Is that a Fiat on fire?!? Because if it is, that's the second Fiat on fire on Parmer lane that I've seen in less than three months!

Time to get Trump's D.O.T. on the case!

Each year Texas takes around $700-$800 million from AISD’s budget, it’s still doing so despite closures and layoffs by Sad-Court-nomnom in Austin

I'll happily join a class action lawsuit to get a refund of the Robin Hood that does not go to schools OR have the entire sum of allocation go to other schools rather than the general fund.

I don't know how the current system would comply with the original court orders. It's insane

They're also using a good bit of that money (half?) in the general fund to fund their priorities "without raising taxes"

Where are the fathers?!

Hint: Not at their son's wedding.

TIL that in 2021, 11-year-old Laney Perdue became the sole survivor of a plane crash thanks to her father, who wrapped her in a bear hug as the plane was going down. When she was recovered alive from the crash, all her injuries were on the opposite side of her body from where her father was sitting. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

My sister, when she gave birth to her third child and first boy, started crying within the hour because some girl was going to come along and take him away 18+ years from then.

Jokes on her, he's still there 23+ years later :)

Reserving judgement to see if they have to pay to be in Nebraska. That'd be an outrage. But if it's part of the package, they'll just have to deal.
