Café au lait et un train Houston really is the Paris of the south

Getting real Skype 2019 vibes from the whole starlink discourse, if they’re proven to be an unreliable partner idk why anyone would use the service vs funding a more secure competitor

Imagine having to argue with the two dumbest people you know in your third language

BREAKING: Osborn Industries has announced a relocation to Houston Texas

Measles heads HATE this one simple trick

I just hate how Texas republicans have to do this little sham game where they pretend that democrats secretly run the state government. YOU run the schools, if students are being deprived of educational opportunities it’s your fault for not providing them

This is just like visionzero, under Turner we had a realistic actionable plan run by experts based on data, whitmire is just a snake oils salesmen making us spend more for worse outcomes

METRO leaders are doubling down on reliability, cleanliness, safety and accessibility under the umbrella of “METRONow,” which observers say is essentially a rebrand of the former "METRONext" initiative.

I just dislike how the mayor hypes up his efforts but MetroNow is very clearly less ambition than MetroNext

Whitmire continues to go against the community

After replacing four of the seven board members last year, Houston Mayor John Whitmire wants to install new appointees in the remaining board positions on the Montrose TIRZ. The proposed leadership shuffle has drawn criticism.

Dawg I just don’t know how they’re gonna balance the budget when the largest line item wants more money

The union that represents more than 5,200 officers in the Houston Police Department is seeking higher salaries, improved benefits and the recruitment of more officers as it negotiates a new contract with the city.

Has Greg Abbott ever even visited an HISD school?

I just think it’s funny all these guys that think Rome is cool but then they hate bureaucracy

Who’s paying $95 to go to the official Bill King conference?

It’s incredibly frustrating that our representative acquired grant funding for west Alabama street and the city is deciding it’s not going to build any bike lanes but will use the grant money to repave the street anyway. I just don’t see how this won’t make the city look like a terrible partner

It’s honestly insane that every Montrose TIRZ meeting is just everyone ~10:1 speaking in favor of the old redesign plan, like the mayor must be actively trying to ignore the community

If not friend why friend shaped?

I will always hate the mayor because there is zero reason why a 10ft wide shared use path can’t fit in here, he’s just a awful spiteful person

They really do live permanently in 2016

If you care about building a safer and more beautiful corridor to Buffalo Bayou, tomorrow is your last chance to demand the Montrose TIRZ Board vote NO on the city’s dangerous redesign of the Montrose Blvd Improvement Project. 6:30p at the Havens Center or on Zoom montrosehtx.org/meeting/febr...

Linguistically, I find the whole insistence on using the new name for the gulf funny because the English name for basically every Asian country is an exonym established several hundred years ago

Bad news for farmers

I can’t believe the timeline led to a series of events where Kathy Hochul is the good guy after all the congestion pricing shenanigans

I just hate how even TXDot is like “yeah shared use paths need at least 10ft”, like even TXDot gets it but the mayor doesn’t. It’s like he’s never been to Buffalo bayou on a Friday evening ftp.txdot.gov/pub/txdot-in...

I don’t know how the whole MAHA thing is supposed to work, when I was a kid they tried to limit the size of sodas in NYC and people lost their minds

Huge win for the polio lobby today

“Global city”

What I genuinely don’t get about Texas republicans is that like they complain but then don’t do anything to address what they’re complaining about. Like if you only look at this logistically there is physically not enough jail space but they don’t talk about infrastructure just complain about people
