And the State of Texas Permanent School Fund will be yanking $8.5 BILLION out of Black Rock.
Bye bye Black Rock
"The State of Texas is terminating a massive $8.5 billion investment with trillion-dollar asset manager BlackRock over the state's determination that the firm is engaged in a boycott of energy companies."

Let's not forget about some triggered musicians & artists boycotting the 2024 SWSX festivities in Austin. Governor Abbott told those boycotters to get out of the Lone Star State & don't come back.

Barge hits a bridge in Galveston, Texas, damaging the structure and causing an oil spill
Officials say a barge has hit a bridge in Galveston, Texas, spilling oil into surrounding waters and closing the only road to a small island.

Ah fuck, that's not good; at least it's not as bad as what happened in Baltimore.
However, this is the only rail line onto Galveston Island.

Well, at least the actual road seems fine.
(fucking newsies can't title their damn shit correctly.)
Its just the rail-line (in stabbing range) that is fucked.
On the other claw, that road-bridge is probably going to be choked with surveyors, technichians, engineers, and crane-operators (and cranes) for the next few months as the beauracrats dither about how to further fuck things up.

The barge hitting the Galveston bridge?
Yes, I'd meant to hit "reply" so it'd be glaringly obvious.

That was crazy. Wondering how long it'll take before the bridge gets repaired ?
