The next time you see someone saying that “Texas gets what they vote for” yada yada yada, tell them about Tarrant County losing 92! polling places today. Or that 4.8 million Texans voted for Kamala, more people than the total population of 20 states.

Ok, @mapquest.com, let’s see what your game is like! Just downloaded MQ and deleted the other map app for a trial period. Fun fact: I last used MQ working a summer job at AAA as a special supplemental to the TripTiks we hand stamped with detours and construction.

If you’ve narrated a nature & conservation documentary titled #DeepInTheHeart and you’re a famous actor, you have a responsibility, obligation even, to speak up against the destruction happening in the Big Bend region. #MatthewMcConaughey #EthanHawke

Ethan Hawke has a nature doc out Sept. 25 “Deep in the Heart 2: Texas Rivers.” He has an obligation to use his platform NOW to speak out against the destruction happening in Big Bend, or his film will deserve to flop. Please share if you have evidence of him speaking up. www.msn.com/en-us/entert...

Currently reading A Flower Traveled in my Blood by Haley Cohen Gilliland about Los Desaparecidos in Argentina, which I’m finding incredibly relevant today. 5 ⭐️

I think it’s really cool that 55 countries hate private equity so much they said “fuck off, FIFA, if you sell the World Cup we’re starting our own tournament”

If they can lie about the mortality of a US senator and get away with it they can lie about the results of an election and get away with it. Why don’t more Americans grasp this simple concept?

Ansari: There is no doubt in my mind that much of this war is about profiting the Trump family and Trump’s orbit. 18 U.S. service members have been killed. Thousands of Iranian civilians have been killed. Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. is making billions of dollars.

Thought I got a reasonable deal on ice cream only to realize that it was 1.5 quart (0.375 gallons) instead of the standard 1/2 gallon. Cans of diced tomatoes were $.10 higher but the size shrank from 12 oz to 10 oz cans. French bread loaf went from $1.00 to $1.25. Watch for shrinkflation.

Tonight at least the raccoon came at more of a reasonable hour—but brought along three cuter copies. They have mistaken my hummingbird feeders for Kool-aid dispensers. This one got left behind.

Politicians usually show up at the border to demonize & fear-monger. We just drove 750 miles from El Paso to the Valley to show off the beauty & potential of our border communities. We’re showing up for Texans along the border who've been left behind by both political parties.

A papaya smoothie is a delicious way to ease your parasitic diarrhea-fueled anxiety. Be sure to include the seeds (in small doses because they do contain small amounts of cyanide). -papaya with seeds Some possible ingredients: -mango -frozen banana -ginger -turmeric -plain yogurt -carrot -ice

The explosive diarrhea epidemic is more than an inconvenience for me. I’m a diabetic and have trouble finding foods that don’t spike my blood sugar so I rely on fresh produce. Mostly salad. I just want a functioning government and a CDC and FDA and NIH.

For those who continue to slander Texans and discount ALL of us because we live in a voter-suppressed, gerrymandered red for 30 years state: 4.8 MILLION Texans voted for Kamala Harris for President in 2024. May I present “states with population < 4.8 million”:

Not sure if anyone's noticed, but democratic socialists aren't racking up primary wins because the base has suddenly embraced the tenets and ideology of Democratic Socialism. They're winning because leftist candidates are the only ones who understand the assignment: Defeat the enemy. Deliver goods.

The Democratic Party's approval rating is in the toilet, and the main reason is voters see Dem leaders and prominent members acting like things are basically okay instead of fighting like there's an emergency. Slot "my friend Lindsey Graham, so funny, how great to work with him" comments into that.

Finding it difficult to take UEFA seriously when the current very corrupt President of FIFA was the UEFA General Secretary and was fully backed by UEFA in the 2016 election. Incidentally, the UEFA President in 2016 was suspended by FIFA for corruption and could not run for FIFA president.

Trump made 21,000 stock trades so far. Biden made 13 his entire presidency. Obama only owned index funds and T-notes. Bush and Clinton put everything in a blind trust. They all respected being POTUS and wanted to avoid even the appearance of a conflict. Trump is getting filthy rich at our expense.
