Werner Herzog visiting a county fair
Sights and sounds during the lunch rush: Ella Langley plays overhead as the dirtiest Joe Dirt with the most wretched mullet I’ve ever seen chomps down eggs and hash browns. A couple sits across me at the bar with matching teal racing tshirts. Some guy just looked at me and smirked like he knew what was up and was thoroughly entertained. Dudes with shoulder-length hair almost outnumber the ladies with it. A man with a fanny pack bounds toward his newly opened table.

I saw The Troglodytic Reprobates open for Queens of the Stone Age at the Toledo Sports Arena back in 2006
Come for the parsing of Texas Republicans' statements on the fate of the #txlege House, stay for the "troglodytic reprobates."

The TV Networks (specifically Fox and ABC) are refusing to run this ad for @SavingCollSprts today during the games.
No good reason given as to why - just ignoring us or telling us to contact their attorneys. The General Council for one major network told me it was a “business FTER we’d sent them a large wire to pay for the ads!
Why would the networks want to silence a legitimate debate around an issue that affects hundreds of thousands of kids and is existentially threatening to women’s sports and Olympic sports? What is the “business reason” that overrides the benefit and enjoyment that college sports provide to tens of millions of Americans?
What are they hiding??
If there was ever a question that money, control, and greed are being prioritized over student athletes, fans, and communities…Here you go!!
We all knew that the current situation in college sports seemed very slimy and was driven by people who couldn’t care less about the common good…. But we had no idea how bad it truly is!!
It’s become obvious…We have to drain the swamp that College Sports have become!!
This fight isn’t about me, and it certainly isn’t about TV ads - it’s much bigger. It’s about doing what is right and necessary to save a great American institution. I promise that I won’t stop fighting until we are successful in solving this problem, and I know I can count on many of you to join me!

"Grandpa, what's it like trying to earn a living in a non-right-to-work state?"

A beautiful obituary on the most fascinating woman and "got here as soon as I could" Texan I've met in this great state. May her memory be a blessing.

In the SCOTUS opinions released today, Justices Sotomayor and Jackson seem to be locked in a to-the-death struggle of who can be the greater policy advocate and less of an actual jurist. RBG would be proud of their (non)performance.

A tremendous achievement for all involved, and a great write-up from @TheTexanNews' @hollyshansen! The margin is a testament to the work @GregAbbott_TX, @joanhuffman, Chair Smithee, and countless others put into getting this done right.
