I get there aren’t many voters in the Davis Mountains but if I were a candidate I’d figure out a way to campaign out here.

“We’re currently investigating the ABA for anticompetitive practices in law school accreditation,” Webster said. “Though we have not brought an enforcement action, nor have we formed an opinion as to whether the ABA council, or its accreditation standards, violate antitrust law.”

It's getting hot in Texas' lawsuit claiming TikTok isn't keeping harmful material away from children.
TikTok says it's a media member, as defined by state law, in seeking to halt Oct. 12 trial as it appeals loss on 2 claims.
Texas outside lawyer @TonyBuzbee2 not buying it.

Very good (but uncomfortable) read on SEC sororities and GLP-1s.
"One University of Texas at Austin alum who was a size 8 says the sisters in her top sorority always asked her to take the photos. 'If I was in them, they’d never get posted to the account,' she says."
So much to unpack in this (excellent) @nymag story about sorority rush and GLP-1s. You could probably write an entire graduate thesis about mothers and daughters and body image based on these two paragraphs. thecut.com/article/sorority-…

Still hard to believe what we saw Saturday at the Glass Bowl.
With 2:23 left, Toledo faced 4th-and-8 at own 19, trailing by 14. ESPN’s win-probability model gave Temple 99.9 percent odds. The live money line on UT? +9800. No more than a couple thousand diehards remained.
Then ... a rally for the ages.
Column on the resilient Rockets and an unforgettable day in Toledo.

Good stuff.
This comes nearly 15 years to the day after then-Mayor Bloomberg defended Michael J. Fox against Larry David at a Parkinson's research fundraiser in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I was honored to present @realmikefox with the Bloomberg-@LaskerFDN Public Service Award for his work to accelerate cutting-edge Parkinson's research. He has shown how much one determined person can do to move scientific progress forward.

Texan Joe Rogan confessing he doesn't know enough about AG Ken Paxton -- maybe the most scrutinized official in his state -- makes one question why so many young men value his political opinions.
Ron White on Ken Paxton: “He’s a criminal. Just a piece of shit”
Joe Rogan: “I don’t know enough about him, but I do know they’re surprised Talarico’s ahead of him in the polls”
Ron White: “I’m not. I think people are sick of what’s going on right now in Texas. They’ve been in control for 30 years, what have they given us? Let somebody else fucking drive. They’re jacking with my marijuana, I’m ready to get em out”

Also alleged:
Rick Perry often missed early company meetings and “contributed nothing of substance, instead delivering his repeated presidential stump speech or rambling monologues about Ibogaine, a hallucinogenic substance that had no bearing whatsoever on Fermi’s business."

I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.
