For those who followed my family saga a few months ago, you will be shocked to find out that my parents remain some combination of dumb and racist, despite "apologizing" for voting for Trump when they were forced to have a serious discussion if they wanted our relationship to continue.
Here is my mother responding to my wife, who texted her about the Smithsonian and presumably ICE.
Such wishy-washy bullshit equivocation that almost makes me more angry than if they just admitted they will always be Pro-Trump. I'm continuously finding this relationship more and more difficult to rationalize.
I know some people can separate family and politics, but we are well outside "normal" politics, and they just can't bring themselves to admit any Republican could ever be worse than any Democrat. The Trump-Putin stuff is particularly laughable. I'm fucking ashamed to share DNA with my entire Trumpy-ass family tree. The only bright spot is that my siblings and me apparently inherited the same mutation that has made us politically (really, morally) unlike 95% of our embarrassing family.

And today we announced that we will not be funding ANY wind or solar projects going forward. We are giving the future to the Chinese on a silver platter.

My 3 and 1 year-old both slept through the night for the first time in many weeks. I feel euphoric. Is God actually real? Should I go buy a lotto ticket, because I feel like the luckiest man on Earth.

Those motherfuckers were quite unpleasant at that game. We walked all 5 miles back to our hotel with people swerving across traffic and onto sidewalks to give us a horns down after a loss.

Imagine getting upset about your tax dollars feeding kids school lunches, providing a bare minimum security net for the most disadvantaged Americans and saving lives worldwide with food and medicine, but being totally cool with Trump plating the entire White House in gold, Vance taking a constant vacation and presumably feeding Stephen Miller at least one rat per week. Maybe he hunts his own prey, I don't know.

We shouldn’t be losing at Stanford, at cal, at Maryland so our road record is about as pitiful as it could be on that time band.
I had the pleasure of witnessing the road loss to Cal in person, but did I blackout and forget a loss to Stanford recently?

It brings me some measure of joy to see Rubio looking like he wants to off himself in every single still I've seen of him since he joined this administration.

The administration continues to fuck conservation in any way possible.

This is a hilarious hypothetical for someone slashing medical research funding. Next you're going to tell us that Trump could put an end to pedophilia and the libtards will just cry about Trump surveilling our bedrooms.

Found out I’m heading to Oahu in September. Would love to get a dive in, though I’ll probably be solo. Anyone have any Hawaii dive recs?
Get in touch with the Shark Whisperer and free dive with some tigers. Looks like great fun.

A person so insane even Trump's inner circle had to tell him to stop hanging out with her.

Unacceptable risk to national security, letting dying brown kids into the country for medical care. Fortunately Loomer, a person who somehow has sway in our government, put an end to it!

For going to back-to-back semifinals, having a Manning at QB and being ranked #1, I feel like everyone, including some of this board, is kind of dismissing the likelihood of this being a dominant team.
Who knows what will happen, but choosing anybody but Texas to be THE Team this year seems to be the trendy pick.

Ok, I knew about the Tower Girl, but my wife had a patient who claimed there were none in Austin besides that. I’m 90% sure we’ve seen a pair in Hyde park over the past several years.
Looks like essentially all of the summer reports are from around the Tower and Town Lake, occasionally Hornsby. They are definitely around outside of breeding season, usually passing through.
American kestrel is the falcon that may be around a little more year-round, but they are also not very common from June-August or so.

Kirk is a catch-22. Yes, that condensed, creepy, smarmy little face is asking to be punched. But any subsequent change in his appearance couldn't be anything but an improvement.

He underperformed his whole ticket in a midterm that was essentially a referendum on a Covid and inflation.
Anecdotal, but in one of my now regular arguments with my parents since reestablishishing contact, my Dad did acknowledge that Paxton and Patrick specifically are clowns that he wouldn't vote for again.
How does he not see that the average R, especially in Texas, is 99% as bad? Not sure. Small victories, I guess...

The fucking losers the Rs latch onto as their thought leaders is truly insane.

Birding

Posted · Edited by hookem2010
I would be lying if I said I've never used it, but I very rarely do so anymore now that I'm fully aware of the consequences. In places with a lot of birders who may also be using playback and during breeding season are definite no-no's, because it will definitely cause them to expend that extra energy to investigate or respond.
It's very common with guides in the tropics, apparently. But so is "taming" hard to see things like antpittas with daily feelings. I have mixed feelings about that. Certainly not ideal, but it does encourage locals to protect their land for ecotourism versus clearing it for agriculture or whatever else.
