For the life of me, I do not understand how it helps the Buc-ee's brand to go after mom and pop businesses with Microsoft clip art animal mascots. Especially one in a city named for beavers where everything is beaver-themed. www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/buc-ee...

I was shopping for a Bible cover for a family member today and uh... apparently you can buy a Tactical Bible cover. For the devout militia member in your life, I guess? Who no doubt attends worship at a cathedral?

I feel like this hasn't made the news beyond our area, but here's what's been happening in Springfield this week. Today was our first day without a bomb threat as far as I'm aware. www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/2-sprin...

Childhood Muppet Show nostalgia is so strong for me that when we took our kids to see The Muppets movie reboot in 2011, I genuinely teared up when the muppets started singing "it's time to play the music."

Who do you want to guest host a potential revival of The Muppet Show?

Would you rather bring your baby with you to a place you know to be dangerous, or leave them with strangers in a place you know to be safe? That is the impossible choice many Haitian parents in my community are making on the eve of TPS expiring. Lord, have mercy.

I was looking through an old church cookbook for a vegetable casserole and managed to find ... Party Turnips. Party. Turnips. 🎉

How it's going in our community 💔 www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/spring...

He's pretty cute for a fibonacci sequence.

Last week my little neighbor girls were handing out homemade cardboard "cookies" to the neighborhood. I had some flowers left over from an event so I gave them each one. Me: I love cookies! What kind are they? Twin 1: Chocolate chip Twin 2: (simultaneously) Cardboard 1/2

Springfield, Ohio. My guess is about 1,000 strong showing up for a Love Thy Neighbor rally today in support of our Haitian neighbors.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

This group (and others) put my city through the meat grinder last fall and I can't tell you how happy I am to see them facing consequences for their actions. If nothing else than to have to pay lawyers and spend time in court. www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/city-of...

Today I was looking for help to clear up the lingering smell after using the fryer, but house got auto corrected to horse. Google AI fearlessly accepted the challenge.

Sound on for snoring cat. If you look close you can see his toe fur blowing in the breeze of his snore.

In case anyone needs a little ball of fur in their feed.

My Christmas gift to the world is the knowledge that on the Planet Fitness treadmills you can enter your desired speed right on the little keypad and you do not have to boop the plus sign 57 times Also good job to everyone for taking care of their health 👍

I keep thinking about the health insurance CEO shooting yesterday. For me it crystallizes the fundamental dissonance of a private company whose mission is ostensibly health but whose bottom line is financial profits over keeping people alive and healthy. Same for big food corporations.

It's not really Christmas until a dad says "the tree is lit fam."

It's totally normal to go to the Smithsonian and see things from your childhood ... right? My mom for sure still uses some of these.
