I’m forever following Drew’s posts for the simple fact that he posted a Baroness video. Fuck yes.

Also, the art that was on the video was created by John Dyer Baizley, who is also the frontman for Baroness. Dude’s art is the best neo-Art Nouveau stuff available today. See more here:

Whoa. Calm down, buddy. I didn’t see your admission. My bad.

Re: Amish and the Mormons, I didn’t say they sentenced them — not in the way a tribal council does. That’s why I said that we could expand the discussion a little bit beyond where it is right now, because “sentencing” is not the only form of sanctioning or…

Well, this wasn’t a legal governing body. This was an informal tribal council that has been declared illegal by India’s courts. But if you want to expand that just a little bit, let’s talk about any US subculture that regularly accepts — overtly — the rape of women (forced arranged marriages) or even young girls. I’ll…

Unionize. That’s what you do.

Mine’s a quick one.

I had a co-worker a few years ago who actually used to go to my old high school. It was one of those weird “small world” things. I used to be really good friends with her brother, lost contact but got back into contact when she started working there and she gave me his info. A few months after that,…

The question that followed after the hair question was, directly, about media bias against Clinton because of her gender. He said that it is an issue and that it’s wrong.

His appearance is scrutinized. Maybe folks have short memories, but just a few months ago, when he announced, he got mad scientist jokes, lots of people making remarks about his wild hair and on Jon Stewart’s last week, he again made a jab at Sanders’ hair.

Not defending Fiornia (Sanders ‘16), but Lincoln was a notorious failure at almost everything, including as a business man, prior to being President.

Absolutely nothing you wrote here matters. Your company broke the law. Workers are free to discuss their pay and it does not matter if it caused “extreme discord.” The only reason you got away with it was because of yourself ex-employee’s apparent ignorance of the law.

“We had a guy fired for telling another co-worker the amount of a bonus he got. Again, that’s standard and appropriate.”

See, this is ridiculous. It’s a slightly separate issue, but it’s still absurd, where Americans are extremely afraid of talking about their pay. There is no standard like this anywhere else in the…

There’s a difference, though, between saying “This is the way things have always been done” and “This is the way things should be done.” Going on a podcast and spilling insider info is bad, yeah, but a tailored punishment would have been better. Nintendo’s stock didn’t crash and the company is still running the same…

Those are some cool looking mammatus clouds.

I guess I’m gross people.

If you’re good at controlling the temp on a propane grill, you can go ahead and do it. But you’ve got to find a way to introduce smoke into it. Either through some chips or something. Ideally, you would just smoke the thing. You should have a very neutral wood, instead of something extremely fragrant like a fruit…

Native Austinite here. Franklin has probably the best brisket that I’ve ever eaten. It’s worth it for one go around. But, yeah, there are places that get pretty near it and without the ridiculous line. Louie Mueller’s BBQ in Taylor, TX, (a bit outside of Austin) is one. Another is Cooper’s BBQ in Llano and City Meat…

Why did you make it all froo-froo

Aaron Franklin worked with KLRU and made a series of kind of how-tos:

When I was a kid, growing up in a small town, we played with fireworks because there was nothing else to do. We’d shoot roman candles at each other, throw fireworks at each other, smoke bombs and what not.

One time, one of my friends decided that he was going to throw a smoke bomb in the front door of my house, and it…

Came here to post this, actually.

For the first line; I’m a guy and a girl said that to me exactly after I asked her on a date. She used it as her reason for not wanting to go on a date with me. It was really confusing and hurtful but she delivered it in a way that I think she thought was going to soften the blow for me.
