Maybe we should stop testing soldiers for morning wood and start testing presidential candidates for world-destroying malignant narcissism.

This is astonishing. Sounds incredible, and I think I truly absorbed the lyrics for the first time ever.

Edge of Tomorrow is a great and underrated flick. May be in my top 5 sci fi with Blade Runner 2049, Matrix, Close Encounters, and Dune 1 (yeah, Denis is in there twice). And yeah, Blunt slays.

I think a Pritzker/AOC ticket would be tough to beat. And after a VP stint, she could run for Prez.

And this is why I don't go to you all for news anymore. He didn't "raise doubts". He "told lies", "offered conspiracy theories with no evidence", and "set a pretext to interfere in the midterms". Your gutless headlines launder tyranny. This is not journalism. Austin deserves better.

It's like when Elf's dad brought in Miles Finch to save the publishing house.

So excited. I've been waiting like 20 years for this to start becoming real.

Local team's ad for new soccer jersey leverages string quartet, poet laureate voiceover, and mad Terrence Malick vibes. Reason #12,734 that I love Austin.

He hasn't articulated a health care plan either. Don't hold your breath.

To the TX GOP: We hate your policies. We hate the bigotry, misogyny, cruelty, greed, lies, and ignorance. We hate that it's a game to you where the only goal is power and self-enrichment, not helping real Texans. We know Rehmet's victory will double your efforts to suppress voting. You will lose.

Crockett and Talarico are both great. I wish one of them were running for governor. We must all rally around the primary winner and bring some humanity, competence, and morality to Texas state government.

What a tribute. Lump-in-my-throat stuff. And also, how do you even do that when you're at ground level?

Bovino is a mid-level fall guy. Sure, we can celebrate the firing of an evil person who was tormenting the citizenry, but nothing changes as long as Miller and POTUS are respectively setting and allowing the obvious ethnic cleansing policy at work here. Miller must go.

A metaphor on an icy day in Austin. Ice can't stop the free flow of H2O. Life and liberty keep circulating.

Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Evil is evil. It comes out of the sewer into the open every few generations, requiring courage and blood sacrifice from freedom-loving, law-abiding citizens to defeat it. What strikes me in this image is that the ICE gestapo fully recognizes its immorality, hiding behind masks to commit its murder.

Your whole legacy is on the line, congressman. Do you think this regime is waiting for the Insurrection Act to trample our rights? It's happening every single hour right now! I'm in your district, don't you dare appease this evil by funding more terror. FIGHT FOR US!!!

In other words, the chickens have come home to roost for our fossil fuel addiction. China invested in the future while we built bigger F-150s and subsidized big oil. Getting our ass kicked in affordable EVs is just the beginning. We've relinquished leadership of the green economy, willingly.

Image of article from the Associated Press entitled "Chinese EVs are making inroads in North America. That worries industry experts."

Thank you for working to protect our community and seeking the appropriate balance between safety and humanity and legal liability.

The government has essentially seceded from the U.S. Constitution as the majority of Americans stand up for it.

Feeling deep gratitude for democratic, freedom-loving nations that recognize the threat of authoritarian regimes and are standing up to them. Those who hunger for moral leadership in the service of the people take hope and inspiration from the courage of allies.

Re: Schumer: It's always interesting and sad that "old guard" dems have so much less historical perspective, situational awareness, and sense of urgency than younger members. Maybe they're just tired. Vote in the next generation, please.

Austin is blue. Our statues are for Willie, Stevie Ray, and Barbara. Our confederate-named schools and streets are renamed. We celebrate an unhoused cross-dresser and mayoral candidate who rode his bike around in a thong. But sure, send us more regressive tech billionaires from Cali. Won't register.

That is a beautiful song and video. Thanks for sharing. Lyrics gave me the same feeling I got first time I heard "Do You Realize?" Life itself is inevitably bittersweet, so I always find that the most touching songs are bittersweet as well.

Can we be more accurate and say "the financial backing of oligarchs and right-wing theocrats" instead of "war chest"?

Nothing high school kids like more than joining a club mandated by a bunch of old white MAGA guys.

Ben D @bfd66.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

Let's be clear. Texas is pretty much everything, so folks can always cherry pick to fit their agenda. That said, our current elected GOP leaders are truly despicable.

Don't forget the Triumphal Arch reconsecrated to commemorate victims of sex trafficking.

Call out racist propaganda to anyone you know who appears susceptible to it. This latest screed has all the elements.

Texas political leadership on the wrong side of history yet again. The Texschluss will fail.

They're trying to turn him into the MLK of the right. Only problem is that he was trying to return us to an age of oppression and discrimination, not lead us to freedom.

From Goth Prom to Square Dance Lessons. Brazil Day to a Japan Festival. The Wizard of Dogz to Skunkfest. And John Cleese, too. The bulletin board at the local sub shop is a treasure.

McCaul was my rep at times. One of those who definitely knew better but wouldn't muster the courage to speak truth and do what was right. So ultimately just another GOP coward who enabled cruelty, corruption, and the weakening of our nation's status in the world.

If only there were a theory that took a critical look at the pervasive and intrinsic racism of white people.

He is landing punches and knocking MAGA off their game. His posts are hilarious and have absolutely undercut DJT's posts. Keep it going.
