This is my favorite pic of Elvis. Partially cuz he looks cool. Mostly because my grandma took it. September of 1957. He stopped for breakfast in Cleveland, TX after a show in Houston. Props to my mom @Beckyha72662639 for preserving it. #Elvis45

@girdley And if not there’s always karaoke

@TexasChance That'll turn things around for them.

Private equity bought beloved Texas burger chain Whataburger in 2019. Customers have complained about a decline in burger/fry/drink quality and service since. PEs answer? Franchising and menu expansion. You see this pattern across business. “We aren’t growing? Let’s add a frappuccino machine!” — Makes me think of Domino’s and their turnaround last decade. They focused on fixing their pizza (it was bad) and ease of ordering (online/app). I have snobby friends that say “Dominos is good pizza” now. — It’s easy to dance around the core problems facing a business. And kid ourselves about what’s really wrong. It’s often that a business has lost sight of what made it successful in the first place.

@PeterDiamandis Brother I think that number is comically high. But I love the optimism!

Roughly 1.35B people now use generative AI tools, that’s 16.3% of the planet, up from almost nothing just a couple of years ago. That's the power and speed of technology.

@MikhailaFuller You said it better than I did

This sounds like a good thing until you realize it’s likely been replaced by pharmaceuticals. And isolation.

@GeoPayments K is amazing. And booze is clearly not for everyone!

Alcohol is Prison. 1209 Days since The Jailbreak. Now, it’s simply POISON. BTW, Chance, when I set a Appointment with K. Weaver Law, she wanted to come over one early Wednesday, I told her that was Captain kangaroo day. That was before I was used to singing “We’re Not Wearing Pants” 🤠 @TexasChance

@Mannifresh25 Los doce meses más rápidos de tu vida... hasta ahora

@Variety Ahem @MTSlive we got a new look situation

John Travolta and his daughter pose together on the #Cannes red carpet ahead of the “Propeller One-Way Night Coach” premiere

@ShawnRyan762 Nonsense. Horrible news. Alcohol is a necessary component of a well-functioning society. It’s the lubricant of conversation. The balls some people need to ask for that dance. The toast at the wedding.

Good news

@JesterJum That’s fair.

If we can't be taxed on unrealized gains, why the fuck are we being taxed on the new increased valuation of our home without selling it? THAT'S UNREALIZED GAINS!

@willmoriarty86 @DRDREon290 Kamala sticker lock

@DRDREon290 All the check marks: monologue in her (or someone’s) car. Talking with her hands. Doubtless a Pilates gym membership she has to put on Klarna

Devoooo out here chasing strange…

Alcohol consumption among U.S. adults has fallen to the lowest level recorded in Gallup’s nearly 90-year history.

@sgrif97852 @ExpressNews Yeah but they’ve tried to mirror the pricing of the more elevated experiences. I would take your words and apply to dickies or even Rudy’s but both of them have solid food and quality experience to me

@TexasChance @ExpressNews It's not terrible if you understand it for what it is. Bbq version of fast food. Fast food is terrible, but if you are coming home from a long day where you couldn't escape for lunch, you stop at a Fast food burger joint and it's like the greatest meal ever!

Bill Miller is the worst barbecue chain in America, tastemaking publication says expressnews.com/news/texas/art…

@robbie71w Ahem. Not to self promote while I totally self promote but yourheritagefilm.com and farmandranchfilms.com I love these stories!!

He’ll be 83 in a few weeks. He’s in his happy place on that saddle.

Many months ago I told Claude to name its agents and be creative. It did it for a week or so then stopped. Went back to just “Agent9” or whatever. Just now, outta nowhere, it started naming them again. We are so back.

@JordanHallWX @hollyshansen @MyRadarWX How can we sleep when our bridges are burning

The Hunggate Fire, south of Canyon, Texas, has completely destroyed a railroad bridge, leaving only remnants of the rail structure. The fire was last reported at 14,000 acres. @MyRadarWX #txwx #hunggatefire

See what happens when you can just let the damn receding hairlines go?! Cut that shit off

@redsteeze They’ve been holding a no good idea brainstorm since about 99

A losing presidential candidate calling for the end of the constitutional process for selecting a President feels awfully fascisty

@Polymarket How far down do I have to scroll until I find the Alabama aristocrats meme

JUST IN: Reading scores for students in grades 3 through 8 have fallen in 47 of 50 states since 2015.

@RussellFosterTX How can I sleep while our bridges are burning

In Texas, our droughts are so bad that whole bridges are burning. How exactly are we supposed to handle dozens of datacenters when we don't have enough water already, even for emergencies?
