A review for a Little Caesar’s somewhere by Kevin S: Stopped into this Little Caesars just trying to get a $6 pizza and ended up in a full on action movie. Just as I grabbed my order, this furious dude barges in yelling about how I cut him off in traffic earlier. Before I can even respond, he throws a punch but then out of nowhere the guy behind the counter jumps over it like he's been waiting for this moment his whole life and just beats the living hell out of the guy. The guy ran off and the cashier just dusted himself off. I said "are you ok man" and he looked me dead in the eye and said "B*tch, this is Little Caesars. We always hot and ready." Five stars. Will absolutely return.

I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣

Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡

Gina Ortiz Jones elected mayor of San Antonio The vote tally was 77,484 for Jones and 65,202 for Rolando Pablos.

I'm so happy that a former student of mine, Gina Ortiz Jones, was elected mayor of #sanantonio! Of course, my being her professor had nothing to do with it, because she is amazing! A model public servant! #ginaortiz

There is some GREAT fiction here!

Great news! One of my #BulletPoints authors, @aknighton.bsky.social, is publishing a novella set in the same universe as his story, "The Sound of War" (bulletpoints.nathantoronto.com/open-details...). Here's the announcement: andrewknighton.com/my-next-nove...

What?! He doesn't find his sister? But that's where he started!!!!

Enjoy the finale!

I wouldn't put it past them, but Bix would also be too obvious. And there's no other women in the right age range.

The story ends when the quest that began it ends.

Oh, that would be... something. LOL

I can't wait for the finale of #Andor, Season 2. Dedra Meero HAS to be Cassian Andor's sister. The story doesn't make sense otherwise, right Tony #Gilroy? The story ends where it begins!
