@ianbetteridge glad to hear it's a good sequel! Black Panther was the only Marvel movie this dad has genuinely enjoyed and felt drawn into. Although we did enjoy the 1st Dr Strange movie.

@kairyssdal it really has been a spectacle. That it's given Mastodon all this attention feels like karma. Delighted to have followed the stampede here and discover conversations instead of finger pointing. Isn't that Musk's objective for Twitter? The irony...

My out-of-state friends think of TX as woefully retrograde in politics. I always tell them that we elected a female Democrat as governor with Ann Richards not that long ago. The demographics are in the Dems' favor. Shame we have to wait for that shift though. https://www. keranews.org/news/2022-11-09/t exas-midterm-election-results-arent-surprising-and-heres-why

@Richard_Littler More reflection, thought & consideration in toots are a refreshing change for me from tweets. I suppose Mastodon could have an initial surge of Twitter rancor. But the last few glances over at Twitter keep nudging me back to Mastodon. I'm open to real & genuine policy debate. It's a dumpster fire over there with all of these MAGA type suggestions now. That's not "reintroducing balance" to me. It's favoring the trolls. I just hope more journos make the switch.

I enjoy reading Mark Lamster's architecture reviews in the Dallas Morning News. We need to get him out to a Red River Showdown sometime soon though. The architectural rendering that he complains about is refreshingly honest in my estimation.😂 Fair Park needs attention. The tense dynamic between preservationists and business leaders who want to spruce it up for the masses has gone on for decades now. The standoff continues even after the YES vote on Prop A.

Architectural rendering of the proposed renovation of the Cotton Bowl showing Texas OU partygoers. Rendering shows a plush concourse underneath the lower bowl seating rows. It has a very wide screen TV and an island bar in the background. In the foreground there are two women, one an OU fan showing the upside down Hook 'Em Horns gesture and the other a Texas fan with sunglasses on, tongue out in a wide smile and holding a smartphone.

🎵 Very excited to see that the great Peter Gabriel is coming out with a new album "I/O" and a world tour. Saw him once in the early 90's for the "Us" tour. What a show!

When the necropsy is done for the midterm elections later this week, there may be some soul searching for the Dems. Here in TX, there's a lot of support for Dem candidates, but very spare help from the national party. https://www. washingtonpost.com/opinions/20 22/11/07/partisan-politics-age-gerrymandering/#:~:text=When%20talk%20turned,are%20always%20off.%E2%80%9D

"What do you think of what Elon Musk is doing at Twitter?
I don’t know. The man is not entirely comprehensible. I don’t agree with a lot of his behaviors and his decision-making. I think that buying Twitter was an impulse decision that he soon regretted. And that he basically got himself into a situation that kind of forced him to commit to the deal. And now he’s in it, and he has to deal with the fallout." https://time.com/6229230/mastodon-euge n-rochko-interview/
