The duality of “inside the Perimeter“ versus “outside the Perimeter” of the metro Atlanta area.

When they ask what was the peak of 2026, we can safely point to this.

A question on AskReddit that asks: ugly people, are you afraid that your kids will look like you, and if so why did you have them anyways?

Keep trying! Sometimes extra tickets get released. I think it’s with two door cinema club, who are fun. The crowd surfing astronauts are worth it. I’m in this crowd funny enough

another example: if I want to go to the Publix at Greenwood and Gallatin I have to hop on the 4 and then transfer to the 56 for a store that is 2.8 miles away from me. Then to come home I have to get on the 56 and transfer to the 4. That's too much friction in my opinion.

But then we can’t have works of art like this gem of a hack job. Single trunk, and they carved a tree limb valley for the cable.

Actually, this may be the best. The guy who drove me around hyped up the riders to hit the water hard knowing I was right there. We got a full send here. #gravelcycling #tennessee #cycling #photography

I wasn’t aware sidewalks could double as a fedex loading zone. I guess you can do anything in a truck these days. #nashville

Gonna be inside all day with an ice storm. What should I read?

Four books:

The notebook - a history of thinking on paper

Three roads to Gettysburg

Agains the machine - on the unmaking of humanity

On hallowed ground - the story of Arlington national cemetery

did I get inspired by a comment here (as well as being constantly frustrated by this city)? absolutely. Will I be deploying this to a real live web server? maybe.

Thank you! It’s taken a hit to get it to where we want it but it’s a vibe. This is the whole area.

So I talked about losing weight last week. To hold myself accountable and also to celebrate, I finally am below 290. It’s been a huge struggle so I am so damn happy and proud. Now on to the next goal. I’ll have more updates as I hit lifting PRs and weight goals.

this may be the dumbest headline I've ever read.

The incredibly vain reason I’m counting calories and lifting is so I can get myself back to a shape I can wear my favorite tech t-shirt. It’s hidden in my closet for years and it’s time to get it back out. #weightloss #twilio

Almost half way done. Incredible book. The way Lincoln navigated the election of 1860 is a true masterpiece. This, coupled with U.S. Grant’s memoirs, paints a complete picture of the war and how it was managed (and mismanaged).

Book haul this weekend (so far). Not sure if I should start either of these over “Team Of Rivals” by Doris Kearns Goodwin

This is like the fourth downed branch we’ve had to deal with in the little over 3 years of being in this house. This just happened about 30 minutes or so ago. I guess a positive are my noise cancelling headphones are really good I’m tired boss. I’m so tired.

Someone should check on Maureen Dowd.

An article in The NY Times written by Maureen dowd who titled the piece “Donald the dove, Hillary the hawk” creating distance between the two candidates in 2016.

Respectfully, there’s no need to think if it’s true, it’s factual. I can’t tell you the last time I saw the TNDP part do something and I went “hell yea”. It should be burned to the ground and start fresh. This meme gets way too much use in my family text chats.
