@TracesofTexas The boy in the shadows is a man smoking a cigarette.

A man paints a traffic light in Taylor, 1939. In all honesty, it's not one of Russell Lee's best: the subject is kind of blah, we can't see his face, there's no emotional connection, he's anonymous etc... But what I love about it is what's happening in the background. We've got a boy in the shadows in what looks like a boater hat. He's cool, just checking out the scene. Then there's a man with a ladder who looks like he's perhaps repairing the cafe' sign. The man on the bottom right looks like he's carrying a pool cue in a case. What's his story? I think he's going somewhere to hustle somebody. Finally, we have the man on the awning at the far right, leaning out of the photo. He's cut off, so we have no idea what he's doing up there. He's a mystery man. Maybe he was waving. Maybe he was falling. Maybe the century forgot him mid-sentence. We just don't know. But the Chas Stasny Cafe had been around for awhile. I found an article that said the cafe was the victim of a robbery on Dec. 4, 1931. It was a break-in at night and they got 150 dollars worth of cigarettes.

@nikki_nova @ThrillaRilla369 I like my prune juice bubbly...

@ThrillaRilla369 Completely agree with you on that. My answer is also Dr Pepper. I don't understand why people like that crap

What’s the nastiest Soda? The one you still wouldn’t drink, even if it was the last one in the house. I’ll go first: Dr Pepper

@RepJackKimble Nicely done, not sure how many get that Eric Liddell/Chariots of Fire reference.

Too many people have told me that Jesus would have no need of a ballroom. Jesus may be the Prince of Peace but he is also the Lord of the Dance. You have to understand, I believe God made me for a purpose—to serve the American people. But he also made me a dancer and when I am out on the floor I feel his pleasure. Not to support this ballroom would be to hold him in contempt.

@NinaVee I know, I know you weren't really a fan...but Springsteen covering a Bob Dylan song. youtu.be/G3onnJuBS18?si…

To Nina’s Twitter community… I’m so sorry to say that Nina passed away at home on December 28th from an unexpected cardiac event. She loved the interaction of this group. Please keep her in your thoughts.

On quiet days I miss you a little louder. Goodnight.

@LiloTheCorgi Fabulous, Lilo!

My Met Gala era has arrived and I absolutely did not disappoint. Fashion is art, furriends, and I came as a masterpiece✨The snacks were… a little underwhelming for this grand event but I still served looks on those steps. Thoughts? 😅👑 #corgi #corgicrew #MetGala

@cutiieepie6 I'm certain you get your hair cut like that all the time since you are a guy living in Bangladesh.

I’m 44 and I finally went for a short haircut today. But the reactions around me aren’t great at all 😔 Be honest… did I ruin my look?

@juliettekayyem @Miriam2626 It was an amazing finishing kick by Golden Tempo.

I lost the bet but this race was worth it.

@LemonBeagleBeau I know! It kinda sneaks up on you.

It’s morning already??? Have a good day friends!! 🐾 🐶 🐾#livingmybestlife #hydrocephalus #braintumor #heckcancer #pocketbeagle #lemonbeagle #beagle #dogsoftwitter #dogsofx

@svershbow Neither are we

I'm really not emotionally prepared for her to leave tomorrow.

@3YearLetterman @EvelinaHahne @William_Hahne And they have to put together all their own furniture.

@EvelinaHahne @William_Hahne When I see normal Swedish people I look down on them because they don’t have air conditioning and are much, much poorer than we are in America

It's so rare for people to see a normal Swedish family that they think it's Third Reich propaganda when they do.

@svershbow What did you get for yourself? :)

When there's a bagel present

@FlowerFancyPant @saniyafatma1278

@saniyafatma1278 He is beautiful! What state is he in?

Today, our shelter received a one-year-old tuxedo cat who walked in quietly and sat down, almost as if he understood his life was about to change. He didn’t meow. He didn’t panic. He didn’t try to hide. Instead, he gently curled up on a soft bed, his black-and-white coat neat and striking, his paws tucked perfectly beneath him like a tiny gentleman in a suit.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary. And about 8 followers a year, I’m in a roll!

@dieworkwear @KeithNHumphreys So, late next week?

@KeithNHumphreys Yes, I will reveal the answer on the last day of Twitter, posting the magic link here as this ship sinks below the waves.

@weskrantz There are things in life we will just never know.

will the mysteries never end - who could have pulled these shirts off the chair and constructed a den

@3YearLetterman @LilaGraceRose Does Christ have any SEC titles?

@LilaGraceRose Christ is great, but America must always come first

@SundaeDivine @ChaseMadar Ummm, the gentleman's wives might identify another thing they can't find as being a bigger challenge.

@ChaseMadar MAGA's biggest challenge will be finding Iran on a map.

“War is God’s way of teaching Americans geography”

@theliamnissan Sher-ly you are joking?

We lost Sher today
