She's so much fun to watch. It's so weird to be rooting for a team from Texas.03 Oct 2026 01:59 +0000at://did:plc:3xe2iqlcmlpivu7hzddsgsl4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwws25k7ic2thttps://bsky.app/profile/swydan.bsky.social/post/3mwwnyohrps2kPeter King's book would be on this list even if my store wasn't hosting him.

There are so many sculptures, paintings, hand-drawn maps, etc. in Vatican City. To think you could lobby for this is baffling.
