In a variant on the "oh so you hate waffles" tedium, today I received "oh so you think pancakes and waffles are equally bad" 🙄

Realized today that my kid's version of "my dad dipping, but telling me never to start" is gonna be me using social media but telling them to never get on it. Fwiw, never started.

Serious question: are any evangelicals upset about the term "Super Intelligence" as attempting to be better than the creation made in God's own image?

Dem candidate for TX Agriculture Commissioner, Clayton Tucker, says his GOP opponent doesn't have the ag ties required for the office. “Owning a small number of beehives in Frisco does not count,” Tucker said. “Data Nate has not owned his hobbyist ranch long enough for it to count under Texas law.”

Texas ag commissioner candidates trade ineligibility jabs

The candidates accused one another of not having ties to the agriculture industry, a requirement under state law.

this man would be floored by the "the surgeon is the boy's mother" riddle

In theory, could he get him kicked off the ballot? If not, what's the point of the requirements at all?

Too young to legally consent to sign a contract. But old enough to consent away where they want to live to be shipped someplace random by a government that hates them. In a just world, Hollad would need to annex half of Belgium to find room for the expanded Hague prison thus all calls for.

🧵 ICE is about to open a new facility for unaccompanied kids in Alexandria, Louisiana -- inside an airport to speed deportations. ICE plans to pack kids into planes, fly them into risk of trafficking. CEO of the new ICE facility contractor says kids are 'voluntarily departing.' I call bullshit.

Probably should devote more energy to the lack of personal ambition reflected by “launching campaign to theoretically be veep to a youthful and unpopular current veep.”

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

2 people died and it's just now getting shut down?

Chron.com@chron.com · 2h ago

The family of a rider who is now in a coma called the shut down "long overdue."

I know we just got to work it out with the school and don't think they'll give us any issues. But I have a sad 5 year old who didn't get to do centers today & he says it's because he got in trouble for going back to the bathroom right after they went as a class. And that's 100% his bladder issues.

Senator Van Hollen is forcing a vote on his 502B resolution TONIGHT. It would force the U.S. State Department to conduct a comprehensive review of Israeli human rights abuses and release that to Congress and the public. Tell your senators to vote yes at the link below imeupolicy.org/exposeisrael

An interesting thought I just had. I think the "we're gonna lose if you don't donate" texts suppress your own voter's enthusiasm after a certain point. And the GOP is certainly going to send a lot of those in the next month. Interested to see if it keeps their folks from turning out.

Paxton sent him several emails? Is Rove talking about legit emails from Paxton himself, or is he talking about the fundraising "the sky is falling" emails?

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 22h ago

Karl Rove warns that the Texas GOP is being taken over by Nazis. “In the last 48 hours, Ted Cruz has reached out to me and says, ‘We’re losing,’ Ken Paxton has sent me several emails saying, ‘I’m losing, I need your help. Even the Republicans are admitting that they’re behind.”

Schmitt tried to come for El-Sayed a month ago for not knowing ball and screwed it up then too. Dude stepping on rakes left and right.

Our current gaggle of right-wingers knows so little ball that sports are dangerously close to becoming lib-coded

AMAZING! Sean Hannity’s Twitter account is trying to frame Eric Schmitt's embarrassing screwup as a win, claiming he put Jack Smith "on the spot."

I was about to say "there was just a Browns-Panthers game this past weekend," but then I looked, and lo, there's Browns-Jets in a couple of weeks.

Maybe do some prep ahead of time, knowing what Fox is going to ask.
