Every single time I go use Postman for something it’s like breaking out a board game I haven’t played in years and I have to relearn/remember all the goddamned rules again. And nothing works like you’d expect. It’s a great tool that’s absolutely excruciating to use.

Tonight, in Mineral Wells, Texas When a @GregAbbott_TX supporter laughs, yes, laughs out loud so everyone could hear, while Beto described the massacre of 19 children and 2 teachers in Uvalde, Beto quite appropriately lets loose with a MF. Yep. It was a pretty good one too.
