Thirty point swing to Democrats deep in the heart of Texas.
Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less

I was at the park once. Two bros started spitting ice at each other from several paces away, while the other would catch it in his own mouth. They did this with the same piece of ice several times then switched.
Once their girl-shaped companions showed up they quit but there was genuine love there.

Randomly dropping myself into Google street view can lead to some suprisingly fascinating moments.

It me. Me got the job.
It's wild how you can meet someone on a dating app and end up married and happy eleven years later. Like, it's a thing you do on your phone to ask strangers, "Hi, would you like to fall in love and be each other's constant companion eventually?" and then there's an interview process

It's funny how researching architecture for my space western book has made me hate Henry VIII that much more for his dissolution of the monastaries.

This annual marathon reading of Moby-Dick under giant actual whale skeletons in New Bedford is so awesome, if you ever get a chance to go
We are 16 hours into the Moby Dick reading marathon. It’s 4:44am and the coffee station ran out of cups. 😬 The read aloud session in the auditorium is piped in from a speaker.
