You have provided useful context. I was scrolling to see if someone pointed this out. It’s a solid gesture considering that he really does need to endear himself to anyone who would’ve preferred Crockett. And we know what would happen if any MAGA chud had shown up there.

Torture-heavy "24" was actually a pretty damn liberal TV show
And nicer to Muslims than it usually gets credit for.

The plan to cater to Texas with oil enrichment is working. The only question is whether they’ll be able to kill two birds with one stone by hurting libs in CA, à la Enron and Gray Davis back in the day.

I’m still mad that they went 0-13 against the Braves in their expansion year and the Giants missed the playoffs with a dazzling 103-win team. Effing Rockies stupid team

I’ve shared this view with a few devotees of high-level. They don’t take it as an endorsement of girls’ abilities. They take it as a dig at something they love. I’ve listened and tried to learn but I still don’t understand. We don’t tell excellent female tennis players to go to a pickleball court.

I know there must be reasons in the history I haven’t read into, but I’ve never understood why boys and girls play the same baseball until a time when we tell some of them to take a bigger ball to a smaller field. There would’ve been a female big leaguer by now.

Bastards had the gall to oust a dazzling 103-win Giants team (Clark-Kent-Bonds) on the last day of the season and then not even make it into the World Series. 1993.

I think it was the Fallout 4 game that had some good in-game footage that was meant to look like the house with perpetual robot appliances. Sounds like her class is cool.

You guys can be as racist as you want…you can even be as racist as Bill Buckley was…the MAGA chuds are never coming back to you. You can probably make everyone hate you if you keep at it, tho.

The high school textbooks for years have put a thumb on the scale to endorse Ford’s decision as a net positive, and I hope the post-Trump ones stop doing that. We need for the POTUS to think it’s possible to be locked up.

First time I was a judge for HS debate I watched over and over how only stage presence mattered…no accounting for logic or factual accuracy. Judges typically lacked knowledge of the subject to know BS, and assertive teens knew it. I have a pet theory that these teens end up with a lot of influence.

It makes Texans happy to imagine that what’s great for their beloved oil companies is also bad for ordinary people in wicked liberal California. Never forget Enron.

Maybe 20 years ago I heard a Rice history prof say that S. Carolina had the highest per-capita income in the world (among people considered citizens, it was understood) and that fact about motivation behind secession has always seemed about as explanatory as any other fact about what caused the war.

I was looking to see if someone pointed this out. Something Cruz might know is that Texas A&M people deliberately refer to the Austin school as “Texas University,” phrasing a UT person would not use.

It seems like an elected official’s days could be really interesting and gratifying if that’s what he wants from it. Using power helpfully, having fun, what a feedback loop.

I’m in the Dallas freeway snarl right now headed for Globe Life Field, wondering how or if the Rangers nod to this event in the ballpark. As a Giants fan, I hope I get to see TX make 5 errors like they did last night!

They’re shitheads but it’s not true that they had “nothing to lose.” People’s peer relationships matter in their lives. They’re not going to follow up career disappointments with choices that further alienate them from the chuds in their social circles.

Obviously not the phrasing one would hope to see today, but I doubt that a similar poster could be made for Ike or Hoover. Mr. President, do you ever reflect on 1960 and your approach to Dr. King? They learn in school that Jack was willing to meet with him and you weren’t.

So, essentially, Caro says that seven years before he signed the 1964 CRA with Dr. King by his side, LBJ was on the segregationist side enough that he maneuvered to prevent a similar law from being enacted? I want to make sure I understand the claim.

I sought out this account because this article was forwarded to me on Facebook. I can’t remember a more informative or articulate piece of writing about AP testing. Thank you for this excellent work.
