I've been on-site volunteering next to Mandy Murphey with Grassroots Redeeming Love and can confirm she's the real deal. The past two weekends we helped relocate a tornado victim to his new home. There's more opportunities to help just in time for 6 months post-storm.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Darryl was still collecting tax liens out in St. Charles County a decade ago. I used to have to send collection letters to him on behalf of county government/State of MO.
Darryl Strawberry, the baseball slugger who won the World Series while with the New York Mets and Yankees, but whose career was tainted by drug use and other legal problems, received a pardon from President Trump for his three-decade-old tax evasion conviction.

O’Fallon Park nearly 6 months after the St. Louis tornado. Trees have been removed but the landscape is forever changed. You hear talk of replanting at Forest Park but this one desperately needs it. This park is loved and people see the lack of planting as just one more way they’ve been forgotten.

Anyone been noticing more vehicles at the closed fake-Paul McKee hospital lately? I drove by yesterday and saw 5 security vehicles (slightly up from last visit), the jersey barriers on Thomas were moved, and there was a dumpster being filled out back. 👀
