Lots of folks are talking about Texas right now. But if you're not from here, you might have missed an important angle: Texas schools. 🧵

Did @NorahODonnell just say that @GinaHinojosaTX could be Texas’s first Hispanic governor? I guess that’s true if we don’t count the Hispanic presidents before annexation but y’all aren’t ready to have that conversation.

If you're in Dallas and you witness a federal election monitor, contact me on Signal at stevanzetti.12
I would like to monitor the monitors
Trump's Justice Department announced it is sending about 1,000 "election monitors" to polling places in all 50 states

Someone told me to "vote according to Biblical values!"
So I voted for welcoming immigrants, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, and loving all our neighbors.

Reminder for MAGA Christen voters: When you vote for the "lesser" evil (as you rationalize it) so you can "save babies" ... you're literally saying "I'm ok with children being raped if it saves a baby."
And your last vote directly raised abortion numbers 21%, nationally.

Cheesecake Factory populism is so weird to me because the rise of chain restaurants created over-the-top, replicable dining experiences, which eventually put the final squeeze on mom-and-pop restaurants, such as the US version of trattorias. I would argue those family-owned neighborhood businesses made the dining experience feel more special and pulled communities together. The shift to chain restaurants homogenized American life and concentrated corporate power. Strange to frame corporate consolidation as "populism."

Today is a mathematical date we won't see again for 78 years.
10/24/26
10² + 24² = 26²
It's called a Pythagorean Triple Day. There are infinitely many Pythagorean triples, but only 12 dates this century satisfy the equation.Today is the last.
Next one: March 4, 2105.

The IRS doesn't do nudges. Miss your RMD and the penalty is 25% of what you should have taken. Not 25% of the tax. 25% of the distribution. Deadline's Dec 31. Clock's ticking.

One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting many Christians to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires and empathy more than cruelty.

Esto es espectacular. En el último partido de Noruega, se hizo viral un pelado que estaba entre la multitud y se negó a hacer el "Remo" con sus compatriotas.
El canal de TV Sky News lo encontró y le preguntó por qué no lo hacía:
"Es muy sencillo. Los vikingos no remaban en el Atlántico, sino que navegaban. Es una celebración históricamente imprecisa. Estoy muy contento que mi mensaje haya tenido eco para corregir ese error. Seguiré apoyando a Noruega pero nunca voy a remar, ni siquiera si somos Campeones".
Lo mejor es que el pelado tiene sus remos colgados atrás, en su habitación. El experto en remos. El alma la fiesta. Un crack.

If your retirement plan holds American Century One Choice target-date funds, assume you are on a list. A dozen-plus ERISA class actions have hit plans holding this single suite since January. The pace is climbing, not slowing.
