A KBTX twofer.

Keep the data center hysteria alive, and take a dig at Paxton.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

To be fair, he makes it *really* easy to take swipes at him.

If the letter was sent by USPS then they won't get it until after the election. So both can be true.

Kinda curious under what legal authority the AG can demand water reporting? Is there some law under which industrial users are required to report water usage? If not, the letter is political theater. If so, I would guess the data centers were planning to comply already, so the letter is political theater.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has implemented strict statewide rules, guardrails, and a temporary permit moratorium on data center developments to protect the state's power grid, water supply, and local communities


I image under this legal authority.

I like that you used "legal authority" and "AG" in the same sentence.

Not wild geese. Domesticated geese. Actually looks like a domesticated duck to me. Nuisance. Not regulated by game laws. Carry on.

That first picture could have almost come from my backyard.

Front Duck = khaki Campbell duck
Black head = Cayuga duck
My wife has both of those… most definitely not wild and not geese

Tail end on the left = likely another Cayuga
Black and white with red face in the back right = probably a Muscovy, but wife doesn't have any of those.
