@barstoolsports @byjoelanderson we’re gonna see sub 9.5s regularly in our lifetime

There’s a 16 year old named Gout Gout He may be the fastest person alive

@KevG163 The soundtrack is freakin savage

Heaven Birthday, Karl Kassulke 🕯️ Aggressive 10-year strong safety for the #Vikings' early "Purple People Eaters" defense A one-time Pro Bowler and Second-Team All-Pro, Karl was a savage hitter and exceptional kick blocker. Tragically, he was left paralyzed from the waist down following a motorcycle accident prior to training camp in 1973. 1969 NFL Champion and a member of the Vikings' 25th Anniversary Team #SKOL

Austin is looking like a painting this evening. Just beautiful.

@TheStalwart We love our agricultural products.

Texas never legalized marijuana like New York did. But I swear, THC products (Delta 9 or whatever) seem far more available here. Every gas station has a ton of cannabis products for sale.

@AdamBreneman81 @NextUpBreneman @usat Hopefully just performative for social media and not actually true. Would be wildly absurd and irresponsible. Also, jumping straight to 40 pounds would literally be a shortcut. So “no shortcuts” doesn’t really apply…

@byjoelanderson You and Lane going at it like Dale Robertson and Dan Pastorini

@byjoelanderson Do it Joel. It would cause Van to completely melt down.

Damn this is a good ass job.

So how will we pay for single payer healthcare? One of the things I admire about Bernie Sanders is he is honest that people need to pay taxes to fund foundational social services in healthcare, education, & childcare. The taxes should be progressive. But the math needs to work.

@JomboyMedia Just doubling down on the fake tough guy shit. Are the games a matter of life or death, or an exhibition? It’s all too embarrassing. Team America World Police BaseBall Club.

Robert J. O’Neill spoke in Team USA’s clubhouse ahead of their game vs. Canada O’Neill was one of the members of SEAL Team Six that carried out the mission to kill Osama bin Laden

@NoahMF Fantastic idea. I’ve always thought a Texas-centric Page 6 type deal would be must read.

If I had true Fuck You money I would publish a magazine at a heavy loss that would have a monthly vanity print edition but an Erica Grieder at Burka Blog level actual constant online presence, all about Houston politics with an emphasis on palace intrigue.

The Jones Act has 4 requirements: Vessels must be U.S. built. Vessels must be U.S. owned. Vessels must be U.S. crewed. Vessels must be U.S. flagged. The crippling part of the Jones Act is that U.S.-built U.S. shipyards, for a variety of reasons, are incredibly inefficient. We don't have that many of them, and they cost about five times what a ship from South Korea would cost. As a person who actually believes in trade, I fully would love for South Korea to become our US shipyard. We just buy ships from them because they're good at making them. Coastal water transport in the U.S. could be 60% cheaper. Because of the Jones Act, it's actually cheaper to ship goods from the U.S. to a foreign country and back to the U.S. than between two ports, which is completely bonkers insane! As a byproduct, we have killed all of the growth within the Mississippi, which should be the most powerful inland economic advantage in the world. Maintaining the requirement of U.S.-owned, U.S.-crewed, and U.S.-flagged is perfectly fine and in line with my general national security concerns, but U.S.-built has destroyed our shipping industry. There's tens of billions of GDP lying on the table here, and a direct step in reducing our dependency on foreign suppliers. It's also how you kickstart rebuilding an American shipyard industry. If you 10x the number of U.S. ships working in ports, you start building all of the maintenance businesses at U.S. ports, and the demand increases. The U.S. bill requirement of the Jones Act is horrifically destructive to America and, in particular, horrifically destructive to middle America, and it should be destroyed.

everybody ripping off Steely Dan these days

They basically have to pray for a hurricane to meet their water needs for the rest of the year. 2026 in a nutshell.

this story really has everything

@jamesrambin The former CEO of the Port of CC is literally named Straw Bridge. This story was written by Pynchon.

Absolutely explosive story coming tomorrow. Corpus Christi is plummeting towards imminent economic ruin.

I can’t make it this year but I’m plotting out a year where I do all the things back home that I miss or have never done: Texas Relays, the Houston Rodeo, State Fair, OU-Texas, UT-A&M and a couple TCU games. Ofc this all would be easier if I lived back in Texas, huh? Lol

@byjoelanderson @ringer Joel bring the ringer tailgate to Texas Relays April 1-4 in Austin

At the top of @ringer Tailgates, I was talking about a high school freshman from Texas who ran 10.1 last year and finished fourth in the Class 6A 100 final. Well … he’s a sophomore now lol.

Was scrolling through old photos on my phone, and while I’m not a hockey fan, if Houston ever did get a NHL team this would be the ideal team name and aesthetic.

It is 2046. President Ocasio-Cortez is being criticized for withdrawing from Iran too hastily, leaving allied translators and militias vulnerable to retribution from the mullahs retaking power
