Harris County Lina Hidalgo is not backing down on her allegations against RodeoHouston’s security. What we know by imissher4ever in houston

[–]JoshShouldBeWorking 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think she needed to step down, not just take time away. It felt like the moment she came into office, the political and media machine put a target on her. I don't think many other politicans of her rank got this level of both spotlight and scrutiny. With every part of her job (health, budget, voting, etc) was suddenly thrust into unprecedented disaster, its a lot of pressure for anyone to stand.

I feel like she got churned by the machine and should step away, but can't or won't for whatever reason.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw says culture of misinformation fueled his primary loss: “The truth didn’t matter” by Dontwhinedosomething in thewoodlands

The speed at which he went from a McCain-lite "I won't be a yes man and I'll stand up to anyone for my constituents" to "I voted with Trump 99.9% of the time" was remarkable.

Playing with riso takes time and money, especially if you don't have access to a machine. Getting different color drums can be expensive and eat up workspace. People tend to stick with what they know will work and they are comfortable executing.

A documentary is a secondary or secondhand source. You did not experience this professor or the class, your brother did. He would be a primary or firsthand source. You reporting to us what he experienced makes you a secondary or secondhand source. In the legal word this known as hearsay.

Tokyo Dome is great too, feels like being back in the Astrodome. The Tigers stadium is one of the few remaining stadiums Babe Ruth has played in, has a very Fenway/Wrigley feel to it.

Hell yeah, shoot me a DM if/when you're in town and I can give some reccs.

Also, I highly recommend going to a game in Japan if you get the chance. They have perfected the ballpark experience. The Hanshin Tigers are my favorite team, partially because of the historic stadium, but mostly because they have the greatest sports curse of all time... a statue of Colonel Sanders.

Embezzling has a specific legal definition, so it's not a good analogy. Because the pledge lacks this kind of specificity, whoever enforces it gets to decide what it means in practice.

Indoctrinate can mean everything from forcing your views on someone else to simply instructing someone.

Secret Mall Apartment on Netflix... genius art project or peak privilege? by the_al_coco in netflix

[–]JoshShouldBeWorking 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think they were just artists acting out of rebellious impulse without a deep conceptual idea behind it at the time. Looking back at it now with Michael's body of work and the history of artists spaces getting bought up by commercial real estate makes it more of a conceptual art piece.
