This is going to be a multi-tweet thread. I will start out with the big news so as not to bury the lede. After 5.5 great years with the @HoustonChron /Houston Community Newspapers, today was my last day. In related news, I will be starting my MBA at the University of Alabama.

I had a 50/50 shot, and I chose the wrong one. 🤬 (Somehow two of the three contestants guessed neither of the two men I had narrowed it down to)

I wonder what @evan7257 thinks about this blatant Rice slander

Barstool Big 12@BarstoolBig12

Problem: Texas teams don’t play Texas teams Solution: Texan Tournament -Top 8 Texas Teams -2 guaranteed non-conf games (first round losers play) -Winner gets auto-bid to CFP and $10 Million -Protected rivalry games (Revivalry & Lone Star) -We see who really runs Texas

This Day In 1928: The first day sliced bread is sold. This is the ad from the bakery that sold the first slice — in Chillicothe, Missouri. Wonder Bread came in 1930. By 1933, 80 percent of bread in America was sold sliced!

The Founding Fathers declaring independence in July instead of, say, October really was poor planning on their part

This could seriously ruin one of my go-to pick up lines! "On a scale of chips and salsa at a Tex-Mex restaurant to North Korea, how free are you next Saturday night?"

Texas Monthly@TexasMonthly

Well, we’ve had a good run with free appetizers, but inflation has made the practice seemingly impossible to continue. texasmonthly.com/food/mexican-r…

If you're looking for an additional way to celebrate this Independence Day holiday weekend, I highly recommend the movie musical "1776" (which I just discovered is free to watch on YouTube with ad breaks)
