@Liv_Boeree Howdy from the other side of Texas! I started an astro tourism company in Big Bend and would love to have you as a guest speaker. I think you would enjoy the dark skies and the general vibe of Terlingua. Great work with all the awesomeness you've been up to!

@JWDeChant @rsbenn @AlZeidenfeld @RandPaul Took years for my Texas ID. Biggest hurdle was proof of residence because I bought dirt. They wouldn't accept my 911 address assignment document because it was > 1 year old. They didn't care that addresses only get that document once.

@rsbenn @AlZeidenfeld @RandPaul Depends do you have ready access to your birth certificate, did you receive a birth certificate (I know many who do not due to living in rural areas), dos your name on your drivers license match your birth certificate (hope you’re not a married woman).

You need an ID to board a plane, buy cold medicine, or open a bank account. Requiring one to vote shouldn't be controversial. We need to pass the SAVE Act in the Senate.

@MaxQApp @Dillonshrop06 Do y'all think this will be visible from Big Bend or is it too southwesterly?

🪼 JELLYFISH ALERT 🪼 MaxQ is tracking the possibility of a twilight "Jellyfish" effect tonight if the current T-0 holds for the @Starlink 17-24 Mission from @SLDelta30 . This mission will see @SpaceX use Booster 1088 flying for its 14th time after a 37 day turnaround. This booster previously supported: - 9 Starlink Missions -NROL-126 & Starlink -NROL-57 -SPHEREx & PUNCH -Transporter 12 OCISLY and GO Beyond will be the recovery team and will attempt recovery of 1088 and both fairing halves. Stay up to date with the possibility of seeing a jellyfish effect at maxq.app/tools/jellyfish #twilight #SpaceX #launch #California #Prep4MaxQ

@ThirdTimeIan Yea I noticed that same trend recently too. Refuses to stop for me also. I've heard that Claude is the way to go these days?

Am I the only one seeing GPT molt into Buzzfeed? Nearly every question I ask, it ends with some sort of “i know something even WEIRDER” clickbait thing…and it ignores me of course when I tell it to stop.

With all eyes focused on Iran, Trump and DHS are pushing forward on border wall construction through Big Bend National Park. They will hand the Rio Grande to Mexico, destroy thousands of jobs, and ruin the last remaining wild West, all for less than 1% of all border crossings:

@ICuRaRook Aye. It's too good of a squeeze spot. If I'm villain I'm stoked to rip any suited ace, KQ, and pairs. Perhaps that actually makes shoving better for ICM. I dunno.

@devopoker Not a bad plan at all. I got excited and wanted to establish dominance in this micro.

🃏 Hand of the Day 🃏 1st hand of the Final Table HUD stats haven’t loaded but the opener is 50% VPIP

@ICuRaRook I want to make it 9bb to induce, esp given 50% VPIP.

BREAKING: more than 130 orgs, outfitters & rural Texas businesses are urging Congress to block funds for border wall construction through Big Bend. Walls here would cut off public river access, decimate rural economies & block wildlife from their only reliable water source.

@yupimchaz @DachshundColin Also the name of the.. Austrian archduke whacked by ... Somebody? In 1914 to start WWI?

@DachshundColin I hate that half of the likes are likely people who don’t know history enough to realize how good this tweet actually is

Imagine if WWIII starts with the IDF assassinating Franz Ferdinand.

@JohnnyBaxPoker @BeL0WaB0Ve Those Noodles last shorter bets were amazing.

True story @devopoker @BeL0WaB0Ve

@RGHall @WPT @texascardhouse @JohnnyBaxPoker Funny that it's quad fours both times!

@WPT @texascardhouse Heard @JohnnyBaxPoker did this once and was right.

you EVER folding QUADS? 😖 via @texascardhouse

This is excellent commentary and visuals from my friend about the fight of our life. A wall through Big Bend will not do anything functional. Instead it will waste a ton of money with it's estimated cost of $25 million per mile and ruin the place I call home.

@ViperFergy @jaybsauceda Agreed. But spending $40 billion on a wall through two public parks where people don't cross is a gross waste of money and landscape.

@devopoker @jaybsauceda Migrant visas, legal immigration, all good. Illegal crossings, not good.

I’ve spent a significant amount of time in the Big Bend region. The most striking thing about the border wall debate is the bi-partisan uproar against it. Locals are befuddled by the lack of warning and law enforcement are adamant that it’s an unnecessary expense. As Terrell County Sheriff @SheriffThad put it, the terrain itself is a God-given barrier. Spend any time there at all and you’ll understand why. It’s an unforgiving, desolate, yet remarkably beautiful region. The numbers don’t pencil out for a need and the wall is a solution in search of a problem. Let’s not destroy one of the most beautiful parks unnecessarily. Let’s not destroy a local tourism economy. Let’s treat Big Bend like the sacred land it is. My colleague @Forrest4Trees covered the backlash to the plan here: texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

@maroonish99 @jaybsauceda @johnoeffinger75 They did not. Perhaps they voted for Trump, but no local supports a physical wall.

@jaybsauceda @johnoeffinger75 The locals voted for it.

@OleBeezer @jaybsauceda No there isn't. 100.00% of locals would disagree with you and this county voted red last election. I have spent tens of thousands of hours and slept hundreds of nights on the border and never experienced anything unmentionable.

@jaybsauceda You’re full of shit. There are many witnesses to the trains of people coming across.

@ViperFergy @jaybsauceda They come here for jobs that we aren't willing to do.

@jaybsauceda Big Bend is beautiful. I've been there many times. As for a wall, you don't need one if we stop giving those who cross free stuff—jobs, housing, benefits, bank accounts, check-cashing services, nothing. Stop giving them free stuff, and they won't want to come in the first place.

Not even a majority of Texas Republicans want a border wall through Big Bend, my guy. It's also just a dumb idea. Aside from being an incredible place of natural beauty, Big Bend is a natural border wall. You cannot build a wall that is harder to scale than those mountains.

@Fongistan @jamestalarico The park is over 800,000 acres and includes over 100 miles of the Rio Grande. Wherever the wall is built, it will make Texas smaller and prevent Americans' access to the river.

@devopoker @jamestalarico Rivers have a bank. Looks to me that Big Bend National Park is quite a distance away from the Rio Grande.

President Trump wants to build a wall through Big Bend National Park. One of the most sacred places in Texas. Texans have a message for him: Come and take it.

@PhilipHallole8 @jamestalarico I'm not sure exactly where that photo is, but it's certainly not along the river. Everything is scenic and remote out here.

@devopoker @jamestalarico Is that picture on the border or did he pick a scenic picture from somewhere else in the park?
