Top tracks, for me, of 2025. It's #NYE, so shuffle ... and move. #Singles2025

I'm not sure there are words for how timely Andor season 2 looks like it's going to be.

It’s One of the Year’s Best Movies. Why Is It Getting Shut Out of All of the Awards? Secrets & Lies was nominated for five Oscars. Why is the team’s new movie getting blanked?

as promised, I am here to rage about Marianne Jean-Baptisteβ€”named by the New York Film Critics Circle, the LA Film Critics Association and the National Society of Film Critics as the best actress of 2024β€”being completely ignored by the Oscars. I doubt voters even watched Hard Truths.

Plans set in motion for a new Chick-fil-A location in Columbia A new Chick-fil-A location in South Columbia is currently in the early stages of development. A new Chick-fil-A location in South Columbia is currently in the early stages of development. The city is ...

ICYMI, a new Chick-fil-A is in the works for south #CoMo. If you've seen or endured the lines at the Shoppes at Stadium spot, a second location was a long time coming. With Trader Joe's heading into that area, this should relieve congestion a bit. Maybe. www.columbiamissourian.com/news/local/p...

The real ones recall, before things were adjusted, heading west back to downtown #CoMo from the Clark Lane area by hopping on the ramp off the I-70 Connector, quickly making your way across a couple of lanes and heading left on Exit 128. Previous pro tip, and not perilous at all.

Put this up on X the other day, and it got some traction there, so I'll open with it here: For those who have been in town for a while, Tuesday night's closing of Exit 128 marked the end of a pretty profound landmark in #CoMo history. #TakeTheLeft columbiamissourian.com/news/local/i...
