@goodmoine @DMagazine @SharonFGrigsby Sad for D. Amazed for you. Best of luck in the new venture.

Mike and Maci Berkeley could be comfortably retired in Aspen. Instead they're here: "poverty and medical problems have created an atmosphere of hopelessness. And then there is the constant danger of the menacing and omnipresent Sinaloa drug cartel."

You know what's great? Books. What's better than books? Nothing. Join me at @texasbookfest tomorrow at 1:15, when I'll talk to @jessica_goudeau and Tim Z. Hernandez about their latest books, which uncover hidden histories and the ghosts of our collective past.

Consulting with Dr. Hologram once or twice would be kinda fun, but isn't the fact that we often can't easily get doctors in the same room as their patients a sign that we need much bigger, systemic fixes to health care?

@lesleywmcclurg Elections have consequences, but committing multiple state and federal crimes apparently does not.

The crack @TexasMonthly politics team is blogging through election day and night. Join me in following along. Can Allred's strategy of campaigning like he's a moderate Republican yield any better results against Ted "Cancun" Cruz than Beto managed in 2018? https://t.co/ygB74ESIHB

Now that you've presumably read @mkerrhardy's stellar @TexasMonthly tale about Othram, the Texas DNA lab cracking cold cases, you should check out the story of Pecos Jane, also penned by Michael and featuring Othram. Much mystery remains in this one: https://t.co/3EFLSswBxL

Did a relationship that began a decade ago between a chief executive of a Fortune 500 company and a recent college graduate lead to a controversial $818 million deal that Houston-area residents could be paying off for years? https://t.co/PB4i7XC51a

If you're a writer in Austin and want to get that novel or short story collection of yours to the finish line, I can't recommend Kirk's workshop enough. It's inspiring, supportive, and also just fun.

[S. Kirk Walsh @skirkwalsh]

Are you working on a novel & looking for a supportive community, accountability & helpful feedback? I'm still accepting applications for my nine-month fiction workshop from Sept 2024 to May 2025 in Austin. Interested? Email me ([email protected]). Thx! https://t.co/JSz440Zjqs

Hadn't been in touch with Zac for years, but ever since I heard the news, I've carried a strange sense of a hole having been ripped open in the world. I'm grieving for my former D colleagues. I can't imagine a more beautiful tribute to Zac than the one they've given him here.

The city of Dallas has lost one of the finest writers ever to work here.

Why not just legalize it and better ensure public health and safety through the sort of testing required of medical marijuana?

[Jason Heid @jasonheid]

Because Texas has taken a "don't ask, don't tell" approach to regulating dispensaries, we don't know if this cannabis being sold with these potent levels of delta-9 THC isn't also carrying all sorts of nasty pesticides and heavy metals too.

I mostly use Apple Music for instrumental playlists to edit and write to. So this year-end result isn’t because of my Lydia Tar super-fandom.

[Jason Heid @jasonheid]

Read Lisa’s and Ricardo’s books to get fired up about the need to tear down the American health care system and start over.
