Ann Richards is sorely missed, along with Liz Smith, Molly Ivins-- and Barbara Jordan...
The Texas Quote of the Day:

"I get a lot of cracks about my hair, mostly from men who don't have any. "

An excellent discussion.

The only thing standing in the way of Trump and his unhinged policies are the 23 Democratic Attorneys' General who together are devoted to the protection of the rule of law and to putting the Trump Administration out of the lawlessness business. Popok interviews the AGs.

No one is safe from Trump’s retribution

Even the most powerful public officials are at risk of prosecution

Fortunately the courage of folks like @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, @replamonica.bsky.social and Judge Dugan is contagious and inspiring others to follow their lead

This was at Wizard World in Austin. My friend came to town for my birthday and we went to see David, Peter Capaldi and, I think, Alex Kingston was there, too. Then we hung out on Sixth Street as Pecan Street Festival was going on. It was a busy day in Downtown Austin. David was showing off his socks

Actors can be nuts, man. A dude (André Tchaikowsky) left his skull to the Royal Shakespeare Company to play Yorick in future productions. No one felt comfortable doing it until David Tennant played Hamlet.

Turns out that the reminder from Congressional Democrats that members of the military shouldn’t follow illegal orders was timely. Read the details here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Texas’ new $3 billion dementia research fund is temporarily blocked and on hold after three voters filed a lawsuit, claiming the voting machines used in the election last month were faulty.

Under Texas law, constitutional amendments cannot take effect if the election results face legal challenges.

Courtney Santana's debut album, "Living Through it All," will tell the story of the abuse she endured.

The trials that followed to land back on her feet is what led her to start a nonprofit organization aimed at helping people in similar situations find emergency housing and resources.

Something random I'm rather proud of: After finally putting together enough to obtain a telephoto lens, I've managed to find an eastern screech owl, and entire nest of ospreys, and a nesting pair of bald eagles in the span of the year!

A great-horned owl still eludes me, but maybe next year
