Texas has earned a reputation around the country for its power grid failing under various conditions. Whether it’s power outages due to Hurricane Beryl or winter freezes, the power grid has failed Texans before, and now many experts worry about if its infrastructure can handle the strain of these new data centers.

A major legal issue that federal unions and lawyers are addressing is the fact that the lump sum that’s being promised may not be given to the employees who accept, since only Congress has the authority to approve the budget and payments, not the executive branch.

The history of the American Revolution is still segregated, Johnson said. If you search for photos of the American Revolution on the internet, photos of white men and women appear, but there are no black individuals pictured. The images that appear aren’t wrong, but they are incomplete, Johnson argued.

“The number one thing is, be informed and know your rights,” Alvarado said. “Don’t believe everything you see on social media –– a lot of people trying to do good end up spreading false rumors, and that just spreads fear in the community.”

The beginning of head coach Glenn Moore’s 25th year at the helm started with fireworks as No. 19 Baylor softball’s five-run bottom of the third led to a 10-2 win over ACU in the season opener Thursday as part of the Aggie Classic at Davis Diamond in College Station.

Stop forcing yourself to be a leader if that’s not the path you see yourself in. If you are a leader, don’t diminish the excellence of your supporters. And if you are a college admissions officer, don’t reject someone just because they weren’t class president or football captain.

Black History Month means something different for every American. For some, it means remembering ancestors who suffered on our soil. For others, it could mean uplifting friends who may not share the same generational history, but share a similar commitment to equal opportunities for all people.

The Daily Beast and The Daily Wire are slowly taking the place of The Daily Planet. Our generation is responsible for this. We are watching and overseeing the end of an era as mainstream media sources are being edged out because of our embrace of social media.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and we could all use a little sweet treat in our lives. Whether you’re gifting candy to your significant other or looking for a treat to enjoy yourself, some candies make better gifts than others.

You shouldn’t be paying an extra $15-30 per month to watch a couple of games a month. Spend that time watching your team at any place, like a restaurant, that plays live sports. Sports, in its existence, was something to be enjoyed by groups of people together — it’s not an exclusive individual hobby.

Black History Month presents a perfect opportunity for these conversations to begin, but they should continue well beyond this month. Starting in our Waco community, hosting local discussions, workshops or even book clubs centered around race and Black history would be extremely productive. This can provide opportunities for learning and self-reflection within our community.
