The 3x damages provision is what scares landlords into complying. Once they realize you know the statute, they fold.

The law requires you to call 911 first or immediately after. That call is your legal protection. Make the call.

My manager at a restaurant in Deep Ellum told me shortages come out of tips. Turns out that is ALSO illegal under the same statute. Filed with TWC last month.

The wrapper problem is real. I have evaluated 15 AI startups for my company this year. At least 10 were just UIs on top of OpenAI with no defensible technology. When OpenAI adds that feature natively, those startups evaporate.

Honestly this is not unethical. You are being paid for outcomes, not hours. If AI helps you deliver better outcomes faster, that is efficiency, not deception. Your boss cares about the output, not how you got there.

Outer Wilds is the greatest gaming experience I have ever had and I genuinely envy anyone who gets to play it for the first time. Do NOT look anything up. Just explore. Trust the process.

32GB RAM being necessary in 2026 is wild. I remember when 8GB was overkill. Games are eating memory like crazy now.

Performance on my RTX 4070 is rough in the city. Getting 40-50 FPS at 1440p with DLSS on Quality. This needs optimization patches badly. Outside the city runs at 70+ though.

Wolverine being the guy drinking Lone Star at 2 PM in Deep Ellum refusing to talk about the heat is the most accurate character description I have ever read. That IS Logan.

The MCU's $30 billion proves that Marvel's interconnected storytelling model works at a scale DC has never achieved. The DCEU failed because they tried to skip the buildup. Marvel earned their crossovers.

The Annihilation event deserves more recognition. Keith Giffen took Marvel's cosmic characters — who had been neglected for years — and turned them into the foundation of a decade of great stories. Nova, Galactus, the Guardians of the Galaxy revival all trace back to this.

Part 2 being a high school comedy is the most Fujimoto thing possible. He had the hottest action manga in the world and decided to write a coming-of-age story instead. No other author would take that risk.

Perfect Blue being made in 1997 and still feeling more unsettling than modern psychological thrillers says everything about Satoshi Kon's genius. He died at 46. We lost decades of masterpieces.

Naruto having 40% filler is criminal. Imagine a 430-episode version of Naruto with zero filler. It would be the undisputed GOAT anime. The filler killed its legacy.

Pedro Pascal barely being in Season 2 is the elephant in the room. His chemistry with Ramsey was the show's foundation. Removing that foundation is a massive risk.

Dark requires a family tree chart and a timeline. I am not joking. The Netflix fan site has one and it is essential. But the payoff in Season 3 is worth the effort.

The Last of Us Season 2 adapting Part II of the game is going to be divisive. That story broke the gaming community in half. The show adaptation will do the same.

The fact that Apple TV+ greenlit a third season after that long gap shows confidence in the creative vision. Most streamers would have cancelled after the Season 2 wait.

Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff showing A24 films is peak Dallas culture. Saw The Brutalist there with a post-screening Q&A. The audience discussion afterward was better than most film school seminars.

Florence Pugh in Dune Part Two AND Thunderbolts* proves she is the most versatile actress working right now. Completely different characters, both commanding.

Mickey 17 is Bong at his best. The first clone death scene is simultaneously hilarious and horrifying. Pattinson deserves awards talk for playing both versions of the character.

I thought the third act was fine. Not every MCU movie needs to apologize for having a big finish. The Sentry going full power was earned by the buildup.

After 2021 I bought a Jackery 1500. During the rolling blackouts last summer it kept our fridge and phones running for 8 hours. Best $1,300 I ever spent.

Fort Worth suburbs (Keller, Southlake, Colleyville) always get overlooked in these lists. The Tarrant County side is just as nice with less traffic.

The door-to-door electricity salesperson warning is REAL. They came to my door in Frisco offering "free electricity." Read the fine print — the rate was 18 cents/kWh with a $9.95 monthly fee.

Get your inspection done at a Kwik Kar or similar chain. Takes 15 minutes. Then go to the county tax office. Do NOT go to DPS for registration.
