Software, politics. All manner of food/drink, often eaten over the sink.

This double sunset rainbow in Austin tonight was one of the craziest things I’ve experienced.

Really enjoying this Law & Order: SVU - Sunday Night Football crossover with Stabler going undercover as an NFL referee. #snf

Our school district serves specially formulated versions of popular cereals with “no artificial flavors or colors, and less sugar” than the regular versions. Shouldn’t these just be the regular versions?

@odibabapodcast @Intermiamicfhub @MLS Other than Inter Miami and Messi apologists, who was saying they didn't want him to play? Certainly not the thousands of disappointed kids I saw at the game wearing his jersey who had expectations set. Many players played 30 mins. As the face of the league, he could've managed.

@KXAN_News My dyslexic daughter has a much easier time reading cursive. Since the letters are connected, it gives her brain a natural flow, making them easier to understand. Books in cursive would be great, but don’t really seem to exist. Would be great to explore.

Every senator and member of Congress should immediately and voluntarily disclose any stock, bond, or similar trades they have made in the last ten days.

Texas touts a surplus of $24 billion while 91% of its schools are underfunded, @AustinISD has a $110 mil budget shortfall yet is forced to pay $821 mil in recapture, and @GregAbbott_TX accepts $6 mil from a Pennsylvania donor to push school vouchers, further gutting funding.

Any chance the @Q2Stadium water stations sponsored by @YETICoolers, the “Kings of Keeping Things Cold”, will actually be chilled this year?

As much as I love room temperature water on 100° game days, this feels like a missed opportunity.

Hey Apple, how can they be "Top Stories" if they're part of an infinite scroll?

Really defeating to see the school voucher bill, which will benefit wealthy families at the expense of public school funding, has passed the TX Senate the same day I get a note from my child's public school teacher that their classroom is in dire need of pencils and paper.

The MLS schedule, aka Messi’s 2025 Tour dates, dropped today. I checked our Austin FC games closer than a billion dollar Powerball draw to make sure I hadn’t missed Miami on there someplace. Bummer.

@slabfactory_ty Had a hard time setting expectations the first time my son wanted to sell some Pokemon cards. The value was so much lower than he’d thought, he lost all interest in the whole thing. As annoying as I thought collecting was, it was heartbreaking to see him give it up in an instant.

@SaintArnold Care to share what the extra spices were in the bottled version of Sailing Santa so those of us trying to recreate it can do so faithfully? Sure would make the holidays warmer. Better yet, bring it back!

@JDVance Quoting a serial killer character's dialogue is a strange choice here.

[Travis Smith @jtsmith01]

@nateberkopec I see many great books and resources on RSpec. Is there a good one for Minitest?

[Sara Spector @Miriam2626]

I prosecuted sexual assault cases in Texas.
I prosecuted these cases for 17 years.
I never prosecuted an undocumented immigrant for rape.
I prosecuted multiple Christian pastors for rape.
As a descendant of a holocaust survivor, I have to speak up against this hate.

Happy to see the increased density and development, but I love me some custard and cheese curds. Is @culvers going to relocate nearby?
