Every morning commute is like this. Daily episode of Final Destination. TXDOT is going to kill as many people as it takes to get just one more lane, bro

TXDOT has basically made I-35 as unsafe as possible in Austin in order to ram through a highway expansion and every truck in Texas seems to be taking this opportunity to drive through with oversize loads. 2 of them appear to have collided today and completely shut down I-35 South during rush hour

Southwest Airlines, unfortunately, still does that. It's especially fun when the mobile version is missing features that you often need from the desktop site but they simply refuse to let you see them on a phone

This was responding to a specific line from Trump, he has been very outspoken against sending ANYONE to gulags

You are clearly not ready or able to handle what politics has become. Resign and let someone who is actually willing to fight take the reins

Truly tremendous work from The Onion since their resurgence/revival

Not helpful engagement here

Why did the name plate get blanked out in this gif 🤔

But hey on the other hand their sci-fi programming absolutely rips

(begrudgingly, my eye twitching, with no motivation) New York, greatest city on earth baby

I think this is the second Martin-signed memo where I've seen this but does anyone know why he crosses out the names of the people it's addressed to and then rewrites them by hand?

"We 4 You"

Based on their subreddit I'm getting the impression that a significant amount of them are not

Is this because of the changes they made to let them send out those email blasts about the buyouts and stuff?

Feels like you could have picked a better quote here based on that insane press conference

What. Two days after the judge already responded? What are we doing here

We're just on here saying anything now I guess

But breweries are great because they are generally universally "kid friendly". Tons of the ones in Austin have playgrounds or other activities and generally fill that "casual hangout spot" niche

Austin (and presumably Texas as a whole) is bizarre because it appears to be up to the owner. Some bars that are basically glorified restaurants (Revelry) insist on 21+ at all times (even during the day). Some complete dive bars with no food options (Yellow Jacket) will let kids in all the time.

I've seen people post stuff like this before, about how backwards the US is because we don't seem to allow playgrounds next to bars. But....we do....here in Austin for example we have those all over the place. There's a ton of breweries and other venues with built-in playgrounds. And it's awesome.

Guy who just signed his reenlistment papers:

There's really no universal masking anywhere in the world right now is there? Are you saying like 2020-level mandatory masks anywhere? I just don't think there's any country that would fit that requirement anymore right?

The best part about this is how mad it's making the Musk fanboys

No Elon fan but this is a longstanding joke that far precedes him; I'm assuming he took it from when Kerbal Space Program made it popular, and it was a joke among rocket scientists/engineers (and others) well before that

Since the sidewalk nearby actually looks decently wide, I am assuming that walkway is actually mean for people getting into and out of cars that are parked in those spaces? To avoid accidentally dooring cyclists? If the parking *must* be there then that's kind of nice to have i guess

Ah at least an insane "touch grass" quality post, finally Bluesky has become a worthy successor

Dr. Seuss naming standards

I would say that is a perfect summary of both why RFK's pick seems to be popular even among non-Trump voters, and why Polis is showing support for his policies.

This exact "rebuttal" is exactly the type of response that I am guessing Polis is trying to avoid with his statement.

Anecdotally, I have seen a surprisingly large number of friends who absolutely did not support Trump but have posted in favor of RFK coming in, specifically focusing on the "anti-chemical" idea. I think Polis is thinking that he doesn't want Democrats to be the "pro-chemical" party in voters' minds
