I have one very large tote bag, put all my groceries in it, and sling it over my shoulder. I could never go back to these tiny flimsy plastic bags

Iraan, TX is a real place, though it’s pronounced “Ira-Ann.”

Iraan is the second largest town in the second largest county in the second largest state in the United States, which is the second largest country in North America.

“We’re Number 2!”

Looks like they got Iraan, TX correct

There’s literally a species of laurel native to Mexico that indigenous Americans used in their food for thousands of years.

Bay leaves come from various plants and are used for their distinctive flavour and fragrance. The most common source is the bay laurel (Laurus nobilis). Other types include California bay laurel, Indian bay leaf, West Indian bay laurel, and Mexican bay laurel.

It would also task the Justice Department’s antitrust division, which brings civil suits to quash alleged anticompetitive practices, with enforcing the law.

The 1936 USSR Constitution was immediately followed by The Great Purge and only lasted 40 years

Does anyone have the numbers on how many people in the US received any sort of gender affirming surgery prior to age 18 in the past decade? I’m going to guess that number is 0.000015% of the population or less.

How many teenage girls got boob jobs with their parent’s permission during that period?

I live in Austin, and I probably see 1-3 Cybertrucks per day. I used to feel deep vicarious shame for them, but that’s slowly transformed into speechless incredulity

Very early on, I think there were some well-meaning people who were really excited about it. The idea of an all-electric truck was brand new, and the promise was huge. It unfortunately wasn’t until after many Cybertruck preorders had been secured that Elon plainly revealed his true colors, and then after it was delivered that people found out it was a piece of garbage

Mistakes and regrets are a fundamental part of how we grow as people. What you learn from them and how much attention you give them later (e.g. letting go vs. dwelling in shame or anxiety) are what really matter

she had a valid visa

I’m sorry, did you miss this part?

No one’s claiming black and brown people aren’t disproportionately targeted by law enforcement. I’m saying the argument that “no one cares when it’s a brown person” is patently false, and that the government-sponsored murders that occur on video are the ones that elicit a strong reaction, regardless of skin color.

Rodney King being brutally assaulted by LAPD was also caught on film, and it also made huge waves nationwide. Two of those officers went to prison and Rodney King was awarded $4 million in damages

I get where you’re coming from, but your argument is completely undermined by the fact that this murder wasn’t captured on video (in addition to only finding out about it 11 months later). The video really is everything. You might recall another person murdered by government officials on video by the name of George Floyd, a black man, whose murder made some pretty serious waves.

He’s always been a caricature of himself, but he’s being a caricature even more bigly these days. He’s becoming further removed from reality by the day

How much money was spent?

I think that’s a huge leap. Talarico’s positions are way left of the Democratic establishment, why would they be more “scared” of Crockett than him? He’s got Zionist groups actively campaigning against him because he’s forthright about the Gaza genocide. He’s setting his campaign up against the wealthy and openly criticizing the Democratic party’s subservience to wealthy donors. There just isn’t that much difference between their political positions, and I don’t get your angle.

Here’s a recent headline:

Texas Jewish voters alarmed by James Talarico’s Israel rhetoric

Local leaders said that, without improved outreach from Talarico to address their concerns, they’re likely to vote for Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary

I agree, though after listening to both of them a bunch, I’m supporting Talarico in this election. I hope to continue to see Crockett’s star rise though

He’s not on the ballot…
