T-Mobile confirmed Monday a "voice and data issue" affected customers, some of whom reported inability to make or receive phone calls or text messages.  Downdetector reported outages for other carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and Metro (both owned by T-Mobile).

Verizon said it is not experiencing an outage.

"Verizon's network is performing well. We're aware that another carrier is having network issues. Calls to and from that carrier may receive an error message," said Rich Young, a Verizon spokesperson. "We understand Downdetector is falsely reporting Verizon network issues."  The 92-year-old who founded the company that created Hello Kitty is leaving after 60 years and handing control to his grandson.  Despite Hello Kitty's enduring popularity, earnings at Sanrio have been under pressure for years. For the year ended March, net profits plunged 95% from the previous year to 191 million yen ($1.8 million), due largely to a drop in merchandise sales and the closure of its theme parks. Sales fell 6.5%, and the Sanrio Puroland theme park in Tokyo — also known as Hello Kitty Land — remains shut after closing in February due to the coronavirus pandemic. The park is scheduled to reopen July 20.

Family-run businesses in Japan often pass on the reins to their eldest sons. The founder's son, Kunihiko, died in 2013 from heart failure, according to the company.  North Texas is welcoming thousands of millennials to the area, though Dallas may not have benefited as much recently. That's according to some new research. Four cities in North Texas ranked among the top 20 in the nation for net migration, according to the latest analysis by SmartAsset, a financial-information provider. Texas was the clear No. 1 among the states.
