DVR set: Janelle Monáe on Austin City Limits. looks like a similar set as what she performed at ACLFest; looking forward to seeing it again ?
SNL: HuckaPM
“People are always asking me, “how do you sleep at night?” In fact they scream it at me all day long.”
Gin & Tacos, on why I’m sad:
“You wanted to see some evidence that corruption, venality, bigotry, and proud ignorance are deal-breakers for the vast majority of Americans. And now you’re sad because it’s obvious that they aren’t.”
that Texas movie last night, where a band of smart, scrappy, & charming upstarts took on the status quo and up against long odds took on a bunch of greedy & unpleasant villains who’d cheated their way into power, well, #spoiler but that ending really sucked
too real: SNL on anticipating a blue wave ?

went out canvassing with the missus this morning in northwest Austin, & then who do we see doing the same at our neighbor’s this afternoon but @manton himself ????

that one thing is: regret not doing more for the 2018 election.
I’m volunteering to #TakeBackTheHouse on Saturday, Nov 3. join me!

I do, for real, have a winning Mega Millions ticket.

wow, the Houston Chronicle endorsed Beto
“Kay Bailey Hutchison… once reminded [us] that Cruz would have to decide where his loyalties lay: with Texans or obstructionist ideologues. Six years later, it’s obvious he’s decided.”
disgusting. Trump praises Gianforte for assault on Guardian reporter
“Trump’s comments mark the first time the president has openly and directly praised a violent act against a journalist on American soil.”

another day, another reason to love Beto
five years ago today I started a goofy project that I thought would never be more than a short-lived lark that nobody but me would read or like. and I was right. ? An Unicks Bestiary

WaPo: Vote ‘no’ on Kavanaugh
“He provided neither evidence nor even a plausible explanation for this red-meat partisanship, but he poisoned any sense that he could serve as an impartial judge.”
