Okay maybe not. This is $5 million.

I am surprised this is that cheap honestly. That's well over a million bucks in a nice burb even here.

SEIU Delenda Est ...

I don't blame SEIU for this for the same reason I don't blame billionaires who take advantage of every tax loophole. If it's legal, do it. The lede (which Alexander gets to but buries) is that governance in California is clown-oriented.

Yes I am aware of the timing. It would be nice if we would learn something from history, but since we don't, it makes for good trivia games.

The Most Annoying Driver Behavior in Every City Tailgating, sloppy parking, excessive honking, the list of annoying driver behaviors goes on and on. In this study, we identify where it’s the worst.

This is ludicrously insulting. Everyone knows that other cities have worse traffic but Dallas has the douchiest drivers. I'm going to go out and cause a fiery pile-up today just out of irritation for being left off this list.

I saw 300. I'm sure it was fine. The Persians never interfered in Greece again and the Spartans beat the Thebans and then the Macedonians and lived happily ever after.

Careful making suggestions, we'll end up with a Super Bowl in Nuuk or Gaza City.

I think I've been blocked by more people on here than on Twitter despite being as milquetoast as I believe it's possible for a human being to be. I miss LiveJournal.

Boomer Esiason suggests barring California from hosting Super Bowl After learning Sam Darnold lost money by playing the Super Bowl in California, Boomer Esiason believes the NFLPA should react strongly.

I mean, he's not wrong.

I didn't think it was great, but not because of the Spanish. Get Mala Rodriguez up there screaming and I'm fully in, and I suspect certain people would be even more out.

Brick fell off the truck in front of me on the freeway and bounced to head height (which is how I learned anything will bounce off concrete at 70mph). I punched the accelerator until I was right on the truck's bumper and it dented in my car roof instead of my face.

I'm not going to link to it because it's been covered mainly by mouth-breathing outlets, but A&M apparently spent a comparatively exorbitant amount of money on H-1B adjuncts and then was very slow to respond to FOIA requests about it. Not defending this obvs., but that's why it got stirred up now.

I did the "create an image of how I treat you" thing with Gemini and other than the fact that it (accurately) think I'm a nerd, I'm fine with it. It doesn't think I'm running a substandard prison.

Very meta. The app refuses the accept the word for the thing it's doing to you by refusing to accept the word.

There are no conservative Episcopals left in Texas. There was a schism; those are Anglican Church of North America now.

The Democratic Party returned its lowest YouGov approval rating since 2017 this week, with 2/3 of registered voters disapproving, and I agree that what is clearly needed to get back in touch with median voters is threatening to prosecute their kids making 25k a year for not consulting good lawyers.

Here’s to P. J. O’Rourke!β€”Now Let’s Get His Papers Archived Those interested in supporting this project can visit the Briscoe Center’s dedicated website to contribute to the project.

Hey @laplanck.bsky.social , how come the most famous alumnus of your university who is not a sports sex pest, inconsequential forgotten president or Jessica Simpson ex is going to have his papers preserved at that university in Austin?

Eh. This was also standard practice for scholarships where I went to school, and I wrote a thank-you letter that got passed along to somebody. Probably.

Here’s Where Home Prices Surged the Most in North America (2005–2025) Home prices have grown fastest in Canadian metros since 2005, followed by cities in the Southern United States.

In Texas we have decided to test the theory that people move here for low real estate prices by seeing what happens when we don't have those (so far no difference actually, perhaps because salary to home price ratio is still good).

Jury Trials to Be Scrapped in England for Complex Financial Crimes Juries will be scrapped in England and Wales for a range of criminal trials, including the most complex financial crime, in the biggest shake-up of the country’s justice system in decades.

Who needs a written constitution? Not these guys!

Someone in the Trump admin is reading your posts and thinking about how you can't extradite people to a city that isn't there anymore.
