Reminds me of this snippet from Ann Landers.

NECKING AND PETTING
What Are the Limits?
by
Ann Landers

You teens know better than I that a car is no longer just wheels. A car is power. It is the 20th Century river boat. And it can also be a portable bedroom. I am not suggesting that teen-agers who are old enough to have a driver's license should be denied cars-that would be foolish.

Today, cars are a built-in part of our lives. Cars are convenient and they are a wonderful source of pleasure. But a car can also mean Big Trouble. It can mean trouble because it can take you anywhere you want to go—-and heaven knows where that is. Furthermore, a car can provide you with the privacy that makes lovemaking easy. One teen-ager wrote me that he named his convertible "The Mayflower" because so many girls came across in it.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

Massively important story. We’ll see how this goes, but Talarico isn’t within striking range because of some kind of heterodox move to the right. He’s making a strong, clear case for ideas that work better than plainly horrific Republican ones.

In case people are not fully across the Fairford story: What appears to have happened is that five men from London went to a small country village in the middle of the night to siphon fuel for resale. In small country villages, people notice things, especially at 1am. A farmer called the police.

This oddly specific sign is at a local car dealership’s service area and they won’t answer my emails or return my calls about what led up to it, so I guess I’m gonna have to actually go there and ask them like in the olden days.

If I recall the details, the JUDGE is the only reason that man served 60 days, and all but one were pre-conviction. Paxton tried to give him 30 days, and the judge was so outraged that he doubled it.

A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”

houstonchronicle.com

Texas shattered energy demand records this summer. Here's why the grid held up.

Texas repeatedly broke electricity demand records this summer, but ERCOT avoided emergencies as booming solar and battery capacity helped keep the grid stable.

Big Beef in the High Plains of Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma, realizing the leopard indeed will bite their faces, and respectfully asking their guy to stop costing them more money from ICE raids on top what he’s cost them in tariffs:

Media Statement from the Kansas Livestock Association, Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association and Texas Cattle Feeders Association Regarding the Ongoing ICE Operations in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas

September 24, 2026
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

…

Our organizations respect the responsibility of federal agencies to enforce the law. At the same time, cattle producers, feedyards, dairies, livestock markets, processors, and other rural businesses depend on a stable workforce to care for animals, protect food safety, and keep the supply chains operating. Sudden workforce disruptions can create immediate animal-welfare, operational, and economic consequences that extend well beyond an individual business. These ICE operations are having a massive chilling effect on the legal, documented, skilled workers that put beef on the table and keep the cattle supply chain moving. Additionally, these types of disruptions will lead to higher beef prices for consumers.

Reported impacts to our organizations throughout the past few days have been:
• Thousands of fed cattle slated for shipping to processors now delayed, resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue and additional costs.
• Workforce disruptions at numerous supply chain chokepoints such as feedyards, dairies, processors, feed and grain companies, transportation hubs, and community services.

These disruptions come at a time of enhanced focus and pressure on the cattle and beef supply chain. They are a costly and unnecessary impact to cattle producers already suffering from unwelcome political interference to both the markets as well as the physical supply chain. Frustratingly, the harm these actions cause to cattle producers last for days and weeks after such operations conclude.

We urge federal officials to conduct enforcement actions in a lawful, orderly, and transparent manner; respect due process; and communicate clearly with affected employers and communities.
