@Psuperfresh I live north of Houston and have no need or desire to go to Dallas, Austin, or San Antonio.

Texas, the 8th largest economy on Earth, can connect 85% of its people with one rail network

@jackfreemanjr Journey (the real one) begs to differ. youtube.com/watch?v=VcjzHM…

Lots of reasons. This is gonna be long-winded. But I hope this helps 1. Houston was voted the worst city in America for live music. Part of the reason is because we have an extreme lack of mid sized to smaller venues in the city. There simply aren’t enough venues. So if you can’t put 1500 in a venue, or if you can’t fill one of our arenas/stadiums your pickings for available and viable establishments to perform here are slim. I’ve told every person i know that owns and operates night clubs/bars etc in this city that this is a problem and none of them seem to want to address the situation 🤷🏾‍♂️ 2. Artists rely on analytics. Our streaming metrics show us exactly who is listening and WHERE they’re listening. The artists teams use this data to map out tours where their fans are. Simply put, if the people aren’t listening in that city, we’re not coming. And 100 streams in that area isn’t enough. Based on the data. The venues may vary in certain cities. For instance, we may be able to pack a 2000 cap in Cleveland, but may need a 3-500 cap in Houston. If that is the case, then we need to find an available 3-500 cap in Houston that meats all of the tech specs needed to make a show happen the way it needs to run. That brings us back to #1. There aren’t enough of those 3. We are the 4th largest city. That doesn’t mean the artist has a great Houston base. Lots of artists don’t do well here, and part of the reason is because unless you’re one of the one percenters, or have a cult following, selling tickets in this city is a total crap shoot. People set an alarm for 1 percenters. They’ll hit snooze for other artists because they don’t understand that WE’RE likely on the hook for the selling of that venue. And they think they can just walk up and buy a ticket at the last minute

@EconWithNick False. The Deregulatory and Monetary Control Act of 1982 allowed for interstate banking.

It was illegal for banks to branch across state lines until 1994.

@Birdyword It's meaningless. Most cities were small when incorporated so these figures only include legal city limits. The real number is the metro area. Example: - Miami legal city limits: 443,000 - Metro Miami: 6.4 million.

The fact that there are only 12 cities with a population of more than a million people in a country the size of the US is endlessly fascinating

@chrisqu10069644 @jalex_819 I'm from Mexico and all that food Texans call tacos is garbage we would never eat here.

@jalex_819 I’m from Texas and I think that order is the worst breakfast taco one can order.

How to tell someone’s not from Texas:

@evanasmith And some of the lowest IQs to go with them.

🚨 Texas now has 4 of the 10 largest cities in America — more than any other state — and 5 of the 12 largest. In the last year, Fort Worth passed Jacksonville and Austin passed San Jose chicagotribune.com/2026/05/14/cen… #txlege #tx2026

@BowTiedPassport No mames wey!

In 1838, France invaded Mexico because a French pastry chef's shop was looted in Mexico City.

@statesman All the low digit IQ Nazis got triggered. Boo Hoo.

Texas filed more FCC complaints than any other state over Bad Bunny’s halftime show. Viewers criticized the performance’s Spanish lyrics, choreography and themes. statesman.com/entertainment/…

@statesman Todos los putos MAGANazis puede meterse sus quejas al culo.

@Jason_A_Scharf @anothercohen @Will_Gyde 90% of all startups fail in the first two years.

One of the issues @anothercohen, @Will_Gyde, & I talked about on the pod was how Austin is great for families, but struggling to get the 25 year old founder/engineer. New data shows us as the 2nd fastest market for Gen Z entrepreneurs. We may just grow our way out of the gap.

@TheEXECUTlONER_ First world problems. Of all the things to care about, this isn't one. A car is just a vehicle to get you from point A to point B.

This woman doesn’t want the car dealership’s logo on her car that she just bought from them. She takes a heat gun and removes the logo. I thought it was just me that it drives crazy but apparently not. If people are going to be driving around advertising for a dealership, shouldn’t the dealership pay you? 💯 Many said they won’t leave the dealership unless they remove it. Also, don’t want the dealership license player frame either. Does the car dealership logo bother you? Have you ever given it much thought? Or, do you think people like that are being ridiculous?

@Gebo___ Because no one is building new golf courses left and right.

Why don't we talk about the water consumption of an 18-hole golf course in the same way we do data centers?

@UnamunoAgain No proyectes tu ignorancia. Guyana Francesa conocida por la Isla del Diablo. Ve la película Papillon. Guyana conocida por Jim Jones y la tragedia de su culto. Suriname interesante mezcla de culturas y de habla holandesa.

Ya va siendo hora de preguntarnos qué carajos son estos tres, y por qué nunca nadie ha conocido a nadie de allí

@MerriamWebster Non chalant from the French no concern. The contrary would be concern or concerned.

We hope this post about orphaned negatives makes you gruntled. An ‘orphaned negative’ is a word that SHOULD feel like it has a related word, but doesn’t. ‘Nonchalant’ is an orphaned negative because there is no ‘chalant.’

@RaminNasibov The Great Tenochtitlan had running water before London.

What historical fact sounds fake but is true?

@PontistGirl The Aztecs had running water before London.

Oxford University is older than the Aztec Empire.
