Lives in a typical city involved in a typical daydream.

Hey @nba, I live in Austin. If I buy Team Pass for Golden State, will I be able to watch a game (not against San Antonio) on NBA TV? Your app and website are not clear on this.


#huluhaslivemusic Well, shucks. Sabrina was a disgrace. 90% lip synced, a disaster of a Shania sit-in, and no Taylor -- which Hulu, Sabrina and ACL Live knew in advance, and lied by omission by allowing the rumors to goose interest in the show. You all should be ashamed.

Arkansas passed the voucher program under the lie that it would enable poor and working class people to place their children into private schools. But after the state began issuing vouchers, the private schools in the state all raised their tuition to more than what the…

At some point TX Republicans’ luck will run out and the weight of their mismanagement will cave in on our state. We already see it happening at the edges. TX is losing ground, even though people don’t totally see that yet and continue to move here. But the shine will wear off. 1/

Two days torrential rains have triggered flash floods in MeiTouGou district, west of Beijing. Stay inside and keep safe!


Even people at Five Dragons Lake in Jinan, China know that the @MLB A's belong in Oakland.

Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness. After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.

The A’s leadership right now is not only losing A’s fans, they are creating ANTI A’s and @MLB fans. Manfred is fine with it. We really need league wide support to show that they exist because of us. They are not untouchable. #selltheteam #fisherout #manfredout


It looks like John Fisher is closing in on a deal to move the A's to Las Vegas, ending my 54 years of @mlb fandom. (And ending whatever chance MLB had to get my daughter's fandom, or at least one curated by her Dad.) I won't attend another game or watch one on TV.


There are many great Moms, but mine was awful. She's gone now, but even as a bad Mom, I think about her each day, sometimes even positively. So all you Moms out there who aren't having or giving a great experience, Happy Mother's Day to you too. Take some joy and pass it along.

The A’s have been a minor league operation for years, run by a billionaire who wants handouts, from revenue sharing to government tax dollars. The soccer team he owns has been a penny-pinching embarrassment. Vegas should get an expansion team & Fisher forced to sell locally.

Haven't paid too much attention to the nuts and bolts of A's owner John Fisher's ballpark follies, but this bit is wild to me. How does the ballpark NOT come first?

Fremont, San Jose, Laney College, the Coliseum ... this is the Death Lineup of John Fisher's failed stadium announcements and who says Las Vegas won't be next? theathletic.com/4440508/2023/0…

Since this deal blew up my sources have been telling me Oakland would absolutely be willing to get this deal across the finish line with a new ownership group. #Athletics

“Fisher met with new Oakland mayor Sheng Thao two months ago. The two sides agreed to negotiate directly, and at Fisher’s request they agreed to not talk or leak to the press during the process. They also agreed to use a professional mediator, Steve Kawa, recommended by Fisher.”


To-do list today: @mlb app uninstalled, check. Unfollow A's PR and broadcast reps, check. Throw A's shirts, caps and jackets in the trash, check. Change TV package to something cheaper now that I don't need @MLBNetwork, check. Cancel trip to Midland to see A's AA team, check.

The Texas House on Thursday approved a budget amendment opposing school vouchers — a major setback to Gov. Greg Abbott and “school choice” advocates this legislative session. Democrats and rural Republicans have traditionally opposed school choice efforts. bit.ly/43bv6tn

"School Choice" already exists in Texas It's just that the vast majority of Texas taxpayers don't want to foot the bill for those who choose religious schools Want to use the toll lane? Pay for it yourself

It’s a drizzly day at the Capitol where school choice supporters have gathered to hear @GovAbbott speak. #txed
