There is always a wrong to your right
There will always be a war somewhere to fight
God knows I've had some rough fuckin' years
Oh lord, oh lord — keep on keepin' on

Crazy stuff…the new Grok update actually checks Elmo’s opinions and statements before providing a response.
Never been happier to have abandoned that Nazi platform.
Still plenty of time for good candidates to enter!
Love this song, especially with headphones. The slow build of the brass from verse to verse in the right channel tickles my brain just right.
The only time we got close was during a Trump backlash cycle when we had a good candidate.
2026 will be a Trump backlash cycle, we need a good candidate.
Colin is an awful candidate, but the donor class loves him.
One of the cooler moments of my career…also, I learned that week around the @texasdemocrats.bsky.social office that there is an age gap that can be statistically measured by whether or not the person knows who @markhamillofficial.bsky.social is.
There are only three political positions in America today
1) I like the fascism
2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)
3) I oppose the fascism
The rest is details
I saw a thing on TikTok about how you should post something every time you open the app, so I’m doing that here.
Star Wars is awesome and Zohran is awesome and Nazis and billionaires shouldn’t exist.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening
historians: that thing is definitely happening
star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it

Let’s show up and stand strong, together. #NoKings #txlege
we could have had taco trucks on every corner
Or let Colin Trevorrow make Duel of the Fates as planned so we have an actual coherent end to the saga.
Texans want the freedom to live their lives how they want, relax the way they want, and self-medicate safely the way they want. Texas businesses, families and veterans do not want a ban on THC.
But Republicans (and a few Democrats) banned it anyway. Texans will remember. (1/2) #txlege
It’s funny because “dismantling the other guy’s work” is EXACTLY what JJ did.
Let him make Episode 9 so he can close out the trilogy! Darn shame that movie never got made.
By the data, 99% of accidents involving autonomous vehicles are the result of human error.
But in the rare case that the AV is at fault, the manufacturer should be held liable.
Robots don’t get tired or distracted. They have faster reactions than humans. They can “see” farther than humans, and in 360 degrees, simultaneously.
Humans look at their phones while they’re driving. The comparison isn’t even close.
That’s happening regardless. People should be paid a living wage and there should be UBI for the rise of automation.
“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving in that city went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads leads to more driving. Understanding #InducedDemand Via @wired.com
Currently listening to the results being released by @uptogether.bsky.social from the Oakland guaranteed basic income pilot. It was $500/mo for 18 months. Awesome to see that recipients were 44% less likely to experience homelessness compared to the control group, worked more, and kids got more As!
It's funny how when you ask them why they think Pope Francis was "too woke" and request specific examples, they always wound up describing Christ's teachings without a hint of self-awareness.

I break down how Trump pressure and backroom deals killed a bipartisan plan to let Texans vote on school vouchers, the 60+ amendments Dems proposed (and the GOP blocked) to mitigate the damage, and where we go from here. (1/2) #txlege
