Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

You've met muscle cars; now meet Spiritual muscle cars. I just love it. It's all-American and making fun of it all, all at once, like, you know, we once were. ...capable of irony. Sigh.

Reading @stephenking.bsky.social was a huge deal in my life. 1. My parents couldn't control what I read in the library and 2. If this guy can get a story about a guy turning into a couch published, then I have nothing to fear in this writing biz.
