Texas power outages and Ted Cruz travel agency

I know TikTok links don’t work but this is an office space parody featuring Ted Cruz’s face and high heel cowboy boots?

I’m definitely enjoying how the American version of capitalism just means that you pay more for worse stuff.

Beto lost, but iirc, his presence had a huge impact on down ballot races. I think that aspect of the fundraising for candidates in relatively red strongholds is one that is often overlooked in the discussions around here. Most of us understand that we really need to chip away at the R control of state-level governance in order to make progress on a ton of issues. I think finding and funding charismatic, well-liked Dems who may be a long-shot to unseat entrenched R senators is not a complete waste of money like many here seem to think.

Only skimmed it, but basically: deregulated generator co’s get caught out by their own lack of emergency preparedness, so they both dodge system breakdown thru excess demand and also bigly profited by massively jacking electricity price during winter emergency. Utility retailer middlemen companies scramble and pass the bill onto the individual end consumers.
Committee says “That’s all fine, plebs gonna pay for everything.”

The price of freedom, I guess.

Pretty sure findom is a way for people to be sex workers without saying they’re sex workers.

Nope it’s definitely driven on the demand side, not the supply side. It’s a pretty common fetish.

Maybe so but its got to be the easiest fetish by far to find a willing partner!

I’m willing to insult any of you for large sums of money. Just throwing it out there.

someone better ask him about appearing on jordan pederson podcast

What are his politics? No idea.

They can’t possibly be worse then a republican but fuck celebrity politicians, this better not become even more of a trend than it already is

he’s going from an image where he’s never done anything wrong, to a political forum where it’s impossible to make any decision without angering someone. i sincerely hope he stays away, although he’s probably being groomed by some republican donors to go up against beto, and it will be hard to say no.

Looking forward to McConaughey’s naked stoner bongo playing arrest getting back into the news again.
