@nickmlittlejohn@Austin_Police Better idea: just arrest the guy. I don’t need the crime filmed for TV and social media. I certainly don’t need to live in a surveillance state. Just catch bad guys.
@cejarrous@Austin_Police Anyone who has ever attempted to purchase a firearm (legally) in Texas knows that paperwork and background checks apply to everyone. Please do not lie and then fake outrage at your own lie. Inaccurate statements discrediting your position.
@dickhertz176@cbsaustin Little early to start political blamestorming. At this time we do not know the criminal’s motivations or affiliations. Wait for data.
#disasterrelief at the risk of dating myself, I remember when we would pull together in the face of a crisis rather than try to blame the other side in political grandstanding.
@Ronxyz00 Search around Beaumont, Texas and find gas prices in the $2.20-$2.35 per gallon range. If you stack a reward on top of that (Gas credit card or buy the car wash, for example), you can get below $2.00. Multiple places in that area.
@SenWarren When you have to lie to make your point, you are on the wrong side. I used to really admire you @SenWarren but now you have clearly fallen on hard times, if this is your best example of government corruption.
@brookstweetz Yep, the Acolyte still sucks. There are hundreds of really good stories in the Expanded Universe. Just grab Heir to the Empire and start making movies from there. Print money. You're welcome.
I got out the telescope and put down grass seed on the same day to see who would win. The telescope took the prize and the rain hasn’t stopped watering the grass.
@BluntFarceLlama@EricLDaugh She didn't provide the names, tax ID numbers, or favorite ice cream. Sheesh, how much data do you want in 30 seconds? Also, if the money was to produce a musical in Ireland, I would argue it was stolen from us first. We are just claiming it back.
After rushing through 2024, I have resolved to procrastinate more in 2025. I just haven’t had time to start yet, so I can’t tell how well I am doing.

@BuiltUSTough@realannapaulina@mattgaetz No, we know for certain someone *said* he was one. Not the same thing. The trouble with internet hyperbole throwing words around is that it creates a signal to noise problem if there is a real issue.
Before they announced, I picture a secret meeting with the overly paranoid CEO of Nissan and a less concerned CEO of Honda at a Cafe in Costa Rica saying, "Datsun! We've got Datsun here! Nobody cares."
@dantechpro@GuntherEagleman The CDC had a paper in 2017 (before politics) 'masks do not prevent the spread of flu and other coronaviruses.' Look at the size. Stopping a virus with a mask is like stopping a fire hose with a chain link fence. Sure you stop SOME water, but not enough to not get wet.
