Leave it to State to run some Tecmo Bowl-ass offense because the players are too busy studying up on how to milk cows

I don’t even have to read the article. The answers are no, no and yes.

I looked, and behold, a pale horse, and the name of he who sat upon it was Microsoft, and vibes followed with him

It’s kind of fun watching a Fordham law professor have a total meltdown discovering the fact that there red and blue counties within red and blue states

God I hate the Yankees. “If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere” OK, Frank Sinatra, try making it in like Gadsden, Alabama and we’ll see which is harder

I’m confused, were people in New York just throwing their trash out of the tenement window like Jacob Riis days?

Not really sure if this is about Charlie Kirk or Cracker Barrel or the backlash to that Sydney Sweeney ad or what

Florida should drive Billy Napier to the Gainesville airport just so they can fire him on the tarmac.

Klingons have two hearts, three lungs and a backup spinal cord, I doubt pancreas function is an issue for them

People waxing nostalgic about a fucking Shell station four hours into a zoning meeting is the reason shit never gets done around here.

I have a Sunday deadline, and I am not entirely sure this planning commission meeting will be over by then.

TIL it isn’t “Lester wasn’t coming in a hurry with a fury …”

Enquiring minds want to know

Obvious retort: Dooley’s record is 32-41. Anyway, it’s interesting that the most popular politician in Georgia is implying that his party’s record on a national level under Trump is toxic to the swing voters that elected him.

So this is why Trump is pushing so hard for paper ballots

Bluesky: Trump had a bruise and there’s no golf on his schedule, he must be dead. Trump popping up at the Texas-Ohio State game:

All clear

Police are telling people to stay away from north campus for now, but it appears there was no shooter at the UGA library flagpole.com/featured/202...

Eastsiders: ICE can’t deport your firefighters if you don’t have a fire station

Salvation by works. Isn’t Trump supposed to be Presbyterian?

I’m old enough to remember when revolution meant, like, subscribing to Adbusters and maybe breaking a Starbucks window

I’m reminded of a Roy Barnes quip from when Obama got elected and Georgia Republicans were threatening to secede: “Don’t they know the Yankees have got the bomb?”

Two things I hear a lot from people who live in East Athens: It’s a food desert, and we need more youth programs. This project addresses both.

I just got back from a meeting about the hotel proposal for the president’s house, and y’all, if you think Boulevard NIMBYs are bad, @athenspoliticsnerd.bsky.social is at the commission meeting where people are complaining about a fire station and a community garden.

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵 An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

Seems like a very likely source, and I have questions about why these crypto bros have so many dildos on hand.

I knew a guy in high school in the ‘90s who had a birth defect, like he had one shriveled arm and used to make these Heil Hitler gestures with it, and we all thought it was an involuntary tic. Turned out his whole family was a bunch of Ruby Ridge-style doomsday prepper white supremacists.

Commissioner Dexter Fisher wants to organize all the local nonprofits to do one big “back to school bash” downtown for kids to pick up bags and school supplies. Which sounds great, except I keep hearing about how families and POC don’t feel welcome downtown and don’t leave their neighborhoods?

Lukasiewicz and her husband were the primary forces behind saving the Lyndon House and creating the arts center

Commissioner Ovita Thornton announced she’s running for re-election. She told people she wasn’t 4-5 years ago because COVID and George Floyd were “a freakin’ nightmare.” Then two DUI arrests. But she said she has unfinished business. “I feel like Nehemiah. I’m staying on the wall.”

The most Alabama thing I ever witnessed during my upbringing in Trussville was the cooks at the I-59 Waffle House (the good one, not the I-459 one) handling a domestic dispute where this redneck guy was yelling: BITCH I WILL TAKE YOU RIGHT BACK TO THE KARAOKE BAR WHERE I FOUND YOU

Since the discourse today is about masculinity, here’s what my dad taught me about being a man: Be honest, keep your word, own up to mistakes. Help people if you can. Stand up for yourself and others. Protect and provide for your family. Not necessarily monetarily. Marriage is a partnership.

Gen Z is something else. As an introvert myself, it’s incredible that someone who won’t just go to the store and ask for an application thinks they’re fit for retail with that level of anxiety. What is this person going to do if they get the job and have to speak to a customer?

Per our conversation yesterday @heavymetalhippie.bsky.social

Summing up today’s BlueSky discourse: If you could only have Ghislaine Maxwell deliver you one type of food for the rest of your life, would you keep Jerome Powell as fed chair?

Only real heads know about the Winn-Dixie store brand soda. The fried chicken also slaps.

Independent Voters Are Turning Against Trump. Here’s Why We’re No Longer Polling Independent Voters By AG Sulzberger @nytpitchbot.bsky.social

I asked Hunter S. Thompson and he muttered something about bat country and then shot himself into space in a cloud of mescaline

Within the next couple days MAGA will adopt Trump’s current stance that Epstein is a nothingburger. Have y’all been asleep for the past 10 years?

Tempting fate

I have to admit, even though there’s no difference between the leagues anymore I’m still ride or die for the National League. Like, for this one day Kyle Schwarber is my brother in arms and I would trust him with my life.

Four hours after it started, this commission meeting that really could’ve been an email is adjourned.

Now there’s static about engineering plans to fill the rock quarry by the airport with water and turn it into a reservoir. Apparently residents have been complaining about the mining company’s blasting damaging their homes. Which sucks and should be dealt with, but ….

Thornton, who frequently shows up late for commission meetings and leaves early, was upset that the headhunter ACC hired made her wait 45 minutes for a meeting.
