If Christianity supports Trump, then it has failed. He would not have been elected without their support. Of course there are many wonderful Christians out there doing the right thing. I will never understand how you can be a person of faith and support that man.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau chimed in online after Canada beat the United States in the 4 Nations Face-Off final. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

How are we even going to survive this? Very depressing.

Here are the approximate snow amounts needed for total driver panic in various locations: Buffalo: 12" Colorado: 9" Ohio: 6" Austin: 0.1"

Um yeah don't think I'll go anywhere near a plane for awhile.

BREAKING: Elon Musk is now trying to buy Wisconsin’s state Supreme Court majority. Election is on April 1—the first statewide election of the new Trump/Musk era. Musk wants to own state-level courts to thwart any possible check on their coup. Help us fight back. secure.actblue.com/donate/wisde...

Who could replace Lorne? My answer is Tina Fey. Yours?

Eddie Murphy being Tracy Morgan was priceless.

So far the opening to SNL 50 is super boring. Bad choice for an opener.

One of those nights in Austin

I got a head of cabbage instead of lettuce. WTF do I even do with it?

Sheryl Crow: “My parents always said you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla. Money donated to NPR, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes the truth will…find its way to those willing to know [it].”

Today's Austin ISD newsletter: District wide hiring freeze effective March 1. Losing an additional 10% than they projected based on a report from Travis County Appraisal District. Our Education funding is broken and the state of Texas is sitting on billions holding public education hostage.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

My lovely sister and her beautiful daughter Brooke. My sister died of Pancreatic Cancer. Hold your dear ones close to you. You never know how long you got.

It's a little hard to hear but if you listen carefully you can hear this guy screaming "YOU'RE A FUCKING TRAITOR!!" I'm kidding...Trump heard it too.

That turbo tax commercial was a Debbie Downer. No one wants to think about taxes today.

Super Bowl LIX held at the Superdome in New Orleans, the pregame show will draw upon New Orleans-raised jazz masters, featuring SFJAZZ Executive Artistic Director Terence Blanchard, Jon Batiste, Harry Connick Jr., the Original Pinettes, the Soul Rebels, and the Spirit of New Orleans Gospel Choir.

Jon Batiste is singing the national anthem tonight!

Always a treat to go from the flu to cedar allergies in Austin.

The following senators voted for Kristi Noem: Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia Senator Andy Kim of New Jersey Senator Gary Peters of Michigan Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan

Trump says he's now lead trumpet and artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center.

And our American farmers who grow wheat for USAID will be impacted as well. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

millennials will be like yeah i have a favorite opera and it's just The Black Parade (2006) by my chemical romance

It's like my cat knew my mother in law was coming when she decided to pee on the pantry floor.

Hmmm what could it be?

Greg Abbott and his billionaire mega-donors know private school vouchers are unpopular in Texas. So they’ve paid for a poll-tested rebrand to sell their scam. Here’s how to debunk their “school choice” slogan in 60 seconds…

We could have had Kamal and normalcy but no, Americans prefer chaos. All Republicans are to blame. They ruined this country.

A 3rd time. So devastating. people.com/grammys-2025...

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?

Here's today's Venn, starring Texas School Vouchers, Penis Extension Surgery, and Toll Lanes

Y'all, the tariffs are a big deal. But hear me out, they are a distraction from what is really happening right now in our government. 🧵

Not only did Trump not release more water that would be useful to firefighters in LA, the water he did release was actually reserved for central valley farmers (who mostly voted for Trump) and will now go to waste instead of their farms.

People aren't angry enough. Why is a citizen from South Africa allowed to do that? They should have been taken out of the building in handcuffs.

Sabrina Carpenter music is so lame. I don't get it.

It’s almost as if the Canadian Prime Minister cares more about the well-being of Americans than the American president does.

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks: "We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

Last I checked Canada was our friend. Stop being an ass to them. They've been minding their own business forever.
