  1. The Jedi need to be treated like they were described in ANH…an obscure religious cult that was more a legend than reality for most people. Making them knights of the round table helping run the galaxy bullshit was a mistake IMO.
  2. https://www.threads.com/@aclu_nationwide/post/DJplE-BPAP9?xmt=AQF09D-jEuKGfFw-ZczFAD8__WWu-KvwvzFJpZEFKIu1Vs4 BREAKING: Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced he has ordered the FDA to consider new nationwide restrictions on medication abortion — and that President Trump, not scientists or doctors, will make the final decision.
  3. My definitive list of the best Star Wars characters: 1 Luthen 2 Kleya 3 Mon 4 Han 5 Cassian 6 K2SO 7 Saw 8 Vader 9 Luke 10 Porkins
  4. Beer is warmer, weather is milder, pussy is hairier.
  5. Picked these up at HEB yesterday. After 20 seconds a side in a skillet, they are fantastic. I like them better than the Mi Tienda ready to cook flour tortillas.
  6. I hate to have to point this out to you but normal Americans are racist cultists.
  7. This thread is my only reminder that's there's still a Democratic Party.
  8. We really enjoyed the Monday Jack White show. We were 10 feet from the stage so maybe that helped with the vibe. My favorite show was his Austin Music Hall performance maybe a decade ago.
  9. I noticed in the second page they circled the dash usage. For me that’s a telltale sign that letter was poorly written with AI. For whatever reason, AI loves to use dashes in text it writes.
  10. I don't think timing matters much with this lifetime performance:
  11. I'll wait and let that ETF build up some history to review. Being down -4% while Berkshire is up +7% in the same timeframe doesn't make me want to invest early on.
  12. Bought some BRK-B at the end of the day yesterday since it had dipped like 4% with Buffett's retirement. That's my first foray back into stocks since the first of March. I'm now around 60% GLD, 30% SGOV, 10% BRK-B.
  13. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-troubles-european-business-is-getting-worse-as-sales-slump-in-april-155815479.html Tesla’s (TSLA) troubles in Europe are going from bad to worse. The latest data out of the UK found Tesla registrations (a proxy for sales) hit only 512 new vehicles in April, per the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders auto trade group. That figure is down 62% from a year earlier; meanwhile, Chinese EV maker BYD's (BYDDY) registrations surged over 650% to 2,511 units. Tesla’s UK underperformance follows weakness in other key regions. Germany’s KBA trade group reported registrations dipped 46% in the country to 885. The country is home to Tesla’s only European factory. BYD saw its German registrations jump over 755% to 1,566 units.

    2025 ACL

    Woof. I would care to see Rilo Kiley, Phantogram, Modest Mouse, and Wet Leg. Of course my kid is making me go to see Sabrina Fucking Carpenter. Fuck me.

    Austin FC

    Uzuni is straight ass. He had a perfect look at the goal and instead of a committed strike, he touch passes it to the keeper. WTF.

    Austin FC

    This was one of our worst performances in our history and that’s saying something. A 0-1 score is an insurmountable obstacle for us.
  17. The USL is adding promotion and relegation in two years. In addition, they are going to the proper soccer calendar of AUG-MAY. The USL final already drew better TV ratings than the MLS final. You can buy in to the semi-pro USL League 2 for $75,000 and work your way up to top flight soccer. With a $500M buy in to MLS, no owner wants to risk relegation. MLS will continue to try and fit a square NFL peg in an international soccer round hole and get left in the dust. Eric Wynalda has some good podcasts on it if you want a deep dive into the topic. They’re also on the Golz TV YouTube channel.
  18. Just got home from Ministry, Nitzer Ebb, and Die Krupps. This was great top to bottom. Die Krupps hasn’t played Austin since ‘96 even though Jurgen lives here. They killed it. I would love to see a full set. Nitzer Ebb is always good for just being two dorks on stage. Ministry is only playing Twitch, With Sympathy, and earlier Wax Trax singles on this tour and it absolutely killed. Yeah, Al has to use a vocal track to keep up but the crowd loved it and the reworked versions of the songs were great.

    Spoon

    I’ll admit that I’ve never really listened to Spoon. They’ve always seemed a bit boring to me. I know their major singles and that’s about it. I just listened to a few albums and my initial impression is that they are an American imitation of Brit Pop. Dunno if anyone who’s been a fan for their entire run hears that.
  20. Going back to the Dobie MS issue...there is another special school board "information only" meeting on Friday to talk about options for Dobie, Webb, and Burnet Middle Schools. Looks like there are now 3 campuses that need to be fixed immediately. So, that's 1,800 kids that will need to be absorbed by A/B campuses. Murchison, prepare your butthole.
  21. Think how much money you will save by having nothing available to buy! MOAR MONEY IN YER POCKET!!!
