The gold medallion grants its owner the power to summon a hobgoblin familiar.

Seeing a Cybertruck is the polar opposite of the small thrill of seeing a Delorean. Both are angular stainless future cars, but one looks like it was designed by a 6 year old.

This is an anti-ice account.

A shimmer of hope. Cy-Fair, a large TX district, overturned its MAGA majority in November, and they just reinstated banned textbook passages. I taught with Lesley years ago. It’s time to boot the authoritarian freaks and reload our school boards with great educators and good people like Lesley.

I enjoy this citizen enhancement on my run. I hope my city doesn’t spend tax dollars removing it.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

The ICE out protest in Houston last night was huge. Way more people than I expected, and I expected a lot. Notable: zero of the Trumpers and ICE supporters I saw in comments sections promising to show up actually followed through. Not a single counter-protestor. All nazi cap, no cattle.

It looks like being a billionaire is an automatic death sentence for your soul. We need to tax these people for their own good, not just ours. Those admonitions about wealth in the bible are not fucking around.

Fuuuuuck. My wife just told me Good Culture got bought by private equity. We just can’t have nice things.

Germany has three city-states. So should Texas. Let’s start talking about secession, Dallas and Austin. 6 new senators and no more gerrymandering, no more loss of autonomy, and local control.

I was vibing with Talarico, and I want to pull for a fellow middle school teacher. Then I read this Cornyn take: “Talarico is dangerous... he’ll probably beat Jasmine Crockett, and he’s capable of raising a lot of money." Translation: That lying sack of shit is more afraid of Crockett. Sorry James.

I saw Exploding Tree Risk at SXSW in ‘98

Someone unplug then plug CJ Stroud back in.

I am enjoying my hometown team sacking the MAHA out of Aaron Rodgers. I hope his career ends with this giant wet fart of a game tonight.

Both of my grandmothers were naturalized Americans. My daughter is a naturalized American. The moral rot in the GOP runs so deep. It’s gone all the way through. www.lpm.org/news/2026-01...

Wesley Hunt is going hard after the title of Shittiest Houstonian. With a field that includes Ted Cruz it will be hard sledding but the kid has gumption.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

I just think it's neat that bad leaders who must be stopped at all costs only live in countries with big oil reserves

Wally likes the double queen bed arrangement at the hotel. One bed all for him!

I never needed or wanted AI. I want a tiny laser on my headboard that auto-targets and destroys mosquitos.

This all day and twice on Sunday. I’m might be fixing to be annoying about this. Get ready.

Let’s definitely invest over a trillion dollars in this, instead of in people or in global warming.

Watching Rules of Engagement with Samuel Jackson, and wondering if the rules of engagement portrayed at the heart of this legal war drama are made up, or if our current government and war policy is totally made up.

The unreflective immaturity in Tarantino’s comment about Paul Dano in There Will Be Blood is the same throughline of immaturity that stops his best movies from being as anywhere as great as There Will Be Blood.

Just ONCE I wish a TX power company would give me a better rate for being a loyal, returning customer. I’m always having to switch providers to get the “new customer” rate. Deregulated power is such a scam. End-stage capitalism garbage.

#FIFA peace prize? FIFA can fuck right off with this pandering bullshit. This is so repulsive I don’t even need to make an effort to boycott the World Cup this summer. I was already grossed out by the greedy leadership and ticket prices. This puts it over the top.

I remember when David Dewhurst got primaried by Ted Cruz and Dan Patrick. Since then the TX GOP has been nothing but a show pony ring for who can be the shittiest person.

Whost else among y’all is married to a Pokey Walker™️ and how do you deal with it

it's happening

So true. The adult convert guys I have known were all high strung opus dei weirdos

Every college I have attended or worked for (UT, JMU, Houston) is in the top 25 of NCAA football, except….. Rice🦉😢

The entire #Rockets team went to Jabari Smith's high school in Georgia to see his jersey retired. That's some adorable team chemistry. I am feeling really good about my Rockets this year.

I had no idea that Bipolar Disorder was so common and that the US has much higher rates than the rest of the world. I also learned that it can triggered by stress and trauma, so that checks out. apple.news/AyCOAUekYTaC...

This is a great post/point thus I won’t nitpick that purity rings were longer ago than that; but I will mention that 10 years ago, ironically, it was anti-human-trafficking.

Toyota Celica ass name

So I guess the Amazon thing took out Starbucks’ online ordering? There are like 2 people in my local Starbucks. Maybe our billionaire overlords overpromised….

“There’s no way I’m bending the knee I have left for a king in America.” Damn. Just … damn.

We are going to fucking win

Houston #NOKINGS. Bless this guy’s heart. He stood there alone, sweltering under his gear and guns, watching us in our joy and solidarity. Terrible life choices culminating in a solo fascist project.

No Kings protest in The Woodlands, Texas (north suburban Houston). This is the first such protest to occur in the community. I overheard a number of folks telling others that they had never attended such an event before but had gotten to the point of feeling they needed to do something.

“No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Groovy time for Republicans to systematically destroy public education, at this moment when the world is being inundated with AI slop and misinformation.

I wonder when normal, decent Republicans will stand up and stop this insanity. Then I wonder if there are still any normal, decent Republicans among us. Strong Invasion of The Body Snatchers vibe.

This season of Project Runway was hot garbage. Auf Wiedersehen. 21 year run over for me.

These fucking people

Just advised my son who is applying to M.Ed programs: stay in Colorado and build a teaching career there. Don’t come back to Texas. Makes me kind of sad to tell him that.

Enjoying the original True Grit. "I also notice that the men of Texas gouge their mounts with great brutal spurs and cultivate their hair like lettuce!"
