Something called "Vietwiches" has plans to come to Maumelle and my Bahn Mi-sense is tingling. I might be also having a stroke. Six of one ... www.arkansasnewsroom.com/p/vietwiches...

Believe it has been delayed due to lightning in the area. Waiting to get the all clear from the National Weather Service.

What a day at the mailbox! @theonion.com and @thebeliever.net fresh from the press. My desk is also very messy!

I have a new great niece today. Yay! Also, wanna feel old? She should still be alive in the 22nd century. Of course, all the great nieces and nephews should be. Kennedy be damned. Anyway. I hope they say hi to Capt. Archer for me!!!

Real study in contrasts in today’s paper. Full page paid ad praising Charlie Kirk. @jamellebouie.net column leading the opinion section. This after an earlier columnist praised Kirk saying all those bad things you heard he said were taken out of context. The staff art for opinion looks cool though.

In high school, we called this play “mass confusion” and practiced it but I don’t think we ever ran it in a game. As the some goes, the Statue of Liberty only works once, don’t throw it away.

I hope the OKC hookers are prepared for Freeze, because he’s coming. Hard.

This kind of shamelessness is normally reserved for SEC assistant football coaches giving cash to the second uncle, once removed, of a top recruit.

Maybe the worst Arkansas loss since the Belk Bowl meltdown to Virginia Tech.

Mad enough to blog about it (™️ @tomscocca.bsky.social) I hate writing about national news on a local news site, but the Kimmel stuff is both dumb and disturbing. www.arkansasnewsroom.com/p/jimmy-kimm...

Please, please let the Zoom call have been on a Sunday.

I'm so old, I remember when the pod/Obama boys defended Jackson and called him a good dude.

In honor of the Mark Twain show I’m about to see, here’s a photo of the historical marker for Twain’s Plum Point at Osceola, Arkansas. Cc @historicalmarker.bsky.social

I don’t check Facebook very often and this isn’t shade to her but when I do, all I get are notifications telling me Gwen Moritz has posted about this or that. I get emails from FB telling me Gwen has posted. I don’t know why the algo has decided she’s the most important person in my feed. Just weird

Hmm, Chris Jones and French are essentially tied in polling. That, COSTCO HAS FOUNTAIN COKES NOW and so much more. In the all news you need to know. Also if you're a rich person looking to support local journalism, give me money. So slide into my DMs. www.arkansasnewsroom.com/p/polls-have...

I don't think it's cruel or "too soon" to suggest that we actually remember Kirk for who he was. As Voltaire wrote, "The living deserve our respect. The dead deserve only the truth."

Watching CNN and Jake Tapper is solemnly speaking about tamping down the political violence and then says, now let's hear from Scott Jennings. And I guess Tapper doesn't see the problem with that.

One of my favorite dumb things I remember is how much shit Clinton caught from going to a Hogs basketball game because of the hassle Secret Service was for fans. Presidents stayed away from events because of that and Trump's like 'derp, derp, I go where I want' and no one seems to care.

My main takeaway from YouTube TV's multi-view is no matter how many games are on, they're always at commercials at the same time. Pro games, two here, commercials. Four at a time college games? Also, commercials.

Lord willing, Creek don't rise, etc., that was the last Arkansas game at War Memorial Stadium www.arkansasnewsroom.com/p/arkansas-5...

LRPD denied me entry into War Memorial as they said the media parking pass I had been issued by UA wasn't actually a media parking pass. This was after waiting in traffic for two hours after I had been detoured onto Markham after they had closed Fair Park. Can't spell Little Rock without shitshow

Hey @radleybalko.bsky.social is there some sort of backstory here? Feels kind of incredible that one state trooper has arrested eight sober people for DUI and nothing appears to have happened to him. www.wsmv.com/2025/08/28/f...

I just did this. Espn had just cut away for a commercial. I turned off the delay and espn was already back from commercial. I’d guess it was about a 30 second delay.

I don’t know if sports ball talk is okay here but Hugh Freeze is looking large on the sideline. Had the puffy face of the hard drinker.

www.arkansasnewsroom.com/p/football-i... Football has arrived and there's also a deep dive into New Orleans and Katrina, 20 years later. Worth a read, if that's your thing.

some of you need to make like travis kelce and engage with a tailor swiftly

Our joint checking account doesn’t even have a check book, which was a real pain in the ass when I needed to do a first deposit with a voided check.

My dearest We sought solace on the Cook Islands but, alas, the locals deployed their chief of war. The trade winds should take us back to the coast to continue the campaign. All my love Gen. Luck.

The hand bruising is likely from that being an IV site, that plus the swollen ankles, weight, age and previous covid would indicate he’s being treated for an undisclosed heart condition.

As for the day's discourses, Recently used twitter for a freelance project and it was just bad. Also, I've eaten at Cracker Barrel once in the last five-ish years and the food, at dinner, was gross. Which seems consistent with previous trips.

Today I learned there's a high school named Jimtown and their mascot is the Jimmies and I'm completely obsessed as the logo isn't a donut sprinkle but a pick ax, I think. Anyway, it is wild jimtownathletics.org

Do you like to make art? Well, this week's news is for you as there's not one but two opportunities to make money from your art, I mean you have to enter to win and the competition could be fierce but the worst that could happen is be told no. www.arkansasnewsroom.com/p/charter-st...

I've been once and that was enough as it was very hot that day but it was fun.

Has a good beat, I think I could dance to it.

Last week in the Rockaways.

Pictures of Sam Pittman are very popular amongst a certain set. There's also some local news, if that's your sort of thing. www.arkansasnewsroom.com/p/pittman-ki...

I’m digging @wired.com and glad I got the subscription that mails the print edition to the house but seeing the latest cover, with Kennedy on it, makes my brain hurt.

Local news: Something, something. Of note, the last time we wrote about the Council member pictured below, it got picked up by some racist website and traffic blew up. Clicks! www.arkansasnewsroom.com/p/wesley-com...

So the graphic ICE used for the "Speedway Slammer" aka the concentration camp planned for Indiana just happened to feature the car driven by Indy Car's lone Mexican driver. Huh. CC: @historicalmarker.bsky.social apnews.com/article/pato...

Weird the cops haven’t given a motive in the devils den killings. If he was a creep trying to grab kids, cops would have blasted out “hero parents.” Other possibility is a confrontation on the trail that turned violent., which would make me think racial or political, but cops would keep that quiet.

FOIAball is here: foiaball.com Today, we're kicking off with four stories that we're pretty sure you are going to like. If you are interested in Bill Belichick, Texas, FSU or college mascots, we've got something for you! Give it a look and let us know what you think!

Yarvin and the rest of the weirdos trying to speak to authentic America ™️ wouldn’t survive the night if they got dropped into the stands of Ozark when he Hillbillies host the Harrison Golden Goblins in a couple of weeks.

In other Arkansas news, an arrest has been made in the Devil’s Den killings. Presser tomorrow. dps.arkansas.gov/news/asp-arr...

Come for the unexpected virtues of shopping at Walmart -- I know, I know, I was surprised as anyone -- and stay for a real life sighting of "sports ball" in the wild. Local news delivers multitudes. www.arkansasnewsroom.com/p/back-to-sc...

I'm at 30 for actual visits but 33 if you count the airport layovers.

The “California millionaires” who move to Arkansas have about a three year shelf life before they move to wherever their kids / grandkids live.

Oh I forgot to post the baseball cards of the striking workers they were handing out. Genius.

I know others have done the maths but my dude could have went in and ordered the burger meal deal 200 times. And 250 times if you don’t leave a tip.

If you’re feeling uneasy, it’s probably because we now know we live in a country built on the blackmail of a dead pedophile who is Too Big to Fail, so Congress has to go home for a couple of months to figure out how talk about it without defenestrating the president and collapsing the economy.

Football, blessed football, gets closer and that's a good thing. Means the Summer Slowdown ™️ nears its end. One of the dumb things about local news is nothing really happens in the summer. Too damned hot. Anyway, here's this week's offerings. www.arkansasnewsroom.com/p/football-n...
