Michelle Pfeiffer went through 60 catsuits during Batman Returns (1992). The vacuum-sealed latex was so tight she could only wear it for short bursts, and she often had to be covered in talcum powder just to squeeze into the iconic costume.

@FBGreatMoments Played four years, won the heisman, then did this on his way out. Different times.

@flatland_sports Maybe if you went to tech…

@SmartAssForReal Reading is hard

If you're Texas, there's only two teams on your non-conference schedule. Teams that you wouldn't be embarrassed if you lost to. Ohio State, Notre Dame etc And teams that you don't think you can lose to. UTSA, Rice etc. Texas will never schedule a competitive opponent (especially not a rival) that could potentially embarrass them. That's why yall dodged A&M for 10+ years before the SEC.

@yalltitanup I don’t think his husband would have found the purple hoodie/khaki combo very sexy

This is the kinda shit you wear with nothing under it on your husband’s birthday

@DrCameronMurray False analogy. Parking is a secondary use. Set a minimum parking requirement as the sole use and see how much you get.

YIMBYs: If you regulate carpark minimums, you get too MANY carparks Also YIMBYs: If you regulate housing minimums, you get too FEW homes Pick one please

I often wonder why YIMBYs don’t support minimum housing densities across all locations, which, by their logic, would accelerate new housing even more than just removing maximum housing densities where they apply.

@DrCameronMurray You’re being deliberately obtuse.

YIMBYs: If you regulate carpark minimums, you get too MANY carparks Also YIMBYs: If you regulate housing minimums, you get too FEW homes Pick one please

@DrCameronMurray Correct. Over regulation limits supply regardless of directionality.

@SmartAssForReal Yes. It would be tricky. Though notice that the inherent argument here is that if you limit density you get fewer homes, but if you require it you also get fewer homes?

@Gravtum @SeanMcCarthyCom This tweet is from after the election, by the way.

25th amendment. Impeach. Military coup. End this. I don't care how. Every worthless democrat is walking us off a fucking cliff into the apocalypse.

Without googling, name a famous Texan

@TexasFootball Yeah great catch. Some damn tight coverage by a true freshman though. Excited for Smoke

@GrappleClips Gotta hand it to Vince. He sold this dog crap match between two terrible workers as an epic showdown. Everyone ate it up, 10 year old me included.

@AustinJustice Bike lanes are not even in the top 10 reasons traffic is getting worse

One of the main reasons Austin traffic keeps getting worse is the routine conversion of car lanes into bike lanes. For years, Austin telling residents they should bike to work. About 1% of Austin commuters bike to work. About 75% drive. The city's response is a new downtown transportation plan -- estimated at up to $1.1 billion -- that reduces car lanes further.

@citygal3401990 @Shark1234564411 @big_pedestrian @CAgovernor Take this line of thinking to its logical conclusion and do your part for housing affordability

@Shark1234564411 @big_pedestrian @CAgovernor Building more housing makes affordability worse The solution to affordability is number one use a condom number two stop making people live too long.

Dear @CAgovernor Can we please give LA the smack down now? They are destroying California and the future of democracy.

@amazonmilkfrog @gabfbispo @Iainite_Iain Exactly. Like with the periodic table, where things are located is not trivial, it’s at the core of geography. Tobler’s law. Bad that people in the field don’t recognize that.

@gabfbispo @Iainite_Iain okay but i feel like that's a really good example. i don't expect a chemist to have the periodic table memorized, but i'd expect them to be able to go "ruthenium. that's a transition metal". "einsteinium. that's an actinide". "lead is towards the end of the stable elements"

Do people know what geography is?

@mnolangray Or death by a thousand cuts from other regulations like utility easements, stormwater, fire access, others

There hasn't been a missing middle ordinance that I'm aware of that has actually produced a lot of housing unless you include three-story townhouses, a typology that official missing middle housing advocates (ironically) oppose, e.g:

The trouble is that even erstwhile advocates of missing middle legalize it, but then subject to such restrictive design and massing standards that it can never actually get built. That's what's happening right now in Sacramento.

@ognuliscic @feelsdesperate @Holden114 He’s so close. Just right there.

@feelsdesperate @Holden114 If the $9 is too expensive take the subway

Congestion pricing makes life worse for people who paying $9 matters to. It makes life easier for people like me who don’t care about $9 and can get around more quickly. There’s no free lunch and in blue cities it’s almost always normal people that get screwed.

@Shuttlecock @CptAncapistan I was there. People hated Jar Jar

@CptAncapistan Incorrect.

The thing is, a whole generation didn’t hate the Star Wars prequels. I was 18 when Phantom Menace came out, saw it opening night with a few friends from student res, and then rewatched it at least three or four times in the theatre over the next month or so. Pretty much everyone saw this movie (and EpII & III). Guys and girls. Nerds and casuals. Many went multiple times (the box office numbers prove this). The merch sold through the roof, every magazine featured cover stories with the cast, most casual fans thought Jar Jar was funny while the Star Wars nerds were obsessed with the tech behind the character. Girls loved Padme’s fashion while straight guys loved Portman. The online fandom was hyperactive with fan theories, fan art, etc with a very clear even split between the male/female demos. Fan and general public reaction was insanely positive. This particular scene became ICONIC. 98% of the negativity came from the professional film critics. TPM wasn’t perfect by any means but the media definitely tried to push the message that it was a disaster, Jake Lloyd sucked, and that Jar Jar was offensive and racist. This weird gaslighting that it was the fans who were negative and toxic is just current media trying to do damage control for just how negative they were at the time.
