Are we talking about Miami Oklahoma, Missouri, New Mexico, Arizona, Indiana, Missouri, West Virginia, or the 5 towns in Ohio? Texas has a lot of split attention. I think the city people outside of Texas know the most about is Austin, but it's not a very big city and its profile is probably more because of the media Austin has access to rather than anything else, much like how most of people's awareness about LA is just the entertainment industry. Houston is the biggest city, and even one of the biggest cities in the dang country, but it doesn't seem to come up much outside of its relation to NASA. Dallas I think is the one that people around the country are most likely to actually to be taught about in school, and it's a pretty big city, but it's not like anybody knows about any local flavor (in fact, I'm not sure I know much about its local flavor), and practically nobody knows that it's pretty tightly linked with a whole other city in a whole metroplex system that includes the theme park with the dancing old man commercial. I think the overall strength state identity overcomes any of the city identities in people's minds, in a reverse of New York.

The Austin metro area is around the same size as Miami, but I think Miami wins because it isn't infested with Californians SlothfulCobra posted:Dallas I think is the one that people around the country are most likely to actually to be taught about in school, and it's a pretty big city, but it's not like anybody knows about any local flavor (in fact, I'm not sure I know much about its local flavor) The city spent the entirety of the 70s, 80s, and 90s aggressively squashing any local flavor in favor of attracting business, which made it the bland office park surrounded by a ring of wine mom neighborhoods it is today

Remember when Rick Perry required girls to get a HPV vaccine? And how HPV doesn't suffocate you to death a week after you get it? Why can't we have that happen again?

Because it's important that cervical cancer remain as a negative consequence of sex because sex is bad and it's better that women get cancer than have sex outside of wedlock 2. Because Perry's wife was closely connected to the company and he was probably only pushing it for corrupt reasons

I got my second vaccination last week at the motor speedway. I accidentally showed up on wednesday because I was reading the text from the first shot and there was nobody there, I guess they were closed because they were worried about the coming hail. but I showed up the next morning and got my vaccine while it was still wet out. And they tell you the second vaccine can hit you harder, but I wasn't expecting the massive fever it gave me the next morning. Jeez. And then there was a headache that came back the next day even after the fever was gone. And I'm not really sure if I'm feeling at my prime now either, because it all blurs together with how muggy and humid the weather has been. It's weird. I don't know whether it was good or bad that the one day I had a severe fever was the one day that the weather was actually cold. jokes posted:Remember when Rick Perry required girls to get a HPV vaccine? And how HPV doesn't suffocate you to death a week after you get it? Because their pisslord decreed that the pandemic was a conspiracy against him, and even though he's definitively fallen from grace, all of their political base already got rolling on their own wave of pro-disease junk, and nobody in the party is going to try stopping them for the sake of humanity in general.

I just had my second dose on Saturday. Couldn't sleep all night because of the arm pain. Spent all of Sunday with massive joint pain, especially in my legs. It's subsiding today, but my back is still really tense. Never had a fever. It really feels like one of those awful 24 flus that completely knocks you out, and your boss is thinking you are taking it, but there is nothing worth going to the doctor for.

I think it was "Get rid of the tents" vs "Get rid of the tents but replace them with an actual, sustainable plan to aid the homeless" but that wasn't on the ballot so you just had to vote no because it's hosed up to criminalize being homeless. But no one thought that public camping was a good solution, just that it was better than police constantly harassing people.

I think that's correct. It looks like ~43% voted against reinstating the ban so if an alternative had been on the ballot it would have had a chance.

It's all to protect people from their own elected officials. Only state government is legitimate: federals are tyrants and locals are rubes or liberals. https://twitter.com/PatrickSvitek/status/1389563760906539010 How is Cornyn the least popular elected official in Texas? The attorney general is nakedly corrupt! Ted Cruz very publicly fled the state in the middle of a crisis?

zoux posted:https://twitter.com/PatrickSvitek/status/1389563760906539010 Cornyn's in the uncanny valley of right-wing awfulness, just obnoxious enough to offend most non-Republicans and yet not obnoxious enough to fully satisfy the chuds. At least Ted understands now that if you're gonna make a career entirely out of "owning the libs", you've got to do it with gusto and verve or not at all. (Though Ted realized that a bit too late to really maximize his potential, and he'll never do it as well as Trump or the guy who will take over from Trump, which will not be Ted Cruz.) The Paxton one is the most embarrassing, seems you can be the most openly corrupt* attorney general in the country and the vast majority of the state hasn't even heard about you or doesn't give a poo poo as long as you're partisan enough. * shoutout to the South Dakota AG who mowed down a pedestrian, fled to evade a sobriety test, and claimed he thought he hit an animal despite the dead guy's glasses being found in his car Blotto_Otter fucked around with this message at 15:02 on May 4, 2021 |

https://twitter.com/elainaplott/status/1389572803331043328 Elaina Plott, a bad reporter who has been caught multiple times interviewing "swing voters skeptical of Democrats" who turned out to be GOP party operatives or indeed even former elected officials, publishes this gawking look at the Republican civil war in Texas on a day when TT releases a poll showing Abbott with 77% support among republicans. This is basically exactly the kind of article about Texas that yankees want to read. gently caress off back to New York City.
