The next time you see someone saying that “Texas gets what they vote for” yada yada yada, tell them about Tarrant County losing 92! polling places today. Or that 4.8 million Texans voted for Kamala, more people than the total population of 20 states.

Ok, @mapquest.com, let’s see what your game is like! Just downloaded MQ and deleted the other map app for a trial period.
Fun fact: I last used MQ working a summer job at AAA as a special supplemental to the TripTiks we hand stamped with detours and construction.

If you’ve narrated a nature & conservation documentary titled #DeepInTheHeart and you’re a famous actor, you have a responsibility, obligation even, to speak up against the destruction happening in the Big Bend region. #MatthewMcConaughey #EthanHawke

Ethan Hawke has a nature doc out Sept. 25 “Deep in the Heart 2: Texas Rivers.” He has an obligation to use his platform NOW to speak out against the destruction happening in Big Bend, or his film will deserve to flop. Please share if you have evidence of him speaking up. www.msn.com/en-us/entert...

Currently reading A Flower Traveled in my Blood by Haley Cohen Gilliland about Los Desaparecidos in Argentina, which I’m finding incredibly relevant today. 5 ⭐️

If you’re ever in NW San Antonio/Helotes, stop at Spread the Loaves! Great bakery, great people!
The bakery’s next move is happening just 100 feet from its new home. 🥪🥯 bit.ly/4crdKib

I think it’s really cool that 55 countries hate private equity so much they said “fuck off, FIFA, if you sell the World Cup we’re starting our own tournament”

If they can lie about the mortality of a US senator and get away with it they can lie about the results of an election and get away with it. Why don’t more Americans grasp this simple concept?

Ansari: There is no doubt in my mind that much of this war is about profiting the Trump family and Trump’s orbit. 18 U.S. service members have been killed. Thousands of Iranian civilians have been killed. Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. is making billions of dollars.

So, Costco eggs (in TX) are ok?

I’ll update you all.

Thought I got a reasonable deal on ice cream only to realize that it was 1.5 quart (0.375 gallons) instead of the standard 1/2 gallon.

Cans of diced tomatoes were $.10 higher but the size shrank from 12 oz to 10 oz cans.

French bread loaf went from $1.00 to $1.25.

Watch for shrinkflation.

Now is a great time to try out microgreens. I just broke out my kit that I haven’t used since the winter.

Also, here’s some arugula from my garden (super easy to grow!)

Starting my week of colonoscopy prep, which means I can’t have salads, and I’m still going to end up with diarrhea.

THIS has to change.
Quick hit video of a dude asking people how much they spent on World Cup finals tix and then their occupation.

CEO of KC Chiefs, owner of Welch’s, and an inconspicuous “consultant”. See if you can identify him.

Tonight at least the raccoon came at more of a reasonable hour—but brought along three cuter copies. They have mistaken my hummingbird feeders for Kool-aid dispensers. This one got left behind.

Pool report from @svdate.bsky.social, who is at the World Cup ceremony:

"The president walked onto the field at 1826 to a sustained chorus of boos.

Ambient crowd noise was about 78 decibels. Booing brought it to 84."

We’re at the point in the match where Argentina gets aggro.

At a kid’s birthday party. That started half an hour after the final. And there is no tv.

Politicians usually show up at the border to demonize & fear-monger.

We just drove 750 miles from El Paso to the Valley to show off the beauty & potential of our border communities.

We’re showing up for Texans along the border who've been left behind by both political parties.

Ok, I enjoyed the Jimothy content for a minute. 🦝

But I did NOT enjoy the raccoon who woke me up last night at 3am by knocking over two glass bottles of nitrogen water and a planter, who then emptied a bird feeder.
