Happy World Wildlife Day! Today, we're celebrating a big win for our reptile zoologists. For the first time ever at the Zoo, the team has successfully bred Burmese star tortoises, and we're thrilled to share we have 3 hatchlings! Come visit them in the Herpetarium nursery.

Serious Q: If you aren’t supposed to talk about sex or gender in classrooms how do you explain to elementary kids “covet thy neighbors wife” or “committing adultery”? “Adult” is in the word. How about “thy shall not be hypocrites?” #txlege

These adorable Galveston 2-flat duplexes scream Hyde Park to me, but are very very not allowed. The 4 dwellings in the yellow and blue are required to be one large home. Which is fine if you want and can afford that. But blocking this is sad to me.

give me one good reason why you could build this duplex on a 2,580 square foot lot in galveston 143 years ago but the current code in nearly every austin neighborhood makes it illegal

Pleasantly surprised by these pro-family bills that help new mothers and babies. Finally *real* prolife legislation…but then I see grassroots conservatives and party hacks are mad because it actually helps women and children and isn’t some repressive partisan nonsense. #txlege

I am proud to announce the first slate of Texas House priorities for the legislative session — these 4 bills are great starting points for our chamber, and I thank Reps. @VoteGiovanni, @RepToniRoseTX, @ShelbySlawson & @DonnaHowardTX for filing them. Let’s get to work! #txlege

State Rep. @CarrieIsaac's statement on her bill proposing a ban on polling places at college campuses:
She said she filed it to "protect places of education" where "children and young people" are. She also plans to file a bill to remove polling places from K-12 schools. #txlege

If you ever wonder where GOP racial politics is headed or comes from just check . Soon Black History Month will be considered CRT, but they’ll still celebrate Confederate “heroes” Day in Texas.

Anyone who thought Ukraine should “negotiate” with Russian invaders should read this. They are already looking to expand their assault to Poland and Moldova. Stopping 🇷🇺 in 🇺🇦 is how we prevent WWIII.

If the U.K. gives Ukraine fighter jets, there will be consequences for Europe and the entire world, the Russian embassy threatened on Feb. 8.Show this thread
this has been said by others but calling all new housing “luxury” is just repeating marketing copy from developers. it’s remarkable how many people that care about affordability do this constantly. the most luxury housing in the city is single family homes on large lots.

This is what Russian assets consider “liberation”…a city without people or habitable buildings. Ru wouldn’t have to “rebuild” a city if they didn’t bomb it first.

Since liberating Mariupol from Ukraine's Azov Nazi thugs, Russia has rebuilt the city. It looks far safer than the streets of America's major cities. twitter.com/i/status/16204

People cheering Dark Brandon because we shot down that Chinese spy balloon but if Trump were still President we wouldn’t have to because he would have already built the wall.

Interesting how when it comes to race and the GOP they can’t site anything more recent than reconstruction. Mayra, I t’s the 21st century. #BlackHistoryMonth

Republicans elected Hiram Revels, the first black Senator in 1870. Democrats didn't elect their first black Senator until 1992. Seems like Republicans are on the right side of history.

First gas stoves, then your coffee, now they're gunning for your Xbox. theblaze.com/news/xbox-ener
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The official Xbox blog post that is quoted in the article:
news.xbox.com/en-us/2023/01/…
The Xbox Series consoles are not “gunned.” They are getting an update on their existing shutdown feature that will consume less power at the cost of slower start up time. Users can still switch to “sleep” mode.

Lots of right wingers promoting appeasement and calling it negotiation. We’re preventing WWIII by arming Ukraine and giving China second thoughts on attacking Taiwan.

Texas’ wind industry leads the nation, we’re no. 2 in solar…this displeases Chip Roy.
Quote Tweet
Yes, and unless we prioritize reliable, dispatchable generation (not 80%+ unreliable solar, wind, battery) we guarantee MORE vulnerability and volatility for the grid
Not to mention dependence on China and a host of grid security issues…
