this is so frustrating and disappointing, @jamestalarico.bsky.social. as Texans, we are *exhausted* by iffy (or worse) candidates. we just want one -- just ONE -- who cannot even plausibly be viewed as having skirted (or misunderstood) the law. don't get me wrong: I know Kenny's evil. but c'mon.

any Austinite worth their salt can name where I took these videos (just now). hint: when I walked outside I smelled bbq and grilled corn.

@bsky.app feature idea I understand and respect the reasons for not having an edit button. but what if you permitted editing *only* within the first 60 seconds (or so), to allow for the ‘crap I forgot to say _’ or ‘oh no I typo’d something’ moments but otherwise preserving the oneway nature?
