    Wrote a piece in the Houston Chronicle this morning. Texas is way too lax on polluters.

    Classic.

    "Just because you put on a fucking safari helmet and looked at some poop.." is one of my favorite lines. "Continue."

    Amen.

    I don’t understand the obsession with “Proud Boys”. Gavin McInnes, a living, breathing aberration of a Generation X stereotype, created a subculture to contribute to the high school cafeteria of the public discourse. Identify the grift, laugh it off, and move on.

    I sometimes used to root for the "bad guys." Not really, but you know what I mean. The whole thing was so voyeuristic and exploitative.

    That TV show “Cops” helped create the police problem we have today by glorifying the warrior, violent mentality so common among American police. Now we need a popular TV show dedicated to police abuses and the fights to deal with our out of control cops. ?

    Can’t wait to read that one.

    Any other parents frustrated that Houston’s boring, lawyer-proof playgrounds have been taped off for months want to talk to me for a story about why cities should rethink the kind of play our children need in the first place?

    I getcha. Don’t worry, I’m not gonna vote for Trump over it.

    I'm not thinking of it as a slogan but as a necessity of what needs to be done.

    I think Build Back Better sounds dopey and derivative

    Replying to @michaelcoleman
    Big difference. America wasn't a mess when MAGA became the slogan. Now it needs building back.

    Can’t really argue.

    “Build back better” is just “MAGA” but it sounds dumber and it’s less effective.

    I’m still laughing at his WHCD takedown of this fool. Unfortunately, that’s probably what drove Trump to run.

    What just reported on CNN: Obama is still editing his speech, his most blistering address against Trump yet. "He will not hold back, a person close to Obama said, as he decided this moment was urgent enough to break with protocol in going after a sitting president."

    Can’t wait to hear the love story of how Melania met Trump.

    I knew it was just a matter of time. Sounds like I’m too late.

    We have a bunch of wealthy pple moving to . Coronavirus refugees. They are snapping up home quickly & driving up prices. This further exacerbated our already crappy housing situation where working class pple can’t afford a home much less rent most times.

    Why does Texas need a strong state environmental agency? shows you why. Houston is exposed to more toxic emissions than the five other largest metropolitan areas combined.

    Donald is a loser. He’s cheating because if he doesn’t cheat he knows he will lose.
