Scene report from the free state

Take it from me and get lipid tests and a cardiac calcium test sooner rather than later. Lipid should be covered by annual checkup insurance coverage and the calcium test might cost you $100 if insurance won't. If you get tested early you can find out what you need without a heart attack. Glad I did

It is a sin to make this an automatic. Beautiful restoration otherwise.

Criminal.

I can go visit graves of my ancestors going directly back 5 generations within just a few miles from my home. There are so many tiny graves near them all. Aunts and uncles and cousins who never had a chance to live.

It would kill all non northeastern Amtrak and that's exactly what the author of the quoted article wants. You can tell that both by his argument but mostly by his wingnut welfare affiliations.

"this idiotic magazine writer is my friend so I'll at most make a light joke about his reactionary nonsense" is a thing about the sports media writer crowd here that could be better.

What to do in Carthage, MS? Leave.

Our little exurb has somehow picked up a french bakery and bistro and there's a very earnest kid playing piano and singing Burt Bacharach and that's delightful.

I realized this when Dreher lost his sinecure at that paleocon magazine and when an old friend of mine failed to make it in movement conservatism. He'd like to believe he was too honest to make it and went never trump. True to a degree but it's also that he lacked a patron. Had no sales mentality.

Trying to report to a national burger chain a software bug that's obviously a backend problem and not something with the phone application. Maybe that I reproduced it via their website ordering with screenshots will help. This is the most first world problem ever, having free points that won't work.

Birmingham people: anyone want 2 free tickets to the Barons game tonight? We can't make it. It's cheap beer night if that's enticing.

Did my part, at least an initial one, a bill plus fees. I never come up with a gag number and always give under the protect trans kids group instead of a school because it's not as if I attended Alabama and Birmingham-Southern doesn't exist any longer. Run up the score y'all.

Early 90s: EMF's "Unbelievable" Late 90s: The rap rock version of "All About The Benjamins" that Tommy Stinson, Dave Grohl, and Rob Zombie were on.

i think we’re up to 11/18 gumbos. gumbo madness is setting in

Might die from too much gumbo

First thirsty Thursday of the season, domestic tallboys holding out under $3 yet another year.

Probably not but also no one around here likes to hear we pay below average power rates especially those in the true heartland of American infrastructural state capacity, the Tennessee Valley Authority 🫡. We just have very humid summers, occasionally cold winters, and poorly insulated housing stock.

I can't find anything online about a pink Guardians city connect jersey but I want one. Maybe was a giveaway at the stadium?

Jackson, Mississippi for me, found it quite pleasant and the people lovely. Also glad that both Birminghams, especially the Alabama one, showed the fellow Nicholas who started this prompt its best.

As mostly a lurker here is my evergreen example, re bsky dying posts. Hoping that hiding the original post that caused this round will hide it from me. Maybe mutes on "bsky|bluesky dying"

I'm stuck here now. I do enjoy how all you can see of the Corrosion of Conformity shirt is the word "lust"

Guy at one end of our street has been a flag pole for his Trump flag guy since the first term but had changed it to a similarly styled "Jesus-Our Only Hope" one which was interesting but not too odd. Today it's an old "Trump 2024-Do You Miss Me Yet?" which is saying something even different? Maybe?

春は華やかな気持ちになります。がんぼるぞい。 translation: Spring makes me feel cheerful.

Basketball fashion reviews: wouldn't or couldn't personally pull off wearing Nate Oats' coat but it's at least more interesting than the quarterzip from Michigan's coach.

I'm still mildly bitter about not making "honor roll" in elementary school because of my abysmal handwriting. I think it's dumb but the way people write or not in Pennsylvania is none of my business really. Might even be good politics. Not here, obviously, as the topic of discussion, but generally.

I want to say Birmingham is Atlanta but somewhere in my heart is the fear it might be Nashville.

"Alabama Life & Culture"

Love the "food your grandmother would recognize" thing because one of mine was born in 1917 England and was basically born into WW1 food rationing and then spent her early adulthood on the southeast coast dodging V2s with more food rationing for WW2. She was a limited cook you might say.

Before I block you and report you for the crackpot spam you're sending, I want to make sure the notification hits. You are an evil fool and a sucker and I hope nothing happens positively for you for the rest of time and everything good turns to ash in your mouth. All the hate you receive is earned.

My great grandfather built the first electric generating system for DeBardeleben Coal when Sipsey was founded. In townsusa style it's pulling nearby geographically of Birmingam, there's approximately nothing to see in Sipsey the town. The namesake river fork and part of national forest is lovely.

The captured water works board did a Friday afternoon news dump of the decision to remove fluoride from the water. caw-al.gov/central-alab...

The Woke Ginger 🤝 Alabama Republicans over George Soros.

Sam Antonacci, a Birmingham Baron that's playing for Team Italy just took Team USA to the yard!

YOU GUYS ALABAMAS GOVERNOR COMMUTED SONNY BURTON’S SENTENCE open.substack.com/pub/treadbyl...

Alabama locals will enjoy the most Walker County question ever asked, everyone else can enjoy "that flea market where the old snake farm used to be."

are you ten+ posts deep fighting with an account that's got 30 followers and only retweets or gets in fights over the same thing over and over in someone's replies? you should stop! just my opinion.

The state is issuing bonds to pay for the feds to move "space force" here?

Bsky feed was about 25 seconds ahead of my peacock feed. All of a sudden a bunch of all caps one word posts.

This new skiing thing seems intense! Which is implied I guess but this one seems more miserable than the others.

That "For You" feed is usually good until everyone has to make a slight restatement of the same post except even less funny. Excuse me, a "riff." As always y'all keep saying you don't want to talk about the thing you obsessively have posted about for at least three days since one guy annoyed you.

Alabama government will dare defend its rights to shoot itself in the foot.

I know when I'm sick of hearing about a topic that posting about it multiple times is not what I would do. I don't believe it when y'all say it because you wouldn't be quote tweeting someone 12 hours after it was originally posted.

feature request: hide post for me should hide retweets of the post. and, evergreen: timed mutes of accounts.

the government would never leak to a guy you find annoying

the middle aged maoist line cooks on instagram think we don't blame the government enough for our problems and you know fair cop on that probably even if they're kind of annoying sometimes.

The rare good prompt post! Off the top of my head: Victory of Flight by Twelve Hour Turn has the best recorded snare sound ever, Modest Mouse's Lonesome Crowded West, pick a Janet Weiss Sleater Kinney record but probably The Woods, Unwound's Leaves Turn Inside You.

This election truther nut is going to be at my local public library this week. I don't think I'll make it.
