Huge congrats are due to @MichaelEWebber on being the recipient of the Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Prize in Education, one of the most prestigious honors you can get in the field. He's the author of Power Trip: the Story of Energy, Thirst for Power, and Tex Machina, which I adapted into films. How cool is that? CONGRATS MICHAEL @UTAustin

If I had a bunch of startup money, I would start Luddite Enterprises: consumer goods with knobs and buttons, no touchscreens, no apps, just some knobs and buttons. I’m telling you this is the Prego Extra Chunky of consumer goods.

I love to see this bipartisanship from the transition teams of the governor-elect, Lt. governor-elect and speaker-in-waiting.

Thank you to six former Speakers for agreeing to serve as my transition team as I prepare to become Speaker of the Texas House.  They are all friends who understand how the House works best for the people we serve.

New study from @BloombergNEF shows that grid connected data centers are cleaner than fully off grid DCs, even at 1,000 hours (~11% of the year) running on backup diesel. assets.bbhub.io/professional…

This is anecdotal, but the vast preponderance of the undergraduate engineering students I speak with say they want hands-on, hardware-focused internships. After decades of focus on coding, I think this desire for tactile engineering is refreshing. Hats off to the companies offering hardware internships.

"I'm coming for the pimps" is not what I expected as the language on the floor of the TxLege in the wake of the blue tsunami, but I'm on board with this tone and this policy.

Thinking of last week's elections, this quote by John Dewey from 1916 feels timely: "Democracy has to be born anew every generation and education is its midwife." I learned that quote this morning from John Silvanus Wilson, Jr. at an event w/ @PennGSE and the McGraw Center for Education Leadership who are setting the pace for how to rebuild trust in education and democracy.

Let's lay HVDC transmission networks along these rail lines.

Y'all...let's do this. High-speed rail is game-changing for cities and regions b/c of the economic activity they facilitate, the cleanliness, the comfort, the safety...and they remove cars from the roads, so those who want to drive have a better experience, too. We all benefit from high-speed rail.
