Vaccines are a plot to depopulate the world. Only "the pure humans" who resist will remain on Earth. Florida Man.
End Times conspiracy theorist Rick Wiles declares that COVID-19 vaccines are a plot to depopulate the world by changing your DNA: "Only those who resist this agenda will remain as the pure humans on planet Earth."

True. Also true: Texas today passed 71,630 COVID-19 deaths since the pandemic began.
Today Texas reported the fewest Covid hospitalizations in 4 months. Yesterday we reported the fewest new Covid positive cases in more than 4 months. The 7-day Covid positivity rate continues to hover around lows last seen in early July.

Yes, today, West Anderson Lane was designated Wes Anderson Lane here in Austin. He's a native Texan and a @UTAustin graduate who has been making films for 25 years now. Austin loves you, Wes.
Hear-ye, hear-ye. In honor of native Texan, graduate of University of Texas, and one of the most unique and beloved film writers and directors of the past thirty years, we are thrilled to announce the renaming of Austin, Texas, street West Anderson Lane to Wes Anderson Lane.

I never thought I'd ever agree with anything donald trump says, but I'm gonna have to agree with him on QAnon Shaman. And TFG was very explicit: "Anyone who vandalize or damage any federal buildings will be prosecuted under re-enacted Statues & Monuments Act min 10yrs in prison"

— Kellyanne Conway has a bad memory: TRUMP'S SUPPLY CHAIN CRISIS • toilet paper • PPE gear (masks & gloves & ventilators) • cars lined up for food • hand sanitizer • rubbing alcohol • hydrogen peroxide • covid tests • vaccines
“I worked in that White House for four years. We never even heard of a such of a thing. There was no supply chain crisis”

My recollection is quite different than Kellyanne Conway’s, especially when it comes to the 2020 crisis. I seem to recall being in the same room with her at A LOT of White House discussions w/ the former guy about supply chain shortages ranging from PPE all the way to TP…🧻

Karl Rove called on an ambitious conservative ad man named Rick Wilson to put together one of the most scurrilous attack ads since Lee Atwater gave Willie Horton his turn at centerstage. esquire.com/news-politics/po…

You mean the University of Texas? No. Oh, Austin College in Sherman? Nope. Um, Austin Community College? Not it.
We got sick of complaining about how broken higher education is. So we decided to do something about it. Announcing a new university dedicated to the fearless pursuit of truth: @uaustinorg: bariweiss.substack.com/p/we-…

"Those concerned about the state of higher education—Niall Ferguson, Bari Weiss, Heather Heying, Joe Lonsdale, Arthur Brooks, and I" - So they won't teach grammar, I guess. //bariweiss.substack.com/p/we-cant-wait-for-universities-to?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source=

No Texas Republican voted for the infrastructure bill, which includes money for electric grid modernization among other things.
Late Friday night, 13 U.S. Republicans joined Democrats to pass a $1 trillion infrastructure package. From the Democrats' progressive caucus, 6 voted against the bill. See how every House member voted: nyti.ms/3BQq1rm

Just added my latest 10 color @WidespreadPanic print to my site. The band made cool double sided sculpted coins with my art to commemorate the night as well. 🦊
