23 for me! Thanks Hays County (which I still maintain has some of the worst water in Texas). And I think I’ve only had like two.
Pretty sure Austin water is why I had no cavities until I went to live in a county with gross water in college.

Women tried to tell, and continue to tell everyone: these assholes are psychologically incapable of accepting 'no' as an answer.

This goes for Trump, Epstein, the Andrew formerly known as Prince, RFK, Hegseth, etc.

Insane we spent 10+ years trying bipartisanship and appeasement.
my basic theory of him at this point is the 2020 election is the first time he ever heard a meaningful "no" in his life and it has completely broken his mind

The only way this stupid, stupid trial could be better is if it were taking place in Philadelphia and everybody had to keep saying "Hoagie" over and over again in a Delco accent, though at least Brad Ingelsby would win Emmys for that court transcript.
Defense is now questioning Lairmore on cross-examination. They show a video still of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground, post-throw.

"Do you recognize that sandwich?" the attorney asks.

Lairmore won't confirm.

"I did not go back to collect it," he says.

When you book a flight through major travel sites, a data broker owned by U.S. airlines will sell details about your flight—your name, credit card used, and where you’re flying to the government.

We found out how to opt-out of ARC selling your travel data. A guide:

Uh, his wife is an insanely cool badass? Now I’m extra mad I can’t vote for him.

Johnson won't talk about the Republican health care plan—not because it's secret, but because it doesn't exist.
Mike Johnson talks about the Republican "healthcare plan" like it's highly classified information: "We're not gonna be on a conference call explaining all our plans and strategies for healthcare reform, because they're leaked in real time."

Remember that time Dick Cheney shot a guy in the face and then the guy had to go on TV and apologise for how being shot in the face made Dick Cheny look bad?
I miss getting my news from MTV back in the days when the reality star to politics career trajectory was not a thing.

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

Absolutely! Let’s not let tech bro wannabes dictate our city's future. Vote YES on Prop Q and show them we stand for progress, not MAGA nonsense! #blueresistance
What a shock a tech startup dipshit is helping push the reactionary Trump/Abbott MAGA agenda against our city

With that in mind please vote Yes on Prop Q in Austin so we can continue to provide vital city services

This tech entrepreneur's website against Austin's Prop Q is raising ethics questions

Reminder: The United States cannot afford universal healthcare
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”

Checking out The Regime on HBO and it’s so disturbingly weird. And I can’t tell if it’s in the good way.

I am once again asking... does anyone in the Trump administration know what habeas corpus is?
