Hate to break this to you but being a kindergarten teacher is the definition of being a leader and public servant

I’m loving the way THE SLIP makes these pivots between characters.
Earlier, Nathaniel Rothstein got hooked on a sex hotline. And now we pivot to the other end of the telephone, meeting two characters who bring us closer to the date of Nathaniel’s disappearance.
Happy to be featured in the November issue of @TexasHighways as a “Texas author changing the literary landscape” alongside May Cobb, LaToya Watkins and Lawrence Wright. Story by Dina Gachman, photo Marshall Tidrick, in the ring at Lord’s Boxing Gym 🥊

For those of you who weren’t old enough to pay attention when Obama was president, this is the kind of stuff conservatives mean when they say he was the most divisive president in history. Same night Trump said that 98% of Somalis are low IQ and refuse to work, btw.

Tech people want to write it off as "ludditism" but people intuit the oligarchs are buying up the country, the government, the land, and everything while openly disdaining the populace. Fanfic fantasies about tech oligarchs giving us UBI aren't fooling anyone anymore.

I do think you have to understand the data center / tech backlash in the context of anti-democratic tech oligarchs who openly disdain voters and believe (correctly, to a large degree) they can buy the government
Elon Musk has cemented his record as the largest individual political donor in modern American history.
Musk poured $446 million of his own money into this year’s midterm elections, mostly aimed at preserving the Republican Party’s control of Congress. wapo.st/4igb5Kq

These people live in a state that usually votes 40-45% Democrat and have never had to accept that those neighbors are full human beings. It’s going to be a difficult period of adjustment.

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.
An interesting thing about AI types is they seem to have a hard time imagining that anyone could find meaning, purpose or usefulness in a job that is not their job.

It's gettin' real now: Sources tell @quorumreport that the Texas Senate GOP is quietly considering stripping all legislative power from the Lt. Gov. if the Democrat beats Little Gov Patrick: bit.ly/4Bfnnvb #TxLege
