That's been my foremost thought during the protests and now the air strikes. Even though I have more context for the current situation, it still breaks my heart that more people are getting hurt.

The Iranian revolution was the 1st major news story I remember seeing as a kid. I would have been 6. Back then I obviously couldn't know what all it meant, but I knew a lot of people were getting hurt.

"Extra sunlight" means it doesn't cool down until 9 p.m., which means I can't do shit outside after work. Comprendes?

When you live somewhere where it gets up into the 100s-110s in the summer, DST is torture.

I'm in Texas. A few years ago, a man came out of his house late at night and fatally shot a guy who had pulled into his driveway to turn around *as the guy was backing out.* He was arrested 2 weeks after the shooting, only because the victim's family raised a ruckus about it.

The last honest advertising slogan was: β€œBehold…the power of cheese.”

I was born and raised here, but today I became just a little more Texan.

I'm an editor working in geopolitics. The factbook was an absolute treasure.

My first encounter with Chomsky was in his linguistics work, but then I started reading his sociopolitical stuff. I am deeply disappointed.

This race was such a massive swing blowout that Democrat Taylor Rehmet literally won a city called White Settlement

Oatmeal. I make mine with either mixed berries added in, or a banana or an apple with walnuts and chai spices. Put some hemp seeds on top and you've got a highly nutritious meal.

I'll be honest, I'm somewhere in the middle. 😬

Every time I start feeling mentally deficient, I see something like this & realize I'm probably doing pretty well.

american conservatism is not the preservation of fire but the worship of ashes

Yeah. "The government killed a white male U.S. citizen who was carrying a legal firearm" is going to give a lot of Republicans pause.

In non-social justice news, I have a bag of locally-milled buckwheat flour and a mini waffle maker I got at a Goodwill in New Orleans. I'm unstoppable!

We can't go "back to normal." We need to move forward to something better.

A lot of self described Christians seem to be banking on there not actually being a hell.

It took several lawsuits for Texas to install air conditioning in its prisons. I am not optimistic about there being heaters at Dilley.
