So the cops came out to investigate the accident, didn’t notice she was bombed and returned after someone reported she was acting erratically and then found her sitting in the backseat of the car? That’s some quality police work. She should have kept her mouth shut and not blown.

Austin cleans out a homeless camp.  51 people removed....and almost TWO HUNDRED TONS of trash.  TWO.  HUNDRED.  TONS.  https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/homeless/homeless-encampment-govalle-park-colorado-river-wildlife-sanctuary/269-6a8f5743-65b5-48fd-b822-cd1054f013be

We've had this conversation 1000 times, and 1000 ways, but it sure as shit still comes down to "no sane place lets a handful of people fucking destroy the community."  Two hundred tons of trash.  Fuck that shit.  That's 8,000 lbs of trash per person back there.  Fucking enough of this shit.

But don’t spend $100m in a year to “fix” it.

David Gray, the city's Homeless Strategy Officer, said the closures were a priority because the encampments had grown within floodplains, posing risks to wildlife, public access and the the people living in the encampments. 

Never mind the safety risks to the family residents of the neighborhood, their quality of life and property.

I am not buying the weight of the trash.

Did they actually weigh it ?
Doubtful.

Someone pulled that number out their ass.

Judging by the homeless camps up in my area, that number is probably low. Those folks love to collect garbage.

Not saying that it WASN'T pulled out of someone's ass, but actually....City garbage trucks actually have internal scales to weigh how much trash they have on board.  It's part of the regulatory requirements on landfills, recording daily volumes and such.  It's not as accurate as an ag department certified grocery scale, but it's close enough to satisfy regulatory requirements.

Now, someone STILL might be bullshitting you, because people do that shit.  But odds are they had a pretty good idea from the readings on the trucks as they headed off to the landfill.

Gotta love this place.  Because this particular camp endangered wildlife (allegedly), it was a top priority to go.  Camps endangering other humans?  Fuck 'em. 

At least we now understand the playbook.  I'll be bringing up the golden cheeked warbler in an attempt to get the assholes in the woods near us evicted before they start a southern CA style wildfire in our neighborhood.  If it stopped development in our area it can sure as shit be used to justify getting the useless junkie trash out of the woods.

AISD is advertising Burnet, Dobie, and Webb as “district-led restart” campuses. They are offering a $15,000 annual stipend. For teachers with more than 2 years of experience and good reviews, they can get an additional 5k. Sped and bilingual can tack on another 7k. 

I assume this means they are not going the charter route. It’s a tough job with a lot of uncertainty for anybody that takes it. You know it will all be about state testing, constant benchmark assessments, and admin living up your ass about your lesson plans, teaching style, and whatever flavor of the week initiatives they come up with.

Do Leanderthals belong in this thread?  

Assistant Principal blows a .282 BAC after hitting a guy on a bike right in front of her own school, on her way to work at 7:15 on a Monday morning.

Career .282 in MLB will get you hall of fame consideration.  Thats a bonkers BAC at 8am.  She probably did go to bed at 330am but it wasn't 2 seltzers.  It was more like a liter of Popov.
