Waiting for Houston people to tell me we don’t need safe street improvements because *checks notes* Hilary Duff used to bike to the Kroger on Voss when she was a kid.

Screen grab from Houston Chronicle article: Hilary Duff has a Houston homecoming, shouts out Shipley & Escalante's, at sold-out Woodlands show

Article snippet:

Hilary Duff spent Saturday introducing her kids to Houston.

She took them down Voss Road, where she used to ride her bike to the Kroger, and by her childhood home in Memorial.

NYTimes Houston world cup summary is accurate. Too bad no regional commuter rail.

Houston
Schedule
NRG Stadium
June 14 Germany vs. Curaçao
June 17 Portugal vs. Democratic Republic of Congo
June 20 Netherlands vs. Sweden
June 23 Portugal vs. Uzbekistan
June 26 Cape Verde vs. Saudi Arabia
June 29 Round of 32
July 4 Round of 16
Fan festivals
The free, official fan festival (June 11 to July 19) will take place in the East Downtown (EaDo) area, a 15-minute (without traffic) drive from the stadium.

Where to watch
In EaDo, watch parties will also be held at the area’s many bars throughout the tournament, like the soccer-focused Pitch 25 Beer Park or Little Woodrow’s EaDo. Elsewhere, check out Social Beer Garden in Midtown or the Phoenix on Westheimer.

Getting around
The most popular way to reach the stadium, southwest of downtown, will be the city’s Metro light rail system, which is tap to pay ($1.25). If you also want to explore the city’s diverse food scene, you might use ride-hailing services or rent some wheels to get around car-centric Houston. Parking at the stadium currently starts at $125.

Other attractions
Visitors often love Houston’s museums, like the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, or the Menil Collection, and its dining options, like Viet-Cajun crawfish at Crawfish and Noodles or award-winning Texas barbecue at Truth BBQ. Got moon joy thanks to Artemis II? Space Center Houston, the home of NASA, is about a 40-minute drive southeast of town.

The thing is, I think Platner is probably not a secret Nazi who is waiting to get into the Senate to flip on us. I think he's probably just an edgelord who currently believes what he says he does but who has given no evidence that he can stick with & work for a set of beliefs.

Is it needed because of upcoming hyperinflation or to make it easier to crime? 🤔

Google AI answer to “why is the biggest bill $100”

The $100 bill is the largest

Houston Ship Channel team deploys booms after diesel spill at Pemex facility
While details remain limited, Houston Ship Channel officials confirmed that a diesel spill prompted a response team deployment.

Michael Garcia

Pemex, the Mexican state-owned oil company, confirmed that a diesel spill occurred Sunday morning at its facility along the Houston Ship Channel.

While details remain limited, Houston Ship Channel officials confirmed that a diesel spill involving Pemex Deer Park prompted a response team deployment, including the use of oil booms, according to a statement. The source of the leak has been identified and isolated, officials said.

"We have notified the appropriate regulatory agencies and are working closely with them as we continue to assess and respond," said Liz Nunez, a spokesperson with Pemex said. "At this time, we are not aware of any impact to the surrounding community or our industrial neighbors."

No other information was provided.
