The Letterman YouTube channel does a great job with posting clips from his shows. They're often quicker than the news when it comes to posting clips from guests/performers who have just died.

My super modern regulatory plan is that any entity named for a thing from Tolkien has to publicly explain why Tolkien wouldn’t immediately throw it into Mount Doom

I couldn’t stand in him in the state senate, hated how he sold out the party during the early-00s Dem boycott over gerrymandering, and told everyone I could not to trust him. But it wasn’t enough.

Late to the game, gave into Abbott, told the gay community it needed to respect the homophobes to prove Houston is really diverse, and thinks Montrose complaining too much about it.

Good story from @kissphoria.bsky.social on Mayor Whitmire's empty words to City Council today.

The Mayor also said it is important to respect and understand those who object to the rainbow crosswalks and that the city will not fight to keep those crosswalks.

I loved Emergency as a kid, and part of the reason was Kevin Tighe. I've really enjoyed his late career resurgence and I love this interview and the appreciation he's getting.

The city of Houston needs more leaders like @abbiekamin.bsky.social and fewer like John Whitmire.

It’s so weird seeing The Dude doing T-Mobile commercials.

@abbiekamin.bsky.social @tiffanydthomas.bsky.social can you please get some answers about what HPD’s policy is? I am one Houstonian who thinks this cooperation is disgusting and I want some answers.

I had a laugh in the psychic sketch. It wasn’t a long laugh, but it’s more than in the rest of the show so far.

Where does the SEC get its officials and wherever it is they should maybe look someplace else.

Didn’t expect the Texas prison system be running the Angels front office.

A great weekend to share Jeff Bridges making a perfect joke

Missing teen with autism transferred to refugee facility by HPD He is currently being held at an Office for Refugee Resettlement facility.

Dear Houston City Council, can you guys please get some answers from the Mayor on just what his police department is doing? This is disgusting. @abbiekamin.bsky.social @tiffanydthomas.bsky.social www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Oh my god @mikescollins.bsky.social I didn’t think anything would top that Epstein joke, then came the Woody Allen joke. I bow down to your greatness.

I wish @abbiekamin.bsky.social was my council member. She represents all that is great and good about Houston. I wish the rest of city council had her bravery.

It would be nice to have a mayor who’d stand up to the MAGA assholes every once in a while instead of just caving every single time.

I like this if RHC Group will commit to keeping the team here and spending some money on it. It seems as if Segal has been treating the Dash as some unwanted stepchild with little to no effort to market the team or get fans in the stands.

Greg Abbott and his minions should never be allowed a moment of silence whenever they visit Houston again because of this (and many other things)...

Council Member Ed Pollard is going to slap Mayor John Whitmire across the face sometime very soon, and I can't wait for that moment to happen.

Wait, are you implying that something reported by Clay Travis is not accurate? I mean, if I can't believe Clay, who can I believe?

Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems...the company was at its peak when run by Lord John Whorfin and John Bigboote.

All The Politicians Shake Their Asses: The Greg Abbott Story or, Nothing More Than a Haircut and Dead Eyes

Texas Governor Greg Abbott doesn't believe in anything but himself, and that's why he's dangerous. open.substack.com/pub/johnroya...

I’m so old that I remember Greg Abbott pissing his pants in fear and cowardice over the Jade Helm nonsense. But the bloviating fool is more than willing to go along with this stunt.

I don't know what has happened at @houstonchronicle.com but I am all in on this new tone of theirs busting Mayor Whitmire for being an ass on every single story they write about him.

October 1st note from Houston Chronicle at bottom of the story that Mayor John Whitmire has not responded to their requests for comment since August 17th.

But Mayor John Whitmire says his is the most transparent administration in the history of Houston.

Yeah, but you don't need the DA when you're putting Crime Stoppers in charge.

Finally starting and I think it's pretty notable that they're going to do all this without the district attorney.
