only lived in TX from '15-'18, so caveats about my depth of knowledge but I generally understood the state of TX politics as: cornyn is bad, but cruz is worse cruz is bad, but greg abbott is worse abbott is bad, but dan patrick is worse patrick is bad, but HOLY SHIT KEN PAXTON IS THE LITERAL WORST

they got john cornyn up there crying and embarrassed. what a night in texas.

At last count Ebola is crushing gonorhea

thinking about things

And now they are all gone. RIP Sonny Rollins.

We're running out of legends, man. Saxophone Colossus will live forever bsky.app/profile/thes...

“I think when the creative person ends, he continues in the next existence. I’m a person who believes this life isn’t the be-all and end-all of everything. A spiritual person doesn’t feel like that.” –S.R. (2009) 2/2

The legendary jazz saxophonist, who revolutionized the art of improvisation, died Monday at his home in Woodstock, N.Y. n.pr/3Q2hMWr

ah man RIP Sonny Rollins. there simply wasn't any other tenor saxophone player you'd rather study and attempt to emulate. truly deserving of the saxophone colossus nom de plume

honestly thrilled for the knicks & their fans

No matter how hard you post or what sites you do it in it’s never going to be 2019 again

I'm not a parent but my hot take is that you should be absolutely ruthless when it comes to playing games w/ young children as I was tonight with my soon to be 5 year old niece when we taught her to play dominos tonight which ended with her throwing her remaining dominos & crying as she went to bed

You’re gonna teach them how to cuss whether you want to or not

missed the 1st half because I was trimming & prepping a brisket, but I hope someone on here posted the scott foster highlight reel set to "enter sandman"

“I felt like a sitting duck all day” says a guy named Pato

INDY PULLING THAT RED FLAG. HELL YEAH LETS DO SOME NONSENSE

The Greatest Spectacle In Racing

Hey, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are here. Travis Kelce: good at drinking beer.

these proposed amendments in august are insane, and they need to be defeated. missouri is just crazytown compared to other states and that's saying something

it’s so funny that millions of people will see a dude that won’t even bother to go to *his own son’s wedding* and be like “I bet he is looking out for my personal well-being, and would also like me personally if we ever met”

A lot of you are missing the most obvious follow-up angle to this: If and when Don Jr.'s ex-wife ties the knot with Tiger Woods, there is no chance in the world the big man is missing that one

colbert rules

Man it is so fucking crazy that Paul McCartney exists. He lived through all that and here he is, just walking around the world.

Inside the NBA still has the fastball

i’ve seen screenshots of kyle busch invoking the constitution to complain about NASCAR being mean to him but the full clip is breathtaking. he had the greatest villain run in american sports this century and i’m not taking counter suggestions

returned to the scene of the crime for the first time (newark airport) when I got stranded overnight back in September & emergency victorious (got home on time, early in fact)

oh my god what on earth

all love for Free Bird is sincere and deeply felt, we are never joking about Free Bird

I’m concerned Amtrak doesn’t know where Kansas City is.

missed this yesterday, but man, lsu interim coach ed orgeron in like 2030 or whatever is gonna hit so dang hard

and the 20 hour day across 2 timezones and too many highways to count, is done

new jersey isn't a real place what do you mean there's a somewhat major thoroughfare named possumtown road

& once again we remain victorious against the scourge of 6am flights

once again time to play the most dangerous game: waking up in time for a 6am flight

The New York Knickerbockers

that the Knicks and Cavs are fighting this hard for the honor of being ritually sacrificed to Wemby is so wild. America has reentered its Aztec phase

lol

i think this is the piece of news is what finally does me in and permanently detaches me from reality. what in the entire fuck is this. how are the people in charge here this mind-numbingly stupid

oh good more rashee rice offseason news just get rid of him already, you can't depend on him

Yeah there's a larger story here about how the Texas Bargain - low taxes, cheap houses, good schools - ended up making the state way more competitive politically while the Florida Bargain - low taxes, cheap houses, you can do crimes here - made theirs less.

Wemby just grabbed this game by the throat and choke slammed it through a table like the fucking Big Show
