- But he may be violating a 60 day notice law for mass layoffs.
- There was a car chase in Dallas yesterday where the guy ditched the car and jumped in a buddy's SUV which had pulled up to help him. And there was a baby transfer at the same time! Video of that moment.
- The heat continues to rise under the $300,000 Man. This opinion piece today says it's not just about Uvalde -- there are a series of incidents demonstrating how he has lied to us for years.
- The fire chief in this video has a weird presentation feature where he appears to be smiling when he talks even thought I really don't think he intends to be smiling. Seems like that would be problematic for him.

- Jerry Jones caught a little heat from The National Federation of the Blind about this Halloween photo where he dressed up as a blind referee. But I'm more surprised ultra-MAGA hasn't stormed Jerryworld over the guy dressed in drag on the right.
- I know this is long, but look at the ridiculous combinations of playoff possibilities in Bridgeport's district. It's comically complicated for every team. (Update: Bridgeport lost last night 71-43 to Sanger after this piece went to press.)
- Former Cowboy and Little Elm grad Cole Beasley supporting a guy who just got suspended for making anti-Jewish comments and refusing to apologize for it..
