It’s a button, it’s big, and it’s red. It want’s me to press it, I MUST press it.

As a long time Texas resident I’m sure that the bulk of the opinion in ERCOT, PUC, the legislature, etc, is that this all went perfectly fine except for the negative press. This is how the “free market” is supposed to work - the system didn’t fail at all. I predict they will not force the utilities to do anything…

Well, maybe he was outted by a lamb. 

There’s no way those dragons were drawn together, unless the artist is really bad at perspective and posing.

first of all, just because WotC owns the character depicted in the art doesn’t mean they own the art itself. WotC didn’t commission this guy, but the art itself wouldn’t exist if this guy didn’t make it so...

The art is protected by copyright, and copyright automatically belongs to its creator, if and until they assign otherwise.

“Our next episode will be from one of Italy’s maximum security prisons where we’ll show you how to make the perfect red sauce using ingredients smuggled in by family and some prison toilet wine.”

We need some *serious* ethics reform in this country. America is definitely not great these days and if we don’t deal with this cancer of corruption we’ll lose everything this country was supposed to be! I’m just appalled that so many of my countrymen are willing to be so corrupt and all for wealth and power. If…

Yeah but the GOP and the media seem to ignore that fact.

So they’re as good at providing information as providing power.

How many Enron executives will turn up in charge of these companies? 

“Libertarianism is astrology for men”

Seems like there was a lot of shady shit going on with ERCOT. Glad where I live we have a municipally owned power provider. The city owns the utility company and the generation, the generation side is co-owned with a few other cities. We did have brown outs, I personally did not maybe because I was near downtown and…

Let’s say a massive hurricane hit the Carolinas and Virginia and caused a significant humanitarian disaster. And let’s say that was on top of an economic recession that had hit those states especially hard, causing significant spikes in poverty, which itself might have caused a significant spike in crime. All of this…

Dunno about any of my atheist sisters and brothers out here, but shit like this is always hilarious to me. Up until a fanatic like Pence or Noem start pushing laws.

Can you image wanting to have your wedding at Mar a Lago?
