@McNeillLance @data_atx just write it off?

@_adamdoug @data_atx I’m actually considering a public benefit corporation to do that exact kind of work. The struggle is how to make it financially sustainable

Austin city nonprofit contract of the day $450k to asian, hispanic, and black contractor associations to get the word out about contract opportunities with the city Is this still needed w/ the internet? These opportunities are posted very publicly 🤔

@Kyle_Beckley @CompletedStreet I wasn't complaining, douchbag. Congrats on your location.

@_adamdoug @CompletedStreet I can wall to 2 different grocery stores within 10 minutes. Another is a 20 minute walk. When I lived in a different part of town it wss much harder, I had a 15 minute walk to just one supermarket. But go ahead and eat at your gas stations and complain.

Other countries: Fresh, affordable food available within walking distance of every neighborhood. U.S.: 15 brands of genetically modified hyper-processed ice cream that requires a $35,000 vehicle to access.

@GiaMMacool I remember reading that book and agreeing with what they were trying to say....the problem is who wins when facts and feelings do not converge? Does my opinion trump yours because of my identity?

Every time someone says ‘emotional intelligence,’ I know they’re deep in feminist brain rot with zero frame. True intelligence is consistent, logical, and reliable over time. Emotions flip hourly with zero constancy. The word “emotional intelligence” was created by a feminist in 1990. 🤣 These days, I think people just hear things that sound good and just start repeating them for no good reason.

@data_atx Something local would be cool. P Terry's Drive?

Feels like this dropped out of the news cycle real fast Do people still want the street name changed? If its a million to change, maybe we just leave it the same? Say its named after the boxer? or maybe sell the naming rights?

@PatrickSlayZee @bryanrbeal you tell such a lovely story. tell it again.

@_adamdoug @bryanrbeal My Lowe’s and Home Depot are packed on a normal Tuesday

I don’t care what the “official” statistics tell you, when you go to a Home Depot on Memorial Day and you don’t see a single other soul in the entire store, something is wrong with the economy

@UndeadDan @CompletedStreet yeah, look at the clientele and tell me how we are doing as a country....MAHA? haha.

@_adamdoug @CompletedStreet Motherfucker meet Buc-ee’s

@tomorr53 @CompletedStreet have you ever been to a green grocer? Or have you only lived in places where you drove 10 minutes to get things? I am confused about whether you are trying to be funny or just provincial.

@_adamdoug @CompletedStreet Well you see, a store can function if they only sell spinach. Stores need to sell a vast majority of things to make money to stay open. People steal lots of things, which causes the store to close, which causes the spinach to disappear.

@tomorr53 @CompletedStreet What does theft have to do with access to good food? nobody steals spinach.

@_adamdoug @CompletedStreet No. Not everyone should have access to good food. I’ve lived in poverty stricken areas in my youth, and nothing is there for a reason. Business owners shouldn’t have to it up with continual theft and crime.

@tomorr53 @CompletedStreet that is a good analogy. Not sure if they are profitable or not but I like the one near my Mom's house. Some of us have 10 grocery stores to choose from - some have the convenience store they can walk to. everyone should have access to good food.

@_adamdoug @CompletedStreet We have neighborhood Walmarts where I live. They are great. Little Walmarts in the middle of neighborhoods.

@aytoozeeusa @CompletedStreet yes. Back in San Francisco, you could do most of your food shopping within 3 blocks. Just not at 7-11.

@_adamdoug @CompletedStreet You buy food at the gas station?

@JackWalkerFarm @CompletedStreet not sure - it was just really handy, when I was taking care of my grandmother, to walk 3 minutes to the local place and get good, fresh food. hard to find that in the states. It is just different, you do not have to expect anything.

@_adamdoug @CompletedStreet They probably quit selling it because noone use the gas station as a fruit stand. I also don't go to a fresh meat market and expect to be able to buy a quart of oil and a gallon of antifreeze.

@SarahisCensored actually, forcing data to fit your prejudice is exactly what equity is.

🚨Fact - It was brought up in the bond hearing by the prosecution that Karmelo Anthony had a “prior assault” or “altercation” involving Karmelo on February 4, 2025, two months before the stabbing of Austin Metcalf. The incident was “handled internally” by Frisco ISD and did not involve law enforcement or criminal charges. It was referenced in court as part of the prosecution’s argument to keep the bond at $1 million (they lost; the judge reduced it to $250,000 with house arrest and an ankle monitor). Some believe he brought a knife to school. I have been told by multiple sources that he allegedly threw a chair. Either way, somehow it went away. 🚨ALSO a fact - The Texas Education Agency (TEA) told Frisco ISD in 2020-2021: black males were being disciplined at ‘disproportionate’ rates compared to their population share. Black students ~11% of enrollment, but ~35% of out-of-school suspensions. So the TEA ordered the district to review & revise its Code of Conduct. 🚨Translation: Stop disciplining black students so much or we’ll keep flagging you. This isn’t ‘equity.’ It’s telling schools they can’t report reality when the numbers don’t match racial quotas. Behavior doesn’t care about demographics. Lower standards help no one - it clearly did not help Austin Metcalf.

@FWPlayboy If she is fit, join a running or rowing or biking group - lots of men there who would like to meet her. Meetup has some cool/no pressure social groups for the 60+ too. Good luck to her!

She should focus exclusively on newly widowed Men 60+. She should cruise the obituaries, funeral homes, and let her friends know what she’s looking for, These Men are accustomed to being married, being providers, don’t carry baggage of a divorce, children are grown, and he wants to return to normalcy (Married Man) as soon as possible. She’ll be fulfilling a much needed role.

@lizisamused better and cheaper birth control is also at play. Most of the younger women I date have IUDs or those shots - much easier for them to stay on birth control longer than the older pills from what I read.

"Women are the reason the birth rate is dropping!" Could you please point to the men in college or their early 20s or their mid 20s or their late 20s who were dying to get married & have kids? Cuz honestly, most guys I watched get married in those age ranges either straight up didn't or were dragged into it by a woman 🤷🏻‍♀️

@gdevega what don't you like? have you been to Chennai? Have you lived in northern DFW recently?

@_adamdoug Reading your posts, we agree on a lot of things. But this post is just something else. . . . shameful:

Dallas, Texas is quickly becoming unlivable with the Indian invasion

@Dylan_Morri keep in mind that my guy in the pic probably works 65 hours a week to afford her.

The south isnt “easy” for men to find pretty girls. it’s that the southern culture breeds respectful, strong, confident, and kind young men. Women tend to like that

@LizzyStarrrdust I took some great body shots back in the pit days - now, I watch them online. Love it when they let the little kids in there to mosh it out! great feeling getting smashed around having fun.

What I love about punk shows is that I, a 5'3* 46 year old woman can be in the pit alongside a 3'11" 10 year old boy, and a 6'2" 25 year old brick house of a motherfucker all jumping around, letting it all go and being purely human.
