A better forerunner for Frisco is Irving.
Basically everything Frisco brags about today could have been copy-pasted straight out of Irving Chamber of Commerce's bulletins in the 1980s.

Here is a fun little #NFL and #CityPlanning reminder:
In 2009 the Dallas Cowboy's 30 year lease with the City of Arlington became effective.
2024 is 15 years later.
At the end of the lease, if current trends in professional sports continues, the Dallas Cowboys organization will almost certainly begin shopping cities for a new stadium.
The Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington has reached half of it's effective life span.

Just over heard someone say that Dallas is the Cybertruck of cities.
That's the best analogy I've heard yet.

There are lots of online book stores that aren't Amazon. I normally just google the book and find a seller. Amazon typically isn't even the best price.

It's the ultimate privilege/purity flex.
Like "The consequences won't affect me personally so I don't have to compromise my ideals."

It is no coincidence that the generation that was able to pass the Civil Rights Act, the Environmental Protection Act, over turn segregation, tax the rich, and had the most powerful unions, were also the most religious.
And it's also no coincidence that as religiousness in our society has declined, it's become ever more difficult to get similar big progressive changes.

Taking my daughter out to see a movie.
When I was a kid, this place would be packed with people on a Friday night in May.
... If this is a typical Friday night I do not see how movie theaters as we know can possibly survive another generation.

Yeah, sorry, I don't buy it. I would be surprised if the doctors approved of prescriptions for anything less than 100% of patients. I bet the consultations average less than 5 minutes.

There is another explanation for why the commercial was so bad: It's it's gotten more people talking about it than any other ad I can think of and is probably the most watched, most successful iPad TV ad ever.

2024-05-11 02:52:45

After watching the decidedly poorly thought out #Apple iPad commercial, I kind of suspect it was a set up. It's so bad, it looks intentionally bad.
Like some business guy thought up the idea and told his creative people to do it. His creative people told him it was a bad idea and the guy made them do it anyway, so they said "We are totally going to make that jerk regret this!"

Even 10% is pretty good. A bit lower than I thought we would be 10 years ago, but I'll take it.

Biden should release an official statement saying that he is prepared to act on a #SCOTUS ruling that the president is above the law.
That's all, just that he's prepared to act on it.

Then why isn't DJI getting banned? Or WeChat, or Telegram?

2024-04-20 22:21:01

#TikTok is being banned for one reason: The current crop of politicians didn't know how to use it.
That's it, that's 100% of the reason. It's a potentially very powerful political tool and they didn't know how to use it.

At this point Microsoft has made the complete IBM lifecycle. Sure they are still evil, but they are mostly just a business services company now.
Break up Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook.

Sounds great, assuming the people buying drugs want to participate in the rehab, counseling, medical attention, or job placement.
But what do you do about the people that won't participate in those things?

"In 2021, Oregon became the first state to decriminalize drug possession. However, the state has recently faced a large rise in overdose deaths and had the second-highest rate of substance abuse disorder in the U.S., according to a 2023 audit report. "
Huh... maybe that was a bad idea after all.

When you see people that get their news from TikTok was their fingers at Biden for the Gaza genocide, remember this: China and Russia vetoed the cease fire.

The "housing crisis" was always going to fix itself. There is a belief that the cost of housing always rises, which is clearly absurd. If that were true then it would cost trillions of dollars to live in an ancient city like Rome or Paris. That's obviously not the case. Long term, housing prices generally follow inflation. There was always going to be a correction to the current price bubble.

Let's talk a little bit about what didn't happen today from #SCOTUS.
SCOTUS didn't overturn the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They also did not overturn Bostock v. Clayton County, which provided Title VII protections to #lgbtq people. A business still cannot flat refuse you service just because you are gay.
Today's ruling concerns a really unusual constitutionally confusing situation. It was so unusual that it never actually happened and was completely based entirely on a fictional hypothetical.
