Houston Fire Department is responding to a fire at a restaurant in Terminal C North at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
Passengers in the immediate area have been relocated as a precaution. We will provide updates as they become available.
"This is going to be a great hire." - Me if it were 2012.

This is such an insane thing to say out loud. No wonder Ashley Moody has been campaigning from the basement.
“When you stand up for representing the BOSSES and putting THEM first…we will thrive.”
Florida, vote @AngieNixon to stand up for working people.

What is a Dunkelflaute period, and why does it matter for European power and natural gas markets?
Dunkelflaute refers to a sustained period of low wind and solar electricity generation.
Reduced renewable generation can increase residual load and the need for other electricity sources, including natural gas-fired generation.
The actual market impact depends on demand, available generation, storage, and imports.
We explain the meteorological conditions associated with Dunkelflaute and how weather forecasts can help assess these periods in my recent article:

Meteorologists (weather communicators) shpuld watch this. This is why "the weather people are always wrong". There is a serious math literacy problem in the US.

By far the coolest part of the Texas Election Code is the chapter allowing astronauts, many of whom live around Houston, to vote from space. 🚀🌕👨🚀

This is a terrible look for the WNBA -- and there is no way spin it.
I realize all the potential solutions sucked but the prospect of crowning a champion on a Thursday afternoon is just brutal optics (and will be brutal television ratings.) If you are the league, you are praying for a G7.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2026 – Game 6 of the WNBA Finals between the Golden State Valkyries and Atlanta Dream will be played at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Thursday, October 29 at 12:30 p.m. ET, the WNBA announced today.
The game, originally scheduled for 8 p.m. ET, will still air on USA Network and stream on Peacock.
To accommodate the Finals game, the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks have agreed to move the start time of their regular-season game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers to 8:00 p.m. ET.

The preliminary observations at the San Pedro tide gauge reported 8.02 feet this morning, which is an all-time record (records going back to November 1923). The previous record was 7.93 feet set on 01/10/2005. Slightly higher tides are possible tomorrow.

If she is elected, Hinojosa is vowing to appoint both Republicans and Democrats and build a “postpartisan” administration—beginning with the Texas Education Agency. “I’m going to fire Mike Morath on day one and hire an educator,” she says.

A reminder that the Trump administration canceled a contract for an mRNA H5N1 vaccine in favor of pursuing an older technology that is not likely to work. Explanatory articles from the late, missed Helen Branswell: statnews.com/2025/08/11/mrna… and statnews.com/2025/05/03/nih-…
There is something really concerning (and disappointing) going on in the US right now.
A dangerous and preventable situation.
Let me explain.

You can also go to a public library and have a conversation with a librarian that might help you expand your taste and worldview instead of merely affirming it. They’ll even let you check out the books for free.
