The Tarrant Tattler

The Tarrant Tattler All humans. All Tarrant citizens. No AI, no bots, no hidden agendas. Just hyperlocal news focused on finding the truth, even if it's not pretty.

Sometimes with humor. We used to be satire. Then we ended up publishing actual news. We think it's weird, too.

My name is Allen Pilkington and I have acquired the Tarrant Tattler.

My goal for this page is simple, I want to keep citizens informed of everything that is happening in Tarrant with coverage that is as even handed as possible.

This is a new Tattler that seeks to inform not only on what happens at city council meetings, but to shine light on community events, milestones and successes.

I couldn’t get a chance to serve my community via elected office, but I hope that I can turn the Tarrant Tattler into a positive outlet to serve our city into our shared future.

I understand that people may have feelings about the old Tattler, but my goal is to prove that our motivations are sound and in the interest for a better city for everyone that lives here

The new administration has been sworn in.
Tarrant will have exactly what it voted for.
Let it be for the better.

We congratulate everyone that won their seats in the municipal election.

We sincerely wish you the best in the upcoming term.

Understand though, that should you as representatives of our citizens behave or vote in opposition to things that benefit the people that live here, we will be there to call attention to you and drag you for it.

We’ve been here for the last 4 years and contrary to the fly-by-night operations that show up for election season, stir the pot, sling some mud, and disappear in the dark of the night after achieving their goals, we intend to be around for the next four years.

We will be watching your service with great interest.

Sincerely,
The Tarrant Tattler Staff

For a police chief that is supposedly a licensed attorney, Chief Major doesn't seem to either know or care about the law. It's blatantly illegal for him to campaign with anyone -- as he's also been seen doing with Tommy Bryant.

Of course, this is Tarrant, where the council people and the police chief don't care about the law unless it serves THEM.

Imitation is not always flattering. Especially when the copies are:
1. So very obviously using ChatGPT for their content.
2. The cartoons are also obvious AI. Ours were hand-drawn. We miss you, J. Coleman.
3. The "satire" isn't funny, or satirical. Or....anything resembling satire or even parody.
4. The "truths" spoken are as one-sided as carbon paper. There's fact, and then there's opinion. Truth is often found somewhere between what two people think or say.

--------
We may be in flux, but we'll never be single issue or one-sided. We try to be as neutral as possible, even though we care deeply about the community. We're still watching; and we are legion. There are lots of "tattles" that no one knows about, so we know about a lot of things.

-- The original, always imitated but never duplicated, Tarrant Tattler.

K....Bye.
