Texas continues to attract major investment in emerging industries, including data infrastructure and advanced technology. Projects of this scale require long-term planning, regulatory clarity, and confidence that disputes will be resolved fairly and predictably. A stable legal system plays an important role in supporting that environment.

The rise of external memory (writing, computers) shifted how modern humans memorize, or really don’t, things compared to the ancients. No one is forming memory palaces or internalizing long epics anymore. Interesting to think what the rise of external thinking will do to us.

Good piece. Near term impact on oil outside of headlines is minimal. Best case with a stable regime will take years to recover. By then, the world will need it.

Around 15 years ago we were the laughing stock of the MLB, I never imagined anything close to a run like this Despite it ending, I can proudly say I never took it for granted. Thank you for what was probably the best run any MLB team will ever have in our lifetime @Astros

@RMFifthCircuit Amazing! Congrats, Raffi.

I’ll have more to say about this, but our little law firm has signed a lease for our next 10 years, moving from the Houston Galleria to downtown Houston. It’s very exciting for us - we really feel like we’re taking a big step in our continuing growth. bizjournals.com/houston/news/2…

@lgfp @jmisci SDU is the correct answer.

@jmisci In the US, SEA is also fantastic and I like the LGA approach quite a bit. But nothing in the world compares to SDU (Rio de Janeiro).

Airports with the best views as you’re landing: O’Hare and PDX. If you’re flying into either of those, you better get a window seat on the left side of the plane. Do any other airports come close?

@MattMackowiak Congrats, Matt!!

Some news.

@joshjcraddock Amazing! Congrats, JC!

Everyone knows the Manhattan Project. But NO ONE remembers the OTHER secret project that helped win WWII. It wasn’t built in a lab. It was built with welders, bulldozers, and 1,400 miles of steel. It moved oil NOT uranium. And in just 350 days—under the threat of Nazi U-boats—a pipeline was laid from Texas to New Jersey to fuel the Allied victory. No headlines. No glory. Just good ole' American resolve. This is the forgotten story of the Big Inch Pipeline—the industrial twin of the Manhattan Project. Massive kudos to my friend and teammate Grant Brown for unearthing and storytelling one of the greatest engineering feats in modern history on The Industrialist. You’ll want to read this. 👇

@1thread6flags Wow, I didn’t know the Fort hosted so many events. We gotta bring the daughter (7th gen descendant of LTM Plummer) to some of these.

Posting this for the good people who run Old Fort Parker Historic Site in Limestone County …

@Tejanobrown Amazing, congrats dude!

@pickeringenergy No street parking left in BO! Wild stuff.

Big protest on deportations in Houston this afternoon. I live about 10 blocks from several I59 overpasses where people like to hang signs/flags. The massive phalanx of cars rolling thru my neighborhood blasting music (turned up to “11”) isn’t necessarily winning me over.

Today the most consequential jurist in Texas history retires. The iconic Chief Justice @NathanLHecht built a sterling, 43-year judicial legacy. NLH = the GOAT, the best of us, a Mount Rushmore figure in the life & law of Texas. The Lone Star State owes him an unpayable debt. 🐐⚖️

Cold blooded! The @HoustonRockets will get ‘em next time.

As many frustrations I have with the NYT, and I have a lot, it’s worth noting it is the only outlet in the world that could have done this story.

What do actual landmen think of Taylor Sheridan’s new hit series “Landman”? Check out the latest episode of @nimblephatty’s podcast to find out. Great stuff, Chuck, @Landmannery, @LandmanLife and @NewsFinOil. My own two cents on Landman is that despite the Hollywoodification, the series does a pretty good job explaining our industry (and why it’s important) to the broader public, which is more receptive than it has been in a long time amid the complexities and challenges of the energy transition era.

@FracSlap Lonesome Dove, dude!

I haven't read a fictional book in 20 years. Shill me your favorite.

1/ It’s going to be a wild ride for executive power during Trump 2.0. Here is a quick list of important issues where executive power is likely to be pushed hard, rethought, resisted, and/or, when possible, litigated. What am I missing?

@patrick84_03 Feges rocks! Don’t stop.
