"A Flock camera is no different than a police officer sitting on the side of the road watching traffic."

Okay, officer, why tf are there 16 police officers posted in primarily Black #ArdmoreOK neighborhoods 24/7?

As heard on the scanner:

In other news, I've been producing a weekly news and public affairs podcast for #ArdmoreOK #Oklahoma going on 36 weeks.

All because I'm a spiteful jerk who thinks the intrinsic value of local news can't be measured solely on a ledger and will never be fully realized by an out-of-town publisher.

“I have a soccer teammate ... he was talking about leaving to go to Ardmore schools. And there’s another kid who’s already left for Ardmore schools, all because they have soccer,” said Plainview High School freshman Leila Watson.

Spotted a Nazi sign at a major intersection in #ArdmoreOK this morning and taught my kids an important lesson in spring cleaning and human rights.

Love one another and punch the Nazis who try to stop it.

Hey y'all episode 7 of my weekly podcast about local news and public affairs for #ArdmoreOK #oklahoma came out today and has an interview with one candidate for the Southern Tech #education board.

I'm getting a lot of good feedback so far, and I hope you give it a listen.

I keep hearing arguments from some in #ArdmoreOK that the city should have saved the old Colvert house on 12th Aveneue Northwest.

But the funny part is that I see no indication that the city ever had control of the property, which was sold by a family trust to a developer last year.

I finally got both candidates interviewed for my local news podcast, both will be available next week.

Does your town of < 25,000 people have a weekly public affairs program? Because ours sure does!

About 30 people showed up in downtown #ArdmoreOK today for a demonstration in support of the local Mexican-American population.

Exactly 2 counter-protesters showed up and left after about 15 minutes. Turns out one of their coworkers was among the larger group.

Y'all I'm in my new office/studio overlooking downtown #ArdmoreOK and I'm over-the-moon excited about this news endeavor I'm undertaking.

I released my first @thisweek news podcast on Friday and will be doing it again this Friday.
