@NelsonB76475730@manuel_alamilla I had a job making graphs and was so thrilled to learn that art stores sold adhesive tapes with different graph lines on them.
@manuel_alamilla In the class I took on FORTRAN, most of us were content to just use the JCL cards the instructor gave us. But the true nerds would announce that they hoped to learn JCL so they could write their own cards.
@PopcornPost_ I don’t know about masterpiece. But I’ve always considered “City Slickers” to be a great story, with the most trite, derivative, annoying sequel it would be possible to write.
@mariana057 A friend of mine saw a sign on a mailbox in a hotel: "Warning. Do not put mail in box after last pick up."
He asked, "Isn't it always after the last pick up?"
@Gibboanxious When the movie came out, I was teaching education leadership. We often discussed what made one a leader and how to use leadership for good. I was fascinated by Kevin Spacey’s character having phenomenal leadership qualities, which he knowingly used for evil.
Fascinated by this debate about the Christianity of Talarico and Paxton. Here's the thing: Paxton is corrupt.
What matters more in public office? Bad theology or outright corruption? Someone who believes wrong, or someone who does wrong?
the Republican campaign will literally never evolve beyond "he's gay and trans"
this is the only thing they'll run on for the next five months because there exists literally no argument in favor of Ken Paxton
There are Democrats who worry AOC can’t be elected president because she’s a Latina woman. Or Pete Buttigieg because he’s gay.
This is a helpful reminder that Republicans will go completely apeshit if you nominate a straight cis decent white guy too.
James Talarico said “God is non-binary” in 2019 and that offended my Christian ears. Therefore, I will vote for the serial adulterer who steals from thy neighbor and who will most certainly abuse his power once in office.
Remember, when a Dem calls @kenpaxton a "criminal", " a fraud", "a swindler", "a coward", "a cheat", "a pedophile protector", & "is thoroughly corrupted & unfit for office" they will simply be restating what @johncornyn & other TX & national Rs have already said about him.
You have seven months left where you could make a meaningful difference in holding Trump accountable and preventing a corrupt, out-of-control executive running wild over the next two years.
The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.
Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...
@worillessg If I remember correctly, “The French Lieutenant’s Woman” presented the protagonist with an excruciating dilemma. The author announced that he didn’t know how to resolve it, and so, wrote two endings—giving us his okay to select the one we preferred. I was furious with him!
@jaybsauceda My friends and I were asked to play music at a Veteran's home. We decided that the residents would enjoy "the oldies." Then we did the math: their ages ranged from 60 to 100 years old. So, which songs would be oldies? Like from Doris Day to Mick Jagger, we guessed.
