I was furious with Kevin O’Leary, the Shark Tank guy, for coming out full blast trying to save TikTok.
I should have known better. It’s now come out he wants to buy the company, with investors of course, because he doesn’t have that kind of scratch. I think he already has them lined up for the deal.
Good late afternoon/ early evening, Hamsters. The first day of DLS does absolutely nothing to increase our daylight time one second. That is the job of our Sun, who rules his planets, and will not add one second to today’s sunlight. I think it was last year around this time that serious talk was about dropping DLS completely, but making… Read more »
It would be fun to read the sale agreements between the owner of Deadspin, GoMedia, and the UK company that bought them with the clause stipulating none of the employees would be rehired.
The most interesting reading would be how the buyer makes the seller remain liable for the lawsuit from the young KC fan.
Among other things, Mr. C. discusses the legal ramifications of recent court rulings upholding Texas laws that will force porn providers to verify that their consumers are not underage children. In the discussion, he provides this insight: But second, Friday’s decision also delivered fresh ammunition to parents working to scrape obscene books and pornographic materials out of schools. If the… Read more »
Mr. C. starts off today’s column (remember he’s still out of town, he gave a speech to litigators): Thanks to everyone for yesterday’s birthday wishes. I had a great birthday! As a surprise, I got to shoot a machine gun and drive a race car. So now I am almost certainly on some kind of eco-terrorism watchlist. It was worth… Read more »
I was listening to Clay and Buck while playing in the dirt. Deadspin, the leftwing sports site that defamed that little kid for being racist and wearing “blackface” to a ball game – it’s been sold to a European entity and all of the staff are gone, gone, gone. Deadspin refused to acknowledge their error and apologize, so good riddance… Read more »
Well that may have been a mistake. 😀 I went up to Capital tractor to talk to Randy but when I got there I spotted a slightly used (848 hours) RTV X1120, Diesel SXS, complete with a windshield, roof, winch and hydraulic dump bed and I’m in love. So as soon as I can get $ome ca$h out of my… Read more »
I had made some hard boiled eggs for the road trip, so I’d have some snacks that were legit on my diet. I finally had my first meal of the day: egg salad. I also made Hubby a grilled cheese & ham sammich. I went outside and pulled a lot of bulb heads from our wild onion patch that is… Read more »
We’ve been watching a lot of 70’s and 80’s TV shows via Tubi. I just SMH when the cost of things comes up. A $600 car repair bill was a big deal back then. Nowadays, that just gets you in the door.
Finally made it in from the garden. Three tubs set up today, so I’ll be icing the back in a bit. Hubby is still using the walker, good for him. I thought that at first he thought his man card might be in jeopardy if he touched it, but common sense and necessity made that a moot point. He’s touching… Read more »
One more American institution swirling around the drain. This is about UGA Bulldogs and the SEC, but it applies to all college sports across the country. That is an emerging complaint from fans and one more factor that could create big changes in college sports, including revenue sharing in which schools directly pay their athletes, rather than asking fans to… Read more »
The famous old printing presses of the LA Times produced their last edition early this morning. The LAT is moving out of the building they once owned, but now can no longer afford to rent. Printing will be subcontracted to another company. This quote says it all. Their last in-house printed newspaper paper was 22 pages. Press operators gather to… Read more »
The Figure 4 map in my comment below shows a view of an urban/suburban/exurban/semi-rural mass stretching from Tulsa, OKC, northeast Texas, DFW, Waco, Austin, San Antonio to Hill Country counties.
It’s pretty amazing to see it exposed through retired ranch and farmland, but it’s right there. A huge chunk of America is moving to that region.
The US Census calls all agricultural operations “farms” regardless of whether they raise crops or are strictly livestock operations like ranches. The increase in productivity is really remarkable, but I think there are some dark data buried in these stats. Conducted every five years, the Census of Agriculture collects data on land use and ownership, producer characteristics, production practices, income… Read more »
Texpat 10:03, Hollywood has been doing that to White, observant Christian and Jew, heterosexual, conservative men since the 1980s. This group is almost never portrayed in a positive light in advertising, movies, TV shows. . . . . .anything. It would be an interesting list of things that were invented by the evil white man; even more fun would be… Read more »
Hollywood, the Whore of Babylon, not only sold out to China for access to their audiences, they have sold their production companies to Chinese financial control. Dune and its upcoming sequel were both financed by Legendary Pictures, which is majority owned by China’s Wanda Group. Legendary also financed the Pacific Rim movies and the latest Godzilla blockbusters.China’s influence on Hollywood is more than just financial.For… Read more »
Well dang, that was quick. My trusty Kubota is ready and Dean will be bringing it later today. I can pay the bill on-line but I need to talk to Randy in service so I think I’ll amble up that way and pay him a visit and pay him also. 😉
Even though we live in Bizarro World it is still a little surprising that all the left-wing whack-jobs and the Media, but I repeat myself, are more concerned about Biden calling a Murdering Thug “illegal” than the death of Lakin Riley. But there is power in words and the left is changing the language to fit their narrative. Illegal alien… Read more »
A Public Service Announcement Today is the first day of Ramadan. Observant Muslims fast from before sunrise to after sundown. They start getting a little punchy after a week of daylight fasting. Watch out for them driving out on the highways and byways. It could be worse. Things get really dicey when Ramadan falls in July-August-September when the days are… Read more »
Has anybody else notice a substantial majority of the pro-Hamas anti-Israel protesters are young women ? This is an excellent example of what I’m talking about. These Democrat morons showed up Ted Cruz’s home in Virginia at 7 AM on Saturday and scream, ring cowbells and make all the neighbors miserable. There are 15 girls out there shouting while one… Read more »

FWIW; I saw GJT’s garage over yonder and was reminded that the best thing about moving from Texas was getting rid of lost of junk.My garage wasn’t as bad as the picture but almost. I threw away and gave away a lot of stuff. Luckily Pete across the street was a car nut and had recently rebuilt his 80’s Firebird… Read more »
WTH time is it? I don’t know but I’ve been up since 5 AM give or take. Much cooler here at 45 degrees and I noticed that the heat didn’t come on overnight, it was 66 in the house this morning.

Everyone will remember me telling of dealing with my aunt’s stuff when she suffered a stroke, then passed in 2021. Never married and no kids it was left to us to deal with. Legendary hoarder, her stuff plus over a hundred years of family and extended family history got funneled to her and she dared not throw anything away. It… Read more »
I do not like DST at all. I do not like changing the effing clocks twice a year. It is a stupid endeavor that yields nothing but bad feelings, increased health issues and more car wrecks. DST has no redeeming qualities. The fact that our R leadership here in the Great State of Texas can’t even get DST killed and… Read more »
When I first came up here, a friend of mine’s father had just passed away. The old man had been a widower for 35 years and loved engineering, technology and inventions. There was a half-built robot in the living room. He was quite hoarder with a machine shop in the basement. After his wife died, he turned the three story… Read more »
Not hoarders, but they stashed cash everywhere, from each other? I don’t think so but you never know. There was $7K in a boot, $200 in an oven mitt, my sister found $1,500 in the closet the other day lol. We will have to check everything before tossing.
At the same we are beginning the process of dealing with our parents home, going over Sunday with everyone including grandkids to start clearing out what we want, the rest probably, hopefully using an estate sale company. If there is enough there to make it worth their while. Luckily, they weren’t too bad at hoarding, but it is a lifetime… Read more »
Not much participation from me lately, been busy, busy. I’m embarrassed.to say how long we have had a rented storage building, but a constant overstuffed garage there has been no place to put any of it.
