do they need to add a ballroom to their data centers? bond shenanigans not pulling in enough?

wtf is with the 'selling a stake' in FF?

probably lot of non-nazi heritage staffers would love to work on the real thing for good wage and opportunity. this goes right to the heart of neo liberal outsourcing of competence and a functioning bureaucracy.

oh yes, the lighter-than-air assertion that the DOMINANT position of a group i'm arguing with is stuck in the past. sounds like every sweaty incompetent manager I ever worked with.
trying to think of any policy implemented by Republicans in the last 30 years worth emulating...not worth the squeeze.

pissing off a ton off business flyers right now. wife has been enjoying the pleasant environs of Regina SK for the past two weeks and is on the verge of having a meltdown if she can't get back home Saturday. told me she might have to call out tomorrow and go day drinking.

yeah no sass or light sarcasm from cornyn makes it read: 'if reality were different, dems would fold'. he's an idiot but he isn't stupid.

I was thinking the other day about that whole 'young gun' group from twenty years ago,I think a lot of them even lived in the same d.c. house. when the stakes were low they seemed ok, even interesting on occasion.
Today they all read like caricatures or just goofs.
Ackerman prob the only good one.

my delusion is we are at least 10 years out from blexas, however Abbot is increasingly sounding like he is stroking out about something. I KNOW the audience for this stupid gruel but we are 6 months out from the start of crazy bigotry before the next election. just a wasted shot.

I live in Austin and we are having an overdue correction. 30% drop on my house and still way over what we bought at 8 years ago.
I spend a lot of time in MPLS and it is a perfectly tempered market. 500k can put you almost anywhere and 3-400 gets you pretty good.

side effect of drawing a lot of outsiders who really want to cosplay and put on the racist jingoism(hello Midwestern transplants). a lot of the native texans I know are nowhere near that level and seemed to accept the benefits of modernizing and the changes it brought.
I will say the rurals I meet

resettlement and support services.
it often occurs to me that a LOT of this was due to MN being overwhelmingly white until recently and just a shift in racial and cultural makeup was not something they could process.

TX on the other hand has become more like a Colorado but with an unfortunate

there isn't so much intolerance as discomfort of others. my very liberal parents were often disturbed at the Somalis moving into the apartment down the street, Floyd protests made it worse. it's funny it never manifests itself in a negative way politically, they just kept on supporting refuge ...

as a MN grown longtime TX resident the comparisons are wildly different but disconcertingly similar. MN has deeply rooted provincialism, even from people who grew up within physical sight of downtown MPLS /St Paul. family had longtime roots in Irish Cath Summit area. Cretin/St Thomas mafia etc...

also can't say that has REALLY worked out for the Republicans since they go off the rails every 4 to 6 years

I like the division of labor in theory but the reality seems to be the competent machine pols detest a charismatic face they can't control. most of the dem charisma these days comes from the left.

it symbolizes the failure of our institutions and leaders, at every point in this miserable stinks life, to route or cajole or push him onto a different course and the ability of wealth to protect you from consequences of repeated failure.

the bullshit around texas bbq is really offputting. really it's the texans and their 'food culture'.
despite it all really good texas bbq is quite good but really hard to find as even the best have a lot of off days.
pork makes better bbq anyways. pork steak at snow is freaking amazing

heb is fine but can be wildly inconsistent selection-wise. decent store brand stuff but it crowds out a lot of good outside brands.
central market on the other hand is incredible.
