Kendra Licari of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, is facing charges after allegedly sending hateful messages to teenage students, including her daughter, under fake names on the Internet. Per Good Morning America, “The shocking charges come after a yearlong investigation into a complaint filed by Beal City Public Schools after Licari’s teenage daughter and her boyfriend reported getting harassing messages.”

The 42-year-old woman allegedly used software to hide her location and used several numbers and area codes, even allegedly trying to pin the origin of the messages as coming from her daughter’s classmates. When confronted with the evidence, Licari admitted the messages were sent by her.

Matty Healy has had quite the tour. Besides headlining a raucous Twisted Xmas event, Healy has consumed raw meat on stage, got a tattoo on stage, and now has continued his trend of kissing people on stage, this time giving a lucky fan her first kiss.

Healy checked a woman’s ID in Minneapolis before planting a smooch on her. Haters, losers, and dorks have criticized The 1975 frontman for his theatrics, but we don’t think there’s anything sexier than making sure that everyone is of age before making a move on them.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot is defending her decision to encrypt police radio transmissions, a move that will block the public from listening in real time. Lightfoot has faced intense scrutiny from media organizations who rely on these transmissions to do their job. They’ve also raised concerns over civilian safety in times of crisis.

Lightfoot has defended her decision by using Fast & Furious logic, noting, “If it’s unencrypted and there’s access, there’s no way to control criminals who are also gonna get access, listen in and adjust their criminal behavior in response to the information that’s being communicated.”

A media coalition has asked to meet with Lightfoot in person numerous times to discuss this issue. Lightfoot has rejected these requests.

Brian & Justin’s on-the-ground city hall reporter has noted that Lightfoot is irate with them reading the Chicago Police Scanner on Monday’s and is looking for a way to make her city look less embarrassing.

If you thought your kid was special, he’s not. Jeremiah Johnson, a supposed 12-year-old from Fort Worth, Texas, however, is special. Johnson has gone viral for having a mustache, being nearly 6 feet tall, and still only being 12-years-old, allegedly. The athlete became a viral sensation after a photo of him sporting what appeared to be facial hair and a tattoo surfaced on social media following the 2022 Youth National Championships over the weekend in Miami, where he was crowned MVP.

His mother took to Facebook to say, “Before I lay down I just want y’all to know…. my baby going viral. These folks is going in… SO…. Yes he’s on 12U (he meets ALL of the requirements. No the tattoo isn’t real (duh). Yes the goatee is tho.”

Initially scheduled to take five years and cost $535 million, we are eight years and $793 million deep into construction on the Jane Byrd Interchange, but things are finally coming to an end. According to officials, all four lanes on the interchange are now open. New changes include two northbound Kennedy entrance ramps from Adams to Jackson Streets, as well as wider ramps from eastbound I-290 onto the Kennedy and Dan Ryan Expressway. Only two construction projects are still outstanding.

Optimists claim that this construction will bring a 50% reduction in motorist delays.
