A recent article in the Dallas-based D Magazine addressed the gradual “de-heating” of jalapeño peppers in recent years. The piece points to consumer taste, a heartier fruit for shipping and larger, virus-free peppers as a cause.

A graduating Texas high school senior has received praise from liberal politicians and celebrities after using her valedictory speech to condemn the state s new abortion restrictions.
Paxton Smith, the valedictorian at Lake Highlands High School in Dallas, Texas, used part of her graduation speech to share concerns about losing the “autonomy” over her body without using the word abortion directly.
A video of her speech, which took place Sunday, quickly went viral.
“I have dreams and hopes and ambitions,” Smith said. “Every girl graduating today does, and we have spent our entire lives working towards our future. And without our input and without our consent, our control over that future has been stripped away from us.”
