@oscarbalmen The ones who ask why you mention your sexual orientation are answering their own questions by taking the time to ask. I am gay. And that very much defines me. Thank you for this post!

Si acaso fui poco claro: soy homosexual, investigo crimen organizado y pese a las amenazas de muerte no me hago hacia atrás. Yo al frente siempre. Yo sigo hasta donde tope y mi orientación sexual sí me define: soy gay, valiente, cabrón y resistente.

@NoahMF Before the term "Art Deco" was coined in the late 1960s, that style would have been called Modern or Modernist. A QR code is certainly modern!

Is it good news or bad news for Houston that the mighty Gulf Building, the art deco jewel Houston built to herald its arrival as a major city, now has a QR code atop it?

@richcohen2003 I was Betamax, Elvis Costello, and Frusen Glädjé (particularly Swiss Almond which got me through 1987, the hottest summer of my life).

Don’t listen to me. I picked Betamax over VHS, Graham Parker over Elvis Costello and Frusen Glädjé over Häagen-Dazs.

@av @whoinvitedjon They are in every grocery store in the US I've ever been to. I have one half-squeezed tube in the fridge right now with another full one as emergency backup.

@whoinvitedjon Hard agree. Why do I always have to put the remaining half into a glass jar and cover it with olive oil when we could've just started out with a smaller can? The squeeze tubes are a superior form factor but harder to find in the US.

I want smaller cans of tomato paste. Can we have a vote on that?

@mttztries If he's the grandson of failed chanteuse and confessed murderess Angela Arden, it would explain a lot. "I'm in no mood for your patented brand of bitchery"

kind of fascinating how quickly the chatter around Michael Arden has gone from "he's the best director working right now" to "does this guy even know how to direct a musical"

@DADiClementi Usually the killers were man-hating lesbians, so she was a refreshing change.

Patricia Highsmith did like to make gay men killers, LOL! Strangers, Ripley, etc. Highsmith and Judy Holliday had an affair when they were young. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #StrangersOnATrain

@atrupar "In 2 weeks"

Acting AG Todd Blanche: "We're finding out some incredibly troubling things, and at some point, at the right time, that will be made public and the American people will see exactly what happened to this administration and President Trump over the past decade."

@TXHappens The possessive form is Texas's.

Shiner Bock is one of Texas’ most recognized beers. 🍺 Brewed by the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas, the company was founded by German and Czech immigrants in 1909. Originally a seasonal beer brewed for Lent, Shiner Bock became available year-round due to its popularity. Its smooth, slightly malty flavor helped it grow from a regional favorite to a nationally distributed Texas brand. Visitor Tip: Order Shiner Bock at a Texas barbecue restaurant to enjoy a pairing locals appreciate. #ShinerBock #TexasBeer #LoneStarBrew #TexasHeritage 🍺⭐

@end3of6days9 Anyone taller than 6'6" would benefit from an Alaska King or a custom-made mattress . It's not about the width for some people.

This couple just unboxed their very first Alaskan King bed and it is next-level massive! Many people have never even heard of this size before. Most know California Kings, but an Alaskan King takes things to a whole new level. For reference, a standard king mattress measures 76 inches wide by 80 inches long. An Alaskan King, however, measures a full 108 inches by 108 inches — that’s 9 feet by 9 feet! This leaves the question… is the Alaskan King becoming a new trend, or have these giant beds been around longer? And why would anyone need something this big — extra room for kids and pets to pile in, or simply because bigger really is better? Would you consider getting a bed this large? It’s hard to imagine having to make this bed up every day or on laundry day 😭

@BayouBikeyBoi You mean that pink granite building on the north end of Congress, not the city of Austin. If such a league were formed, the City of Austin would be one of its main members since the Leg loves to stick it to its host city.

Why don’t Houston, Beaumont, Brownsville, and Corpus from some kind of Texas Hanseatic League to bully Austin into giving us more stuff?

@Drea_got_banned @electionsjoe Amen! It's only May!

@electionsjoe This is really the most pussy account on this app. You're literally being a little bitch about something every damn day. 🙄 Dems need to purge this spineless apathy from the ranks

Florida is so gone for Dems

@butleriano This is why Lubbock is one of the largest red cities in the country.

All the Texas suburbs you’ve actually heard of are blue now. Chuds all live in like places that had 32 people in the 2000 census called Genocide Creek or Jim Crow Station.

@sammiecarrots Agreed!

Struck anytime I have to be in Austin and San Antonio on the same day how much better the Vibe is in SATX … maybe I’m biased as a borderlander but I feel like the greatness of Texas cities is proportional to how much Spanish you need to speak to get around

@jamesrambin Beloved local figure? Not really... I was there and that is not the word I would use. I didn't know anyone who thought he was anything other than slightly nuts.

completely forgotten to people under a certain age that when this movie came out alex jones was a beloved local figure among the vaguely progressive crunchy austin counterculture, like dennis kucinich bumper sticker bouldin creek cafe chronicle readers. hard to explain now

@dwate12 @AnonCb123 @Joey_Gentile Who cares tho.

@AnonCb123 @Joey_Gentile It’s more like going out of your way to keep covered even though it’s far easier to just change normally.

Men who use a towel to hide while changing in a locker room… why do you do that?

@Joey_Gentile Why is this anyone's business? If you want to use a towel, then do. If you don't want to use a towel, then don't.

@corndog__1776 @welivedhappily @atrupar That doesn't change the fact that it was the Heritage Foundation plan. Obama and Pelosi knew what they could get done with what they had.

@essay210 @welivedhappily @atrupar But it's literally called Obamacare... after Obama... His keystone piece of legislation.

GILLIBRAND: What is your record?! I don't want to just hear about what you don't like about the Biden administration SCOTT TURNER: During the Biden administra-- GILLIBRAND: Stop talking about Biden! Talk about your record TURNER: During the Biden administration-- GILLIBRAND: Oh my God!

@corndog__1776 @welivedhappily @atrupar Yes, because ACA is the Heritage Foundation plan that Pelosi knew would be able to pass. It has needed to be updated since it was voted in. Every Democrat talks about this all the time. Problem is that we have not had a filibuster-proof Senate since then.

@welivedhappily @atrupar Why would we need healthcare reform after ACA? Is ACA broken?

@corndog__1776 @atrupar WE TALK ABOUT OUR PLATFORM ALL THE TIME!

@atrupar In the same vein I think dems need to move past their Trump hatred and tell us more about their platform. Why should we vote for dems. They have done a very poor job of advertising their platform, probably because it's woke and shitty but eventually dems need appeal to voters.
