Before you head home from work, make sure to catch up on @tomtimm.bsky.social Open Cup preview:

@danarieck.bsky.social with a deep look at an out-of-state landlord who owns a LOT of St. Louis apartments.

Ohio-based Paul Kiebler IV hired companies to work on the St. Louis-area properties — from painting to plumbing to landscaping — and then never paid them, the suits say.

THE FALSE SUN OF MIDDAY

Kidding, of course. Meteorologists do things I could never do.

I mean, I'm not a meteorologist, but I grew up in the midwest. That kind of counts, right?

Ilona Lowen tribute in the supporters section

Read the comments on this one. Seriously.

As a young teen, sitting in the South Grand YMCA lobby after swim team practices, I'd read the RFT. From Hartmann's column to the back-page classifieds, it was fascinating. Watched him on Donnybrook for years. Didn't know him personally; my thoughts are with those who did.

"I have no idea why the Hillsdale Police chief would want someone who engaged in a fraud working in his office, but that's his business," Judge Cristian Stevens said from the bench.

"I understand personal hardship does not justify illegal actions," Cymone McClellan told Judge Rodney Sippel.

Gary Johnson, 46, of East St. Louis, shot Portia Rowland in the driveway of her Collinsville home on Jan. 21, 2025.

The 21-story building in downtown St. Louis is a largely unsecured spot for late-night visitors. It's even become a setting for social media posts.

Hartmann, 73, of St. Charles, founded the Riverfront Times, ran St. Louis Magazine, and was a popular figure on KETC (Channel 9)'s "Donnybrook" show.

🚨 Tornado Warning issued April 15 at 9:40PM CDT until April 15 at 10:30PM CDT by NWS St Louis MO 🚨 Additional Details Here.

@tonymess.bsky.social writes about the police action at a condemned apartment complex: "If the raid was truly about public safety, and only about public safety, why use it to highlight a political fight over money?"

And, from yesterday, Eduard Lowen wears No. 10 and may be playing at the No. 10 (attacking midfield) spot when he returns to play. And other notes. www.stltoday.com/sports/profe...

This is incredible. Thrilled to see a women's pro sports league able to offer this level of salary and benefits.

Every time I log into a system I use several times a day, using a password, I get an email with a 2FA code. Subject of the email: "Passwordless login!" It bothers me every time. The exclamation point and the insistence that it's "passwordless" when it is not. And I can't turn the 2FA off.

Consistently surprised by the things people will say in comments. I can see your work email that you're using to log in, commenters.

Notes on a bleeding Brown, a fast pace, a late start and a sick announcer, in a very long SLU notebook from Buffalo www.stltoday.com/sports/colle...

“If you aren’t the breadwinner, you don’t know how you’re going to feed your family, you don’t know how you’re going to make the rent or mortgage payment. You don’t even know how much you’re going to get,” Hill said. “You’re left with so much uncertainty, it exacerbates the grief you have.”

Gotta be honest, feels like a groundhog day headline: [Coach] sees progress in play, but not in results
