Hey gang. I'll be doing election night updates at https://t.co/rw2IKMLD9t. My guess is it'll be a bit faster, but mainly X is so toxic and full of disinformation that I'm looking for something else.
Let's be clear: The disinformation is by design. It's not a bug. It's a feature.

This is just ... OK, it's kind of hard to deny.

Missouri’s two biggest cities look like they’re desperately trying to leave

My entire Twitter feed is Elon Musk commenting "This is crazy" and quote tweeting something that a fourth-grader should be able to tell is made up.

The longer the derelict @sonicdrivein sits at 35th and Noland, the more I think they should post a rail live cam there so we at least get some use out of it. Who’s with me?

I got the chance to be the guest host for the latest @issuesindep We Have Issues Independence podcast. Doug Cowan discusses the city's upcoming bond question(s) to address deferred maintenance, IPD HQ, recreation center, others. It's a good listen.

[Jeff Fox @FoxEJC]

This Royals fan agrees. Less yelling needed, please. He got a little overexcited at a Yankee fly to the warning track early in the game, but hey. It's all good.

[Nick Rodecap @NickRodecap]

Bob Costas is actually good and people just don't like him because he shouts less than a lot of other announcers

[Jeff Fox @FoxEJC]

Got to sit in on the We Have Issues Independence podcast. Discussed community journalism and more. Look it up, take a listen.
BUT first, same podcast, listen to Christina Leakey of Truman Heritage Habitat for Humanity on housing insecurity in our community.

There was a mix-up at the printing plant. Two pages from Leavenworth are in the Sept. 12 Examiner -- meaning readers here got the wrong comics page. Some folks really like that crossword puzzle. I have a TIF of it. Email me at [email protected] and I'll bounce it back to you.

You can't fact check or follow up on the details of every social media post, but sometimes we can hope for a degree of clarity. https://t.co/kHntwEE56P
