  1. Sunday afternoons are typically the most thinly-staffed time of week in newsrooms (other than overnight). Especially now.
  2. Well, this piece from two months ago outlines Stephen Miller’s position on it, so this is likely where things are headed. I hope I’m wrong. https://www.yahoo.com/news/stephen-miller-unveils-bizarre-attack-194857907.html
  3. While I don’t entirely disagree with your premise, I want to note a key distinction here: these teachers are not using those gift cards to “supplement their income”. In the case of my wife and many of her colleagues, they’re using those cards to buy classroom supplies that they are given no budget to purchase because of the continued degradation of school funding in our state - or, using them to buy protein bars to keep on hand since budgets for free breakfasts and lunches have been severely cut by our esteemed governor.
  4. My 18yo saw it, loved it and said it was about as good as the animated original. That surprised me.
  5. If the team suddenly hires a consultant named Bob Sugar that's a 🚩.
  6. A few more details here. Gordo talked about it on the O-deck this morning. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/jerry-jones-adult-swim-keeping-up-with-the-joneses-series-1236263784/
  7. This so great, but F’ville is very much a blue dot within a sea of red. Walking around town there last week, I saw lots of pride and trans flags, and local elected officials there are mostly progressive. It’s starting to spread as NWA grows as a metro area, but the rest of the state still makes up for it.
  8. Sadly, Douglas from Nitzer Ebb died today. He has been ill and wasn’t on this tour (it was just Bon and another dude). He had a commanding stage presence and voice, for sure. https://www.brooklynvegan.com/nitzer-ebbs-douglas-mccarthy-has-died-at-58/
  9. NM - dupe post - Da Fino beat me to it.
  10. That photo is from a construction site in NYC from a few years back, and just keeps getting recycled for these "aNtIfA sOrOs DeMoCrAt CiTiEs" posts. Please stop.
  11. Rick Mitchell on NBC5 says the really bad stuff should hit D/FW around midnight. Just moved in all the patio furniture. We’ll see what happens…
  12. “I love you.”
  13. “Call Big Lou - he’s like you, on meds too!”
  14. Anyone rejoicing when Tinderholt announced his retirement from the Leg should have known better. O'Hare's scheming continues, following the ridiculous Tarrant County redistricting plan that passed yesterday. https://www.keranews.org/politics/2025-06-03/republican-tony-tinderholt-running-for-tarrant-county-commissioners-court
  15. Tim Cowlishaw needs to actually talk on mic. So far this morning, it sounds like he's just making occasional asides and laughing in the background because he's hard to hear.
  16. https://www.npr.org/2025/06/03/nx-s1-5418080/pbs-npr-trump-rescission-public-broadcasting
  17. Given the hateful crap I have seen posted in the comments of pretty much every pride month post the past two days, I am not hopeful about that whatsoever.
  18. I noticed in the TxTrib story about the STAAR bill failing that the Senate had slipped a provision into their version of the bill that would allow the TEA to take over, and appoint a conservator for, any district that sued the state/TEA, about anything. It's a blessing that bill failed.
  19. Elon's latest troubles are largely self-inflicted, but also, example number 7,345 of ETTD.
  20. Not sure where to put this, but yikes. https://www.cpr.org/2025/06/01/boulder-attack-pearl-street/
  21. PBS files suit against Trump, joining NPR. https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/30/media/pbs-trump-lawsuit-npr-executive-order-end-funding
  22. In essentially one generation, we have gone from having folks in state and national leadership who, while differing on policy sometimes to an extreme level, were still generally respected, knowledgeable, and held in high esteem - to cretin like this in many crucial roles. I don’t see any easy way to recover from this.
  23. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/27/nx-s1-5413094/npr-public-radio-lawsuit-trump-funding-ban
  24. A salutatorian in Mansfield used her graduation speech platform to go after cuts in public education and higher education funding, along with the Texas voucher program. 👏 https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16VhgT3KQH/?mibextid=wwXIfr
