A Fiesta grocery store in South Austin saw a shortage of some goods as customers stocked up early in the week. From farm to table, freezing temperatures and power outages are crippling the supply chain that people rely on for food every day. Some are storing their remaining rations in coolers outside, and trips to the grocery store often do little to replenish pantries. Several food banks affiliated with Feeding Texas have also started providing food supplies to emergency warming shelters in the state’s major cities. AdFor Texas residents, disruptions to the food supply chain, often combined with continued power outages, mean eating non-perishable canned goods or leftover items like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

The film was a raucous, gory delight, and remains the best movie on director McG’s otherwise spotty IMDb profile. Which is why it’s a big deal that she, along with the entirety of the original cast, have returned for The Babysitter: Killer Queen, which just dropped on the streaming platform last week. Killer Queen lacks the coherence and razor-sharp dialogue of its predecessor, but it’s a fun ride none the less. Pop culture plays a big part in Killer Queen. If The Babysitter: Killer Queen had been a complete bomb, I would have called her decision a serious miscalculation, but it’s not.

The email is time-stamped May 1, but Cole says Palomino had no relationship with Feeding Texas and other organizations at that time.“If USDA awarded the contract on the basis of having those relationships, that is troubling, because we did not have those until after the award,” Cole told TPR.TPR asked the USDA what impact Palomino’s representations about the relationships could have had on the outcome of his bid, but the agency declined comment.Palomino has been a focus of media investigations since CRE8AD8 improbably landed the sizable federal contract. Those reports have included a history of questionable claims regarding past clients, nonexistent licensing and the firm's inability to deliver on the terms of its government pact.Indeed, CRE8AD8 was only able to complete two-thirds of its obligations under the contract, USDA officials said at a congressional hearing this summer.

We started to see some themes emerging, and we chose to run with those, Youngerman said. The show is based off of the personal experience of the actors, so it required a very different type of acting from the traditional form.

Cities of Memory use various pieces of technology, from moving set pieces to porjectors to sound cues. For our first production meeting for the show, we pitched it to Kyle, and Kyle liked it, Stegink said.
