Circle K inner circle fuel day is the best.

If you’re driving into San Antonio from NB this morning, expect 1-2 hour delay due to 35 being down to one lane for construction . . . Can confirm the delays are real. 📍: Schertz

TXDOT. We gotta stop closing lanes for construction during rush hour. This is crazy. Road signs say right two lanes are closed for construction. That’s how I know.

Saw fire trucks, police cars etc at every overpass between Kyle and Austin while driving from San Antonio tonight. Some trucks had American flags hoisted up.

President Trump’s cannabis order sounds big. The reality is more complicated than some are reading it to be. A lawyer who has worked in cannabis reform for over a decade talked to MySA about what's next, the significance of a move from Schedule I to III and the possible Texas impact.

There are a few chains as quintessentially Texan as Luby’s. I’ve been trying to find the origin story behind one of its most iconic dishes: the LuAnn. Where did the name come from, and is it LuAnn Plate or Platter? Here’s what I found out (@mysanantonio.com) — www.mysanantonio.com/food/article...

I think we can leave the term “bestie” in 2025. Unless you’re literally talking about your bestie, of course. Idk if I can handle another TikTok that starts with “hey bestie!” TYSM for coming to my tiny TED Talk.

Boooop - career update:

LoneStarLive (under the Advance Local umbrella) has reached the end of its road. Being the reflective person I am, I decided to look back on 10 articles that helped me find my footing and my unique voice over the last 21 months. www.lonestarlive.com/life/2025/04...

Maybe it's the state of the country, or maybe it's me being in my 'just turned 33' birthday feels, but Selena Gomez's new song "Younger And Hotter Than Me" and the MV really hit me. Then, I thought how it's probably having that impact on a lot of millennials. So, I wrote about it. bit.ly/4kXRAXM

Monday’s (April 7) hearing on two bills that look to dismantle the hemp infustry in Texas went from ~8 a.m. to 2 a.m. Most, if not all, testifying were against HB 28. Here’s a recap of the first 7-ish hours of testimony on HB 28 (plus what the bill would do): www.lonestarlive.com/marijuana/20...

Gotta say, the Season 2 finale of “1923” is damn good.

BTW - Texas residents can testify on proposed THC bans, hemp regulations at April 7 public hearing, plus what could happen after said hearing - www.lonestarlive.com/marijuana/20...

Just saw one of these in Austin, TX for the first time today and said, “What in the Kens from the ‘Barbie’ movie is this?” This model, I found out, starts at $285k. It’s like a hummer and a cybertruck all in one ugly package.

Have you ever wondered why select Austin residents are so obsessed with the Chili's at 45th and Lamar? Well, it depends on who you ask. www.lonestarlive.com/dining/2025/...

By now, you've likely heard the rumors about Glen Powell being interested in a revival of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

As a native Austinite, I've been a bit perplexed by Kate in "The White Lotus." But, after looking into voting records & income data, along with input from the (sometimes) wonderful world of Reddit, things started to make more sense. www.lonestarlive.com/tv/2025/03/t...

BTW, I now have an answer to the question I've been getting re: how can Texas make hemp with THC illegal if it's federally legal? Isn't that unconstitutional? According to the defense attorney I spoke with, it's not unconstitutional. More to come, stay tuned . . .

Senate Bill 3 has passed the Texas Senate. Meaning, if the House passes it, the hemp industry as Texans know it will be dismantled. Hard to say what will happen if it passes both, given hemp with up to .3% delta 9 THC is legal at the federal level.

The public is demanding action after a video emerged of an Austin Police Department officer slamming a transgender woman to the ground. TW: This is a disturbing video. You can read about it without watching it, as it's linked at the bottom of the article. www.lonestarlive.com/news/2025/03...

"As members of the Texas Senate prepare to vote on a bill that would make possessing delta-9 gummies or THC drinks a criminal offense, hemp advocates are warning that 'prohibition is not the answer.'" Read more - lonestarlive.com/marijuana/20...
