It's actually really easy and fun to make your own hyperbolic planes using crochet. I had many requests for these after the release of Hyperbolica, so here's a proper tutorial for them.

Last year, Meow Wolf announced its two new permanent locations coming to Texas, including a project in Grapevine (a suburb between Dallas and Fort Worth) and Houston. While the North Texas venue, Grapevine Mills, a destination mall, was part of the original announcement, little information about the Houston location had been shared previously.

Meow Wolf is coming to Houston’s Fifth Ward, at 2103 Lyons Avenue, which is located northeast of the city’s downtown. According to the The Deal Company website, Meow Wolf will be an anchor tenant in a mixed-use property that will be home to nearly 120,000-square-feet of entertainment venues, event spaces, restaurants, artists studios and galleries, creative workspaces, and offices. The Deal Company, led by founder Jon Deal, is the development and investment group that has also developed other studio spaces, most famously Winter Street Studios and the Sawyer Yards creative complex. The industrial property on Lyons Avenue is a 6.88-acre lot with multiple buildings, known as the Moncrief Lenoir Buildings, which are a mix of brick, steel, and wood beam warehouses constructed between 1917 and 1968. The property is located directly across the street from Saint Arnold Brewing Company.

At the ground-breaking ceremony, Harrison Guy, Director of Arts & Culture for the Fifth Ward Cultural Arts District, set the tone by discussing the creative history of the area. Mr. Guy remarked: “Groundbreakings are interesting, because we typically think about the new shiny thing that is going to happen… But in Fifth Ward, we like to think about the people that made this possible before today. So…I’m thinking about the people that were first here. I’m thinking about the people that put their blood, sweat, and tears into this community. I’m thinking about Mel Chin and Melvin Edwards. I’m thinking about Archie Bell and the Drells. I’m thinking about Club Matinee. I’m thinking about the Deluxe Theater and the longstanding history and heritage that is creativity in Fifth Ward. So I don’t want us to think that the story starts today, it started a long time ago from a lot of people who I could only imagine are so proud about what’s about to happen here in Fifth Ward.”
Houston’s Mayor Sylvester Turner speaking at the Meow Wolf groundbreaking ceremony.
Mayor Sylvester Turner stated, “I’m proud to stand here today and announce the City’s partnership with Meow Wolf, and through this public/private partnership, Meow Wolf has committed to renovating and rehabbing this historical 1917 warehouse… It is my expectation that when Houston Meow Wolf opens in 2024… it will bring over 100 new jobs into the community during their first operating year and will hire local trades and companies to help construct this $30 million entertainment experience.”
Jon Deal spoke about the significance of Mayor Turner’s support for Houston’s art community. He shared that days after the Winter Street Studio fire, Mayor Turner reached out and implored Mr. Deal to promise to rebuild the studios. Then, a few months later, Mayor Turner announced that the city was donating $250,000 to the Houston Arts Alliance Emergency Relief Fund to support artists affected by the fire. Mr. Deal also thanked Greg Lewis, a local commercial broker, who had the vision of bringing Meow Wolf to Houston, and Ori Batagower, the New Development & Acquisitions Director at The Deal Company, whose help was instrumental in advocating for the city despite the organization’s initial insistence that it wanted one Texas location in Grapevine.

Houston-based graffiti artist Mario Enrique Figueroa Jr., also known as GONZO247, also spoke at the groundbreaking. He has been named the artist-liaison for Meow Wolf in Houston. Mr. Figueroa noted how street art was a creative outlet for him from a young age, and expressed excitement over the increasing number of large-scale murals coming to the city. To end the ceremony, he invited Mayor Turner, Meow Wolf CEO Jose Tolosa, Mr. Deal, Mr. Guy, Council Member Tarsha Jackson, and other local representatives to spray paint the Meow Wolf logo on a wall of the organization’s future location.

Liam Proven, reporting for The Register: Over 21 years after it first came out, the Microsoft operating system that will not die is receiving another lease of life. It's possible to activate new installations, safely and securely, without a crack, off line. A blog post on tinyapps has revealed the hot news that nobody sane has been waiting for: the algorithm that Microsoft uses to validate Windows XP product keys has been cracked and reimplemented. As a result it's now possible to generate valid activation codes for Windows XP, without an internet connection, even though Microsoft has turned off all the activation servers.
This is not a recommendation
But first, a word of caution and restraint. Please don't take this article as a recommendation to run Windows XP. It wasn't the most secure of operating systems back in 2001, and you really should not be running it in 2023 -- especially not on anything that is connected to the internet. However, saying that, the problem is that sometimes people need to. There is, for example, hardware out there that only works with Windows XP and won't work with anything newer... and some of it might be very expensive hardware, which is still perfectly functional -- but which requires a long-obsolete version of Windows to operate it. If you are lumbered with such a device, or you have got some single specific and very particular piece of software that you need to run and which doesn't work properly on any newer version of Windows, then you may be forced to use XP. If so, one of the problems is that Microsoft has turned off the activation servers, so even if you install clean fresh copy, you can no longer activate it over the Internet. (Allegedly, the telephone activation service still works, if that's an option for you.)

More than a decade after federal investigators began seizing Texas real estate and bank accounts owned by former Mexican officials who had plundered public coffers, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) says it’s returning some of that money to the country where it was stolen.
The DOJ said plans to send $26 million to Mexico represent a historic first: The United States has never returned the recouped proceeds of corruption to its southern neighbor.
That money is a portion of tens of millions of dollars federal prosecutors based in Texas recovered during a sprawling investigation into state and municipal officials from Mexico that the Texas Observer has chronicled the last two years.
From 2012 to 2018, prosecutors and federal agents in Houston, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and the Rio Grande Valley aggressively targeted government officials and business owners from four Mexican states who the Department of Justice alleged had stolen public funds and laundered the money in Texas. They traced stolen money to condos on South Padre Island, gas stations and strip malls in Brownsville, a storage tower in San Antonio that sold for nearly $11.5 million, and homes in the Austin and Houston areas. The cases illustrate how the United States struggles to deter kleptocrats from laundering money here and exposed shortcomings in banking and real estate regulations. The DOJ eventually abandoned the prosecutions, dismissing indictments and quietly settling civil lawsuits—but not before recovering tens of millions of dollars through forfeiture, the legal process of compelling a property owner to surrender assets.
The plans to return some of that money—victims of financial crimes can petition to recover funds seized by the Department of Justice—raise new questions about how the United States should handle dirty money from abroad. The DOJ’s stated goal in seizing the money is to make the United States a less attractive place for corrupt foreign officials to launder money and to return embezzled public funds.
“These monies that these kleptocrats steal … first of all greatly impoverish the people in the country, and second of all completely undermine the mechanisms for democracy and rule of law these countries need to ensure kleptocracy doesn’t continue,” said Tutu Alicante, a human rights activist from Equatorial Guinea living in exile in the United States.
But returning that money isn’t always easy. In many countries, the corruption that allowed the theft in the first place still exists even when the United States is trying to give the money back.
When repatriating the proceeds of corruption, countries like the United States need to ask, “Who ultimately is the victim of the corruption?” said Sarah Saadoun, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch. “In situations like this, where public funds are stolen … the question becomes, what would benefit the public the most?”
In 2017, Mexico’s government sent a request to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions asking for $2.28 million the U.S. government had seized from a Bermuda bank account belonging to former Coahuila state Treasurer Héctor Javier Villarreal Hernández. Coauhila, which borders parts of South and West Texas, has been in dire financial straits since 2011, when news broke that Villarreal and other officials had siphoned hundreds of millions of dollars from a massive public works campaign. Today the state owes nearly $2 billion.
Villarreal was eventually accused in Mexico of falsifying government records to take out nearly $250 million in loans on the state’s credit and, in the United States, of laundering tens of millions of dollars through Texas real estate and bank accounts. Mexico’s federal government is ultimately responsible for paying the debt Villarreal fraudulently accrued, wrote Raúl Cervantes Andrade, Mexico’s attorney general at the time of the 2017 petition. In April of this year, the Department of Justice said it will return $26 million of the money it has recovered.
In Mexico, that’s sparked a debate over whom should get the money, and confusion reigns about how it will be spent. The Department of Justice says Mexico’s federal government has pledged to spend the money on a fentanyl education program. State officials in Coahuila have called for it to be returned to them. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has said if he sends the money to Coahuila, it will just be stolen again.
“We have to ensure that it’s being handled well, because people are already saying it should be sent to Coahuila. No,” López Obrador said during a May press conference. “To the people of Coahuila, yes, but we need to be careful with how we handle this money.”
Corruption and impunity remain problems at the federal level in Mexico as well. López Obrador has faced allegations of corruption and his security forces have perpetrated human rights abuses and engaged in domestic spying. As if to underscore how far the corruption reaches, Villarreal, who pleaded guilty to financial crimes in 2014 in San Antonio but still hasn’t been sentenced, testified earlier this year in the New York trial of Genaro García Luna, Mexico’s former head of public security. A jury found García Luna guilty of taking bribes from drug traffickers, and he’s accused in a separate civil lawsuit, filed by Mexico’s federal government in Miami, of inflating contracts in exchange for bribes.
Mexico has also failed to bring charges against other former Coahuila officials. Villarreal is still wanted in Mexico, but prosecutors there have not charged the dozens of other former officials and state contractors he’s testified were involved in a complex scheme involving inflated and falsified contracts. The fraudulent loans, which are the focus of Mexico’s investigation, were part of a much larger conspiracy to defraud the state and control the political process in Coahuila, Villarreal testified before a Corpus Christi federal judge in 2021.
At the state level, “the accountability systems are very weak, and the governors are very corrupt,” said Raúl Benítez Manaut, a professor and researcher at the Autonomous University of Mexico and an expert on U.S.-Mexico relations. There’s more oversight at the federal level, but “the government of López Obrador is not serious about combating corruption,” he added.
When the Department of Justice reached a settlement in 2014 with the son of Equatorial Guinea’s president to turn over more than $30 million in U.S. assets prosecutors said were purchased with the proceeds of corruption, simply returning it to the country from where it was stolen was not an option. President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo has ruled since 1979, and U.S. officials realized once his son’s Malibu mansion, Ferrari sports car, and rare Michael Jackson memorabilia were sold off, the money could end up back in the hands of the same despotic family that has plundered the Central African nation for decades. Obiang’s son, who purchased all those assets, is now the country’s vice president.
After seven years of negotiating, the United States and Equatorial Guinea agreed to send nearly $20 million to the United Nations for a COVID-19 vaccine program and more than $6 million to a charitable organization in Maryland.
One problem, said Alicante, whose nonprofit EG Justice worked with U.S. investigators trying to understand the theft of public funds in Equatorial Guinea, was that by the time the money was donated, the country already had a vaccine program. The Department of Justice had come up with a novel solution to the problem of returning ill-gotten gains to foreign nations, but those decisions should involve civil society in the country where it was stolen, Alicante said.
“You have to have some mechanisms for accountability,” he said. “It’s great that you can give vaccines to people. But are we ensuring the people who suffered most from kleptocracy are prioritized?”
Trying to return money through nongovernmental organizations would be difficult in Mexico, Benítez Manaut said. For one thing, López Obrador is deeply distrustful of nongovernmental organizations, particularly those with ties to the United States. For another, U.S. anti-drug and anti-immigration policies are deeply reliant on Mexico’s help.
In the Coahuila case, the United States has a potentially simple solution: use the $26 million to pay off some of the state’s crushing debt. As to why the United States and Mexico haven’t agreed to that, Benítez Manaut said, “I don’t know the answer.”
“You have to have some mechanisms for accountability.”
Questions also remain about how much money the United States has recovered. Court records and public auction results show Villarreal forfeited $34 million in real estate and bank accounts to the federal government and nearly $6 million more to Bexar County. Federal judges in San Antonio have sealed portions of settlements with a Coahuila businessman and the mother-in-law of a former governor, making it impossible to know who ended up with their money. Defendants have also surrendered property behind closed doors, including a Mercedes McLaren, a rare sports car that can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars, that Villarreal testified he forfeited.
Department of Justice officials would not agree to an interview for this story. Instead, the agency said in a statement:
“DOJ provides remission to qualifying victims from assets recovered in the case net of expenses. Sometimes only a portion of the loss are recovered in forfeiture in a case. For example, sometimes a defendant spends the funds on items that cannot be recovered like living expenses or entertainment, other times the defendant spends the money on assets that have not been maintained and thus the value is less than the original purchase price.”
Transparency “matters on both sides of the border,” Saadoun said. “I think it matters both to make sure the U.S. is fully accounting for all of the assets that were [seized] … and making sure once it is repatriated it actually … goes to repay the original loans or is going to some other way of benefiting the public.”
We start today’s post off by wishing everyone a safe and pleasant Memorial Day Weekend, and as we honor those that have fallen in defense of our freedoms, we thank those who have served and are currently serving our country today.
Simply put: The weekend looks great with nothing worse than a “typical” chance of PM showers, particularly Sunday and Monday. Next week looks a touch more interesting, but we’ll cover that more in depth Monday.
Friday through Monday
The period between now and Monday looks pretty steady state. Expect plenty of sunshine and highs near 90 each afternoon. Morning lows should be in the upper-60s to low-70s. Humidity won’t exactly be low, but it will not be oppressive by Houston standards.
Friday is an ozone action day, and it’s possible we will see more of this through the weekend, with conditions unhealthy for sensitive groups to ozone. (NOAA)
We’ve been dealing with ozone action days most of this week, and today will be no exception. Lots of sun and lots of traffic means lots of ground level ozone. Those sensitive to high ozone levels will want to take it easy today and probably again this weekend too. We may also see a little haze as some lingering wildfire smoke from both Canada and Central America may come back toward us this weekend, but hopefully it will be clearer than we saw earlier this week.
In terms of rain? We’ll go for a requisite 10 percent or so chance of a stray shower today and tomorrow. Sunday, we could bump those chances up to 15 or 20 percent, and by Monday they could be more like 20 to 30 percent. Most areas will likely stay dry through the weekend, but just know that Monday carries the highest chance of a wetting shower in the area. As a result of slightly higher rain chances, Monday could be a couple degrees cooler as well.
Next week
After Monday, things become a little more unsettled with some disturbances swinging through. This should allow for slightly cooler temperatures and slightly higher rain chances from Tuesday into Wednesday. Additional shower chances may arrive toward next weekend.
The 8 to 14 day outlook for Texas shows slightly higher confidence for below average temperatures, allowing summer to start on a relatively mild note for our area. (NOAA)
Overall, the pattern over Texas is likely to remain cooler than average and perhaps wetter than average over the next 10 to 14 days. We will see how long that lasts. Look for an update on Monday morning to set the table for next week. We will also share some thoughts on hurricane season next week as well. Enjoy the weekend!

After more than 25 years, the Pokémon anime is making some big changes. Perpetual 10-year-old protagonist Ash Ketchum is headed off with Pikachu to make room for new stars, sparking a wave of nostalgic sadness among multiple generations of fans. But just as heartbreaking has been the farewell to the long-time villains of the show—and, for many parts of the internet, a set of beloved queer icons.
In the Pokémon games, Team Rocket is an evil organization dedicated to exploiting Pokémon. But in the anime, it’s usually only a trio of bumbling, loveable field agents, scheming up ways to separate Pikachu and Ash. Jessie, James, and Meowth appear in the second-ever episode, and they’ve been a fixture of every season since.

Despite being nominally the show’s main antagonists, the group has long been popular with viewers. For starters, they’re more comic relief than villains. Their incompetence means they never really pose a threat to Pikachu; instead, the whole affair is played for laughs, thanks to their constant failures.
And although they work for an evil organization, the trio is not really shown to be bad people. As early as Episode 14, Jessie, James, and Meowth are shown briefly taking Ash and Pikachu’s side, as Pikachu tries to defeat gym leader Lt. Surge. At first, the trio is disappointed that Pikachu is struggling and wondering if he’s worth stealing at all. But they quickly find themselves caught up in the drama of whether or not Pikachu will be forced to evolve into Raichu against his will in order to win. The group ends up supporting Ash and Pikachu at the Gym, and at the end of the episode, James realizes: “Drat! We wasted this episode cheering the good guys!” Since then, they pretty regularly end up supportive of, or at least not actively hostile toward, Ash and the other heroes.
They also each have a sympathetic backstory, with the show fleshing out their backstories and motivations over the years. None of them is particularly ideologically invested in Team Rocket; instead, they each fell into a life of crime and ended up sticking together, because of their lack of alternative options as well as their growing friendship.

As the first generation of Pokémon anime fans grew up, Team Rocket became more and more of a cultural touchstone. Suddenly, the struggling twenty-somethings who couldn’t quite find their place in the world or succeed at their ambitions felt more relatable than the plucky, eternally optimistic kid protagonists. A sub-fandom of the larger Pokémon fanbase sprang up, dedicated to the trio. And where there’s fandom, there’s always going to be queer interpretations of the text—of which there are plenty around Team Rocket.
But in Team Rocket’s case, the readings had a pretty solid foundation in canon. Perhaps the most obvious example was James’ repeated crossdressing. The trio often appeared in disguise, and these often involved James wearing clothes that are traditionally considered feminine. Often he and Jessie both appeared in skirts or dresses, but other times, they both subverted traditionally gendered expectations. In one scene, for example, they disguised themselves as a couple on their way to their wedding ceremony. Jessie wore a tuxedo, while James was the bride in the white dress.

In another notable episode, “Beauty and the Beach,” Jessie and James (as well as Ash’s friend Misty) appear in bikinis, with James apparently using “inflatable breasts” to get the effect. (You might not remember this from your childhood experience of the show—the episode was originally banned during the show’s U.S. run, but was later released with the scene omitted.)
There are subtler implications of their queerness, too. All three of the villains’ backstories show them as misfits and outcasts, something that’s easy for LGBTQ+ fans to latch onto. But the story of James’ childhood in particular can also easily be read as an allegory for growing up gay. An early episode depicted him as running away from home to avoid an arranged marriage with a woman. This was ostensibly because she was mean and overbearing, but then, that didn’t stop him from getting close to the domineering Jessie. Later, in Pokémon the Movie 2000, Jessie says that “getting involved with the opposite sex” is “only asking for trouble.” James replies that that’s “the kind of trouble I stay out of.”
The canonical evidence for Jessie being a member of the LGBTQ+ community may be thinner on the ground, but her subtler rejection of gender roles and proximity to James (queer people stick together, after all) have often led fans to assume that both of Team Rocket’s human members belonged to the community. And though that means that Meowth is sometimes cast as the token straight friend, it’s also crucial to note that the talking cat Pokémon was voiced for much of the show’s run by a groundbreaking intersex and trans voice actress, Maddie Blaustein.
Of course, the elements of Team Rocket that verge on canonical queerness probably weren’t intended to be particularly positive. James’ fluid gender presentation was seemingly a major part of the comic relief of the series, rather than a meaningful attempt at representation. It also leans close to tropes around effeminate, gay, or trans feminine villains, a trend which grew out of the Hays Code in 1934, a US standard for media that forbade positive portrayals of homosexuality until the late 1960s. Instead, bad guys would portray a subtextually implied LGBTQ+ identity This is known as queer coding, which became a way to make them appear more untrustworthy or even threatening. Due to its common use for decades, queer coding continues to be an overused trope.
But Pokémon mostly managed to sidestep this trope-filled storytelling in all but the broadest terms. James’ multifaceted, often sympathetic portrayal helped queer fans latch onto him. In the media landscape of the ’90s, James’ queer-coded presentation was perhaps better than expected; as internet fandom grew and successive generations of kids became teens and adults, more and more people were able to put their spin on their childhood faves in a considered, authentic way.
Twitter users have claimed them. Queer publications have celebrated them. And although Jessie and James are often shipped together (and even depicted as married and with a child on the way in one unlocalized manga volume), it’s commonly accepted among fans that both are bisexual or similar. There’s no consensus, however—it’s more of a general acceptance that Team Rocket could be anything other than cisgender and heterosexual. They’ve even been cosplayed by drag artists, echoing back to those early boundary-pushing James moments.
But that only makes it sadder that they’ve potentially bowed out of the series, alongside Ash, Pikachu, and friends. Their adoption as queer icons isn’t something that can be easily replicated. At the very least, it would need another long collaboration, with kids growing up on the series building their own fanworks on its foundations. But it’s simply unlikely that a new Pokémon show in the 2020s would introduce a flamboyant, crossdressing bad guy to set that spark in motion.
Team Rocket’s adoption by the LGBTQ+ community may have been a one-off that we never see again. But as we bid them farewell, there is at least once solace: We’ll always have the memories—and the fanfiction.
