooler. Could have added some sick birds and mammals to the life list too.
  12. In order to contribute something relevant to the actual thread, here is sunset at Reimer's Ranch.
  13. Yea, I went out and got northern shrike and fork-tailed flycatcher, as well as mountain plover, but those seem to be annual. Travis Co was super slow this winter.
  14. FW nature center is a great place for birding and hiking in general. I'm sure you fan find a bunch of other critters there to photograph besides birds, but I've had barred owl, roadrunner and prothonotary warbler there (boardwalk in summer). One of the only spots in the area for pileated woodpecker too, although they're tough to find. Village creek drying beds in Arlington is the #1 spot in Tarrant County as far as # of species. Lots of waterfowl/wading birds depending on the water level, and in the summer you can see a ton of Mississippi kites that must breed there. It does not smell good, fyi. Other than those two, River Legacy Park (E. of Collins) is good for forest birds, particularly during migration, and North Holiday Park is good for waterfowl and wading birds.
  15. I moved to Austin 12/20 from FW. Was in Houston prior to that, so just checking off all the major Texas metroplexes.
  16. If y'all need a non-photographer birder to help you find some good birds, I humbly offer my services. Although you seem to have no trouble finding good stuff on your own, Doug.
  17. Negged for posting that of all possible NBA duos.
  18. The 7-day case average ever so slightly ticked up in Texas this week. Hopefully it's just a tick and not a trend upward again.
  19. It sure would be satisfying watching that arrogant fucking smirk disappear from his face as his armed forces shit the bed.
  20. Dude, you don't have to hear this shit from the fucking liberal MSM. Trump happily says this shit to anyone who listens. How fucking stupid are you?
  21. Hey, Leo has donated to lots of climate causes so that absolves him of any hypocritical behavior, right? It's straight out of the Sack playbook. I'm shocked you don't approve.
  22. Just hit the midway point of pregnancy #1. Our little boy was looking great on the anatomy scan today. I'm certainly not prepared for him to be here yet, but can't wait for him to arrive.
  23. Imagine having actual power to curb climate change, and choosing instead to be as greedy as Joe Manchin
  24. Oh yeah, that's how satire works!
  25. Someone else's experience at work the other day. Weird how these tough guys treat women this way but never seem to have anything to say to me, a very average-sized dude. It's almost like these wannabe badasses are actually just giant pussies.
