One of the oddest things to me is that Texas, this place they all fan-boy about, salivate over and interfere in, is as special as it is bc of its hybridity and involvement with the culture of this supposedly spooky hat.

It’s easy for Barron to say this when his primary claim to fame right now is bravely “saving” his flock from “wokeness.” He should mind his own troubles in our own country, where he fails abysmally
This is so beautiful
This is the Oxyrhynchus Hymn, dated to the late 200s AD. It is the earliest known Christian hymn manuscript with both lyrics and musical notation. A plain English rendering of the surviving words:
“Let all creation be silent.
Let the shining stars be still.
Let the rushing winds and rivers cease.
While we sing to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
let every power answer: Amen, amen.
Strength, praise, and glory forever to God,
the only giver of all good things. Amen, amen.”

A Travis County judge ordered those behind the mailers offering support for transgender youth to answer questions under oath later this week. The Transgender Education Network of Texas, known as TENT, requested the deposition, saying the mailers were worded to appear to come from the organization. texastribune.org/2026/10/28/…
I was so emotional today reading MacIntyre's Dependent Rational Animals for the first time since his death bc he always taught about understanding ourselves and our lives in narrative form. Now I'm reading this for the first time w/the end of his story in my mind.

The first time I read this story, I missed the cop’s insane quote defending himself:
A one-stoplight TX town got in bed with ICE for $$ and started pulling over every other car and detaining Hispanics. 10% of the town is gone now, and businesses are struggling. The town cop has to look over his shoulder in public now.

Basically 2015 onward can be summed up in the words below. Just replace “she” with “they.”
It felt like watching so many people I knew just lose their minds.
I’ve never seen a better distillation of the reasons before this dementia inflected moment from Trump.
Since the preseason started, I’ve been increasingly anxious that something bad might happen to one of the Spurs or that Wemby is hurt or sick or will be. I am a neurotic person, but a lot of times my specific thoughts like this turn out to be right and someone I fear for falls ill or is hurt. I feel this way more each game and maybe it’s me being crazy but maybe it’s just a good idea to pray anyways and pray more broadly too bc so many people are getting hurt in the game.
There’s like a bad and painful energy in the game, and normally these games are competitive but in a fun way and not bleak like the bad and painful energy in the country.

seems to me like elizabeth holmes' strategic approach to the doc was an attempt to leave the audience thinking "holy shit, we wrongfully imprisoned amelia bedelia"
Imagine being the kid whose mom initiated AI led parenting to be able to manage to give you a compliment. God deliver us
The best theory I’ve seen for why this hit so hard, aside from the interest some might have in making it another “basket of deplorables” that is
