On your November ballot, there will appear 18 proposed amendments to the Dallas city charter, which is quite something.

Listening is key to civil conversations — even during a contentious election year. 33:10

2M ago33:10

33:10

In this polarized world it's easy to imagine civility is dead — or at least has one foot in the grave. Dare we try to have an impromptu conversation about presidential politics, religion, guns, abortion or Israel-Gaza, many of us might fall prey to our emotions and the physical hackles rippling through our bodies. But it doesn't have to be that way…

A number of people in nineteenth-century Wales claimed faery ancestry.

The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022 seemed like a green light for long-awaited clean energy initiatives.

1:03:51

Over the years, starting in 1992, D Magazine has unintentionally caused the man grief. In this episode, Tim and Zac run through the slights—but only to properly apologize. Also to give Zac a moment to humble-brag. For reference, here is what Eric Celeste's 1992 profile of Aikman looked like with the dumb "Troy Aikman Won't Dance" headline. Here's A…
