Welp, the Elder Gods couldn’t screw up Texas any worse than the people have.

Sure. Why not?

I knew that numbering system from an RPG game I played that used it as a code/clue system:

So it’s three numbers: 972, 588, 4762, which together do make a phone number in Dallas.

I feel bad that it bugs me to hear somebody soooo corporate-looking talking about how he loves this weird stuff. I know intellectually that as a city council member (in Dallas!) there’s a way he’s expected to dress, and I shouldn’t prejudge him for it. But it’s hard.

Providence resident here – I’m ashamed that we don’t have an Elder God statue downcity (no, not a typo). I think this will be my new life mission.

He knows he’s on camera and would soon appear on TV, so I’d say all bets are off as to what he’s really like.

Seems like an elected politician in a very red area would publicly be fretting about such a thing not saying that he likes weird stuff.

It’s nice that when you hear politicians saying that they like weird stuff it turns out to be a statue.

I couldn’t hear what the phone message said – any clues?
