Truly embarrassing this is the daily scene at the airport.
It should be the number one transit priority to expand this airport.
Not in the 2030s - now.

Here is your 6AM Departures Hall check-in! We are seeing very long lines for TSA screening and airline bag check. We encourage you to get here 2.5 hours before your domestic flight, 3 for international.

This is so, so sad. 😞
Russ Finney@rfinney
Savitha was one of our superstar students at the UT Austin McCombs school of business - she was set to graduate this May, and then she was on to start her career at a big professional services firm. She was a double major with honors. Involved in student organizations - a light in the classroom. Absolutely crushing to lose her. That location on 6th Street is pretty far west of Congress (toward Lamar), and considered safe by our students. Really no words to express the wave of sadness rolling over @UTexasMcCombs and @UTAustin. Other students are still in the hospital in very serious conditions - this is a very tough week for our community, the families, and #ATX in general. Thanks for releasing this information.

@LoewyLawFirm Some of us still remember the local hospitals asking for cat litter donations for their patient’s bed pans in 2021. I’m not taking chances.

Garbage clickbait.
It’s gonna be over by Monday, hardly 2021.

TEXAS folks — plan for impacts comparable to what happened in February of 2021. By Saturday night, temperatures will be 35-40 degrees below average… in the teens to lower 20s. Ice may have already knocked out power. Many people will lose heat, and their homes will quickly become dangerously cold. Please put plans into place IN ADVANCE and coordinate with elderly loved ones to ensure they are able to stay warm.

@anothercohen The man speaks the truth. Never been to another city that has places like these.
Literally last night:

I think my favorite part of living in Austin is the fact that we have at least 75 restaurants and coffee shops that have playgrounds for kids.
I have yet to visit another city in the US that’s like this

Behind every legendary CEO is a badass Executive Assistant.
Here are 7 who built empires while their bosses got all the credit:

@AngelaPaxtonTX This is a tremendous HIPPA violation to disclose this publicly

Today, after 38 years of marriage, I filed for divorce on biblical grounds.
I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation. But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage.
I move forward with complete confidence that God is always working everything together for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose.

A lovely story of survival and a last minute second chance at life.
This is Cercei who was due to be euthanized tomorrow here in New York.
She was too fat, too scared and too old. Nobody wanted her. That changes today… (1/8) 🧵

On February 4th, I wrote a post on @X in which I said that:
“I would not be surprised to find that [United Healthcare’s] profitability is massively overstated due to its denial of medically necessary procedures and patient care,” and I encouraged the @SECGov to investigate the company.
The company then attacked me and accused me of market manipulation. At the time the stock was trading in excess of $500 per share.
Now that the facts are in, it is entirely clear that the rot is deep at UNH.
As I have previously explained, we have never had a position long, short or otherwise in UNH.
Bill Ackman@BillAckman
When a company, in this case United Healthcare, attacks its critics, the probability that it has committed fraud or is guilty of a crime increases substantially. This morning the DOJ announced an investigation into UNH’s Medicare billing practices. The DOJ did not do this lightly. My psychological short here is paying off and I would avoid this stock. When you find two cockroaches, it is almost a certainty that there are many more. And a half a trillion market cap for a health insurer makes no sense. I expect that there are many whistleblowers who have shared their work with the government and that more will be inspired to do so. And yes, UNH still has not apologized to @EPotterMD.

Morning Routine (as a parent of 3 young kids):
3:30 a.m. — I’m jolted awake by the faint whimper of Kid #1 (age 4), who’s standing in the doorway dripping like a soggy sponge. “I peed the bed.” Fantastic. I stumble out of bed, strip the sheets, and throw them in the wash. Kid #1 demands to sleep in my bed now, so I’m sandwiched between a damp child and my snoring partner. Sleep is officially canceled.
4:15 a.m. — Kid #2 (age 2) decides 4:15 a.m. is the perfect time to have a night terror. I shuffle in, exhausted, grab them from their crib and try to rock them back to sleep. I fall asleep briefly in the rocking chair.
5:30 a.m. — Kid #3 (age 6) wakes up and declares they’re starving. I attempt to pour cereal, but Kid #1 spills the milk, Kid #2 throws the cereal like confetti, and Kid #3 insists they’ll only eat pancakes shaped like dinosaurs. The kitchen turns into a war zone. I’m waiting for Gordon Ramsey to walk in.
6:00 a.m. — Time to dress them. Kid #1 refuses pants because “they’re itchy,” Kid #2 runs naked screaming about freedom, and Kid #3 demands a superhero cape instead of a jacket. I’m wrestling socks onto tiny feet while someone’s wiping snot on my leg. I consider duct tape or a straight jacket as a fashion statement.
6:30 a.m. — Brushing teeth becomes a negotiation. Kid #1 gags dramatically, Kid #2 eats the toothpaste, and Kid #3 uses the toothbrush to “paint” the mirror. I’m wondering if dental hygiene is really worth this fight. It’s not.
7:00 a.m. — I realize Kid #3’s homework is missing, Kid #1 doesn’t have their lunch packed, and Kid #2 has show and tell that wasn’t planned for. I’m digging through backpacks, yelling about time management to children who don’t know what a clock is, and questioning all of my life choices.
7:15 a.m. — The Breakfast Sequel. They’re hungry again. I toss granola bars at them like a zookeeper feeding seals, but Kid #1 wants yogurt, Kid #2 spills it on the dog, and Kid #3 cries because it’s not dinosaur-shaped. I’m wiping floors and cursing the inventor of snacks.
7:30 a.m. — Car loading chaos. Getting them into the car is like herding caffeinated squirrels. Kid #1 forgets their lunch, Kid #2 cries because they car seat straps are too tight and Kid #3 screams about a lost toy that’s under their butt. I blast “Baby Shark” to drown out the madness.
8:15 a.m. — Final sprint. We’re late. Shoes are untied, hair’s unbrushed, and someone’s face is still covered in yogurt. We packed half of the house before we left. It doesn’t matter. We’re almost home free.
8:30 a.m. — Drop-off victory. I shove them into their classrooms, wave at the teacher with a fake smile, and peel out of the parking lot like I’ve escaped a hostage situation. I join a Teams call on the car ride back home, one of many consecutive inefficient meetings to ruin the rest of my day.
8:45 a.m. — Coffee, nicotine, and creatine are consumed. A copious amount of each. I don’t understand how dual working parents function in this economy.

Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.
