What Sheets did is dumb and weird and we should start making it a practice to call weird and dumb things weird and dumb. (I’ve been asked if I want to be a campaign’s Regina George and no, but I do want someone else to.)

I’m this on every platform you can think of, except for OnlyFans. Words at D Magazine (Arts, City Hall, State Lege, Education, etc.) and one bathroom stall in Waco. Prone to environmental embrittlement. Signal: BEricksonDTX.19
Today, as a family, we discussed how the State Fair missed an opportunity to have the funniest callback ever by wrapping Big Tex's hand (the one Hank Hill shot this season) in a bandage this year.

What I absolutely hate (in addition to the fact that it's just cruel and disgusting) is that this firing-squad execution is going to end up being pushed on every platform as people share it. I'm already gearing up to talk to my son about avoiding it.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "We demand that Christopher Columbus be put back into the heart of Columbus, Ohio. We want it back. I see my Italian lawyer over here. We gonna win the case? The monument! We're building a military complex, uh, it's a arch. A triumphal arch."
9 years ago today, two things happened to me on Twitter. One, Chachi blocked me for fact checking his account of Ronald Reagan’s funeral.
The child, two years ago: “You can tell if someone is a racist by whether they call today Columbus Day or Indigenous Peoples Day. If it’s Columbus Day they are OK with a holiday for white guys who get lost but can’t admit it and then murder everyone.”
Remember the Alamo! Where White men (Texans) fought Brown men (Mexicans) for the right to keep Black men (Africans) as property!
David S. Bernstein @dbernstein.bsky.social · 4d agoPosted by the RNC to market Trump’s upcoming San Antonio rally. Comments?
So I edited this story. And I wanna share on thought on language, & telling the truth We talked about: the "government is lying to you" It may sound saucy. It may sound like opinion But it's just true And if something is true then you should just say it, clearly That's just good journalism
Eric Umansky@ericumansky.bsky.social · 5d ago"The federal government is lying to you." "The government has said that ICE does not zip tie or handcuff children." "They’ve denied engaging in racial profiling" "They’ve said the government is not wrongly arresting U.S. citizens." *We found the truth* projects.propublica.org/american-cit....
I made a t-shirt for this. I leaned heavily on the 58-year-old church lady who doesn't want to do something fancy because what is she a computer genius? vibe. Link: www.customink.com/ndx/
dan solomon@dansolomon.com · 3d agojust had occasion to revisit this, which is still one of the more unhinged things @texasmonthly.bsky.social let me get away with writing www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...
Right now, on a conference call between the Paxton campaign and their boss:
Aman Batheja@amanbatheja.bsky.social · 3d agoI have never before seen a political hit dragged out this long. Texas Tribune is now reporting on the FOURTH(!) leaked clip from a Paxton fundraiser from two weeks ago. "The person who recorded it declined to share the full conversation. It was unclear how many more leaks there may be."
My dad told child me (ahead of a vacation) that Ozzy Osbourne was arrested for peeing on the Alamo. (Yes, I know now that was slightly inaccurate.) I was so obsessed with this that I peppered the tour guide with questions about it until my dad split off from the tour and took me to hunt for it.
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 4d agoJust got some bad news from a lady tour guide on the status of the basement here. Pizzagate situation, doesn’t exist. Should’ve put an AirTag on this bike.
One of my first editor jobs, I got through the second interview and then they hired a white guy who worked in PR. (At that pt I had several years under my belt.) That white guy who worked in PR lasted a whole month, then they called me and offered me the job. Yes, white men are very abused.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoFCC Chair Andrew Ferguson touts the administration's work to "protect white American men from discrimination"
I feel like this headline may say things low key like, "you'll be a one-income family because that's how many jobs you can find," and "you'll only work 3 days a week because that's how much work your job will give you."

I just attended virtual traffic court and before I could even present my evidence I was told there was an error with my ticket and it was being dismissed.

Texas Candidate Debates and Forums in North Texas
The statewide debate calendar is thin, but several local races—and one Railroad Commission contest—offer voters a chance to hear from candidates before early voting starts.
