This is Zoe (currently). She is in a foster home right now - but, hopefully, soon to be in our home. She is from Kerrville Pets Alive but was brought to Austin Pets Alive when they had to make space during the July flood. She is small but has really long legs.❤️
When do I get my $65k raise??
wow
The crossed legs - perfection!
It was a great game - although I thought maybe the ref was actually from San Jose 😠. we have seats across from there!
Or better yet say exactly what you said: this is delusional
When are one of these news folks going to literally laugh out loud on camera and to her face to this bullshit?
oh
byeee. that is all.
The people who live here hate this.
"Liberal states" have become "sanctuary states for abortion tourism" ??? WTF.
Literally none. Zero.
Two words: Ken Paxton
I've been asking the same question. We can't stand this guy.
This will be a nice way to end an absolutely horrible week.
Rep Casar I've followed you since city council (and used to see you at some AFS films). What in the hell are y'all going to do about RFK,jr and this ridiculousness about covid vaccines? I'm 60 years old - I think I'm old enough to be able to think for myself about whether or not I want a vaccine
I checked "Moderna" and then my email confirming the appoint says COVID-19 (MNEXSPIKE 2025-2026 12YR+). I'm hoping that's the right one.
That's what I did, too.
Do they already have the updated vaccine? I'm confused about all of this.
That's one of my worries. Now a doctor has to order a vaccine instead of me deciding for myself that I want a vaccine. And then convince said doctor that I suffer from "physical inactivity" to which her response will be "well, exercise." So RFKjr gets to dictate - drink unpasturized milk instead!
#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
I'm here, too. I saw that stupid bill passed right after I saw that I won't be able to get a covid vaccine this year. They are trying to kill us all.
Oh wow. I love their sound.
I'm going to do that. Thanks. This is ridiculous. Sorry for all the f-ks. I'm just really angry!
puke
During a visit to the Texas Capitol on Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. applauded lawmakers' attempts to make ivermectin more accessible. "I think Americans should have the choice," he said. UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO GET THE NEW COVID VACCINE, amirite?
OMFG these people. I just want a fucking covid vaccine in this ridiculous state. But no - I can't have one even though I'm 60. But I can get stupid cow medicine. WTF?
I'm 60. I want my fucking vaccine. Why can't I decide whether or not I want a fucking vaccine. I'm an adult. This is so fucked.
Seriously. Where are these people?????
JFC if these "news" people could simply interrupt the lies with corrections - imagine where we would be right now? JFC.
Thank you for writing this story. I appreciate it so much. This is so tragic.
Right???
I don't allow them anymore.
Yes - I've seen ruby-throated and black-chinned. There are supposed to be several others, but in town here those are the only ones I've seen.
Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally: "Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."
OMG. I love this so much. These photos and videos are spectacular! Our hummingbirds (Austin,Tx) are starting to leave little by little... July was AMAZING. We are still getting several every day - esp in evening. But the numbers are much smaller now. Headed to Mexico.
Exactly. Also, thanks for saying it in language I completely understand.
OMG she is gorgeous!!!
I've taken every shot - since the very first time they were available. I am 60 with hbp. My husband and myself are two of the only people I know that have NOT gotten covid or anything covid-like. I want my f-ing shot.
Your post makes you sound dumb.
Same. And I got a spam email today (at my edu address) entitled "Try GPT-5 for free" with a link. Sigh.
Speaking my language...
YES! Thank you - a great article.
I need the cliff notes version.
aargh... it's only for the original, not the vertuo. No wonder I haven't tried it. Very sad.
Dumbest thread I've ever wasted time reading.
oooh... I've not had istanbul espresso, but that sounds AMAZING.
where is this, my friend? Beautiful, amazing shots!!!!
"Joint Task Force Empire Shield"??? What the actual f is that? Are these the guys that were sworn in today as civil police or something (my mind is literally mush after all that has happened today here in tx)?
Sad to see my rep go - but also love Casar. So who is going to run in the newly drawn 35th? I can't just see it as a shoe-in for an R. ?
OMG. As if he has ever eaten at one. He's just a loser.
Lies.
It is unbelievable that we have to experience this almost daily. Awful. My required - "active shooter" training (a video) will help me do exactly zero in a situation like this. Walking into class thinking "will this be the day someone slaughters us all" is not healthy.
But not the charge, right?
I already hated him enough. But beating the dog? Yes - burn, fucker.
She is really so stupid.
I love how non-historians talk about slavery as if they actually know something because they saw "Roots" as a kid. JFC let us do our jobs.
Oh, ffs. We are living in literal hell.
I live here and it is INDEED a threat to democracy - I have been silenced. Now my rep (Doggett) will have to face another great rep (Casar) in a primary for a single seat. WAPO is a piece of crap "newspaper."
"Good riddance to good garbage" - I heard that once and it just popped into my head.
Thank you. We are suffocating here.
THANK YOU for your hard work.
Sorry - you just click on that (I'm so angry I can't even post things).
Scroll down to comments - there is a clip. bsky.app/profile/fact...
She was just told it was a FELONY to be talking on the phone with Corey Booker, the DNC head, and Newsom. They were on a call on CSPAN I think.
I want to like this 1000 times!
Sigh. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
Yes, unfortunately. I looked up the podcast and there she was.
(cont'd) “You cannot tie imperialism and racism and slavery to just one race, which is pretty much what every single exhibit does,” Michaels said, adding: “Every single thing is like, ‘Oh, no, no, no, this is all because White people bad,’ and that’s just not the truth.” OMFG
"on CNN’s NewsNight with Abby Phillip, where Jillian Michaels, podcast host of “Keeping it Real,” recently defended Trump, saying “he’s not” whitewashing slavery....
Also - um, wtf does Jillian Michaels know about the history of slavery (or anything except - nutrition?). That she was on Abby Phillip's show on CNN to discuss this - ridiculous.
I had to stop after reading he "livestreamed his own sex videos." I just don't have the stomach for it today.
Yes - but anything with trash pandas is good for my well-being!
WHERE is this trampoline? I want to live there.
This is so sickening. I'm so sorry.
MJ, go fuck yourself.
Puke.
I am so sorry this is happening to your program!
No, you dried up old pickle face - you are the cancer.
A thread on transcription and AI. One reason I don't use AI to transcribe (besides the fact that AI is hugely detrimental to the environment & is coming for our jobs) is that it can't tell the difference between original documents & new notes added by staff members to whom documents were sent. 🗃️ 1/?
It is the same place - sorry deleted my original comment because I had posted it before reading the article.

I never heard of it - until I got it. Debilitating (especially sleep deprivation because it is almost impossible to get comfortable in bed). www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a6551...
Maybe they were golden raisins?
Who is this adorable pup?
Oh, a paralegal. Thanks for that clarification. "Assaulting" with a sandwich. He threw it into his bullet proof vest! Wow.
DOJ lawyer - fired by Bondi for the incident; described him as part of "the deep state."
I don't know how to copy someone's post... but I reposted the video of the arrest (so ridiculous) - so you can click on my name to see it.
Exactly. And did you see the WH video of the arrest of the guy who threw the sandwich? As if he couldn't have just turned himself in - they needed to cosplay.
And I do realize the seriousness of this - that the federal government is doing such fascist bullshit. But these videos. Geez.
so much theater. Helmets, vests, shields, masks, drawn weapons = a gathering of micro-penises.
I love your columns! Especially when you put things in important historical context. Thank you.
I'm about half way through Chapter 3 right now... EXCELLENT!
It's also private property - not state and certainly not federal.
OMG. I wouldn't even know what box to check.
Same.
Idiot. cbsaustin.com/news/local/b...
I've said it before on here - I truly appreciate all of the Constitutional lawyers/law professors on here educating the public (myself included, someone who is not a constitutional expert).
What a literal piece of shit.
She hasn't quite detached yet from her Fox host role, obviously.
