ICE activity/raids
The HEB on 79 in Round Rock had a couple dozen high school kids rolling in with Anti-ICE signs. I'm not sure if they were going to protest there or had just finished protesting at school. They appeared fairly apprehensive as I approached, but they definitely appreciated my 37 year-old ass giving them a "Fuck Trump and Fuck ICE!" Way to represet, Stony Point!

2026 Midterms ...
I like Talarico. I like Crockett. I would happily support either. I also know where I live. I have spoken to my white-ass parents who are open to Talarico, while being unwilling to give Crockett any consideration. It's pretty clear why, and I don't want it to be that way. But that's the way it is. Allred looks and sounds like a politician, and if he had a real message besides being basically a Republican, he could have maybe accomplished something. Now he wants to take a stand because he feels personally slighted? I would understand if Talarico dismissed Crockett this way, but it doesn't sound like that happened. You had your chance and Cruz crushed you. Just step back, dude. I haven't been able to find the clip, but I suppose that would be an unforced error on Talarico. Although this makes Allred about as visible as he was during his actual campaign in '24, so who could've expected he would decide to insert himself.

2026 Midterms ...
12-point lead for the D after the initial drop, I'm guessing early vote?

2026 Midterms ...
My parents, Republicans who "never vote straight ticket" (I bet they sneak in a single D judge or something so they can say that) have voiced potential support for Talarico if he is ultimately the candidate. Especially if his opponent is Paxton. We'll see if that feeling holds up when it comes time to pull the lever. Excuse me, fill in the stupid paper ballot manually. I've liked the clips I've seen of him as a state rep leading up to his Senate bid, but despite being interested in helping with the campaign, he has seemed kind of invisible even to someone paying attention. As far as this video, it's 5 years old and I couldn't give less of a shit. We should all be working to convince anybody who can possibly be convinced to vote against MAGA however possible, and for whatever reason.

I had a .22 as a child, but have had very little interest since I was a teenager, and my wife is very anti-gun. Starting to think about it though.

Birding
These extended freezes are a great time to attract yardbirds with fresh water or seed. I had quite a few goldfinches, house finches and bluebirds. A summer tanager in winter is pretty wild, assuming that's in Texas.

Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
Pretty sure Chris Kluwe is an elected official, or at least campaigning in SoCal, and he's most assuredly not a Republican. So there's at least one good punter out there!

Trump’s America
In addition to all of the evil perpetrated and lied about by our government today, they've also proven how stupid they are. Miller said democrats were "flaming the flames". And White House Twitter doesn't know where penguins live. Hopefully they don't realize polar bears are the critters they might come across in Greenland.

Winter Weather 2026 - I Can Haz Cold Front?
New to this stuff, so help is appreciated. I believe i shut off the exterior water as pictured. I have 3 outdoor spigots. Opened the first and the flow started slowing, so I opened the other two, which didn't drain at all. The first one is still at a decent trickle about 10 minutes later. Does it take a while or did I do something wrong?

Bahrain is on our side. Fuck Canada- Winter Weather 2026 - I Can Haz Cold Front?
I completely forgot we may have to suffer through more than 24 consecutive hours of freezing weather when I stopped by the local HEB to find something easy to make for dinner, distracted by the fact that my wife and kids are dying of flu. It was an absolute madhouse at 4 pm on a weekday so I actually asked someone what was happening. Stupid me, I forgot we had to panic if we spend more than 8 minutes below freezing.- ICE activity/raids
I remember a quaint time 12 years ago when I thought "It sucks that climate change is really going to fuck humanity in the next century." Now, that timeline has been accelerated, as we not only ignore it, but minimize it. And even those of us who actually cared have to set it aside, because some combination of the social media algorithm, AI, and the world superpower of the last 80+ years dissolving the alliances providing some semblance of global stability is on pace to doom us much, much sooner.- The Democratic Party
#2 on your list and you can't spell his name? Is there a reason people like Beshear as a candidate other than being a white dude who has won in an R state? Honest question.- Trump’s America
My dominant emotion these days is rage, but that could easily be my sweet, sensitive half-Asian son in a few years and it makes me so incredibly sad.- Trump’s America
Yes, Norway released it so the entire world can see what sort of dipshit they're dealing with. - Trump’s America
