I saw "Choosin' Texas" trending and assumed it was something stupid from Paxton. Sorry Rolling Stone, I have never heard of the artist or the song. (This whole thing is probably just bait, though)

What's your "origin" video game? Most gamers have a lot of favorite games, sure, but there's always one that basically 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you. I'm talking about the game that flipped that little switch in your brain and made into a life-long gamer. So, which game is 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨?

This 💯. Talarico: "The thing about trans youth in sports is the way Donald Trump singlehandedly drove up gas prices by starting a senseless war and it will only get worse if you elect Republicans".

I actually really liked the Fairytale episode of Strange New Worlds. I know there have been a lot of hijinks this year, but this one worked. Pretty Short. Fun. Christina Chong is very good and enjoyable to watch as La'an x 2. Plus Princess Bride references.

After last night, watching the center left and far left snipe at each other, all I can think of is this quote from Tolkien.

A bad deal is a bad deal, even if preferable to the status quo. This mirrors the Suez Crisis: Britain, France, and Israel launched an optional war to seize the canal and topple Nasser. Egypt won, Nasser became a hero, and the invaders lost their Middle Eastern influence.

I do not know why. But I can tell you the bartender in the cantina is Wuher. The band leader is Figrin D'an. The guy with the big sideburns is Bo Shek. The name of the important client I've met at work multiple times? Absolutely no idea.

People who read off numbers in the improper rhythm that we've all agreed upon as a society should be rounded up and locked away. "Credit card number?" "Fourty two. 9. 791. Thirty two. One eleven 621..."

Even if the goal is noble, letting the government define "hate speech" risks turning dissent into a crime. The power to ban words is the power to ban ideas. I never want the government deciding which thoughts are acceptable, or which are not.

Nine ways by which one may share in the guilt of another’s sin: By counsel By command By consent By provocation By praise or flattery By concealment By being a partner in the sin By silence By defending the ill deed. Those Catholics were on to something I think...

From "A Place of Greater Safety", about the time right before the French Revolution. Sounds like it could have been written about today.

Stop saying governments "give" or "take away" rights. Rights aren’t gifts... they exist **before any government**. Officials can recognize or violate them, but treating rights like handouts is how we end up losing them. Words matter! /OldManYellsAtCloud

Nice thing about living in times like these, I always wondered, "What would I do if I were alive during a Revolution like in France?" Now I know the answer is, "Get up and go to work. Maybe buy a shirt on Etsy."

I support the US garment industry. I don't believe in making life harder for immigrants or erecting blanket tariffs. So how can we reshore some of our US garment manufacturing without xenophobia or protectionism? Here's my view. 🧵

A photo of the Southwick manufacturing plant before it closed. The photo shows a bunch of people at various sewing stations. This was located in Massachusetts.

Unsubscribed from all my Southwest Airlines emails. Since there is no longer anything special about them, they will no longer be my goto. I've been flying Southwest exclusively for over THIRTY YEARS (literally, I checked). Crazy to me they are just throwing that away but, $$$$$$ I guess

From the Silmarillion. If I was writing this I'd be all like "that's when people start writing 'em down". But nah, Tolkien pulls out "they pass into song". JRR always manages to drop some incredible turns of phrase every third paragraph.
