Sesame Street's still on your local public TV station for free, and for the first time in years, new episodes will debut the same day they stream on Netflix & PBS Kids. Free, over the air, for everyone, right away. Like it always used to be.

The children's series has found a new streaming home — Netflix, PBS stations and PBS KIDS will air new episodes on the same day. And Netflix will also run 90 hours from the Sesame Street library.

Tapas, small plates, shareable treats – call them what you will, there are lots of examples of great cuisine in small portions at Houston area restaurants. We’ll find out about some of them on this month’s The Full Menu, on Wednesday's @HoustonMatters .

A shout-out to my friend @mattderrick from who transitioned quickly from victory parade watching Wednesday to disseminating, sharing, and re-posting relevant info in the hours after the shooting. Sorry you had to; glad you were able to.

I wonder if I helped will today's trending of comedian Phyllis Diller into being. I was just thinking of her straight-to-video turn as Miss Poopinplatz (ask your friends who know Yiddish) in the 1991 horror-ish film opposite Norman Fell. Yes, really.

Here's a fascinating conversation my colleague Michael Hagerty did for today's @HoustonMatters about an art project to support Houstonians facing eviction.
houstonpublicmedia.org
Houstonian Holland Martin shares her story of facing eviction and artist Jody Wood talks about her project, Not For Sale Real Estate, which is based on — and benefits — people in such a plight.
