When does sports become too important? When do you cross that line? Is this the line?

Chuck Norris didn't join the Marine Corps...the Marine Corps applied to him. Heaven’s streets have always been guarded by Marines. Today, Chuck Norris reported for duty. We mourn the passing of Chuck Norris, a @usairforce veteran, who also became an honorary Marine in 2007 when awarded the title by then Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James T. Conway. Chuck Norris is one of just over 100 individuals to be awarded the title of Honorary Marine in the entire 250-year history of the Corps. Some missions may require a battalion, but this one just requires an Honorary Marine. #USMCHistory #USMC #SemperFidelis

An absolutely excruciating moment at the Georgia Supreme Court this week. Justice Peterson pressed state attorney Deborah Leslie over her citations to cases that apparently don’t exist.

@MurrayHillGuy1 And all of our friends who live in town (Houston, Dallas, and Austin) don’t have kids, and their social life revolves around bars and happy hours. Was cool at 25, boring at 35, and miserable at 45.

@MurrayHillGuy1 There are actually things to do in the suburbs, but letting the kids ride their bikes around the neighborhood with their friends while I have something on the smoker for dinner and sit on the front porch drinking a beer & listening to music…that’s a damn good life.

How do people in the suburbs genuinely look forward to Friday night on the couch, Saturday morning at Costco, and call that a weekend? Like you really moved out of the city just to LARP as your parents at 34?

@shillman1 @KellyMorrisonMN @atrupar Hand the woman a cork to plug it up.

@KellyMorrisonMN @atrupar Right, what would the hospital do if you didn’t have ID? Make you hold it in?

@aakashgupta And Katy’s boom is primarily due the availability of cheap farmland. Fulshear and Rosenberg are seeing growth from the same thing.

@aakashgupta Comparing The Woodlands to Katy? They’re 2 totally different suburbs built to target 2 completely different types of buyers. TW was built to be middle to upper class with large homes and community feel. Katy was a small town that has seen a growth boom in the past 25 years.

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

🕊️ BREAKING: Chuck Norris has died. Details: tmz.me/didYp9I

High Point student radio call of the game is what it is all about

FWIW Prime Minister Takaichi was born 20 years after Pearl Harbor

Wild year at Rodeo Houston: the county judge was banned, multiple fights involving gang members, and people walked around naked at the Lizzo concert. Now Beyonce's mom's gumbo stand has been shutdown because people got diarrhea.

@caleb_aeon @CollinRugg He’s there in the first place because his parents failed him.

People will say “he deserves it” because of the crime, and they’re not wrong. But we also need to ask bigger questions. How does an 18-year-old reach a point where armed robbery becomes an option? Is the system only there to punish at the end, or should it also prevent people from getting there in the first place?

NEW: Family of a Texas teen loses it as judge sentences him to 25 years in prison for robbing a convenience store. Judge Raquel West was seen torching 18-year-old Caden James Fontenette before handing out the sentence. "There was a time some years ago that there really wasn't even a question... State's attorneys were recommending youthful offenders probation. Let's give everybody an opportunity..." West said. "You don't have a good likelihood of being successful if I were to put you on probation... I'm going to sentence you to a term of 25 years." Fontenette pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery for a 2025 incident where he and two others robbed a convenience store at gunpoint. The suspects were caught on camera assaulting the store clerk. Fontenette will likely be in his 40s when he is released from prison.

@kolemichael @DeAngelisCorey As much as I hate teachers unions, Texas doesn’t have them.

@DeAngelisCorey It's funny how liberals think CEO's are overpaid, yet they let this happen. I'm sure the Teachers Unions have nothing to do with this

These 15 superintendents in Texas make more than the President. Harlandale: $627k Barbers Hill: $513k Killeen: $508k Cy-Fair: $496k Lake Travis: $468k Houston:$462k Garland:$457k Crowley:$453k Ysleta:$451k La Joya:$441k Ft Bend:$438k Tomball:$431k Katy:$426k Klein:$421k NW:$404k

@SiouxZen7 @DeAngelisCorey @CLC1113 Oil money from all of the refineries within the district and a superintendent/district that aligns with most of the people who live in the district. Not saying it justifies it, but that’s a big reason why.

@DeAngelisCorey @CLC1113 Barbers Hill ISD has 1 high school and less than 8000 students TOTAL! How is this even possible???

@AstrosOptimism2 My buddy from college is a Rangers fan and he sent me a text after that HR saying “why do teams keep pitching to that midget?” 😂

The most clutch, forgotten home run of all time

@kari_tacoma @alphafox The way it should be.

@alphafox 🤣🤣 My parents did this every year. We’d go on a family vacation and then my parents would go on another vacation with just them two.

The perfect vacation doesn’t exi…!

Oh I’m pretty confident he’s consuming meat regularly.
