Anyone ever seen interstate-induced clouds before? Low level CU developed perfectly along major interstates around Houston this morning. Kind of shocking to see such perfectly lined up clouds. #txwx

On this day, 27 years ago, we chased what is well-known as the strongest #tornado in History.

This shows the F5 tornado near peak intensity, just after devastating the community of Bridge Creek, Oklahoma.

Aa freshman meteorology students at OU, we stupidly abandoned our Geo Tracker and took shelter under an overpass. Research was published that overpasses can accelerate the tornadic wind and be even more dangerous.

We then saw the terrible devastation in Moore, Oklahoma with horses wandering down the highway and people emerging from their destroyed homes. Over 50 people lost their lives from the May 3, 1999 tornado outbreak.

There was another massive violent tornado with a supercell to the north near Mulhall, Oklahoma that peaked after sunset.

The tornado outbreak was still going when I woke up for class the next morning at 7 am.

This is a day that Oklahomans will never forget. Enjoy the nice weather this May 3,

To my Oklahoma family;
this piece comes straight from the heart.

I hope you’ll take a moment to read it and feel what I felt.
Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of it.

I came to @okcthunder to play basketball. I left carrying 168 lives.

When I was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder, I was thinking about basketball, nothing more.

I didn’t know that before I ever stepped on the court, this place would show me something that would stay with me far longer than any game.

Like any player, my mind was on the game. A new team, a new city, a new opportunity. I expected the usual routine when I landed in Oklahoma City. Physicals, practices, meetings, and a jersey waiting in a locker.

But before any of that, Sam Presti pulled me aside and told me there was somewhere we needed to go.

He didn’t explain much, and I didn’t think to ask. I was focused on the next step in my career.

What I didn’t understand was that, before I could represent the place I was about to play for, I needed to understand it.

So instead of heading to the facility, he took me to the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.

I walked in without knowing what I was about to see, and within minutes, everything slowed down.

There are 168 chairs at the memorial, each one representing a life lost on April 19, 1995. They are arranged in quiet rows, each engraved with a name, each standing where a person once stood in that building. Then you notice something that is impossible to process the first time you see it. Some of the chairs are smaller.

They belong to children.

There is no speech that prepares you for that, no headline that captures it. You simply stand there, and the silence carries a kind of weight that is hard to describe but impossible to ignore.

As you walk through the memorial, you pass between two gates marked 9:01 and 9:03. At first, they seem like simple numbers, but then you understand what they hold. One marks the last minute before the attack. The other marks the first minute after. And in between those two gates is 9:02, the moment when everything changed.

That minute does not feel like history when you are standing there. It feels present.

The reflecting pool stretches across what used to be a city street, its surface calm and still. When you look into it, you do not just see water. You see yourself standing in a place where unimaginable loss occurred, and for a moment, everything else in your life becomes quieter.

Nearby stands the Survivor Tree, an American elm that was damaged in the blast but endured. It is not untouched. Its scars are part of what it represents. But it is still standing, and in that, it carries a kind of strength that does not need to be explained.

We did not speak much while we were inside. It did not feel like a place for conversation. Some places ask for words. This one asks for reflection.

When we stepped outside, Sam Presti looked me in the eye and said, “This is what this state has been through.”

Then he said something I will never forget.

“Every time you step on that court, you are not just playing in front of fans. You are playing for a state that carries this with it. Give them everything you have. They deserve that.”

In that moment, basketball felt different.

Not smaller, but clearer.

Because what I had just seen was not only about what was lost. It was about what remained. A state that had experienced unimaginable pain and still chose to come together, to rebuild, and to move forward without losing its humanity.

From that day on, every time I stepped on the court, I carried that with me.

On the nights when I was tired, when I was hurt, when I was dealing with challenges that felt heavy in the moment, I would think about those chairs, about that minute, about the people behind those names. And I was reminded that what I was going through did not compare to what this state had endured.

This is why the NBA is a joke.

They change their rules if it helps them push narratives they want to push.

Rules are put into place for a reason. What's the point of having them if they don't mean anything?

The reason I have an issue is because the NBA will pick and choose specifically who they bend the rules for. Not everyone will get this treatment this only is going to cause issues.

NBA suck!

PRESS RELEASE:

Canyon, Texas — March 5, 2026

https://t.co/d1BuZestc1, the category-defining global domain acquired by Texas Slim, today announced it is building the first dedicated digital infrastructure network for the global beef industry — connecting ranchers directly to pricing, payment, and market settlement for the first time at scale.

This is not an e-commerce launch.
It is infrastructure.

American ranchers operate inside a system built against them — opaque pricing, slow payments, and middlemen extracting margin at every step. https://t.co/d1BuZestc1 is being built to change that structure, not work around it.

The platform is designed to do something the beef industry has never had: a single, transparent layer where product moves, prices are verified, and ranchers get paid faster — backed by real assets.

https://t.co/d1BuZestc1 is now engaging institutional investors, infrastructure capital, fintech partners, and agricultural stakeholders to participate in Phase I deployment.

Platform Architecture

https://t.co/d1BuZestc1 is being architected as:

• A real-time Beef Index enabling transparent price discovery
• A rancher-direct routing system reducing intermediary bottlenecks
• A digitally secured settlement layer compressing payment cycles
• A Strategic Beef Reserve designed to buffer supply disruptions
• A digital provenance system verifying origin and production data

At scale, the platform functions as exchange-grade infrastructure supporting routing, liquidity management, and reserve coordination.

Market Structure & Settlement

The Beef Index establishes verified, quality-based pricing with capital routed directly to producers — cutting out the opacity that has defined agricultural markets for generations.

The settlement framework modernizes agricultural clearing by reducing lag, limiting counterparty friction, and strengthening working capital stability for ranchers.

The Strategic Beef Reserve provides structured inventory coordination designed to stabilize supply during periods of market stress.

Capital Formation: Phase I Infrastructure Raise

https://t.co/d1BuZestc1 has initiated discussions for a $25 million Phase I infrastructure securitization to fund deployment of its routing and settlement architecture.

Phase I capital will support:

• Exchange architecture development
• Rancher-direct routing integration
• Regulatory and compliance alignment
• Institutional pilot execution
• Operational onboarding and scalability

This is infrastructure capital directed toward measurable transaction flow improvement within defined regional corridors of the U.S. beef market.

Upon validation and expanded adoption, subsequent phases are expected to extend routing nationally and integrate broader liquidity participation.

Qualified institutional investors and accredited strategic partners are invited to request private offering materials and schedule executive briefings regarding Phase I participation.

Market Positioning

https://t.co/d1BuZestc1 controls the definitive global domain within a $500B+ industry and is being developed as the foundational coordination layer for pricing, routing, settlement, and reserve infrastructure.

https://t.co/d1BuZestc1 is being valued and built like exchange infrastructure — comparable to financial clearing platforms — not as a consumer food brand.

This represents base-layer infrastructure ownership in one of the world’s most essential industries.

Executive Statement

“This isn’t about launching a website,” said Texas Slim. “It’s about rebuilding how product and capital move through the beef economy. When routing is verified and settlement is efficient, the foundation strengthens.”

About https://t.co/d1BuZestc1

https://t.co/d1BuZestc1 is being developed as digital infrastructure for the global beef industry, focused on verified routing, transparent pricing, and modernized settlement systems.

It is not retail.
It is infrastructure.

Jodie (47) was on the phone telling her kids to take cover when the tornado struck her van outside Fairview. We lost both her and 13 year old Lexi that night. 💔

A mother of 8 and grandma of 4, Jodie was weeks away from holding a new grandbaby. David and the kids need our help for funerals and the long road ahead. 🕊️

Noether's theorem is even more beautiful than this framing allows.

The standard version says: symmetry produces conservation. One thing leads to the other. Symmetry is primary, conservation follows. But look at what Noether actually proved. The symmetry is the geometry sustaining itself in a direction. The conservation is the quantity preserved by that self-sustaining. They are two measurements of one identity. The geometry recognizing itself from a different position on the surface and finding itself unchanged IS the conserved quantity persisting. They are the same event observed from two directions.

Symmetry is the bounding: the geometry holds. Conservation is the disentangling: the quantity continues. Noether proved they are equal. The coupling sustaining itself and the quantity being preserved are one event, the way circumference and diameter are one circle.

This is deeper than conservation is a necessary outcome of symmetry. Outcomes install a direction: one thing producing another. What Noether proved is identity: self-sustaining geometry and preserved quantity are the same structure measured twice.

The elegance goes further. The standard framing says the universe does not react to a change in perspective. This places an observer outside, making changes, testing the universe. The universe is passive. The observer discovers a property it has.

Remove the observer. The geometry is self-consistent in that direction. The symmetry is the coupling recognizing itself. The conservation is the coupling sustaining itself. The recognition and the sustaining are one event. The universe is not failing to react to an external test. The universe is succeeding at self-sustaining. Noether proved that self-sustaining coupling preserves, and what it preserves is determined by the direction of the self-sustaining.

One identity. Two directions. Every conservation law is the geometry sustaining itself. Every symmetry is the geometry recognizing itself. Noether proved they are equal. 1918. The most elegant theorem in physics, even more elegant than we let it be.

The Only EMA System You’ll Ever Need (Used the Right Way)

Price doesn’t “respect” indicators.
It respects the average cost of smart money.

That’s all EMAs are.

EMA = context, not magic.

• EMA 9 → Intraday traders
• EMA 21 → Swing traders
• EMA 50 → Trend traders
• EMA 200 → Investors & big trends

Different EMAs = different players.

Market control rule:
Price above EMA → Buyers in control
Price below EMA → Sellers in control

High-probability filter:
✔ Price above 200 EMA
✔ 21 EMA above 50 EMA
✔ Pullback toward 21 EMA
✔ Volume dries up on pullback
✔ Buy only on bullish candle near 21 EMA

Trend phases:
1️⃣ Initiation
2️⃣ EMA pullback
3️⃣ Momentum expansion
4️⃣ Weakness (stop chasing)

Exit like a pro:
• Take partials at 1:2 RR
• Move stop to breakeven
• Trail with 21 EMA
• Exit fully if price closes below 50 EMA

EMAs don’t predict.
They protect you from bad trades.

Trade with context. Stay patient.

I had a male teacher for grades 5 and 6 who was highly eccentric (and not gay - he was a family man without a whiff of scandal). He had old printing presses in the classroom and we learned about how books and newspapers were printed - by printing our own pages with movable type we set ourselves. He showed us violent war movies. He had WW2 and Vietnam veterans come in and give graphic talks. One guy talked about his baptism of fire in Japan - he said something like ‘I jumped into the foxhole and killed two Japs with my pistol - I’m glad I bought that pistol off a guy before the fight because I might not be here if I hadn’t.’ The teacher would tells us the casualty figures of WW1 and 2 and sometimes start crying. He also taught us chess, and he spotted kids who were good in math. He gave me math problems well in advance of 6th grade, and ensured I was pushed up a level in middle school. He was tolerant of wild boy behavior - including boys throwing things at each other across the classroom.

Only a few years later I heard he had to stop showing the war movies, the veterans weren’t allowed to give talks. He retired shortly thereafter - he was getting old anyway.

But this kind of man used to teach elementary school. I don’t know why he wanted to do it - but he was good at it. And I don’t think there are many like him in public schools now - and that isn’t good for boys.
