Thankful for the coso community I’ve gotten to know over the last 5 years. The good friends I’ve made and the new cosonauts I meet everyday. Thankful for @th3j35t3r for creating this internet oasis #thankful

@mhsheikh Thanks, amigo. I'm still trying to figure out the platform but so far I am liking it.

@mhsheikh Yeah, an idiot that doesn't understand licenses.

Babe Shkit, a Kickapoo Chief, 1894. The Kickapoos settled in Texas in the early 1800s at the invitation of the Spanish government, which hoped that native tribes would provide a buffer against American settlement in the region. They still maintain a reservation in Rosita, Texas, which is just south of Eagle Pass. #history #texas history

A lot of #Resistance people are being played.

Whether it's Occupy Democrats or overly prolific tweeters with big follower numbers, you may be hooked on people who just want to monetize you.

Who exactly are these people you are reading? What are their credentials? Their motives? Are they posting original material and analysis or simply copying others' work? Are they just pumping outrage?

Be especially careful who you give money to. Grifting operations span the political spectrum.

@mhsheikh Yeah? So? And…?

Captain Obvious uncovered a state secret. 😂 😂

Traces of Texas reader Ross Fischer kindly submitted this nice photo of his grandfather, Frederick Daniel Fischer, doing a handstand on the beach in Galveston in the late 1920s. As a former boy (and therefore an expert on such matters), I can say that being a boy and doing a handstand on the beach in Galveston was a very fine life, indeed.

BTW...

For the moment at least Twitter's report/suspend function appears to be running on auto-pilot.

If you ever wanted to report some (neo-nazi) accounts into the ground, now would be the time.
