I think Timothy Olyphant should just get it over with and run for sheriff somewhere.

if you don’t keep up with the youth i want you to know they’ve renamed “tramp stamps” to “cake toppers” which feels like the first advancement for feminism in a long time

At some point someone should do a public reminder of all the batshit crazy behavior Paxton was exhibiting surrounding Nate Paul.

You've somehow captured Miller's essence to an unsettling degree. It's upsetting. I may call in sick today.

Not gonna lie. I calculated how much literal energy that would require and it was a definite no go. That's too much in 2026. And no one has seen that movie in 30 years. I'll be screaming IT'S A BIT all the way to jail.

So, my house is at a pretty busy intersection. A stop light one house away. Traffic pretty heavy right now. I've let some Turk's Caps over grow the sidewalk. Now, hear me out... As a bit... As a BIT!!!! Should I recreate the Joan Crawford Mommy Dearest Box Office Poison scene?

The men in my life do not share the dread I have in anticipation of the midterms. Especially if Texas flips. If we start to break free, dudes en mass are going to lose their shit family annihilation style. Hope I'm wrong. Maybe they're not as radical and abusive as I believe.

There’s no A.I. “literacy”. There is only power, to either rebuild or eradicate commonly shared knowledge production. They haz it. Remains to be seen if we haz some too.

Gross. I just got a very manipulative text from Stacy Abrahams. Really personal and familiar language. This is how old people get their bank accounts drained by democrats. We need a massive political realignment like yesterday.

There's footage somewhere of Paxton saying that if he hadn't thrown out votes in Harris County in 2020, Texas would have flipped. It was the drive through votes during the pandemic. He did it once and it worked.

I think I fear a mini Jan6 at the Capitol. I don't think RWers (and especially RW LEOs) will accept a turnover. I think the last 15 years they've decided to take it all and NEVER concede again.

Why do I feel dread? Good chance it's just because I believe only bad things can happen in Texas? Like Lucy is holding the football, and Charlie Brown is about to finally kick it, turns out the football is a nuke.

people get intimidated by the social belief of "supporting the arts" as like donating $5,000,000 for a new wing at a museum or hosting some gala it's not. 10% of our audience throwing us $1.00 a month would literally be *life-changing* money most artists are in the same boat.

It’s extremely down to the wire here. If you know of a FOIA attorney in Idaho, please connect us. The Boise airport has told me they do not have any video of an ICE detainment that I know for a fact happened.

This was a couple of years ago at Palmetto State Park. Weird little out of place ecosystem down there. It was neat.
Photo taken from the boardwalk through a palmetto swamp. Water has flooded the area and those little plants are so thick it looks entirely bright green. Palmetto fronds are in the foreground coming out of the water. Taller trees in the background. Close up of the surface of the water with millions of little green plants. There's a break in the green where the water looks black.
