• the year the world finally achieved an agreement on addressing climate change.
If this administration has you feeling like the last survivor of Friday the 13th, you’re not alone.
This Friday will mark the second Friday the 13th of the 2026 calendar year, which is interesting but also scary, especially since the last time a calendar year featured two Friday the 13ths in a row was 2015. To wit, 2015 was: • the first year since the middle class developed that the majority of America was no longer part of it.
• the first year that gun deaths became as common as traffic deaths in the United States. • the year that more Mexican immigrants were leaving the United States than entering it.
• the year when white supremacist Dylann Roof shot and killed nine members of Charleston’s historic Emanuel AME Church (including a senior pastor and a state senator) during a Bible study session because he couldn’t get laid. (A girl he was interested in fell for a Black guy.)

• the year Donald J. Trump formally announced his candidacy for the 2016 presidential election at a campaign rally and speech after descending a golden escalator in the Big Apple’s Trump Tower.
By the end of Trump’s first presidency, rational, sane Americans resembled the lone survivor unmoored on Camp Crystal Lake — shocked, appalled, and dazed — but they made it. Trump had further gutted the American middle class, was closer to aiding and abetting gun violence than eliminating it, reversed several environmental regulations, withdrew from the aforementioned climate change accord, and implemented an inhumane family-separation policy for migrants, even though more were leaving than arriving. He also appointed three conservative barf bags to the U.S. Supreme Court, and, when his reelection bid turfed in 2020, his batshit supporters perpetrated the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The sane U.S. citizenry survived it — but only just. Trump’s most underrated achievement was actually helming the first presidency since Herbert Hoover when a sitting president was
defeated and his party lost its majorities in both chambers of Congress. Biden wasn’t great, but at least he managed to avoid being an international disgrace with pedophile files in his closet. Today, as the second of three Friday the 13ths of 2026 approaches, our politics are a sad sequel of MAGA asininity, and Trump has doubled down on dumb and bloody. Plus, a large contingent of the ignorant cretins who voted for him is suddenly acting as surprised as any of the stupid characters who served themselves up on platters for Jason, Freddy, or Michael in all their ridiculous sequels. MEMO TO TRUMP VOTERS: You didn’t cast ballots for nuanced drama, heady action, clever comedy, or an inspiring adventure narrative. You bought tickets for naked greed and shameless perfidy, a cast of bad actors and a budget devoid of meaning, conscience, and integrity. You wanted torture porn — and you got it. Enjoy the climax. It won’t be redacted. — E.R. Bills
Fort Worth native E.R. Bills is the author of seven nonfiction titles, including The 1910 Slocum Massacre. An Act of Genocide in East Texas and TellTale Texas: Investigations in Infamous History.

Wait. Wait. Hold that image. I know what you’re thinking. That’s the young counselor, the lone survivor, alone in a canoe at the end of the movie. That’s Camp Crystal Lake. Kevin Bacon and all the other counselors are dead, but she’s survived. She’s dazed, in shock, but she’s made it. She’s made it. And then … Chh, chh, chh … ah, ah, ahhh. SlashFilm.com says Friday the 13th “remains one of the most shamelessly entertaining slasher franchises of all time,” but the 1980 B-movie original was arguably the best and a nice challenge to John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978). If we’re keeping score, Halloween now boasts 13 iterations, Friday the 13th 12, and their illegitimate lovechild, A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), nine. But Michael Myers was more discreet, a lone gunman so to shriek. Friday the 13th’s Jason and Elm Street’s Freddy actually faced off (pardon the weird pun) in Freddy vs. Jason (2003). In the end — but not the end of the original Friday the 13th — they all amounted to a lot of dumbness with gratuitous helpings of blood. Which is where we are today.

A server at Jake’s Hamburgers on Main Street, Makayla Williams had just finished two double shifts when Mireles caught her for a quick photo. “It’s gonna be insane,” she said, referring to the stock show. “I’m so excited.

Photographer Ontario Mireles spends a lot of his time chasing people with his camera, but he’s not some seedy paparazzi type. He runs a pretty popular Instagram page. With 13K followers, Fort Worth People (@fortworthpeople) features videos and portraits of the folks the 30-year-old Fort Worthian meets while walking around downtown and other nearby neighborhoods. Mireles makes his living as a professional photographer. He works with various clients, including motivational speaker Tony Robbins, Pernod Ricard Champagne and spirits, and Fort Worth Fashion Week. When he’s not earning a living through the lens, he fills up his SD cards with portraits of people. They may be dressed interestingly or have a certain smile or way of walking that Mireles feels compelled to capture. “I would come down with my beginner camera 11 years ago and take photos of random strangers in Fort Worth and then send it to them,” Mireles said. “I eventually stopped, social media grew, and the idea stayed with me. “After all these years, I finally decided to run with the idea,” he continued. “I love Fort Worth so much. It’s my home and my parents’ home. The people, the whole vibe from Fort Worth — it’s close at heart. I think people deserve to get a closer glimpse at the people in their own hometown or for people outside of Fort Worth that want to get

PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting on this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ will hold a public meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing. OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments, and the Executive Director’s decision on the application, will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision and for requesting a contested case hearing. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court. TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone number; applicant’s name and proposed permit number; the location and distance of your property/ activities relative to the proposed facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period and, the statement “[I/we] request a contested case hearing.” If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the group’s representative for receiving future correspondence; identify by name and physical address an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected member’s location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are relevant to the group’s purpose. Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material water quality concerns submitted during the comment period. MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision, you will be added to the mailing list for this specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. In addition, you may request to be placed on: (1) the permanent mailing list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and/ or (2) the mailing list for a specific county. If you wish to be placed on the permanent and/or the county mailing list, clearly specify which list(s) and send your request to TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below.
