Well shit, I would if I could. Not touristy shit but like a nice quiet spot, a fire and a drink in my hand

Someone should make a twitter type bot called the texas inclement weather warning system and it just checks to see if Ted has been seen at airports.

It's floods, not fires.

Ignoring the satire for a second, vacationing can help people get over trauma. It's not a bad idea. But it's also not really grieving in the traditional sense. And obviously, a politician would have different rules.

Yes, but not while it's still going on and he can help. It's not different rules.

[–] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, but if they have no power at home, or shits flooded, old Ted's gotta grieve about it someplace his constituents can't find him.
