TLDR: Antivaxxers are misinformed, defensive & contagious.
#TX school celebrates -> 14% <- #vaxx rate, not far from a #measles outbreak. The school PASTOR identifies/brags the school name and location. Then blames someone ELSE for that.

Austin American-Statesman · Texas pastor met with outrage after boasting on his school's low vaccination rate
@skyfaller Address data is very resource-intensive to acquire, even when locales have "good" parcel GIS data. I'm debating writing an app to take Tarrant County parcel GIS data and overlay it onto OSM for getting areas and nodes to have *some* kind of address data on them. But so far, it's just an idea in my head. I actually *don't* want to "automate away" this problem; I *want* human beings being the authority on whether any particular proposed address is likely correct or not. #gis #osm #OpenStreetMap #FortWorth #dfw

Does Fort Worth need an urban rail line? Here’s what a study found 
Vehicle traffic over the next 20 years is only going to get worse, so the city should look at alternate ways to move people around.
The average construction cost per mile for a streetcar system is roughly $40 million, according to the city report.
It could also take roughly seven to 10 years to plan, design, and build an urban rail system.

Texas. I can't believe it's already been 10 years since I was last in the USA. #travel #USA #texas #memories #fortworth #longhorns
Does #FediverseHouse sound interesting? At least a little bit. The "A Better Web Is Possible" talk by Molly ( @molly0xfff ) sounds interesting at least, though it's a shame that only fifteen minutes appear to be allocated to it. Kit O'Connell ( @oconnell ) is part of a talk titled "Publishers: Audience and Autonomy" that also sounds interesting. On the other hand, you've got folks from Threads and Bluesky acting as a bright blinking "CAUTION" sign.
Do I live close enough to Austin to be there in-person? I suppose. It's a three to four hour drive from Fort Worth.
On the other hand, it all feels very, very corporate. Very bourgy, networky, startupy. And all in the worst ways. Corporations hawking their walled gardens^W^W bespoke, artisanal feeds with only the best free-range, organic advertisements sprinkled in (sparingly, of course). The general strategy seems to be "see all of the fediverse through our app," a blatant and bold Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish play if ever there were one, only this time, sold as an act of "unifying" the oPeN SOciAl WeB.
Maybe I'll be there. Maybe I won't.

@TheDialecticalCommunist I was there for the Dallas stop :D Solid speeches that lay out, in straightforward terms, the roots of our problems, how to resolve them, and the importance of an organization for actually doing the work.

Caravan of Dreams was a 1st class music venue that justified a drive from Dallas. Glad to see that location is returning to live music. 
"The Spotlight" becomes a worthy successor.
New venue to occupy former Caravan of Dreams, Reata location in Sundance Square

KERA 90.1 FM and all of its sister stations are off air due to a technical issue. 
Friday, February 7th was the last day that KERA broadcasted from its long time studio on Harry Hines Blvd. While its new studio is built along the Katy Trail in Uptown, KERA will be broadcasting from the Fair Park studios of WRR Classical.
Today's outage is likely related to that temporary move.

@ElizabethLeeCo Is the issue with the navigation due to poor surveying coverage, awkward app design, something else, or some combination? I've been experimenting with #OsmAnd+ here in #FortWorth and it has been usable at least, though lane guidance is definitely hit-and-miss. #osm
#ExtremeColdWarning extends deep into #Texas including #Dallas and #FortWorth areas. Too bad Texas has a goofy electrical system that screws consumers. #TXwx
