@RLstaxwell Nope. I have a huge community of friends and friendly institutions and a 1950s neighborhood with trees where my kids play. But agree the aesthetics overall aren’t the best. The point is that compared to coastal cities, the problems and their contours aren’t even close.

@docMJP This is the exact problem. You look at dfw as a business, not a place to live. Living there sucks if you aren’t into walks around the cookie cutter homes and dinner at Texas Roadhouse

This is right. It’s amusing to see the Dallas hate. DFW is convenient and a great place to build—largest red state metroplex/most balanced red state city economy—and so it grows and grows while people who aren’t here complain about how much it sucks. Heh. Enjoy!

“Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded.” The Dallas metro area is on a trajectory to pass greater Chicago as the nation’s 3rd largest population center, yet recent days have produced dozens of posts ranting about DFW’s purported awfulness. Well, massive growth, major corporate relocations, and broad regional prosperity outweigh your anecdotes and idiosyncratic preferences. Don’t like Dallas? Good, stay home; it’s getting too crowded here.

I’ll take Dallas over Houston all day every day. But I almost never touch Dallas county. It’s the shadow place, Simba 🤣 I stay as far west as there are things to do. Tarrant/johnson/parker county. We also like to drive down to Hillsboro a lot. I didn’t come here to see more city. I want wide open amber waves of grain lol

@docMJP It’s frustrating to watch people call all of DFW “Dallas” Fort Worth and Arlington are completely different

@docMJP if the Right infrastructure was a train, we have 2 camps: 1 group fighting about whether the NEXT gen's trains will be nuclear/e/acc!, and the other group fighting about who gets to be the entertainment on board. Meanwhile, NO interest in laying track, running a train now...

I only tweeted this because of the famous philosophy article and the fact that I could not find a single person making the same joke

And none of this is about complaining. It's about winning and building what's needed now. Ideas. Talent. Capital. Execution. Media. If any of these five factors are too tied to the old world, and the old way of doing things, you will also fail. They must each work off a shared acknowledgment of our current reality. This is at the core of what I mean by “alignment”. matthewjpeterson.substack.com/p/exit-memos-0…

Over the last decade, I’ve interacted and helped lots of people who made The Turn out of unthinking acceptance of “mainstream” thought patterns and legacy institutions. Especially since 2020. Will be writing about it soon. But my contention is that there are two turns: the first is thinking for oneself and rejecting the enforced narratives, accompanied by a turning away. Next comes a period of excitement venturing outside the enforced norms, as you turn towards what’s outside of them. And then comes what I call the second turn: you realize how underdeveloped everything else is, and how little solid infrastructure it has, and how much it sucks and how many grifters and loser there are in it. That’s when the real work begins. If this is your experience, let me know. I’d like to hear your story and how you describe this experience.

@JamesMLoft All true. Your bias is correct. But people on here act like Dallas itself is like LA or SF or NYC or Philadelphia and that's just idiotic. Either they haven't lived in a coastal city or they haven't lived in Dallas.

@docMJP Completely agree- and while I may be biased I would say that if the above concerns anyone Fort Worth is the superior half of the metroplex The City of Cowboys and Culture - where the west begins! (As long as you’re going to Vote Red 😉)

She's talking about disclosing "alien" and UFO stuff.

White House spiritual advisor Paula White warns that there are decisions being made inside the White House that have left her shaken and deeply fearful about the future. She says she has held direct discussions with Marco Rubio, Susie Wiles, and President Trump regarding big decisions that will soon impact entire nations. "It’s absolutely hell, hounding you in every way you can imagine."
