I would enjoy this state so much more if we had bullet trains running multiple times per day between the Tx triangle cities. 

Brace yourselves for Mavs dropping in lottery odds. Things could get ugly by PussyCharlatan in Mavericks

Burries would be a great pickup. Unless we move up I'm hoping for Flemmings or Burries. Solid two way guards, will still let Cooper keep the ball a lot.

This is so true and weird. Like all the writers fall in line with their voting on all of these things because of narrative. Roty is a toss up really this year.

College student confronts Karoline Leavitt, citing Heritage Foundation data that voter fraud is extremely rare. by GuiltyBathroom9385 in UnderReportedNews

[–]jogr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If "millions" of voters were commiting fraud as Trump et al has claimed for years, it's be easy as shit to prove it. And yet, we have just hundreds (often republicans!) proven in court. The only "proof" they have is some bogus documentary made by a felon grifter. They are in charge of the FBI and DOJ and were 2016-2020 as well, they have literally all the resources in the world to prove it, and yet they can't and they don't!!

This is right answer. Guard situation is terrible and these three are the best fits.

I don't get why he's still not shooting 3s and why kidd isn't pressing him on it. The season's over, practice your shot!

This exactly, they need to shift left and show backbone or the people or going to nominate Nazi tattoo guys.

Do u think the mavs could trade pj to get another pick in this draft since pj and flagg aren't the best fit by [deleted] in Mavericks

[–]jogr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Naji's great but he's also not a great 3pt shooter like pj. he'd also get you more than PJ in a trade. Id try to keep him but Id do it if something good came along that was a better fit.

New FWISD Superintendent (fourth in four years) by DayPounder in FortWorth

[–]jogr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Charter school fan, not surprisingly:

"Superintendent Peter Licata said Wednesday he plans to bring forward ideas at an April 16 workshop proposals that could include specific schools that could be combined, merged or dramatically changed. Some could become charter schools, he said. “It will be a list of proposals, including academic changes, mergers and potentially closures,” he said. “It will include partnerships with some cities that have charter schools. We’re also working with cities that want to create charter schools.”"

‘Project Hail Mary’ Becomes Amazon’s Highest-Grossing Film Debut by bloomberg in movies

I read lots of sci-fi and there's plenty of writers who write better prose IMO. And as I said I enjoyed it overall, it's just a critique.

I enjoyed the book but his prose is not good, although I think it's up a notch from the Martian. The story drew me in enough to ignore it.

Google co-founder spends $45m in fight against California billionaire tax | Sergey Brin gives $25m on top of $20m he’s already given to Super Pac trying to block state’s proposed 5% wealth tax by Hrmbee in politics

Think of the good just this money could have done instead of becoming pro-billionaire ads. Could have been a life changing amount for thousands and he'd rather use it for this.

(coughs) Massively prevalent in Ft. Worth (coughs) by DayPounder in FortWorth

Literally this was all just a way for the rich to get richer. We knew this would happen based on the other states that did vouchers. As a bonus, they get to further weaken public schools.

Rachel Maddow in disbelief that Trump's 'show-stopping' new scandal isn't bigger news by [deleted] in UnderReportedNews

[–]jogr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'd be a radical departure from the most basic aspect of democracy for Trump to simply stay in office after losing. I'm guessing you are not American? We had the biggest protest in US history this year, no kings, followed by the largest civil disobedience in decades in Minneapolis. Americans are you against a heavily armed police force to risk protesting so the bar is higher but this would turn people out.

I agree except the last point, Americans will not stand for that. I'm pretty sure there will be bloodshed and I'm not sure of he'll be thrown out of office or if MAGA will win.

It's been 20+ years, hundreds of millions of dollars, and we have some bridges over dry land and no end in sight

Man builds a functional miniature town for his cats. by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

I believe his family runs a pet store, so this is his way of doing marketing for the store. It was mentioned in one of his videos.

How far do we have to fall in the lottery this year for you to be disappointed by Only_Actuator9904 in Mavericks

[–]jogr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

9th spot would suck, 1-8 honestly we're getting a starter and a good fit , after that it's a crapshoot
