ERCOT won't be credible until they start communicating honestly. They completely left out the fact that 6,600 megawatts of gas and coal plants are currently offline. That's >30% higher than typical. They also got the hours wrong. 1/🧵#txlege #txenergy #energytwitter

(1/2) TXANS Update—8/17/23: ERCOT has issued a Voluntary Conservation Notice for 3 – 8 p.m. today, Aug. 17, due to extreme temperatures, forecasted high demand, & lower reserves due to low wind generation. Texans are asked to voluntarily reduce electric use, if safe to do so.

Texas is 77% Christian. It has had 17 mass shootings in the last 10 years. Japan is 1% Christian. It has had 0 mass shootings in the last 10 years. Texas has 29.5 million citizens. Japan has 125.7 million citizens. It’s the guns. Don’t bring Jesus into this.

America doesn’t have a gun problem. We have a heart problem. America doesn’t need gun control. It needs Jesus. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Allen, Texas.

"It was clear we needed to find a replacement mesh. And we needed to yank the carpet out from under our service-oriented architecture without anyone noticing," says Principle #SoftwareEngineer @splittingred. Read about the process at bigeng.io/service-mesh/.

Texas school districts sent a notice to parents that districts will be providing DNA kits so that children can be identified in case of emergency. GOP won’t pass legislation to protect your kids from guns, but they’ll make it easier to ID their bodies. This is America.

Oh, right before I forget. The Texas freeze ALSO contributed to a global plastics shortage. Can’t think of a policy failure more responsible for today’s shortages than Texas’ failed utility regulation.

Resin prices began to spike after the Texas freeze shutdown production facilities. Texas is responsible for 85% of US polyethylene production

1. Gonna do an OATH post-mortem here. My concept was that this was a spectrum made of taking one thing from 7 different spectrums. The Sword (Order) was not the opposite of Sorcery (Arcane), have different progressions in each cultural category would flavor the world.

Kyle also deserves credit for the theming of the suits. He suggested that the suits be aspects of the culture. That single idea pushed Oath from an "idea" to a "game." Here's one of the early drawings he did following some long conversations about how the game would grow.

Wow. We officially raised $1 million for Texas relief at 9:17pm. Thank you all so much. 🙏🏽 I’m at a loss for words. Always in awe of movement work. 💯% of this relief is going straight to Texan food assistance, homelessness relief, elder care, and more. secure.actblue.com/donate/ao…
