Today a man tried to convince me that paying taxes is illegal and the Supreme Court ruled it that way. And they just don’t want us to know that it should be the employers paying it on our behalf. I just listened because it’s not worth the argument. But he couldn’t tell me where he found this info.

Same people yelling and whining about self-checkout and automation at Walmart cutting jobs are the same ones cheering on the usage of AI to weed out β€œunnecessary jobs” in our government.

Layoffs everywhere. But not enough jobs because we gotta make cuts. So, what happens to the economy then? They have no aid. But the rich weren’t making enough profit?! We need to cut because they need better returns?! When does it end?! When is enough enough?!?!!

I’d like to make a motion for Texas to add gymnastics and hockey as official sports. I don’t think CDC is on here, so if someone could pass this along. Thanks and Hook β€˜Em.

May I just say….God bless English teachers! Teaching impactful ways to use language to get an emotion or visual or point across that has multiple meanings and creates art and feeling. So much strength and power in words. What a gift.

Now, pay our teachers!

I actually just feel like screaming. This week has been too too much. I can’t believe we’re back in this spot. I can’t believe half the country has been completely duped. I’m incredibly sad and anxious and angry and tired. It’s breaking news after breaking news full of heartbreak.

Donald Trump sounds like a lunatic during his press conference on the Black Hawk military helicopter crash with the American Airlines plane:

"You could have gone up. You could have gone down. You could have gone straight up, straight down. You could have turned."

FFS.

When asked if there was evidence on this being a result of DEI, Trump says it could’ve been.

Astonishing how he is saying the quiet part loud. β€œIf you’re not white, you’re not psychologically superior”

So just curious, why the blame is being placed on ATC and DEI rather than the fact that the helo didn’t follow ATC instructions to go behind the plane?!

What is this press conference?! And when I didn’t think I could be more pissed off than I already was….

Trump blaming ATC and then saying ATC didn’t have good hiring standards before him entering office?! Here comes the DEI blaming…watch this tragedy turn into a push for privatization.

I’m so sick. My fellow crew members and pax lost their lives. I’m so so tired.

I’d argue this is best case scenario, Texas!

I’ll take Clemson’s kicker in the portal, please.

I was built for Texas Football heartbreak. I’ve learned how to move on quick. I’m sad. But at least we’re still in.

Five consecutive losses to Oklahoma State in Austin? I was there.

Losing seven of ten to TCU? I was there.

Losing to Oklahoma 63-21?

SEC wouldn’t let Texas win in their first year. One-sided penalties.

Everyone knew as soon as Arch touched the field there it was going to be a QB run. To make it a TD is all the more sweet.

Very Aggy to play Mo Bamba after a Texas interception. Poooooor Aggy. πŸ˜‚

Can anyone tell me if Ted Cruz is wearing maroon? Because I will happily let him be at this game so long as he never dons the burnt orange. Greg Abbott is enough disgust.

I would like to thank our dear rivals, the Sooners, for actually pulling off a clutch win. And I’d also like to acknowledge A&M for doing what Aggies do best. Cant wait for next weekend!

I used Twitter predominantly as a means for current events and live sports tweets. It was highly suggested back in journalism school. I hadn’t realized how much I used it, until I left. So happy to be here!
