Rosenthal remains the obvious choice for Texas Railroad Commission | Endorsement
Key Republicans have instructed voters to reject their own party's nominee for railroad commissioner. Now Texas voters need to finish the job, writes the Houston Chronicle editorial board.

His opponent in the race for a spot on the Railroad Commission is Jon Rosenthal, a whip-smart public servant who practically exudes decency. jonrosenthaltx.com

This is Pamela Griffin. Back then, Black people weren't allowed to buy city land so her family settled outside, next to the farmer. Seeing them play baseball, the farmer told them he'd donate his land for a park—and put it in a deed. The city still sold it. www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

Strongly disagree with this move. The RRFS is not ready for prime time. The NAM has value in corners of the universe. The HREF is a phenomenal model. This is not smart IMO.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

One court decision, two different headlines. Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?
US court allows ICE to arrest and pepper-spray peaceful protestors in Minnesota Appeals Court Stays Restrictions on Federal Tactics in Minnesota
The Eighth Circuit granted the Trump administration’s request to block, at least for now, a lower court’s injunction limiting how federal agents interact with protesters in the state.

I cosign every single word of this anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...
I do understand: you want permission. There’s a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don’t look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn’t notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don’t need me to believe it’s useful, you just want me to be polite about it.

But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

Is there a term for the tendency on social media to end a post with a self-conscious-seeming phrase that doesn't add meaning but maybe serves as a sort of punctuation? Thank you for coming to my TED talk. I said what I said. I will not be taking questions at this time. That's it. That's the post.

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

The idea that world events and life-or-death political decisions should turn on what one elderly US citizen sees on a TV sounds like the premise for a 1970s dystopian satire written by the most hysterical Marxist novelist seeking to magnify the moral rot and decadence of a declining American empire…
