This is sooo @minakimes.bsky.social keeping us up with the latest news, just 100 years early.
Nov. 14, 1925: From the top of the Seattle Times, an employee does a primitive form of sportscasting: shouting out the latest plays in the University of Washington vs. California football game.

For 50 years, @lyndacarter.bsky.social has been rocking my world as Wonder Woman. Five decades of Kicking Ass and Taking Names and making it look so very Glam! You ARE a wonder, Wonder Woman! #lyndacarter #wonderwoman
Lynda Carter's "Wonder Woman" premiered 50 years ago, on November 7, 1975. (This was the pilot movie, with the first season of the weekly series premiering the next April.) @lyndacarter.bsky.social

Anna Lapwood is doing something Winston Churchill never did-visiting Texas! Her 2 city Texas tour is all sold out and she’s bringing the power and passion of her music to her performances in the same way the PM used to awe audiences with his words. #annalapwood #texas #classical #organ

60 years after the Beatles first played in Dallas, Anna Lapwood is leading a 2nd English Invasion-this time led by the power of the Pipe Organ and her Masterful Playing and Arrangement. Both legs of her Texas Tour are sold out. She is classical music’s bomb diggity! #annalapwood #texas #beatles

Dear #Texas, we are so lucky! 2 shows of Anna Lapwood are inbound! She absolutely is the 💣!!! And she has been slaying all summer-2 packed shows at the Koln Cathedral (and SRO in the streets outside); Overnite Proms, and killing it at the Royal Albert every chance she gets. #dallas #collegestation

On this day in 1775, the Continential Congress didn't have a quorum. #txlege
Sept. 5, 1775: The Continental Congress meets in Philadelphia according to adjournment, but "there not being sufficient to enter upon business,” the body is adjourned until Wednesday the 13th.

When people tell you correctly that the Texas Senate is full of insufferable, entitled, craven, self centered, stupid jackasses who are out of touch with the common man, remember that French politicians have been doing it better, more in style, and for so much longer. #txlege #theFrenchpsst
Sept. 4, 1925: A French panel headed to the U.S. to negotiate on WWI debt is being offered a courtesy supply of champagne from the country's leading vineyards. There is concern that the officials led by Finance Minister Joseph Caillaux would otherwise suffer from Prohibition.

I can’t tell you how much it hurts me that my younger staff will never know about the “Labor Day of Love”, or wondering if Dean and Frank were going to turn up, or running a bake sale and putting the money in the boot of a fireman standing in the middle of a busy intersection. #txlege #mda

Should wearing a Hawaiian shirt to a wargames be known as Bae-ing or Brown-ing? what type of outfit would be known as “going Full Bae”? Maybe we need a article “History of Hawaiian Shirts by Participants in Military Simulations” @sebastianbae.bsky.social @iantb.bsky.social @guws.bsky.social

Dear @texasmonthly.bsky.social ,
This is what a lone cactus looks like in the middle of Central Park in New York City. Do you think it is sad because it is all alone? because Jerry Jones is ruining the Cowboys?

Dear @nytimes.com ,
If you are going to write about NY reporters receiving gratuities from the Adams campaign, the phot byline under the story shouldn’t say the 3 NYT reporters “welcome tips”. I blame Jay Root because he’s from Texas. @nytpitchbot.bsky.social @nytimes.wtf @texastribune.org

John Adams writes perhaps the 1st document preservation letter in American legal history. What can’t this mad, little Massachusetts legal OG do? Legislator, lawyer-simply the bomb diggity! Never been one like him in #txlege
Aug. 19, 1775: The Massachusetts Council endorses a report submitted by John Adams, calling for former Gov. Thomas Hutchinson's correspondence to be preserved, "as they contain documents for history of great moment." 1/2

Perfect @tracesoftexas.bsky.social picture. Cowboy boots, Cut and Shoot, and Floyd Patterson’s black shoes and black socks at weigh in. He passed in 2023, he’d fought both Patterson and Liston, was a schoolteacher, army veteran, elected official and lawyer. www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/c...

I wonder if @nickofferman.bsky.social , actor/woodgod, is related to this younger Offerman actor of days past. Both appear to know the heavy weight of what it like to carry a performance on their own
Aug. 16, 1925: "Eight-year-old George Offerman Jr., playing the leading juvenile role in [the play] 'The Little Poor Man,' has his regular toys, just like other kids, and he wants all the other kids to play with him." (International News Service)

Dear @tacotrail.bsky.social ,

How can we narrow the serious “Giant Bowl of Guacamole Gap” between Texas and New Jersey? Should Texans be concerned about being left behind in these culinary arts?
