  These Drivers Are Taking Extreme Measures to Avoid New Car Technology 🚗 Curmudgeonly roadblocks or the last beacons of sanity? These car owners disable alarms and reconfigure dashboards in search of low-tech bliss. “If I get hot in my car and want some air conditioning, I just want to turn a knob and have cold air come out,” Doyle said. “There’s this fatigue of having to learn one more new thing.” @WSJ@flipboard.com https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/cars/driver-assistance-technology-dashboard-...

  How Taylor Sheridan is reshaping Fort Worth, beyond his hit television shows 📺️ Sheridan has also made North Texas a production hub. His studio at Alliance Airport is now the second-largest film studio between the East and West coasts, allowing productions that appear to take place across the country to be filmed right here in Texas. https://www.keranews.org/entertainment/2026-07-03/taylor-sheridan-film-food-culture #TaylorSheridan #KERA #FortWorth #TV #BudKennedy #RonCorning

  The RAMpocalyspse is certainly making the job of Linux evangelist easier these days. A good friend has a business and needed a computer for the office but was shocked by the retail prices now. He knows that I rehabilitate old PCs and asked if I had any spares. So I set him up with a MintBook Air from 2012. He's stoked. 💚 It's his first experience with Linux & I can't wait to get his feedback. 💻️ @linuxmint@mastodon.social #RAMpocalypse #AI #Linux #RAMOn

  Dallas Morning News and Texas Monthly journalists win Pulitzer prizes "Lamster’s criticism frequently examines the consequences of rapid urban growth, questioning who benefits and who is left out when cities evolve. He’s critiqued proposals to tear down Dallas City Hall and advocated for the building, designed by famed architect I.M. Pei." @dallasnews @TexasMonthly https://www.keranews.org/arts-culture/2026-05-04/dallas-morning-news-and-texas-monthly-journalists-win-pulitz...

  ‘All hat and no cattle’: Dallas City Council pushes back on mayor "The mayor is often flanked by at least two security officials. Public records from April last year show the police department estimated the mayor’s detail would have an annual cost of $1.7 million. Yearly overtime costs for the detail averaged $204,400 from 2021 to 2025." @dallasnews 🎁🔗 https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/article/all-hat-no-cattle-dallas-city-council-22241187.php?utm_source=marketing&a...

  I have especially enjoyed these last few weeks of the Late Show. I know Colbert will be fine. But network TV will never be the same 📺 What Do We Lose When ‘The Late Show’ Goes Away? Our attachment to an institution may seem counterintuitive, especially w/ comedy, a rebellious art form. But with Stephen Colbert’s program, there was a lot at stake. The future of late-night will look more like a video podcast, and it’s hard to imagine the big-show aspect returning https://www.nytimes.com/2026/...

  I.M. Pei on City Hall and preservation. "I am unhappy about the fact that our society seems to be much more inclined to build something for a short time and then tear them down. I think this self-disposable society of ours is not conducive to doing good architecture, and this I am unhappy about. Why is Paris so beautiful? Because the buildings were well-built, were built to last. That’s the difference. And we don’t, and this I regret.” https://www.dmagazine.com/micropost/i-m-pei-on-ci...

  Yet another cash-grab movie tie-in from Casio. Admittedly these models will sell out before the weekend's over. So I guess we can't blame them for this kind of promotion.

  Last night after watching the Artemis II crew splashdown, I explained to our son that we used to be able to land our shuttle like an airplane. The whole "I Dream of Jeannie" splashdown process feels so retro for this Gen X-er. 🚀 "Welcome Back!"
