TXDOT has basically made I-35 as unsafe as possible in Austin in order to ram through a highway expansion and every truck in Texas seems to be taking this opportunity to drive through with oversize loads. 2 of them appear to have collided today and completely shut down I-35 South during rush hour
Southwest Airlines, unfortunately, still does that. It's especially fun when the mobile version is missing features that you often need from the desktop site but they simply refuse to let you see them on a phone
This was responding to a specific line from Trump, he has been very outspoken against sending ANYONE to gulags
You are clearly not ready or able to handle what politics has become. Resign and let someone who is actually willing to fight take the reins
Truly tremendous work from The Onion since their resurgence/revival
Not helpful engagement here
Why did the name plate get blanked out in this gif 🤔
But hey on the other hand their sci-fi programming absolutely rips
(begrudgingly, my eye twitching, with no motivation) New York, greatest city on earth baby
I think this is the second Martin-signed memo where I've seen this but does anyone know why he crosses out the names of the people it's addressed to and then rewrites them by hand?
"We 4 You"
Based on their subreddit I'm getting the impression that a significant amount of them are not
Is this because of the changes they made to let them send out those email blasts about the buyouts and stuff?
Feels like you could have picked a better quote here based on that insane press conference
What. Two days after the judge already responded? What are we doing here
We're just on here saying anything now I guess
But breweries are great because they are generally universally "kid friendly". Tons of the ones in Austin have playgrounds or other activities and generally fill that "casual hangout spot" niche
Austin (and presumably Texas as a whole) is bizarre because it appears to be up to the owner. Some bars that are basically glorified restaurants (Revelry) insist on 21+ at all times (even during the day). Some complete dive bars with no food options (Yellow Jacket) will let kids in all the time.
I've seen people post stuff like this before, about how backwards the US is because we don't seem to allow playgrounds next to bars. But....we do....here in Austin for example we have those all over the place. There's a ton of breweries and other venues with built-in playgrounds. And it's awesome.
Guy who just signed his reenlistment papers:
There's really no universal masking anywhere in the world right now is there? Are you saying like 2020-level mandatory masks anywhere? I just don't think there's any country that would fit that requirement anymore right?
The best part about this is how mad it's making the Musk fanboys
No Elon fan but this is a longstanding joke that far precedes him; I'm assuming he took it from when Kerbal Space Program made it popular, and it was a joke among rocket scientists/engineers (and others) well before that
Since the sidewalk nearby actually looks decently wide, I am assuming that walkway is actually mean for people getting into and out of cars that are parked in those spaces? To avoid accidentally dooring cyclists? If the parking *must* be there then that's kind of nice to have i guess
Ah at least an insane "touch grass" quality post, finally Bluesky has become a worthy successor
Dr. Seuss naming standards
I would say that is a perfect summary of both why RFK's pick seems to be popular even among non-Trump voters, and why Polis is showing support for his policies.
This exact "rebuttal" is exactly the type of response that I am guessing Polis is trying to avoid with his statement.
Anecdotally, I have seen a surprisingly large number of friends who absolutely did not support Trump but have posted in favor of RFK coming in, specifically focusing on the "anti-chemical" idea. I think Polis is thinking that he doesn't want Democrats to be the "pro-chemical" party in voters' minds
I certainly don't think RFK is worth reporting, but I absolutely think this is a pragmatic decision on his part. I've noticed he seems to be focusing on stuff like "chemicals in food" which I think has a far wider consistency of people worried about it than you would think
Not going to sound like that when we see this exact quote 2 million times in the midterm campaign ads that's for sure lmao
Some examples I saw in this vein. These posts are all in the same genre: people posting insane nonsense that makes them look like idiots, simply to get people to comment and yell at them, so they get more "engagement". Every time I opened Threads for a few weeks my whole feed looked like this
If I were you I would keep that up haha, this one is far superior especially after the massive growth and migration over the last few weeks
It's hard to describe in a really short summary without experiencing it but most of the posts the algorithm surfaces are people posting as if their house has a gas leak and it's rotting their brain
You mean you don't enjoy opening up the app to see your feed immediately filled with a hundred people posting stuff like "hey, when your water bottle is empty, do you usually refill it from the toilet tank or the toilet bowl? I told my friends I always use the TANK and they think I'm CRAZY!"
I do think she actually means Threads, the *other* big Twitter replacement, which while supposedly having a huge user base feels like an empty shell of a social media platform with no real useful posts or engagement
Alarming to see a podcaster I enjoy post a picture from very near my house. Was not prepared for this. What do I do
Every barista in America for the last 5 years for some reason
FDR gearing up to join World War 2:
Did you get that absurd black truck they drive around Austin all the time?
Hey its hard to beat Threads when you want to get force fed post after post that was written as if the author was trapped in a room with a gas leak
Makes sense! The Expanse is amazing highly recommend finishing it. And I am nearly done with Mercy of the Gods but so far it looks like they have done it again haha
Did you do Mercy of Gods before starting The Expanse series? Or read it in the middle?
