Deep in the heart of Texas.

This reminds me that it’s time once again for my annual listening to @theincomparable.com ep #173, “Santa-Based Christmas”!

Aunt Jemima comin’ for you.

Trump ally Troy Nels becomes sixth Texas Republican to retire from Congress The three-term representative had served since 2021.

Wow. I didn’t expect to be vindicated quite so quickly.

"Soon after Nehls' announcement, his twin brother Trever announced his bid for the House seat."

Outstanding news (I live in his district). Unfortunately, if I were a betting man I’d lay money one of his brothers will run for the seat, and probably win.

they'd just invented Socialism

Ooh. Didn't think of that. The Donald J. Trump Reflecting Pavilion and Event Space.

I'm glad I don't have the volume up. I don't want to hear Donald Trump say the word "smoothie."

Shorter version: If you’re claiming to write about the rise of MAGA and @matthewdtaylor.bsky.social is not in your bibliography, you are missing so much.

This is just in the door after hearing @lkatfield.bsky.social on @bradleyonishi.bsky.social ’s essential SWAJ, and I am already loving it.

I’ve read a lot of “how did we get here” books in the last few years, and the test for me is, does the author see and understand the NAR? Laura Field does!

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university.

What's interesting here is that Trump keeps calling it the Democrat Shutdown and the polling showed that people didn't believe it and blamed the Rs, BUT Chuck folding now and getting nothing makes it look like this all WAS a Dem shutdown for no reason at all. Trump wins again because of Schumer

I can’t have been the only person who saw the name of this movie and hoped it was a “crossover event” in which Sunny, M.K., Bajie, my dear Lydia, The Widow, and the rest of the “Into the Badlands” crew (most of whom, admittedly, died in S3) would reunite to save the planet?

And also to Eleanor Roosevelt, who was so committed to the principle that she married someone with the same surname.

Okay, I’m out.

To quote the then-Prince of Wales in similar circumstances, Trump’s mar-a-lago-ization of the White House will be “a monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much-loved and elegant friend."

Impressive how they go from “one author has suggested Charles may be attempting” in the copy to “is planning” in the headline.

In a word, yes.

That time Donald Trump destroyed historic art to cut construction costs "They fell to the floor and shattered in a million pieces."

Trump has a long history of not giving a damn about historic or artistic preservation.

Seems unfair to compare anyone to Cary Grant, but Hegseth’s socks and shoes are all a mess.
