Alabama public television commissioners polled PBS approval with an eye toward cutting ties. Instead, they showed Trump’s approval is underwater in the state.

Did not think it was possible to love Mike Tomlin more. Yet, here we are. Dude spent 12 years building the most complex Minecraft city ever.

Yay! My colleagues at @al.com edited my clips of the memorial service for Tuscaloosa city council president Kip Tyner. He was very beloved in his community, so I gathered folks' favorite memories of him. (Also, yes, we use FB a lot. LOL) www.facebook.com/share/r/19jo...

Sen. Eric Schmitt accused Smith of perjury and called him a dirtbag. His trap fell apart, however, just as a camera zoomed in on Sen. Britt.

I've been covering higher education for about 2 years. I've shied away from sexual assault because of underreporting. I'll think about diving into this topic soon. In the meantime, here's my March @al.com report on hazing in Alabama public colleges. www.al.com/news/2026/03...

Editor Brian Lyman writes that Tommy Tuberville's disturbing attacks on transgender people and odd tangents about furries last week reflect a candidate who can't seem to stay on script, which could cause headaches for GOP legislators should he enter the governor's mansion. ow.ly/QMBz50ZRG9q

Quick #Lanterns observation: TV shows & movies like to pin someone's behavior on their mental health. But just like Dex in Daredevil: having a mental illness doesn't make you a jerk. But *untreated,* it can definitely wreck your life and contribute to bad behavior. Everyone is different.

Watching Predators documentary, and 30 minutes in, I'm loving where they're going with this. Rob Pat is cool, but I'm interested in what actually happened, and this is WILD. Back in the day, To Catcha Predator fascinated me. Knowing what I know now...well, I have thoughts.

My theory (granted I'm just a journo, not an educator) but empathy is a learned skill. A lack of empathy means ingesting media, but you are incapable of self-reflection and/or compassion. The world has an empathy problem. Media illiteracy is definitely one of the causes.

*sigh* Y'all. I've talked about this before, but I need at least 1 character to root for. After watching 2 seasons of "Breaking Bad," I hated everyone & gave up. Yes, I missed the intro of Saul and Giancarlo Esposito's character but GOOD GRIEF. Only show in full I've watched in top 10 is Atlanta.

The moment we're experiencing with demonizing furries reminds me of when folks in the BDSM community had to come out and say "Fifty Shades of Gray" does not represent them. Feel free to DM me if you're part of the furry community. (Signal: wmorris.07)

I've unsubscribed to two YouTube channels today that I've followed for years. One video asked "Are you ready to un-cancel Kevin Spacey?" The other video was "Why you should get married now." I have limited brain space. I'm good.
