Let’s keep it real — Alex Jones is the worst kind of loudmouth: the kind who profits off other people’s pain. And now? Karma finally caught up.

Every fall, millions of Texans line up under the Ferris wheel lights at Fair Park for funnel cakes, Big Tex selfies, and that greasy-good fried-everything culture. But beneath the laughter, turkey legs, and marching bands lies a story that Dallas doesn’t talk about loud enough—the Texas State Fairgrounds were once a Ku Klux Klan recruitment site. Yep, the same grounds that now host the State Fair Classic, where Grambling State and Prairie View A&M’s drumlines shake the stadi

When high school teacher Jasmine Seals walked into her Texas classroom last week, she didn’t expect a viral moment — but that’s exactly what happened after she filed a police report over a stolen Hello Kitty Funko Pop valued at $300.

Something is shifting in the air. You can feel it in the workplace when half the team looks like they’re running on fumes. You can feel it in the group chats when everyone goes quiet at once. You can see it in the mirror — that heavy, tired look that no amount of sleep seems to fix. Mental health in late 2025 has reached a boiling point. Not because we suddenly “care less” about ourselves — but because the world around us keeps getting heavier, louder, and faster. We’ve

Every October 10th, the world pauses for World Mental Health Day. You’ll see the green ribbons, the hashtags, and those perfectly filtered “take care of yourself” posts.

On October 9, 2025, U.S. District Judge Jeannette A. Vargas of the Southern District of New York officially dismissed Drake’s defamation and business-law claims against Universal Music
