Oh hey, surprise Mount Bonnell!

Exactly that. There’s a big difference between greasing the wheels to make favorable policies happen and handing some conspiracy-nut traitor a breaker bar to disassemble the whole damn thing, take the wheels off and yeet them off a cliff.

Aw, man. I will always remember Riley as the de facto welcome wagon at the Gawker/vision home office, hanging around the door and totally chill about letting us out-of-town types in.

Have you farted today? Just let all the hot air out. Release it. Feel relief.

Yeah. We’ve got a couple decent independent stations out of Austin— KUTX being the main one with KVRX/KOOP also playing some good, unexpected stuff. I’m still a big fan of just seeing what’s on the FM band locally when I travel somewhere. It’s a whole vibe. You get out into the middle of nowhere here and there’ll be Read more

This is awesome. I need to switch over to AM when I’m out there, I guess.

I have finally reached the almost-middle of nowhere. yes. yes. YES. GOOD.”

Yeah. The second Mike mentioned AM in his response, all I could think of were the hella angry Rush Limbaughs and Sons of Limbaughs who’ve taken up his brainworms’d torch on the airwaves. :( I miss fun kooks who didn’t turn every political discussion into a toxic angry cesspool where anyone who disagrees in the Read more

My 1971 VW 411 just passed its state inspection (albeit the shortened version for classic cars) without functional reverse lights. They’re nice to have, but I don’t know if others care about them as much as we think! Read more

RAPH. The Porsche Cayenne is a great egg and I love them so, so much.
