If you’re feeling weird and listless tonight, here’s a task for you: put together a go-bag. I just updated mine yesterday. If nothing else, write down a list of what you’d need for three days away from basic supplies and make a plan to collect them this week.

Not only did this person spread measles to San Antonio, they apparently have terrible taste in everything.

I want to go back in time to yesterday and show this clip to the Senate Committee on Business and Commerce committee during their bitcoin reserve bill discussion. #txlege

Tonight on Bayou City Sludge: everything is stupid, Sid Miller wants to take fluoride out of water, Steve Toth is Steve Toth-ing again and Nathan Johnson is fed up with Mayes Middleton's shit: open.substack.com/pub/bayoucit... #txlege

good grief this lightning is INTENSE

I bought the iridescent pink hula hoop at HEB. Turns out I can’t hula hoop, but cats find it comforting.

Public testimony on a state crypto reserve is about what you'd expect. Dudes being bros.

Just posted in my neighborhood Facebook group to see if I can put together a local progressive women's group. Already got one woman asking why. Let's see how long the post stays up.
