Meat U Anywhere in Grapevine. Then, A walk down Main Street in Grapevine and the shops there are probably as close as you’re gonna get to small town Texas.
If you want True full on Texas flavor then Terry Black’s barbecue in the stockyards in Fort Worth. You know they filmed Landman there and he can pick up a cowboy hat and some boots if you want.
@saladandgo I was sorry to see you leave Texas but I can tell you what the problem was. Your dressings. legendary in-house options: simple olive oil vinaigrette, chunky blue cheese, ranch variations, honey mustard. Sturdier forks would help too. It was all about the poor dressing flavors. They were ruining your awesome salads.
Dutton Ranch proves the Yellowstone universe still has plenty of gas left in the tank, and maybe even its best spin-off yet. 🤠
By moving Beth and Rip out of Montana and into an entirely new frontier, the series finally gives two of the franchise’s most beloved characters room to evolve in fresh and surprisingly emotional ways.

Nope. The economy was in freefall since JFK, LBJ, Ford and Carter. Interest rates on mortgages were 9 PERCENT! Gas lines were 10 cars long!
We were all talking about building bomb shelters.
Thank Goodness Reagan did something about it. Hey Facts DO Matter. Go read a history book.

Exploring the Mark of the Beast Using Modern System Alignment Scoring Models (666 Framework)
System Alignment Score (0–21)
China: 20
Google: 19
Russia: 18
Youtube: 17
Iran: 17
Facebook: 16
EU: 14
USA: 11
X: 11
How We Got Here:
The Mark of the Beast - 666 is most likely referring to Nero Caesar. That's pretty much it.
HOWEVER, the book of Revelation was written approximately 50 years after Nero's Death. So why would a prophet predicting the future be referring to
a dead guy?
1. Nero was the perfect example of a dreaded oppressor. There were actually rumors that he wasn't actually dead for many years, sort of like Voldemort.
2. The Prophet John was predicting patterns of human power dynamics so people who live in the future could recognize them. As @jk_rowling wrote about in the Harry Potter books and Of course the great @JRRTolkien in the LOTR books. History repeats itself. Over and over.
SO. I made a simple algorithm using ChatGPT (sorry, Elon it's what I had open at 4 am) that defines what different modern systems do by asking questions that align with what the Mark of the Beast actually does.
Here we go:
Step 1: Define What the System Does
Can it track people?
Can it control what people see?
Can it limit what people can do?
Can it affect money, jobs, or access?
If a system can do these things, it has power.
Step 2: We Scored That Power
We used 7 simple categories:
Who is in charge? (central power)
Can it control money or jobs?
Does it track identity?
Can it punish or block people?
Can it watch behavior?
Can it control what people see?
Does it pressure people to agree?
Each category gets a score from:
0 = none
3 = very strong
Add them up:
0–7 = low control
8–14 = medium control
15–21 = high control
Step 3: We Made One Key Distinction
Not all power is the same.
Soft Power
Changes what you see
Influences ideas
Hard Power
Takes away access
Affects money or freedom
Hard power matters more.
A system that changes your feed is not the same as one that can block your income.
Step 4: What Raises a Score the Most
A system scores high when it combines:
Control over information (what you see)
Control over identity (who you are in the system)
Real consequences (money, access, limits)
When all three connect, the system becomes much stronger.
Simple Example
X (Twitter):
Influences what people talk about
But you can leave it
It can’t stop you from working
→ Medium score
YouTube or Facebook:
Control what people see
Can cut off income (for creators and business marketing)
Tie everything to your account
→ Higher score
China:
Tracks identity
Controls information
Can affect money, travel, and access
→ Very high score
The Big Idea
No single system controls everything.
But many systems are starting to connect.
Platforms control attention
Companies control data
Governments control rules
Together, they start to look like one system.
Final Thought
A system that tracks
A system that decides
A system that controls access
The question is no longer:
What is the mark?
The better question is:
Do you recognize the system?
Try the 666 Framework Yourself
Paste this into any AI tool:
Use the System Alignment Scoring Model (666 Framework) to evaluate a system.Score each from 0 (none) to 3 (high):Authority Centralization
Economic Gatekeeping
Identity Binding
Enforcement Mechanisms
Surveillance Capacity
Centralized Narrative Control
Ideological Alignment Pressure
Then:Add total (0–21)
Classify (Low / Medium / High)
Explain strengths and limits
Cheers!

@TFTC21 “no one could buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666".
