re: FL Veteran Fatally Shot in Broad Daylight Ambush During Dispute Over Parking Spot

I refuse to watch shooting videos like this, so I haven't seen it.
But if he still advanced on her while having a gun pointed at him, that certainly seems at least somewhat scary.
I'm not commenting on the legal side.
But I will say, I have seen a handful of "situations" in person in my life in which a white person DID NOT just casually back down from an aggressive black person...and the general reaction of the black person in those situations was to de-escalate out of fear. (Basically, "no tellin' what this crazy arse white boy might do", since they are so unused to seeing it.)

S2 Capital investors get zeroed out - in multifamily!
Posted by Big Scrub TX on 7/2/26 at 2:02 pm
This is just hard to do:
Seems like you'd have to try hard to actually return zero capital to investors in apartments. Congrats on the effort, I guess?

S2 Capital is dissolving its first multifamily fund with no capital returns – the same news recently relayed to investors in the firm’s real estate investment trust.
A July 1 letter from founder Scott Everett that was shared with The Real Deal said the $400 million valued-add fund’s limited partners and preferred equity investors will receive “no return of capital.” S2 closed its first fund in September 2022 after launching earlier that year with a goal of $250 million. It closed its second multifamily fund last summer, raising $373 million.

Could you imagine the atmosphere if the national team played in a city known for actually embracing America and our mutual observance of freedom? Quit playing in these cities that routinely get taken over by Mexican fans in home US-Mexican friendlies. San Fran and Seattle, Boston all hate what we are and are embarrassed by our flag. frick em.
Communal singing is a national balm

I was at the US/Aussie match when we sang Country Roads along with some other songs as an entire stadium. Goose bumps.
But way more than that - I can't remember ever a US crowd so lustily singing the National Anthem. Usually, the Euros put us to shame on such matters.
Seriously. Singing in groups is good for the soul. Necessary, I would say.
And another thing: we just watched a match in the Bay Area with a mostly black team. Not only did I not see anyone "taking a knee". Rather, I saw the crowd and the TEAM singing those glorious lyrics together.

My only slight complaint was the entrance is slightly awkward. It's sort of hard to explain, but it's a little bit of a cluster and not obvious where to go.

Try to bring some with you if you have some. If not, just get some at an ATM soon after arriving and never think about it again. It's your vacation after all!

I remember it being hot in 2023.
Also, way more people die globally due to cold than to hot.
re: The Wow! Signal - New Muse album
Posted by Big Scrub TX on 6/30/26 at 5:40 pm to Macintosh
I think it's awesome. It's like they've perfectly mixed the Simulation Theory vibe to the older style songwriting. It sounds very "Musey".
One of the songs has some parts that sound almost like Pantera.
But definitely more of a vibe/feel based thing than the ultra-crisp songwriting of the glory period (Black holes, The Resistance, The 2nd Law).
