Is it your worldview? Or is it an algorithm?

Every day, algorithms decide what news you see—and what you don’t. Over time, this can trap you in an echo chamber, shielding you from perspectives you might disagree with. These filter bubbles don’t just shape opinions, they fracture our shared reality.

Enter Ground News.

Instead of pushing one narrative, Ground News shows how outlets from the left, center, and right cover the same story so you can see the full picture.

And instead of an engagement-maximizing algorithm skewing your worldview, their Blindspot Feed reveals stories that are being underreported by either the left or the right—so you can see both the story told and the story untold.

Join 1M+ readers from across the political spectrum who use Ground News to challenge their worldview and become more balanced, well-informed newsreaders.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHT

CLOUD CHIEF & CO.

Tucked away on Main Street in the heart of Old Town Tomball, Cloud Chief & Co. is more than just a shop—it’s an experience. From the moment you walk in, you’re transported into a world where Southwestern style, history, and craftsmanship all come together under one roof.

Cloud Chief & Co. offers a one-of-a-kind mix of curated clothing, sterling silver and turquoise jewelry, home decor, and unique vintage finds. Whether you're hunting for a Pendleton jacket, handcrafted Native American pieces, or a rustic gift with real character, this place has it all—and then some.

But what really makes Cloud Chief stand out is the atmosphere. It’s part boutique, part museum, and completely full of soul. On Saturday nights, you might find locals gathering for a live music session or a casual game of chess—because here, community is just as important as commerce.

So if you're in Tomball and want to shop somewhere that tells a story, make your way to Cloud Chief & Co. It’s the kind of place where you don’t just find something—you discover it.

📍 313 W. Main St., Tomball, TX
🕒 Open Monday through Thursday 10–5, Friday and Saturday 9–6, and Sunday 10–4

Support local. Shop with soul.

NEW BARBERSHOP

REFINERY BARBERSHOP

There’s a new spot in town where sharp fades and good vibes go hand in hand. The Refinery Barbershop just opened its doors in Creekside, and if you haven’t checked it out yet, consider this your official invite.

Originally based in Spring, this is their second location—and it already feels like a perfect fit for Tomball. The shop brings a mix of classic barbershop charm and modern style, offering everything from beard trims and bald fades to hot towel shaves. It’s clean, welcoming, and all about making you look your best.

The barbers here are skilled, personable, and genuinely care about giving you a cut you’ll be proud of. Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are always welcome. So next time you’re due for a trim, swing by The Refinery and see what they’re all about. You’ll leave looking sharp and feeling even better.
