I oive this city. I love this neighborhood. I just met a woman while we were both waiting for slices at Home Slice. Like meeting someone for the first time that is an old old friend. She erased all the psychic damage the news gave me this morning. We're gonna win!

whatever liberties it takes with the personalities or precise events for comedic & narrative effect, The Death of Stalin (2017) was instructive in this regard!
This is often how personalist regimes work -- dozens of guys close to the leader compete for power and influence, backstabbing and out-maneuvering each other for the leader's attention/ignorance.
The crazy thing about Trump II is that we really have no idea who is drafting the war plans or the peace plans, or even how much Trump is in the loop on either.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.
“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

If this is all they're offering in return for their demands of a majority,
people need to reconsider whether this current political arrangement is even worth saving.
This is nothing.
Dems want ICE back on the leash and that's all.
Fuck you, that's not enough.

eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

Big city 🤩
The Waterline Tower is pretty near complete.
This is by far the tallest building in Austin, and it's also the tallest building in any city anywhere in the South. At 1,025ft, it's just barely almost as tall as the Chrysler Building.

I take on average 10,000 stills and a half hour of video every week. Most I'll never think about again. This I'll hold onto until I grow old. 4 hours ago.
Zero edits. No recoloring. No cropping. Nothing. Just straight up reality. 🦑

Because we haven't resurrected enough moral panics ....
Doctors say it's possible to get hooked on pot. There's a widespread misconception that marijuana is not addictive, and it's expanded as a growing number of states legalize pot.

This is a wonderful time to support journalists who do the work, don’t fuck sources, and actually have moral clarity.
i promise i don’t mean to high horse this but if you’re thinking about giving lizza ten bucks there are a lot of good independent journalists whose work you could subscribe to for a month instead

Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Epstein’s journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.
