Hundreds of people have taken to social media to share their collective anger — and to announce that they’ve turned off their phone’s public safety alerts — over a 4:52 a.m. Blue Alert on Friday, which sent a piercing alarm to the roughly 30 million people who live
Imagine being part of a grid that doesn’t completely collapse during a crisp breeze! That could be in Texas’ future, since the federal government is giving us a bunch of money to force us to grow the fuck up and join the rest of the country. The U.S.
If there’s one truism in life, it’s that people on the internet will take any opportunity to act like assholes. Case in point: A bakery in Flower Mound has received death threats for daring to make a cookie with vice presidential candidate Tim Walz’s face on it.
Last Friday, a cloudless, azure sky framed the Allan B. Polunsky prison unit — where 167 men await executions on Texas’ Death Row — as an unlikely group ventured through its doors in the name of salvation. Polunsky is the state’s supermax prison for the most egregious criminal offenders in Texas
In what sounds like the grossest water show ever, a geyser of salty, possibly oil-laced water is blasting 100 feet into the air in West Texas, where earthquakes caused by wastewater injections have been shaking things up lately. We don’t know the source of the geyser yet; a
Houstonians believe they’ve been victims of hate crimes at much higher rates than what’s being reported to police – and they’re not reporting it because they don’t trust cops will do anything about it, according to a new study. Rice University researchers surveyed 5,000 people in

They’re not just crawling across your lawn — they’re on a mission. These lawn-destroying caterpillars move like a tiny, hungry army, munching on everything in their path: grass, plants, even the weeds. Meet the armyworm, so named because they roll deep in Texas this fall, launching an all-
At least 120 people have come forward to accuse Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual misconduct, and a prominent Texas attorney is representing them. Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee on Tuesday revealed that the victims include 60 men and 60 women, with 25 of them being minors at the time of the
Out in the Tamaulipan thornscrub of South Texas, Mario Garza has spent years looking for something sacred. To the untrained eye, the ranchland he visits might seem unremarkable, or even hostile — a wide expanse of mesquite and huisache thickets littered with rattlesnakes and tasajillo spines, among other natural hazards.

Houston can have Michelin. Dallas is too busy building their own national stock exchange. The new leadership group for the Texas Stock Exchange gathered in Austin with Gov. Greg Abbott to announce their new venture has plans to start trading in late 2025 according to Axios. The founders (who, to
Somebody—well, a man—bought a perfectly good Taylor Swift guitar just to smash it up. It happened recently in Waxahachie at the Ellis County Wild Game Dinner, where a man paid a reported $4,000 for the guitar (plus a wall hanger), according to WFAA. But the winner brought
