Love this homage to Spider-Man’s debut on the cover of Amazing Fantasy 15 (1962)

Aquifers work like bank accounts. Use too much and you go into overdraft 🚰💸 The @UN has a name for it: "water bankruptcy." And it's already happening in parts of India, north-eastern China, and the United States: unu.edu/ehs/news/water… via @UNUniversity

@Smuphy I'll shoutout @raywalkerjoshua here! His balance between lighter and heavier songs is top-tier

The imminent depletion of water supplies in Corpus Christi threatens to cut off the flow of jet fuel to airports and oil exports from one of the nation’s largest petroleum ports, triggering potential shockwaves through energy markets in TX and beyond. texastribune.org/2026/03/08/tex…

@bradluttrell "An extension of the live sets" is a perfect way to think of this album! I'm really enjoying it. The sax on the album is great and feels similar to how they worked it into songs when I saw them last year

Listening again this morning. I was not mind melted like some (most?) of y'all but honestly didn't get a solid listen in. Sometimes I've had rough first listens that turn into albums I love. I will say this album felt like an extension of the live sets. Less surprising if you've seen Stu and the boys get down live, IMO.

190 years ago, Texas declared independence. Today, Texas is declaring something else: A new era of American manufacturing. VVater is proud to call Texas home. We're reindustrializing this great state and country one advanced water system at a time. Happy Texas Independence Day from America’s Next Water Company.

It’s Texas Independence Day!🤠 We celebrate the bold, independent spirit that makes Texas the greatest state in the nation! Since 1836, Texans stand strong no matter what comes our way. Together, let's stay proud, stay prepared, and keep that Lone Star legacy shining bright!

Everything's bigger in Texas, including our pride in this great state. Remember to be proud of who you are on the road, and drive like a Texan: kind, courteous and safe. Happy Texas Independence Day! #DriveLikeATexan

In honor of Texas Independence Day today, The Alamo and Whataburger are launching a special collaboration featuring one-of-a-kind t-shirts! 🤩 Both shirts are available for a special one-day-only price of $18.36! bit.ly/4u87GTi

March 2, 1836. A day etched in Texas history. It’s the day Texas was declared a republic, despite the odds. It’s Texas Independence Day! That day, Texas legends were born. And today, we honor those Texans, their independence and fortitude.

Update: he got one! 9 copies left at that Austin record store. Now I just need to convince him to have a listening party

A friend of mine made it to one Austin record shop about 30 minutes after JBS’s posts, but he sure wasn’t the first one to make it there
