“It’s important for Dallas-Fort Worth to be seen as movie-loving,” he said. “Otherwise, we never get anything that’s art house, that’s strange, that’s off-the-walls.”

Texas’ THC ban thrown out: Gov. Abbott calls special session to address $8B industry 🍀

Abbott, a Republican, stayed quiet for most of his 10 years in office on the issue of medicinal or recreational THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive compound in marijuana.

As warming climate hammers coffee crops, South Sudan tests a tougher species ☕🌍

As Earth's warming climate causes problems for big coffee producers, some are looking to a rarely cultivated species that may stand up better to drought and heat. It's Excelsa, which is native to South Sudan and a handful of other African countries.

Rare coffee bean excelsa might take the place of arabica, robusta ☕

Excelsa bean coffee tastes sweet — unlike robusta — with notes of chocolate, dark fruits & hazelnut. It’s more similar to arabica, but generally less bitter & may have less body.

The tree’s deep roots, thick leathery leaves & big trunk allow it to thrive in extreme conditions such as drought & heat where other coffees cannot. It’s also resistant to many common coffee pests & diseases.

@sjvn "How Does Never Work For You?" is one of favorites. I've bitten my tongue countless times when what I really wanted to say out loud was exactly this. 😂 📆

@sjvn Dylan has done that a few times in his career. Infidels, Oh Mercy, Time Out of Mind, Love and Theft, Rough & Rowdy Ways. What an enigma that guy is.

I've even come around to some of the tracks on those in-between albums over the years. The Coen Brothers helped with "The Man in Me".

I'm even eager to see "A Complete Unknown" even though the story is pretty well covered. Most of all keen for the new generation of fans like Swifties and Timothee Chalamet swooners to discover his work.

@sjvn @TheNewStack Thx for this lovely write-up. As a user of Ubuntu I enjoyed reading his weekly email newsletter to the community. So sorry to hear about his passing. 😢

@sjvn I try to watch that Gently Weeps video regularly. It's so choice.

Years later I heard Tom Petty on his Buried Treasure answer a fan's letter about recording something with Prince. He mused that he needed to reach out and give that guy a call sometime.

We pay way too much attention to the polls.

How Texas pollsters get their job done when everyone is screening their calls

“Pollsters are not predictors, they're not looking into a crystal ball.” Pollsters are “just giving us a sense of what the snapshot of the electorate looks like at that moment based upon the factors that they have determined are relevant to their poll.”
