A historic Houston neighborhood is going to war with a repeat squatter Piney Point is just one of the neighborhoods being targeted by bad actors like Ramesh Kapur.

a notorious squatter has fully taken over a house in a historically Black Houston neighborhood, enraging and frustrating residents.

@jamildavid.bsky.social has the story @chron.com www.chron.com/culture/arti...

they really don't make them like "Smooth (feat. Rob Thomas)" by Santana anymore

arthur, cyberchase, clifford… all very important for 5-year-old me!!!

I'll be joining @BBCRadio4 today at 1:00 p.m. Texas time to talk about this story and what the loss of funding for Texas' NPR/PBS stations will mean for Texas culture. Hope you'll chune in luv!

With PBS funding cut, will the next generation be raised by ‘Skibidi Toilet’? Cuts to PBS funding could change kids’ media forever, as families opt for short-form video and online series optimized for attention.

PBS helped raise me and this sucks www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

has anyone written an oral history of the degrassi “shark in the water”
promo, which we all have collective memory of even if we didn’t watch the show

Texas public media stations need viewers like you now more than ever Stations have to make "tough decisions" after Congress voted to cut funding. Some may not survive.

How many people are still missing in Texas floods? "There very likely could be more added to that list."

BREAKING: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday that at least 161 people remain missing after deadly flash flooding in the Hill Country.

While on assignment for Reuters, photojournalist Sergio Flores Jr took haunting photos of waterlogged stuffies lost in the floods. Once they were published, a mom contacted him — and he was able to reunite them with the right child. Small miracles happen every day ♥️

what if this became the new britney spears fantasy

Cannot understate how big of a deal this is. It could open the floodgate for all sort of restrictions on online speech. Most observers, myself included, thought at the least the court would kick it back to 5th Circuit. Instead, it gives states a lot of latitude to decide what you can and can't see.

we’ve been following this for more than a year, and welp

'Office Space' wouldn't be a classic without Texas' suburban hellscape "I gotta get out of here."

for @chron.com's running series on media that depicts Texas, I wrote about how OFFICE SPACE wouldn't be the same movie if it wasn't filmed in suburban Texas circa 1998:

How a Denton pop-punk band whipped up Texas' laziest love song The Denton pop-punk band put their love for their home state to song in "Ohio (Come Back to Texas)." It's not the most elegant, but it is sincere—sort of.
