A 2018 Dallas News article reported 338 Islamic mosques and centers in Texas.

Ok. So?

Most of those are in heavily populated urban centers where their voices are muted by the interests of other larger groups.

Now do the same study for English language churches converting to Spanish speaking in Texas.

Not saying we shouldn’t keep an eye on Muslim groups but this is like the 5th thread I’ve seen in this in the last couple of days. Calm the F down.

I’ll be more interested to see what happens to these mosques in the next two decades when they have children saturated with the pluralistic culture surrounding them. What happens when their daughters go to public schools, see the freedoms other girls have and discover they’ve been lied to by their religion? US History shows that they’re more likely to melt into the pot in some significant way that mutes their fundamentalism.

Weird. I prefer UPS to other services. They’ve always been fine with me. Hate hearing how bad things are on the inside.

FedEx Office locations are always slow and the employees never seem happy to be there. Maybe that’s just Dallas. Idk.

I loathe USPS. They’re just terrible.

I liked these episodes for foundation laying for the rest of the season.

Thought the whole “undocumented” bs was way too obvious but the actors executed it well so it did t take me out too much.

Genevieve O’Reilly is the standout so far. These first three episodes were hers. So cool to learn about another system and their culture without it being ridiculous exposition.

Definitely want more Krennick.

Blue, black, and all shades of gray are appropriate at a funeral.

Mine is back to less than $1k down from its high, but that’s a normal fluctuation.

BSG has two that are better (and I love ST2):

As a gay man, it’s super easy for me: “Hell yes I voted for Trump. You should’ve, too.”

This guy is weird AF, but…

Seriously? That’s child’s play in comparison to what goes on in DC. The rest of Congress clutched their pearls and did everything they could to oust this guy from the get-go. The way the DC establishment snobs looked down their noses at him was bizarre; they targeted him before he even stepped in the Beltway. Such hypocrites.

If the voters don’t choose who they want, they’ll find a way… (See: Madison Cawthorn)

Michael is the worst. He didn’t have to kill to get what he wanted. They never told him to kill anyone.

Also hate that big dumb dolt Other who kidnapped Walt.

Juliet has always been my fave. Love her.
