weather - At the moment, if I’m reading my Windy app right, the only model that’s verifying right now as I look out the door is the NAM, and that model shows some partial clearing north of I-20 at eclipse time. Cross y’all’s fingers. 😎

Article from the Dallas Morning News about the Keller ISD's cancellation of a high school production of "The Laramie Project".

Noting also for the record, the far right Patriot Mobile-backed board members who likely pushed for this were also recently responsible for sneaking an evangelical documentary film crew into a high school, to the outrage of many parents.

Speaking of if you're in and need a buddy, this little tabby kitten was meowing like mad under my house for more than a day before I finally cut a hole in the floor to get him out. He needs a home (I've got too many pets and my cat's a bully to other cats, despite being crazy sweet to everyone else, including dogs). He's super sweet, curious, smart, and took to a litter box immediately. He's very easy going, I haven't heard a peep out of him since I let him in.

The Estonian capital of Tallinn is a fare-free pioneer, charing residents nothing to ride buses and trams since 2013.

The policy has been a flop. Locals are driving more than ever.

@davidzipper I was a regular train rider here in about the time of Covid, things got worse. New collision controls messed with schedules and increased travel times. Links to last mile services got worse (scheduled buses went to on-demand--first one service, then an even worse service). Covid made frequency worse for the trains.

Now, no amount of discount could really make me choose it again without serious service improvements. It is sad.

The other day, my 13-year-old told me they had no plans to go to college in Texas or live here when they were done with their education. “I have fewer rights now than when I was born, and I’ll have fewer still when I’m older,” they said. I couldn’t argue...

When I was a kid in the 80s, was notorious for huge, overcrowded schools, and they built to meet the population. Today, it seems that same population (or larger) no longer has kids. Makes me wonder if these are boomer still in same homes. Really curious about the (esp age/sex pyramids) for this area.

Texas lawmakers enable the🔫 gun industry & their lobbyists.

The NRA paid just $5,000 to rent out the Dallas convention center.

Nathan Collins reports the gun group got discounts and subsidies to the tune of $495,000. The city fought to keep these records secret until now, after the convention was over.
