A real news outlet publishing the phrase "Grok apologized" should result in like a week-long timeout. Think about what you've done.

It ain't Somalis scamming everyday Ohioans
Ohioans only need to look up the socioeconomic ladder to see the brazen public corruption happening before our eyes. Not that they'll ever hear that message from unemployed right-wing grifters.

My year in concertgoing. Saw a ton of great shows in 2025, with Nick Cave, Alejandro Escovedo, Iris DeMent, and Yo La Tengo among my top personal highlights. And of course Big Ears and Nowhere Else were an embarrassment of musical riches as always.
