To be fair, there are some places out there that are less ‘poor people don’t care,’ and more ‘the owls are not what they seem.’ That’s what this station feels like. That’s less to do with poverty (though it helps), and more to do with mind-numbing isolation.

GOTTA LIGHT?

They have terrible policies that will backfire on all of us without due diligence, but take it easy: we are not over the ledge yet.

And land money: the land market in Texas has always been a near guaranteed moneymaker because there is so damned much of it. But, yes: there is NO excuse for Texas asshole ways other than it’s always been this way.

The Texas State government has enthusiastically thrown itself into being a pain in the neck of all Texans, including this, the bathroom bill, and a bizarre campaign led by Dan Patrick against our urban regions. He has stated that it’s no surprise that crime is high in cities, the traditional bastions of Democratic…

Texas is actually not like that. I mean, sure, there are probably some places in Texas that are Lynchian in their manner, but that’s anywhere. But speaking as a Texan, I could always tell when I was in Oklahoma, because if I somehow glossed over the fact I had crossed the Red River, the sheer amount of roadkill rose…

“Sir, the dragons are tired. We have to let them rest, or they won’t be in play for Korea.”

“The...the tits, sir?”

“Too much talking, but great tits. Needs more tits. Also, fire. Make a note. Love the fire. Lots of fire. Having all the not-nice people, and the fire, same place. Fire and not-nice people. It’s the best. And its. Fire tits.”

We cannot, repeat, CANNOT, allow ‘Game of Thrones’ to reach the White House. It is giving this man ideas he is not equipped to process!

I don’t even know how you psychologically prepare for that. To go from ‘going about your day’ to ‘random act of naked aggression,’ your brain just can’t keep up that fast. There’s that terrifying moment of switching over where the mind is trapped in a state of ‘what the fuck just happened?’

I don’t think it’s that: some of it was bizarrely aggressive, some of it was accepting, and a lot of it seemed to come from older women with apparent family members in their profile pics.

I know! And it’s, like, a no-brainer. Everybody’s saying, “She kicked first.” And I’m, like, “If that’s what you’re saying, you’re a goddamned idiot. It’s not even a debate: this isn’t ‘the dress is white or blue!’” This was an attack that was completely unprovoked, and acting like somehow she was the instigator is…

And the weird thing is, most of the people initially defending the man’s actions were women. How the hell does that happen?

What’s amazing to me is how many people (primarily women, which I cannot understand) over on Facebook are blaming the female victim for this! They’re saying she clearly tried to trip him, when it’s very obvious that her leg swung out only because she was being violently pushed to the ground. Like, they refuse to see…

Had anyone else seen the Donald Trump TV ‘Real News’ broadcast? It was...quaintly second-world. If you know what I mean. In other words, downright unnerving....

It’s more complicated than that: while there are occasional cross-border incursions that can involve family or individuals, the majority of cross border incursions involve guides and smugglers. While they may not deliver people straight into sexual slavery or labor bondage, the same networks result in people…

This is true, but I admit I wasn’t thinking of them: I was thinking of illegal immigration as it pertains to border crossings. In which case, these fall squarely under the category of human trafficking.

The vast majority of circumstances involving illegal immigration are human trafficking: in order for an illegal immigrant to enter a country, they have to be brought in or guided in: frequently, these are handled by criminal networks and organizations that victimize the people they move. The only real circumstance…
