Texas funeral turns into a dance party

A Texas family’s farewell took an unexpected turn when a club anthem accidentally blasted through the synagogue instead of the usual somber music.

The mix-up, caught on TikTok, brought everyone together and lightened the mood, making the goodbye feel truly personal. Sometimes, the best memories come from the moments we never plan. Has a mishap ever brought your family closer during tough times? #Relationships #Texas #Family

Texas crypto mines outpace two major cities

Crypto mining in Texas now uses more electricity than all the homes in San Antonio and El Paso combined—over 14.7 million megawatt-hours last year alone. That’s about 3% of the state’s total power, and it’s sparking debate as the grid faces record demand. Some say crypto mines are flexible and use surplus energy, but others worry about noise, disruption, and the risk of blackouts. With new laws letting ERCOT shut down big users in emergencies, the conversation about balancing tech growth and reliable power is heating up.
