  1. So like a paid political cartoonist, or Stephen Cobert’s writers that create satirical videos for his monologue? The question is what constitutes political advertising. Although it’s probably a moot point since if Dunn is against it there is no chance it passes, and even if it did his personal Governor would veto it if told to.
  2. Yes, I'm sure Phelan's intentions for the bill will be completely honored by Abbott, Paxton, and Patrick once it's on the books. The only way to stop shit like that is to put a stop to the unlimited dirty money flowing into politician's campaign coffers. I'm going to hold my breath waiting for that to happen
  3. If I had to pick two countries where trump would choose to locate his concentration camps, Libya and Rwanda would certainly make the final cut, since those two places certainly don't have a history of human rights violations.
  4. I think that you are correct. I saw something about the SEC statement saying that it was because it wasn't a conference game on Texags, so it was clearly incorrect. The actual tweet just noted that there was no suspension.
  5. Donald Trump, El Presidente for life, defender of the one true faith, God’s supreme representative on earth, and Emperor over North America, Greenland, Panama, and the Gulf of America
  6. Damn, I can’t wait. There currently only 8 books in the series, but a ninth is supposed to be in the works. One of the books is a prequel which goes into Lamb’s time in postwar Berlin. It goes into some of the history between Lamb and Molly the archive lady. I think it would be a good one to film, but who plays a young Jackson Lamb?
  7. I’m surprised anyone stupid enough to buy one can afford to
  8. Didn’t one of those trucks carrying a load of dimes get stolen a while back?
  9. You absolutely know it will be selectively enforced. Any meme making fun of the regime will have something wrong with the disclosure, font size, font color, or disclaimer placement. Taking one bucket of sand from the beach isn’t something to get worked up about, until there is no beach left at all. All you have to do to see the result is look at what’s happening with ICE. Post a meme about Abbott, Paxton, or Patrick and you’ll have masked DPS officers kicking your door in with a no-knock warrant, confiscating your phone, computer, and any cash they find, shooting your dog, and maybe you for resisting. Then months later your family will be informed that the charges were dropped
  10. He was ejected from the game against Lamar for arguing a call. The SEC said that suspensions for coach ejections only apply to conference games. It was a tag play that took place between bases. The ump said it wasn't reviewable because it wasn't "at the base", which appears to be the correct call. He got tossed after the next batter hit a three-run homer because he went back out on the field to argue some more. It was the same ump who tossed Kash in our game with them.
  11. Trump isn't "leading the free world", he isn't even leading a free country
  12. Baseball America's Latest Tournament Bracket Prediction
  13. The Texas GOP wants to put you in jail for posting internet memes. Please call Dade Phelan's office and tell him what you think about his bill. https://texasscorecard.com/state/dade-phelans-bill-would-criminalize-political-memes/ Text of the bill https://legiscan.com/TX/text/HB366/id/3197809
  14. I know this is TLDR, but I just need to vent a little. My mom is 95 and still lives alone. Two years ago, she fell and hit her head, and I found her unresponsive in bed the next morning. She had bleeding on her brain and had to have a hole drilled in her head to drain fluid. She has fully recovered physically, but her mental faculties have taken a pretty severe decline. It's not like dementia; she recognizes everyone, and her long-term memory is still good, but her short-term memory is just about completely gone. I end up having virtually the same conversation with her every day. She lives in the same townhouse that she and my dad lived in for 40 years, so she is really comfortable there and can function reasonably well there. She has just about completely lost the ability to operate any technology. I had to have her oven replaced, and she can't operate it at all. She can still operate her microwave and her coffee pot, but if either one dies, and I can't replace it with the exact same one, she will probably lose that ability. I have a caretaker who comes five mornings a week and makes sure she gets up, gets dressed, and has breakfast. She has a housekeeper who comes and cleans and does laundry. I go over every day in the afternoon and sit with her for a while, make dinner, and make sure that everything is turned off before I leave. I do all of her shopping, take her to all of her doctor and dental appointments, make sure that all of her prescriptions are filled, and that she takes her medicine every day. If something at her house needs fixing, I'll take care of that. I used to take her to church on Sunday, but thankfully, she now prefers just to watch it on tv. Of course, she can't operate her tv anymore, so I have to be there every Sunday morning for that. I have three siblings, but none of them live very close (Austin, Baytown, and Bellville). Thankfully my two sisters do come in every Friday so that I get a day off. One of my sisters does handle all of her finances, so at least I don't have to worry about that. I don't really worry too much about her being alone because all she does it sit in her chair and read her western novels. I do have to keep her well supplied with those, although with her memory problems she can read them over and over again. My two sisters have been talking about moving her to an assisted living facility, but I know that if that happens she will die within a few months. Her mother was just like that. She lived alone in her house in Wharton until she was 95, She got sick and my mom moved her to an assisted living facility near her in Houston, and she died within a few months. My mom does love my dog Sebastian, so he goes with me to her house on most days, but I have to be careful that he doesn't knock her over (he weighs 86 lbs). My mom lives close to Tanglewood dog park, so Sebastian and I usually stop there for a while and decompress a little. Taking care of my mother every day, and my Autistic and intellectually impaired daughter four days a week gets a little overwhelming at times. On Sundays, cook a big lunch after church, so I don't have to go back and cook dinner for her. Usually, on Sunday after my daughter's soccer practice, Sebastian and I will go to the ranch and spend the night. He loves to run all over it and chase the Longhorns, and I get a chance to just sit on the porch and chill. As long as I am back in Houston on Monday afternoon it usually works out fine. I am at the point now that I am seriously considering selling my house and moving in with my mom. She has two bedrooms upstairs that I could move into, and she never goes upstairs any way (thankfully). The only real down side to that is Sebastian. I think it would be a little difficult for him without any kind of a yard. My mom's townhouse only has an atrium that's about 10 feet by 20 feet, and that's not very much for a dog his size. Sebastian has been my rock through all of this. He can sense when I'm feeling down and he'll come over and nudge my hand until I start petting him to calm down. His favorite pastime is to lay next to me on the sofa, with his head in my lap, and sleep while I watch Longhorn baseball. Any way, that's my life. If you actually read any of this, I thank you. I feel better just typing it out.
  15. It's time to start outing those thugs that hide behind masks
  16. When you're at aggy, 10 years seems like 100
  17. Guess how many schools have made the CWS in nine consecutive decades, although only eight in Omaha
  18. Hopefully not, only losers play on Tuesday.
  19. When that trailer started I was sure it was going to be. Movie about a school shooting.
  20. Scored as is different than stats. A pick off is scored as PK1-3 for example if the runner is called out diving back to first
  21. Same reason they sell beer at the gas station, so they make money off of your stupidity
  22. White tank top should jump up and down more
  23. Are perspective students ones who view UT from a different angle?
