Wait, Alexander Acosta is on the board? The former US Secretary of Labor ? The guy who let Epstein go in Florida?

I wonder why they built the Alamo in the 1st place? What were those Spanish missionaries trying to do In building all those missions in San Antonio (Way before Davy Crockett got there)? I wonder what the identity of the people indigenous to the area of the mission was? Does that count as Tx History?

Overeager staffers come and go, but being thought you look like Gosar-Dude, that’s forever

(And not even close in looks-says more about the person asking the question more than your current hair style)

Anna Lapwood is doing something Winston Churchill never did-visiting Texas! Her 2 city Texas tour is all sold out and she’s bringing the power and passion of her music to her performances in the same way the PM used to awe audiences with his words. #annalapwood #texas #classical #organ

60 years after the Beatles first played in Dallas, Anna Lapwood is leading a 2nd English Invasion-this time led by the power of the Pipe Organ and her Masterful Playing and Arrangement. Both legs of her Texas Tour are sold out. She is classical music’s bomb diggity! #annalapwood #texas #beatles

Dear #Texas, we are so lucky! 2 shows of Anna Lapwood are inbound! She absolutely is the πŸ’£!!! And she has been slaying all summer-2 packed shows at the Koln Cathedral (and SRO in the streets outside); Overnite Proms, and killing it at the Royal Albert every chance she gets. #dallas #collegestation

This 1790 print might be the first recorded incident to accurately capture the reactions of wargamers in the middle of play.

Wait..you buried the lede. Your child held on to something about you for 15 years and wanted to show it to you before she left home. Man, I’m crying like when they break out β€œSunrise, Sunset” in Fiddler and I realize I’m the old man

When people tell you correctly that the Texas Senate is full of insufferable, entitled, craven, self centered, stupid jackasses who are out of touch with the common man, remember that French politicians have been doing it better, more in style, and for so much longer. #txlege #theFrenchpsst

I can’t tell you how much it hurts me that my younger staff will never know about the β€œLabor Day of Love”, or wondering if Dean and Frank were going to turn up, or running a bake sale and putting the money in the boot of a fireman standing in the middle of a busy intersection. #txlege #mda

In One of TV's Best Episodes of the Year, 'Pachinko' Uncovers a Harrowing History Star Lee Minho and show-runner Soo Hugh take us inside remaking the Great Kantō Earthquake.

The episode of Pachinko that shows the effects and aftermath of the earthquake is an amazing piece of art www.esquire.com/entertainmen...

This is the perfect analogy of #txlege ,
Except in #txlege, the millionaires makes the children (women, the poor, the elderly etc.) apologizes for getting in their way.

Hedda Hopper was wife #5. Knowing the shy gossip columnist she would become, it is unlikely she thought much of this union.

They weren’t done with newspaper headlines. In 1945, the then 72 year old millionaire sought to divorce his child bride, charging desertion and infidelity. He died in 1948. She appears to have passed away in the early 1950’s

3rd, someone should totally photoshop military figures in Hawaiian shirts-Clausewitz in something super floral; maybe he and the missus in matching shirts; the surrender of Appomattox with the general officers only rocking full hawaiian (board shorts and sunglasses)

1st, you are absolutely rockin’ that shirt;
2nd, everyone should have a thinking vibe hoody or shirt that they can throw on when the stuff is going down-it’s not scientific but I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t carry around a talisman of hard times and imaginative thinking

Should wearing a Hawaiian shirt to a wargames be known as Bae-ing or Brown-ing? what type of outfit would be known as β€œgoing Full Bae”? Maybe we need a article β€œHistory of Hawaiian Shirts by Participants in Military Simulations” @sebastianbae.bsky.social @iantb.bsky.social @guws.bsky.social

The thought that Scott Brister (or any 15th COA judges) appointed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott is β€œBeto-Lovin” is hysterical.

They may be writing them, but they ain’t submitting them to comm coordinator’s office. The house rules set up the comm. Chair & the author as the circuit breakers and a guarantors of some semblance of truth in committee reports. You don’t have to publish lobby bullshit. #txlege
