Rest in Peace Tom Skerritt.
Mr Skerritt was a personal favorite. In particular I enjoyed the tv series Picket Fences in which he was one of the leads.
He was always great in whatever he did.
The cult classic ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, Richard O’Brien, Patricia Quinn, Charles Gray, Nell Campbell, and Meat Loaf time warped into cinemas in Italy fifty years ago this week (September 1976) 💍 🎶 ⚡️ #OTD

Dearest Texans,
Are you ‘done bitching’?
I’d be quite unhappy with ‘representation’ that has that large a (bull?) chip on their shoulder.
The arrogance. The hubris.
I’m ashamed he’s a human.
I'll go to Cancun when Texans are freezing & dying without power in a storm & Ken Paxton ran off like I did to warmer climates, but Texans
"stop your bitching"
Voting for Ted Cruz/Ken Paxton, is Texans asking to be kicked in the balls regularly.
Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment.

Just in case anyone finds it interesting.
Solar panels on football stadiums make perfect sense.
The next question: how long until we see parking lots everywhere covered with solar canopies too?

🔥 TEXAS: “Registered voters in Tarrant County has increased 30% — to be closing polling stations is blatant voter suppression… when I joined the Navy, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic…Talking to you, Comrades."
If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon.

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC:
“Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so.
We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."
A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
South Korea built solar panels over highway medians and turned the space underneath into protected bike lanes. Clean energy + safe cycling, using infrastructure that already exists.
"I think for women in the culture the pendulum will come back again, and there'll be another renaissance to push back against the oppression of the cranky old rich white guys. I hope I am alive to see that next revolution."
Nancy Wilson (of Heart)
Born into poverty during peak Jim Crow, Ray Charles stood against the system that sought to keep him destitute. He famously fought against segregation until the state that banned him apologized & made his song their state anthem.
Brother Ray loved America & made her better as a result.
