The Texas Senate on Tuesday rejected all of Attorney General Ken Paxton’s efforts to dismiss the articles of impeachment against him, moving forward with the first removal proceeding against a statewide elected official in more than a century.
The pretrial motions required a majority vote. The most support a motion to dismiss received was 10 out of 30 senators.
No, this is almost definitely it.
Tech companies are already done with texas’s shit with a lot of the companies that tried to shift to texas going back to states where they have working power and their staff aren’t stressed out over human rights violations.
And just look at desantis and the other losers. trump style “masks off” bigotry only really works for trump. Everyone else loses interest pretty fast and start looking at “moderate” republicans. Which is an increasing concern as texas shifts to “purple”. Because texas is not going to elect anyone competent. But they might elect a sinema-esque DINO
So throw a few people under the bus and use that to make people believe “it is getting better” as you continue to smear shit on yourself.
This made my brain generate a picture of someone standing naked before a horrified crowd and moaning out, “It’s getting better!” as they smear feces on their body.
There’s probably a Burning Man joke in there, but since I know that like 85% of attendees are just artists and festival people and not elite tech bros i kinda feel bad for that whole situation
Yeah, it must be a bummer to get rained out like that. I did a bunch of big Maker Faire for many years, and Burning Man had some appeal, but I don’t like being dirty enough to get over that hurdle to attend. And I’m too broke now anyway.
Also I have an old VW camper and the alkaline playa dirt would really hurt it. (In fact I think the previous owner did go there a few times, the lock tumblers were jammed full of fine powder when I got it).
