@chesire2050@Miriam2626@MattMackowiak Not sure this is still active but I wanted to note that as I think about it, Paxton almost certainly abused his authority to help his sick pervert buddy. In fact, how do we know he didnt participate? Just something to think about.
@whurley@LoewyLawFirm You mean well but honestly Austin is a town that is run by special interests. Sit back and make money or something. Getting involved almost invariably makes it worse here.
@whurley@LoewyLawFirm Lol OpenAustin - buddy you all convinced that hapless city council to waste so much money. Whether you know it or not 100% OpenAustin and "Code for America" inspired and empowered city to waste money for like 15 years. Can't wait to see what these forces spend on the logo design
@whurley@LoewyLawFirm By the way, are you the whurley who used to show up and ask council for millions to fund some open source transparency nonsense when the city barely had a working website? You are one of the last I would trust on this. Angry they didn't hire you to design the logo?
@whurley@LoewyLawFirm You wouldn't have made a better logo. The costs weren't outrageous either.
There is real waste in the city - this isn't it.
But go waste a few more million undoing it all while the homeless get another $50 million.
Stop focusing on minutiae.
@whurley@LoewyLawFirm Right the logo design was clean enough that some work project beneficiary at the city could put a cluttered background behind it and still legible.
@dave1oakns@washingtonpost Yes, but they can also spread the credit to Trump's willing enablers at the state level.
Liberals wont have to suffer through hearing about the "Texas miracle" much longer. GOP has killed that golden goose.
@whurley@LoewyLawFirm So you waste the money that was spent by ditching the perfectly serviceable municipal logo bc it doesnt have a rainbow or a guitar on it? Dumb
@coNora05@NickKristof@ZaidJilani Its stupid. Anyone who tortures an animal is evil but animals are here in our service and convenience. Like many things that witless conservatives and liberals manage to agree on its worthless.
@DrClaytonForre1 If you are savvy and can afford to live in the right 🙄 district its probably not any worse than letting them have a smartphone. Smart parents too are helicopter parents but like the police helicopters in Singapore that just hover probably silently and gather intel then strike.
