Big big news for Texas journalism.
Hearst — which owns the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News — is purchasing the Austin American-Statesman from Gannett.

Houston: The energy capital of the world, where the power can go out without warning at virtually any moment.

1/ Hi Texas 👋 I know a lot of people are concerned about the cold front next week & how it'll impact the Texas power grid. I cover the grid and ERCOT for @HoustonChron.
Here's what you need to know. Thread incoming...

So Google Photos just made me a collage called “Fun on the Water” and it’s all…it’s all photos I took of water rescues during Hurricane Harvey.

Houston wrapped:
You spent two weeks exposed to toxic chemicals
You ate 10x the recommended serving of street tacos
You went 50 miles out of your way to stop at Buccee's
Your car ran over 125 potholes each month
You spent 1 million hours on 610
Lol. The comments on this tweet are like somebody said, Hey, let's all write down the dumbest thing we actually believe
We just officially designated Harris County Public Library as a "Book Sanctuary," a safe space for endangered books. 📚
We’re pushing back against book bans, library closures and other blatant attacks on history and free expression in libraries across the nation.

Remembering the actual *years* of holding my breath each time a new round of layoffs swept the newsroom - waiting all day for the phone to ring or for the manila envelope of doom to be dropped off by HR. This story will be good:
After getting laid off 2 months ago and getting madder and sadder about all the layoffs I continue to see, I'm leaning into the misery and working on a story about layoffs for @ThisAmerLife.
Specifically, I'm looking to talk to workers who know layoffs are coming but are waiting to find out if they're on the list... Is this you or someone you know?
Also interested in:
-Layoff horror stories
-Ppl who work in HR and have to lay people off
-Workers who have to help people pack up their desks and walk them out
Would love to hear from you. Dms are open, and I'm at shaw.yr@gmail.com ✌🏼

I mean at this point, who among us does not want to sploot on a cold tile floor
Word Of The Day: SPLOOT — the pose of an animal when it lies on its stomach with hind legs stretched out behind the body.
ALT A reddish squirrel photographed in profile lying on a branch with all four limbs and tail splayed out.

Only in Texas do we get flood water level measured in units of bovine😂🐄 #WxTwitter
Having a terrible, even dangerous, experience and getting a shrug in response is what lingers in a consumer's mind, far longer than anything else
