Listen. I know there ain’t no way a Public Safety Alert was just issued to tell people about I-35 being closed.

A live look at all religion reporters and social media producers:

When did the Vatican get a marching band?!

You’re not wrong, Michael.

To quote someone in our newsroom:

“Holy Smokes!”

Sometimes I get an idea in my head and if I don’t put it out into the ether, I’ll explode.

Anyway,

Here’s the Godfather if it was set in San Antonio:

The queen herself! I aspire to have that confidence.

I have a very important decision to make:

Someone in our statewide news meeting today said very casually: “It’s gonna be May.”

I’d like to thank Austin’s KUT in advance for putting NSYNC in my head all day.

Y’all, all I did was WALK OUTSIDE and I was handed three bags of Fiesta medals from San Antonio College and CPS Energy and an aguas fresca!

Fiesta time is here. VIVA! 🎊🎉

As a gay man, this is not what I expected when someone said we were entering a Bear Market.

San Antonio needs this sign on every street corner.

I’d love to see a School House Rock song try to explain any of *gestures to literally everything*

Meanwhile, in San Antonio:

The viejitas at the taco shop that call you “mijo” or mija” are the real MVP’s of San Antonio.

About 250 people gathered outside San Antonio City Hall on Monday as part of President’s Day Protests held nationwide.

Taco Palenque on San Pedro is slapping on that 50¢ egg surcharge for breakfast tacos. 😭

This thunder and rain is lovely.
