Blackberries and blueberries if I'm eating them straight-up. If its berry-flavor, like in a syrup or something, its boysenberry 100%

 

"More than a century has passed since 110 Black soldiers stationed at Camp Logan were convicted of mutiny, murder, and assault in the 1917 Houston Riot, with 19 of them executed at Fort Sam Houston. Now those convictions have been overturned."

"It can't bring them back, but it gives them peace," said Angela Holder, whose great-uncle, Cpl. Jesse Moore, was one of the executed soldiers. "Their souls are at peace."

University of Houston researchers have unearthed an ancient Maya city hidden deep within the jungles of Campeche on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. The more than 1,000-year-old city—now dubbed Yucatan Ocomtún, which means stone column in the Maya language—was uncovered by a team led by Juan Carlos Fernandez-Diaz, co-principal investigator with the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) at U of H.

I have never been ashamed in just straight up throwing a book down if I'm not in pretty quickly. Not everything is going to be everyone's taste, and classics of all genres can be dull if you don't find the premise interesting. Too many books out there to slog through anything lol

House Bill 2127, which takes effect on Sept. 1, will do away with local rules that require water breaks for construction workers. The cities of Austin and Dallas, for example, require 10-minute breaks every four hours. San Antonio officials had been considering a similar ordinance.

“We are human beings who need respect,” Martínez said. “We really need to be allowed to work without problems, without any barriers … Believe me, we are dying inside those buildings when they take away our water and our [break] time.”

I used to think Static-X was the heaviest, most badass band out there. I loved all of their stuff and bumped it daily up through high school. It's funny, because there was like a ten year gap where they were very un-cool to everyone after that, but now they seem to be having a kind of resurgence with a new front man. Saw them live a few months ago and the venue was packed with a 50/50 split of zoomers and old farts

Pee Wee's Big Adventure. The whole movie is a trip, but specifically the Large Marge scene freaked me out for a long time growing up.

Whenever I introduce people to the concepts of Marxism, fascism, capitalism, etc., I start by recommending two books:

Wages of Rebellion by Chris Hedges

and

Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti

Both are written in very accessible language and both do a great job at not just explaining these economic/political theories, but also adding historical context to ground the theories in real-world actions.
