The issue of not "fitting in" plagues Black nerds and other minority groups because there are few visual representations of them in science fiction, anime and comics. Interpretations of a popular character as an alternative race or gender are often met with hostility at large conventions due to fandoms being protective of the original representation.

Yep...if you are on the major roadways after midnight, it's almost a guaranty that 60-75%+ fellow travelers are inebriated to some degree. And Houston is so damn gigantic and spread out a lot of these drunk drivers are traveling across city or out to the suburbs. I saw some dude in a Camaro just randomly Dale Ernhardt into the left concrete wall going north on 290 just past BW8 and then rocket across all lanes of traffic not long ago around 1am. It was as if he blacked out completely, woke up and then wayyy overcorrected.

HOUSTON Harris County commissioners are set to discuss a proposed 2026 tax rate increase aimed at preserving early childhood programming, according to items on the agenda for today's Commissioners Court meeting.
The agenda item, requested by the county judge, calls for "discussion and possible action" on a proposed 2026 tax rate for Harris County for the purpose of "maintaining a portion of critical Harris County early childhood programming."
Specific details of what the proposal will include have not yet been released.
The discussion echoes a push made in August 2025, when Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo brought children from a local daycare center to a Commissioners Court meeting to advocate for an early childhood "penny tax" initiative. That proposal ultimately failed to pass.
It remains unclear at this time how the current proposal differs from the previous initiative or exactly which programs would be funded under the new tax rate structure. Further details are expected as the court takes up the item.
