Antares Mark-0 has achieved initial criticality! ⚛️

🚨 Big news for advanced geothermal: the House just passed a bipartisan geothermal permitting package.

This is important.

Next-gen geothermal could become a major source of reliable energy in America.

Here's why. 🧵

[ACC Texas @ACC_lonestar]

Bastrop, Texas, is leading the charge on American Reindustrialization, capitalizing on nuclear energy to power this development. @ACC_National is proud to have partnered with local leaders and stakeholders to highlight this growth with an expert panel discussion in Bastrop.

Been reading and watching some great content about the settling of the western frontier and life after it.

📺 Deadwood, 1883
📙The American West, East of Eden.

It's tempting to just sit back and let the flow of mind numbing ignorance on the topic overwhelm you, but we can't afford to do that. The unmeasured damage is yet to be done, we can't afford to let it happen. We saw this with nuclear, we can't do this with AI.

I stopped explaining that datacenters use water in a closed loop. I just nod, purse my lips and say "yeah its really bad". What's the point

[The Atlas Society @TheAtlasSociety]

Porn isn't just an adult issue anymore.

[Zack @ZackAbnet]

No competent comes director would ever let such a tweet be sent out from the Ambassador to Canada. What the hell are we doing.

I’m so torn about this…

On one hand the Valley View area is perfect, it’s at the intersection of multiple highways, is IN Dallas, will be a massive and (hopefully) beautiful update to that land.

On the other hand: downtown Dallas is now becoming a dead zone. It’s lost AT&T hq, now the Mavs, has thousands of empty office towers and no vision for saving downtown other than a building by a famous architect… which my grandmother voted against as the first woman on the city council.

I feel sad that our downtown will be barren and a place that just sits empty… meanwhile EVERYWHERE else in DFW is growing! Where is our city leadership and council??!! This is a bad scar on Mayor Johnson’s tenure.

In less dramatic terms, the rotten tomatoes rating is a bit too high. This film is good, and the popularity is probably due to a "Get Out" like buzz around an interesting story.

[Zack @ZackAbnet]

I hated Obsession.

I hated it while I watched it, I hated it after. It has nothing to do with how we judge most movies. It started with the premise of the story and everything that happened after. The film score was perfect which made me hate it even more. I haven't hated such a good film since I saw Eyes Wide Shut.

[Zack @ZackAbnet]

Flexing on Rhode Island? Someone help these peasants across the pond.

[Planet Sardinia @Planet_Sardinia]

My region is bigger than two of your US states combined.

[Zack @ZackAbnet]

@LoewyLawFirm I wasn't following you during the impeachment trial for Paxton, I wonder what your thoughts of it all were.

[Zack @ZackAbnet]

@HoustonTexans Couldn't be my Dallas cowboys.

[Zack @ZackAbnet]

@BleacherReport Reminds of when Cam said he'd rather keep his 2015 MVP than trade it for a SB. Some players just built different.

@fed_speak I mean, the view is on broadcast TV 5 days a week.

[Jason Scharf @Jason_A_Scharf]

Remember when the 2023 story was that the Austin & Texas boom was over? 🤦‍♂️

One data point was Travis County out-migration. 270K people left from 2020 to 2023.

But where did they go?

41% stayed in the Austin metro.
13% stayed elsewhere in Texas, probably more.
Only 6% went to the top 10 out-of-state counties.

And notice that out-migration to nearly every top out-of-state county decreased over the period.

Not great for Austin city proper, but very different from “Austin is over.” During the same period, the Austin metro had net migration of 144K.

Data analysis from the @statesman (please do more of these deep dives.)

@christopherrufo The American West in general is such a foundational part of the American character. Taming the wilderness for civilization, letting law and statehood eventually catch up. Too important to let communist rule.

[Zack @ZackAbnet]

The rich get richer. Hilarious to think the cowboys even had a shot.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

🚨🚨🚨

Bombshell: The Browns are finalizing a trade that will send two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, per @rapsheet, @TomPelissero and me.

In exchange for Garrett, the Rams are expected to send Pro-Bowl edge Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick and other draft-pick compensation still being negotiated to the Browns.

[Zack @ZackAbnet]

This is why its even more important that we don't fumble the modern industrial revolution that is the AI build out. We cant rest on our success, we must win and dominate Energy and AI. The well is poisoned as far as publics view of these projects, we must work to change that.

[🇺🇸 Kyle Bass 🇹🇼 @Jkylebass]

Texas is the growth engine of the Western world.

With 32 million people, Texas generates nearly $2.9 trillion in GDP. Elon @elonmusk ‘s new Terafab project in Grimes County is projected to add another $1 trillion to the Texas economy over the next decade.

At current pace, Texas will surpass France 🇫🇷 in GDP by 2031.

For comparison: France has 66 million citizens and a GDP of roughly $3.3 trillion. Yet Texas GDP per capita is nearly twice that of France.

President Macron and his government should take a hard look at why a single U.S. state is creating wealth at this scale.

This piece from the Economist gets the gist right but the dynamism and understanding of the sheer scale of what’s happening is missed.

@SchnapsideeG @christopherrufo I mean, major cities from Seattle to Socal have DSA candidates either for mayor or city council. They have infiltrated and entrenched themselves in important local institutions, and they care about ideology.
