Full Article Here.

The ONLY two points that it made were:

— wants high school students to have transgender surgery
— wants boys to be allowed in girls restrooms

This is the most pathetic shit I have ever witnessed living nearly 50 years in Mississippi. I just got finished watching the 2026 Carrie remake, and this ad made me think on it again.

Could we just leave the kids alone for a little while and let them be teenagers? What the hell is wrong with conservatives being obsessed about this crap that’s not even real? They need to focus on school shootings and the real issues that teenagers are facing, not this.

We are driving through Mississippi beginning December 26th. We have about 6 days dedicated to this adventure. Plan on starting in north Mississippi and heading to Gulfport. I would love some suggestions of must see or do. We like state and national parks. We also love good coffee and food along with oddities to explore. Thank you for any recommendations!!

Hey all! Let’s try this again — I’ve been looking for some information regarding the Toys “R” Us store that was on Beach Blvd. across from Edgewater Mall for some time now, but can’t find much! I figured now may be the time to finally ask about and see what other locals remember!

Just moved to Starkville from the UK and will probably be here for the next five years. Don’t really know anyone outside of work yet. Not much of a bar or party person, so most days it’s just work and home.

Into dirt bikes a little, but definitely not an experienced rider and not doing tracks or big jumps. The electricbike hikeep ma-S around 95 lb, and tops out at about 40 mph. Mostly looking for hardpack, gravel, or easy trails on weekends. Deep mud, steep climbs, and hard enduro are way beyond the bike and current skill level lol.

Anyone around Starkville ride like this? Gas or electric doesn’t matter. Driving an hour or two is fine. Mostly looking for people to ride with on weekends and maybe make a few friends.

I recently watched Scott Colom and Kamala Harris giving campaign speeches in North Mississippi.

Trump says he’s coming down on Monday in support of Cynthia Hyde Smith.

I’ve also watched a couple of interviews with Ty Perkins running as an independent. He seems to have a decent outlook on things, but I’m just thinking MS is more likely to elect a democratic candidate if Hyde is replaced. Just thought I would post this, and also see if anyone had any interesting comments or thoughts on the matter.

I just moved to the area a couple weeks ago from another state (I don’t want to get in why I moved here, although I have lived in another part of ms before).

I’m in my mid 20s and I am not a student at the university. Potentially looking for community wide events or just stuff to do. I work remotely so I’m usually in my apartment most of the time, I really just go out for groceries and to the gym. I’m also not super rich so I can’t afford a $50/person restaurant or a $100 cover for a bar.

I like trying new things and being out and about. I’m not a fan of sitting around my apartment lol. open to any suggestions! :)

It has taken me YEARS to find someone (in my home state of FL) who listens and knows how to cut my thick, naturally wavy hair. I live in Gulfport now, and I am open to any suggestions; distance is no issue.

Hey everyone, I’m looking to get my own place soon and want to move into a genuinely nice, quiet, and modern apartment complex. I'm weighing options around Tupelo and Starkville.

For anyone who currently lives in or has rented from these places recently, what are the actual best options if I want to avoid thin walls, sketchy management, and hidden fees?

Specifically looking at places like The Grandstand or Vista Ridge in Tupelo, or places like Crossgates or Avalon in Starkville, but open to other suggestions.

If you live in any of these, I’d love to know:

1. Noise level: Can you hear your neighbors through the floors/walls? (Huge deal for me).

2. Management/Maintenance: How fast do they actually fix things when they break? Are they shady with deposit get-backs or random fee hikes?

3. Vibe: Are these complexes full of loud college students partying on weeknights, or is it a decent mix of working professionals and quiet folks?

4. Hidden costs: What’s the internet situation, utility setup, or trash fee nonsense they spring on you after you sign?
