I had to check the headline on this story, and it turns out the phrase "Cherry spins gem" appears absolutely nowhere else on the googleable internet.

[DRC Sports @sports_drc]

Aubrey’s Mya Cherry and Krum’s Addison Martindale, two of the Denton area’s best in the circle, dueled throughout Tuesday’s low-scoring district bout.

No. 8 Aubrey won it 2-0 over No. 1 Krum behind a gem from Cherry and some timely small ball.

yay, they stopped at 107 notifications.

[Mariel Tam-Ray @mtamray]

DallasAlert system is having a little freakout right now. I’m getting a barrage of alerts for winter weather in Missoula, Detroit, Baltimore, Phoenix and more. 90 notifications and counting in the past 10 minutes.

[Mariel Tam-Ray @mtamray]

I was making fun of it earlier, but now I could really go for some "near midnight" soup.

[Mariel Tam-Ray @mtamray]

I didn't know election night food arrived IN SUCCESSIVE WAVES for some journalists.

[Byron Tau @ByronTau]

Without further ado, here is Version 1 of Election night NEWSROOM DINNERS. As you can see, I've let a lot of my broadcast sources wither. If you are with ABC, NBC (DC) or Fox, I would like to know what you're eating. DMs are open.

Further updates possible

shoutout to the lady I saw the other day who was reading every single blasted word.

[Mariel Tam-Ray @mtamray]

Very silly thing I made in the name of work. (It's at Denton's Scary Chairy Orchard.)

[Haley Samsel 🍂 @haley_samsel]

After Denton banned fracking, the #txlege limited city authority over oil and gas. It was the beginning of a long battle over local control.

@daveymontgomery (w/ small contributions from me) explores the controversy and its lasting impact on Texas politics.

Me finding this horrendous example of AI combined with public domain (shortly after finding out six years late that my favorite childhood author maybe probably drugged herself to death).

[Mariel Tam-Ray @mtamray]

Oh good. downforeveryoneorjustme confirmed it.

Anyone else unable to get @LearnedLeague's site to load? Just me? I need to do my daily trivia matchup lest I be shunned!
