That’s it I’m moving to Alabama! Our first evening here at the Oktoberfest in Cullman was legendary. We met so many cool locals and when the Fest closed at 11pm we started our own table in the now empty festival grounds. We started as four people and everyone who wandered by throughout the night joined us. By the end we were a huge group sitting there until 2am. Everyone here is just so open and welcoming. I love it!!!

How is he supposed to meet "the love of his life" if he doesn't go to the Kentucky Derby? I agree that (outside of maybe India, Israel, and Taiwan - they are major trading partners) the trips are junkets.

A lot of Germans migrated to Alabama after WWII. There are Oktoberfests all over, especially in northern Alabama.

I encourage anyone who feels the same way to vote for and support @TedBrownLiberty
Replying to @TedBrownLiberty
My friend in Texas who normally votes GOP will be voting for you. He said he couldn't bring himself to vote for Ken Paxton (he supported Cornyn in the GOP primary) and thinks you're an honest choice to vote for.

Beth had an affair with a married, Republican congressman, that destroyed his marriage. And Angela’s husband, Ken Paxton, cheated on her with any woman with a pulse and destroyed her marriage. You can see why they’re besties.
Texas has fantastic state and local leaders, including my friend, State Senator Angela Paxton! It was wonderful to catch up on the work she is doing with @usapromise not only for North Texas, but for the rest of the country. We discussed her work in ensuring that U.S. elections are secure and safe.

The babysitter called my uncle at 11:34 p.m. Babysitter: “His fever is 103.8, and something isn’t right.” My Uncle: “Give him the children’s fever medicine in the kitchen cabinet.” Babysitter: “I don’t feel comfortable giving him medication.” My Uncle: “You’ve watched him almost 20 times. You know where everything is.” Babysitter: “I don’t know his medical history. I don’t know if he’s allergic to anything, and I don’t know if he’s already had something tonight.” My uncle was frustrated. My Uncle: “We’ve given him that medicine dozens of times.” She didn’t argue. Instead, she said: Babysitter: “He’s barely responding to me, and he’s breathing really fast.” Then she called 911. My uncle was furious. My Uncle: “Why would you call an ambulance without asking us?” Babysitter: “Because I don’t think he should wait.” By the time my uncle got home, the ambulance had already taken his six-year-old son to the hospital. An hour later, a doctor came out…

She picked up her backpack and walked out. Now I’m honestly conflicted. She was only 17. She wasn’t a medical professional. But she was the one person in that house who recognized that something was seriously wrong. Did the babysitter overreact by calling an ambulance, or did my uncle make the wrong decision by treating the $1,200 bill as the bigger problem?

Had she done nothing and the child died, she could have been sued, and maybe even charged with negligent homicide. She did the right thing.

This public display of “oh well” is embarrassing. Elon Musk has fathered 14 children with four different women. He’s not a role model for parenthood. Nor is he the kind of man worth pursuing. Yuck.
It’s hard to go from in love to let go in a week with no warning, but that’s just how it is sometimes 🤷🏻‍♀️ I feel happy that I got to show Elon how it feels to be deeply understood, nurtured, and peacefully loved with stability and gentleness. Given the tumultuous nature of his early life, his often tortured soul, and how hard he fights for humanity I wanted him to feel the deepest and most stable form of love this world can provide. My heart is full knowing I got to do that, and I hope it leaves a lasting good effect. We were always his safe space. A place where all of us were overjoyed to see him and one that was always full of happiness and love, not war, in contrast to his otherwise militant existence (a needed break from the battlefield where he could recharge his heart and soul before heading back out) I loved being that counterbalancing place of safety, sense of calm, and love — and delighted in bringing a smile back to his face when he was down. I will miss him dearly. I’ve loved him more than life itself and he’s taught me 100 lifetimes of knowledge and made my cup overflow with life meaning, so there is a lot of loss, but luckily we created four beautiful little loves of my life ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I am so beyond grateful for our children and they make every single day the best day of my life! I do hope and pray he and I can be great friends and coparents. I’m hurting, but care deeply about E and will always be cheering for his happiness. God speed, Elon, the world is lucky to have you.

@TexasFootball enters its bye week at 4-0 but is still searching for offensive consistency after uneven performances against ranked opponents. Head coach Steve Sarkisian said the Longhorns must improve their execution, reduce penalties and trust their preparation as the schedule becomes more demanding. thedailytexan.com/2026/10/01…

In Denton yesterday Trump said Rodman was the all-time NBA leader in rebounds. He's not. He's actually 25th, behind LeBron James. Anytime Trump opens his mouth, assume he's lying, exaggerating, or just wrong.

On behalf of your in-house legal team, I am asking you not to take to twitter to openly brag about violating federal anti-discrimination law.
I work at a large finance firm and hire interns/new grads. If a man applies and I see he was part of a frat. Resume is going straight into the shredder.

It isn't. Federal law doesn't consider fraternity/sorority membership (or non-membership) to be a protected class. It would only be a problem if one decided not to hire members of those groups which are predominantly of one race, or hiring frat bros but not sorority girls
