A commitment to employee growth and workplace excellence has placed UTHealth Houston among Houston’s top employers on LinkedIn’s inaugural Top Companies: City Edition list. Compiled by the LinkedIn News team, the annual ranking highlights organizations that provide strong opportunities for career growth, professional development, and long-term success. The Houston list is part of LinkedIn’s expansion of its nationally recognized Top Companies rankings, offering professionals a local guide to workplaces where careers can thrive. LinkedIn’s method evaluates companies using eight pillars tied to career progression and workplace experience. These include employees’ ability to advance within the organization, opportunities for skills growth, company stability, external recruiter interest, workplace culture and connectivity, gender representation, educational background variety, and employee presence within the city. To qualify, organizations were required to have at least 250 employees globally and at least 100 employees within the Houston metropolitan area as of Dec. 31, 2025. Companies with high attrition or significant layoffs during the evaluation period were excluded from consideration. The recognition adds to a growing list of workplace honors for UTHealth Houston. In November 2025, the university was named a Top Workplace by the Houston Chronicle for the 11th time, reflecting continued employee engagement and organizational excellence. LinkedIn’s

COLUMBIA, S.C. (May 19, 2026) – South Carolina Track & Field placed five athletes on the All-SEC teams, announced by the league office on Tuesday afternoon. The criteria for All-SEC Teams are as follows: First Team (gold medalist), Second Team (silver medalist) and Third Team (bronze medalist). Salma Elbadra and Akala Garrett represented South Carolina on the All-SEC First Team, earning wins in the 1500 meters and the 400-meter hurdles. Elbadra repeated as the SEC Outdoor 1500m Champion when she clocked 4:09.80 to fend off Tia Wilson of Florida who ran 4:09.84. The Morocco native carries the second fastest 1500m time in the NCAA this season at 4:02.63. Garrett earned the first gold medal for the Gamecocks in the 400mH since Tyler Brockington won in 2017, running a new world leading time of 54.02. Garrett’s winning time in the 400mH is the second fastest time in school history and saw her become the eighth 400mH winner in program history. Tristen Harris is the lone Gamecock on the All-SEC Second Team, finishing runner-up in the women’s long jump. Harris, competing in her first ever SEC Outdoor Championship, secured the silver-medal finish after jumping a personal best distance of 6.49m (21-3.5). The

Vrolijk said around 10-20 mm fell across much of the region,  » Read More

Another state has joined the growing legal action against Roblox. Oklahoma announced on Thursday that it has filed a lawsuit against the massively popular gaming site, claiming that it has evolved into a “hunting ground for child predators.” “Roblox marketed itself as a safe place for children but turned a blind eye as predators targeted and exploited minors on its platform,” Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said in a statement. “It failed to implement adequate safeguards, failed to protect young users and failed to be honest with parents about the risks.” Hundreds of millions of people use Roblox every month, and much of the platform’s audience is made up of children. The Oklahoma lawsuit, like others before it, claims that child predators have used the website to get in contact with, groom and exploit minors. Cases argue that Roblox prioritized profits over safety and didn’t do enough to implement measures that could have kept users safe. The company is now facing a slew of lawsuits over these claims. Florida, Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana and other states have filed similar cases against the company. Nearly 150 individuals and families have also filed child exploitation lawsuits in federal court.

Carnie's Comments It's time again for Twitter Tuesday! I feature the best from the best of the Twitterati. After a weekend of snow and rain, this guy shares, "I've never found a windshield wiper setting that truly satisfied me." A funny gal I follow Tweets, "Can you believe these times are still unprecedented?" This guy, "It's very rude to interrupt me when I'm procrastinating." If you have a cat this one's for you, "My cat brings me things when she wants to play and then immediately runs off with it and hides it and we never see it again. It's quite a game we play." This one from first thing this morning, "Live, laugh, love? How about give up and go back to bed?" I like this, "A burglar breaking into my house would eventually just sit down and ask how I’m surviving." And one more, "To whoever stole my camouflage jacket and my flip-flops, you can hide but you can't run."

The "Tarps Off" sensation has swept the nation after the St. Louis Cardinals took members of the Stephen F. Austin club baseball team into the clubhouse to thank them for injecting energy into Cardinal Nation. As the Cardinals get ready for one of the most important stretches of the season to this point, they will be doing so with some of the best vibes in the league. The rebuilding Redbirds are actually near the top of the standings, and shortstop Masyn Winn believes the new-look roster has helped create new levels of confidence in the young players. When compared to Cardinal teams of years past, this young roster is built in a completely different way than we are used to. Most successful St. Louis teams featured a mix of veterans and younger players, with those older players taking control of the clubhouse and teaching "The Cardinal Way" of playing the game. This offseason, though, we saw Chaim Bloom change course, removing the high-priced and underperforming former stars from the roster in order to give the inexperienced guys some consistent opportunity.  » Read More

Scroll through any Facebook feed in Britain and, between the baby announcements and petty neighbourhood beefs, you’re likely to come across an account with a union jack profile picture and a vague, generic name like Britain Today. These accounts – and there are hundreds, possibly thousands of them – present themselves as the work of British patriots. In one typical, AI-generated video, a middle-aged man claims his local cafe “has stopped serving pork, bacon and sausages just to avoid offending people”. Another post from the same account includes a sepia-tinted set of images of Victorian London, mourning a time when the city “was English, first-world and beautiful”. Alongside this type of reactionary nostalgia, it’s not unusual to see memes that call Islam a “cancer”, decry Muslims praying in public as an “invasion of the west” or promote the “great replacement theory” (which claims that white populations are being deliberately replaced by non-white immigrants). For the past seven months, I have been investigating who is really behind pages like these. The answer,  » Read More
