Dedicated to studying Houston as it existed before automobiles. Ask me about 19th-c hotels, restaurants, coffee houses, or boardinghouses.
You sound like MAGA. Sore loser who cannot face the facts.

We elected Orangeface. Twice.

Fortunately, JR's athletic achievements are common knowledge now. It's more remarkable that he excelled even in the face of persistent abuse.

I am so tired of the "Space City" moniker. NASA has such a small impact on the local and regional economy. It could be worse, though. It could be Oil & Gas City. A sector that has a bigger impact than NASA and is even cooler is the Texas Medical Center. We should figure out a way to feature that.

It's land speculators who drive state and regional transportation policy. I am hoping that someone does historical research on the real estate investments of members of the Texas Transportation Commission. Bob Lanier and Ned Holmes are two names that come to mind.

Turner was a pleasant surprise on active transportation. After reading about his entreaties and messaging to the Transportation Advocacy Group and his vow to fix all the potholes, I was afraid he would be a Road Warrior. He was the opposite.

Amazon created their own delivery service of contract drivers. Amazon is the Uber of delivery services. UPS needs to be efficient because they manage their own fleets and they have union wages to pay. I have seen three Amazon vans on my street stopped at once. Inefficient!

It's not hubris. It's evidence based.

Cabrito (barbequed goat) is a popular dish in Northern Mexico, described as "cabrito en birria" (goat with a goat consomme). I have ordered birria tacos and I love them, but I didn't understand what they were. I asked and I was told that the meat was beef and it was served with a consomme.

Where is the counterfactual? Right or wrong, these are explanations for characteristics of MAGA voters, not for characteristics of MAGA leadership.

Just as with basketball and hockey, we should also count assists.

I will finish reading the linked article later, but thanks for sharing and thanks for the reminder about mn streets. I love to see people researching and writing about their cities and neighborhoods. You just made my day.

I wonder about the pros and cons of NH-based churches as opposed to people shopping several geographically distant churches in search of a fit in terms of affinity. Communities of place instead of communities of interest. I have no firm thoughts about this.

We told them about Trump's lack of security for his whole first term, and MAGA did not even bother to offer a shrug.
