I used to live in a mountain town with a McDonalds I'd eat breakfast after drinking all night.
I had to leave the country and wound up in a bar in Cambodia. When I said I lived in that town, the barkeep said he'd been there and painted that McDonalds. Just found the painting.
.@JamesTalarico on Texas officially banning THC:
“This bill is insane.
Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. Texans will still use THC — but instead of getting it safely from a local small business, they’ll go back to getting it from the black market. From the drug cartels.
This ban is a gift to the cartels.
We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst.
Instead of fully funding our schools, guaranteeing healthcare, or making childcare more affordable — this Legislature is focused on banning a product that gives people a little peace.
We’re making people’s lives harder, not easier.
I want to leave you with a quote: ‘It is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use.’ That wasn’t a Democrat. That was President Donald Trump.
To my Republican colleagues, I’m asking you to oppose the cartels, stand with President Trump, and vote no on this insane bill.”
“What is grief,
If not love persevering?”
I heard this quote and thought it was so profound. I searched to see who had written it.
Shakespeare?
Dostoyevsky?
Descartes?
Turns out it’s from a Marvel show called WandaVision lmao
I think it’s profound, regardless of origin haha
