@DanFriedman81 This link is a list of all the roughly 700 National Merit Semi-Finalists in Texas 2026. You should review it so you don't say anything else so incredibly ill-informed. The best students in Texas are more likely to be minorities, regardless of school size.https://t.co/AFvnzwbAym
@bofrench Besides being a racist, you are also ignorant of the admissions policy of the University of Texas. Under Texas Law, 75% of the admission slots are filled by Texas High School students who graduate in the top 5% of their class. That is a race-blind policy.
@MadsPelzel@forestservice@TPWDnews I14 is already open, it runs from Belton to Copperas Cove. The plan is to extend it to El Paso to the west and Georgia to the east.
@evan7257@CenterPoint It's obviously fiber. The easy way to tell is that when you see that almost circular thingy the cable is wrapped around, that's fiber. It poses no danger so the utility is under no obligation to deal with it quickly
@Devlinside123@DocBlase@TheRickWilson I'm 60 and the only memory I have of a Kennedy in political office is Sen Ted Kennedy. One would have to be closer to 70 to remember a different Kennedy in office and closer to 80 to have actually voted for one in a winning election.
@curious_founder The Department of Labor web site contains a list of the job training and opportunities they fund or co-fund in energy and manufacturing. They currently support 895 different programs.

@gtconway3d Because when you are in a hurry, you don't read signs, you do whatever makes the most since in our lizard brains at that moment. Everyone acts like they've never been bone-headed.
@janesnage@RyanShead@RepMTG In our system, trials do not prove innocence. The two possible verdicts are โguiltyโ and โnot guiltyโ. โInnocentโ is not an option. A not guilty verdict simply means the government failed to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
@AndrewDessler The Socratica series of videos on YouTube are excellent and entertaining. I taught a class last summer to some high school graduates headed to college. They had never had any programming instruction. I used the syllabus of the intro class I knew they would take in the fall.
@NormEisen Having never seen a classified document, can you give me an idea about how long these documents are? Is this like one page per document or hundreds or what?
@AmesCG I was recently in a presentation from the guy that manages the rivers and lakes for 70% of Texas and none of his forecast models considered climate change in any way. It's not just that we are ignoring the 2nd and 3rd order effects, we're also ignoring the 1st order effects.
@MuellerSheWrote @dominionvoting Dominion Voting System is owned by a private equity firm, State Street Capital. State Street has the option of walking away with a settlement rumored to be $1B or fight this out in court, wait through years of appeals, and maybe get less.
