The Internal Monologue
I really had no idea that some people have no internal monologue. I'm genuinely fascinated the more I think about this because I can't turn mine off. Also, I read a ton and can't even process how one reads without hearing it in your head. Thanks for sharing. As for memory, I remember just about everyone I meet -- faces, names, where we met, what we were doing, etc. I've had to learn that when I "meet" someone later I can't just blurt out, "Oh we met back in college. You were roommates with so-and-so, and we had Spanish together." It really freaks people out. So now I just say, "you look familiar, have we met before?" or I just play it off entirely.

Voted yesterday at House Park / Austin Rec Center. Went after lunch rush, and it took about 30 minutes.- Suzanne Simpson, the disappearing San Antonio realtor (UT alum)
Brad's lawyers are punching back. https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/suzanne-simpson-brad-simpson-san-antonio-19851951.php This is interesting: I just assumed he turned off her phone and destroyed it the night all of this went down, but I guess he/someone tried to make it look like she was alive and active the next day. And maybe I've missed it, but who told the daughter to school?- Abbott being Abbott
This piece of shit is more worried about his own power than he is about the state possibly executing an innocent man. How Christian of you, Greg. https://www.texastribune.org/2024/10/21/texas-greg-abbott-robert-roberson/ Yes, you're perfectly happy to demean others when you think it gives your supporters a hard on, while ignoring yet another actual duty of your job. Just fuck all the way off with this.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
I've tried it, and I don't recommend it. They are impervious to any facts about what Trump says or does that 10 years ago would have set their hair on fire. These are people who believe they are smarter than most and to change course now would be an admission that they were wrong about the fucker. So they dig in and tell you you're a fool for supporting anyone else. So now when I see them, I just ask about their kids and move on.- Tell me about ou
- Sedona, AZ
Whatever you do, avoid staying at the Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock. It is one of the shittiest hotels I've ever stayed at, and it should be burned to the ground.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
Yep. This is an old R trick. Laura Bush and Cindy McCain did it, too. "Hey, I'm pro choice, so don't be scared to vote for my husband." (And I apologize for putting the Bushes and McCains in the same post as these shit stain Trumps.)- Surly kids applying / attending UT
He needs to be strategic about the major he's applying to. Then he needs to be sincere in the essays about why UT should want him in that program. Don't let an essay counselor/consultant drive the message. I don't know what the best source of information on the admissions criteria and percentages by major, but if going to UT is more important that a specific major, then target one of the less competitive ones.- Longhorn fans embarrassing the rest of us
- Ken Paxton is dirty? NO FUCKING WAY!
Came here to post excerpts from the opinion -- wow. Blacklock, Young, and (less surprisingly) Hecht put their names on that. Bitch slap, indeed. Probably too much to ask that they make Ken sit for deposition in the whistleblower case.- What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Didn't Steve Patterson float the idea of putting a new basketball arena in Pease Park? Or am I just making that up based on all the other dumb ideas he had?- Surly kids who can't get into UT
Congrats on Bama. Did he consider Georgia? My oldest is there and loves it. Athens is a very cool town -- reminds us a lot of how Austin felt 30 years ago. So many Texas kids there too.- 2024 Texas GameDay Stadium Experience Thread
Nope. They used to have access at halftime from one gate and return to the stadium as long as you scanned out. No more.- Fuck Big 12 refs
Deleted. But fuck Kevin Mar.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
I met him once years ago through mutual friends before he got on tv. He's always been soft and thinks he's smarter than everyone else. Fuck him.- Surly kids applying / attending UT
Austin moms started carpooling girls for rush parties because it's so bad. One group of girls had to duck into a random house because some homeless asshole was chasing them and yelling at them.- What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
I swear the city waits until August to do most road construction projects.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
About the necklace, yes, both it and her clothes from that shoot could have been on loan to the stylist. And there are many similar-looking necklaces out there that aren't $62K. It's pretty common to see a well-known Tiffany or Cartier design "duped" at a lower price. Just google Kamala's Tiffany necklace for them to appear ready to purchase for the low price of $165. But I hope (and bet) it's fucking real and hers and that she keeps wearing it. And then I hope some TikTok account runs pictures of Melania carrying various Hermes handbags and talks about their price tags because each runs anywhere between $10K and $75K (or more).- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
Yes, and yes. A law school friend and anti-science (or as she puts it "pro-nature") crusader was all in on RFK, Jr. But she's also pro-women, and is now firmly in the Harris camp. She's a nut job, but she votes.- Where Should I Retire...?
