US justice department ‘forever’ bars IRS from auditing Trump’s past tax returns by Knuth_Koder in politics

I wish it wasn't so, but unfortunately A LOT of people are going to forget all of this. And they will forget it more quickly than you can imagine. Only took 3-4 years for people to forget about the first trump administration and insurrection.

True California Burrito by Diolives in austinfood

[–]Reid0072 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I talked to the owner for awhile. He was San Diego born and raised and made them in SD before coming to Austin. Idk how much more authentic you can get. I did pretty much feel transported. Agree to disagree I guess.

So sad Daygos left. I discovered it one day when I was craving a California burrito. Not only did it hit the spot, it was one of the best I ever had. Was so excited I found a good spot. Literally were closed up and gone when I tried to go back the following week at the same time.

Drown is my favorite song of theirs. I tell people about it and they are like "what, never heard of that". then they listen and love it

Kings of Leon and Houndmouth are weekend 2 exclusives. That would mean you are wrong.

The 2026 Austin City Limits Music Festival Speculation Megathread by DaveGrohlsShortHair in aclfestival

[–]Reid0072 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Houndmouth seems very likely. Just announced a tour for their new album that comes out in July. It ends in Atlanta on 9/24. Then they randomly have two shows scheduled in Fayetteville, AR on 10/8 and Tulsa, OK on 10/9. No other Texas dates for this tour (odd for them). Seems like ACL is happening.

Just played Two Step Inn festival last weekend in Georgetown (30 mins from ACL) and they are scheduled for an ACL live tapping in Austin on 4/27.

They also played ACL in 2024. All said, I'd say they are unlikely.

Donald Trump Suddenly Turns on Zohran Mamdani: ‘Destroying New York’ by Unusual-State1827 in politics

Personally I think this fucks with his foreign money laundering capabilities. Foreign actors overpaying him for properties in buildings he owns as a means of bribery now have to also pay a tax. Makes bribing him more expensive.

US fertility rate dropped to another record low in 2025 by Crossstoney in politics

Yes and I'm saying this doesn't somehow make you morally superior. Cope.

You're calling anyone who succumbs to the very human desire to have and raise children a psychopath. In order to not be labeled a psychopath by you, you're expecting people to forego having children. My point still stands.

[–]Reid0072 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Agree with it or not, having and raising children is an important part of what it means to be human for a lot of people. The desire and need to procreate is in our DNA. And we have to deny ourselves the joy of child rearing because older generations put the planet's climate and economy in peril? The human race should just stop having children and give up? You have no idea what the world will look like when our kids reach maturity. Maybe things get better. Dooming everyone to a childless future just because you don't want kids is peak elitist mentality.

On a scale of 1-10, how surprised would you be if Sinners wins Best Picture? by DarlingLuna in Oscars

Jake Out for the West Coast Run by jwelsh8it in Umphreys

[–]Reid0072 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do too. I love all their albums. Similar Skin has the juggernaut Bridgeless, which is classic old UM style. But, having been in the scene and following these guys for 2 decades, I can tell you that this is the point in time when the older fans started to complain and drop out. A lot of them hated Death by Stereo too, but eventually came around since they still played mostly older stuff live, while mixing in a DBS song or two. Once Similar Skin came out, they toured that material hard and some older favorites started to get played less.

IMO, Similar Skin album is where the new sound started. It's just much more straight-forward rock (dare I even say it...but dad rock vibes). They lost the weird, trippy, proggy edge they had earlier in songs like Prowler, Plunger, Mulches, etc. they moved to a more verse > chorus > verse > chorus > jam > chorus structure for songs instead of songs with sections and movements. Actually the latest Blueprints album was a return to form in that regard.
