What a moron. He’s saying he’s losing because voters have moved to Alabama from blue states, where they have public school. Absolute moron.

Proud to be Alabamian, proud to be unusual. Like Sun Ra, Juliette Hampton Morgan or Birmingham Batman.

This is how Alabama’s conservative media acknowledges that a) Trump has driven gas prices up 76 percent and b) Democrat Doug Jones wants to give you a tax break.

Teaching classes, editing galleys of a new book, running a literary contest. Not much room for anything else.

The Alabama GOP loves AI. The Alabama GOP loves the war in Iran. The Alabama GOP wants to end Social Security. Pass it on. And vote Democrat!

Meet Tommy Tuberville. He wants to get rid of your Social Security. He wants more AI datacenters in your community. He’s okay with boots on the ground in Iran. DO NOT MAKE HIM YOUR GOVERNOR, Alabama! Pass it on.

It’s amazing that, 19 years after Lionel Messi was photographed with an infant, Lamine Yamal was also photographed with an infant.

I should be harvesting tomatoes this week, but nature had other ideas. Next year I’m just going to plant a garden specifically for these guys to eat.

At the once and future Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Hoping for Haiti to come away with SOMETHING. A tie. One goal. Whatever they can take home.

Never forget: THEY work for US. Don’t let them tell you to be quiet. Don’t put up with it. WE are the boss.

Just got back to Alabama after a week in Canada. The main thing that strikes me is how there are vines all over everything. And of course we are one of the rainiest states in the Union. You have to leave and come back to realize you live in a jungle!

Asked my wife if she wanted jewelry for our 25th anniversary. She said she’d pick out stuff for herself. Then we hit every souvenir store in the Maritimes.

Evangelicals and exvangelicals should feel the most betrayed by this. As children, we were terrorized with stories of the Antichrist. And when this emerges… silence. Not a peep from evangelical leaders.

I ask you: how is this defined as either “Kid” or “Rock?”

It really is better if the economy crashes BEFORE artificial intelligence guts the workforce. Trump and Netanyahu are working every minute to make it happen.

I know most of you have left Twitter. This is how Twitter is treating people who post anti-war content this morning.

A Christmas present. Ace Hardware in Heflin closed years ago, but Ace brought the hat back for Season Five. I’d bet you anything that Fort McClellan gets a mention in this season. Hopper was in the Chemical Corps.

Wait, isn’t “room at the table for invaders” basically the first-Thanksgiving story we were all taught in school?

Every time “Princess Diaries” is on, I’m like, “I wonder how many basketballs this school loses in a week?” I mean, the fence ends like two feet above the backstop.

Alabama’s right-wing media have truly lost their minds. Here, a columnist praises Vlad the Impaler as a hero. “I hope to see Dracula in Heaven.”

Maybe you’ve heard of Jodorovsky’s “Tron.” How about Peyo’s “Game of Thrones?”

Trump’s tenure seems to be good for Russian egg farmers in Crimea who are heavily invested in crypto. The rest of us are paying more and getting less.

Many thanks to all of you who joined me in writing to city officials to keep the Pride float — although the real reason the city kept it was likely the legal one. Prior censure!
