Another long week

So sad to hear of Jessica Walter dying this week. I'll miss her. I always enjoy seeing her popup in guest starring roles in past TV shows like Wonder Woman or Murder She Wrote. I used to enjoy Dinosaurs too, but back then I had no idea who she was.

Meanwhile people are apparently very entertained by news of the ship stuck in the Suez Canal. The memes are cute, though I'm glad to hear that the US is going to send experts to help. Competent government for the win!

There's a special election in Texas in May, with an astonishing 23 candidates running to replace Ron Wright, who died. With that many candidates, it's hard to know who to vote for, when there's not enough info to distinguish the various Democrats. I'm going to have to rely on endorsements. Candace Valenzuela, who went silent after she lost her recent election, has started to be active again, fundraising for victims of the ice storm/power failure, and she has sent some endorsements on races.

Texas GOP are trying to pass voter suppression laws just like Georgia did. Such hypocrites. They won in 2020, but even that isn't good enough for them. They want to make sure there's no chance in hell of flipping the state blue. Fucking Chip Roy and Ted Cruz!
