We’re a step away from them watering crops with Brawndo because some AI bot found Idiocracy.

Looool. I’m a Texas vegetarian and even I know what a steer is. But the fear that Talarico still won’t win despite of Paxton’s corruption and ineptitude is real down here.

We did that math. I was a public school teacher. My paycheck would not cover daycare for our kids. My husband‘s salary and benefits were better so I left the workforce and stayed home with them.

Wow! I drive through some conservative neighborhoods taking my kid to school and I haven’t seen one. One house that had a Team Cornyn sign before the primary runoff now has a Talarico sign.

I’m writing a paper for graduate school this week and we can’t use any research articles older than 10 years. I was reading a great article from about 2009 and felt really old when I realized that was longer than 10 years ago and I couldn’t use it. 🤣🤦‍♀️

Teachers: "Please help us get AI out of schools, it's ruining education!" Students: "Please don't make us use AI, it's ruining our lives!" Politicians: "We hear you and we want to help you harness the power of AI." #NihilismAndTechnology

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

We live in a world where there are teddy bears ready to explain to toddlers how to engage in consensual sadomasochistic cutting, but we're banning corrupting books about heavy topics like how Cindy has two dads and that's okay.

I can’t share the video but the parent of one of my students (I do private intensive dyslexia intervention for free) sent me a video of the student reading a book for the first time - it was amazing. The child’s previous school said the child had “too many issues” and could not be taught to read.

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats. The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

Since the injunction is only against the school districts named in the complaint - what is the process by which it can be blocked state-wide? When the judge makes a ruling in this case - will it still only affect those districts?

I went to the same middle school as Amy Ayers. They planted a tree for her in the courtyard and I walked by it every day. Her mom came and talked to us a few years later, I think. I was scared to get a job as a teen because I thought it might happen to me. It made a huge impact on my teenage years.

I do it at the end of individual dyslexia therapy for kids. They pick a book and spend a good 5 minutes relaxing while I read. Today in sessions I read Flora and Ulysses, Shiloh, The Bletchley Riddle, and I Survived the Great Molasses Flood. I imagine it would be delightful in college too!

The floods ripped through Texas on July 4. On July 5, FEMA received 3000 calls from survivors. 1% were unanswered. That night, Trump/Noem fired the people who answer the calls. On July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls. 65% unanswered. July 7: 85%. Sick.

I, as an African-American, do not care how Zohran Kwame Mamdani identifies. But I do care about how Blackness is such a proprietary category for white people that their surveillance of us becomes such an internecine battle.

The fact that a Trump voter wants me to know that they did not vote for mass deportations is not interesting to me. What is interesting to me is what they plan to do about mass deportations, and I hope the answer isn't "I plan to ask you to assure me that I'm a good person."

Been reading this book this week and it’s been very interesting. I’m in my first month as a dyslexia therapist and when kids say “But why do people do it this way?” I like to be able to give an answer. I’ve been going around saying ComMENdable like a vulgar peasant my whole life apparently. 🤣🤣

Just a perfect sign of Schumer's incompetence. As the OP notes, there's no need to do this. The law is already on Democrats' side. And when this bill inevitably fails in a GOP-led Congress, it will then seem to many like the Qatari gift is perfectly legal. Congress didn't outlaw it, right?

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

"No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State." Nothing in there says there has to be an obvious quid pro quo. Utter bullshit.
