I don’t care if the #AI reply suggestion in text messages is was what I would have said, I have to say something different now. 😀

Someone’s being messy at #dfw by leaving these fake stickers in the restroom stalls that lead people to contact Texas Lt. Governor, #danpatrick

Sorrows, sorrows, prayers for the staffer in charge of the phones. πŸ’€

#taylorswift and that orange guy will be at the #superbowl tomorrow.

The orange guy is probably going to pull a Ye and try to get a picture with her.

Ashley Leechin has the chance to do the funniest thing.

Democratic leaders not physically moving the borderline elderly, doesn’t weigh 180 soaking wet, ass hat that Elon put outside to guard the door of the Department of Education is a direct reflection of why we need more politicians who grew up in trailers. #democrats #lowerclass #departmentofeducation

How do I cope with #texaspolitics during Legislation Sessions? LOTS of YouTube, but one video in particular. #texasschoolvouchers #schoolvouchers #gregabbott

Can we chat about how empowering it can make us feel to face collective economic hardship after #poverty trauma? It’s not every day, but if the dopamine, coping skills, and news avoidance line up, I realize:

1) That I’ve had less before and survived, and

2) My comfort food is poor meals

Just the chips? Or the cheese powder too? Doesn’t make sense that he’d raise the price of his own spray tan?

You mean to say that the ultra bureaucratic, over funded, risk adverse, profit obsessed, gatekept bubble in Silicon Valley didn’t breed enough innovation to keep them from having their πŸ‘ handed to them? The only way I could love DeepSeek more is if their logo was an Orca. #sinkthetechbros

You should see the look on some of my leftist friends’ faces when I say that I support non-violent #J6 pardons, but I give it less than 1/2 hour into researching the US prison system for anyone to conclude that that’s not where we send a person hoping they’ll be less radicalized when they get out.

People might bring up Vincent van Gogh as an example of a painter who did great work in spite of, or because of, his suffering. I like to think that van Gogh would have been even more prolific and even greater if he wasn't so restricted by the things tormenting him. I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had.

Let me frame what we are facing in the most American way I know how:

If conservatives are the marksmen of unchecked capitalism, liberals are its ballistic protections.

I posted this before the following news broke out about the Las Vegas attacker being from the same military base. I stand by what I said. Anyone who has worked in a helping profession with vets know the depths of the American Govt’s cruelty towards them and aren’t surprised.

Until we hold the American government accountable for creating such a hostile environment for veterans that they become radicalized monsters, expect even more of this.

Our enemies prey on what our politicians have forgotten.

Such an inspiration. I hope to achieve the level of moral bankruptcy that he cultivated for so long, but this damn basic human empathy keeps getting in the way. /s
