I spent some time with @AmberFletcher_ and her brother, Aaron, on Opening Day of @StateFairOfTX to see what goes on behind the scenes of their corny dog empire: https://t.co/CHG2JSur0u
Core US cities like Dallas can't compete with their suburbs on the suburbs' definition of success. It's too easy to work from home now.
These cities need to double down on density and walkability, to provide a real alternative to what the suburbs offer. Give people choices!
Hey, they're painting a soccer mural on the side of the abandoned Dawson jail next to the Trinity. I suggested letting artists have a go at transforming this building nearly a decade ago.

Weir's furnished my childhood. I still think about the gingerbread cookies they had at the in-store fall arts & crafts festival they held forever ago.

The eclipse from Orion.
On April 6, external cameras attached to the Orion spacecraft's solar array wings captured the Moon backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse.
Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
Artemis II is now entering a solar eclipse that will last for about an hour as Orion, the Moon and the Sun align. During this phase, the crew will see the Sun disappear behind a mostly darkened Moon.
One last look at Earth before we reach the Moon.
This view of the Earth was captured on April 5, the fourth day of the Artemis II mission, from inside the Orion spacecraft. The four astronauts will reach their closest approach of the Moon tomorrow, April 6.
NEW: Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood is coming to YouTube, getting its own page. It’s the first time the show will be on-demand for free. Fred Rogers Productions tells me the page is coming this summer. https://t.co/2Xc26oWSIA
One of the companies building the border wall in Big Bend has been through the wringer: tax fraud, OSHA violations, environmental fines, dozens of lawsuits. (They are also currently suing DHS for an alleged breach of contract.) https://t.co/xRK9CHliiR
Course of Empire was one of the defining bands of the local music scene in their heyday. Amazing opportunity to help revive their sound. https://t.co/NCzWRm0b1D
The Big Bend border wall contracts I’ve seen so far average about $17 million a mile. The total cost of the project in Presidio County is 540x our annual county budget. We do not have a hospital and are among the poorest counties in Texas. Just some fun facts I wanted to share 💞
