Heard folks on #KUT talking about the Texas Book Festival and all the tents for different kinds of books. There’s a History tent, Biography tent, Memoir tent. Those are the Past Tents. And there’s a Sci Fi tent, Transhumanism tent, and somehow Kurzweil got his own ten? Those are the Future Tents.

🚨Under the deceptive A-F ratings released by Governor Greg Abbott‘s Agency the # of failing TX schools went ⬆️ 240% in 1 yr.
Courts had blocked these grades for being unjust, but the all-Abbott appointed 15th Court reversed.
It’s rigged from top to bottom.
