EDS: Sub second sentence with “loss to Indiana in the semifinal” sted “win over East Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl.”

Dave’s not here @writesdave.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

It’s okay, Alabama. After your win over East Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl, the 83yo sports editor at the Marengo County Times will write a 2,000-word column declaring the Tide “the greatest team in all the land,” and you can thus claim your 33rd national championship.

The Braves snarl traffic and drive up my property taxes (indirectly anyway, as Cobb County does that to make up for the tax breaks given to the Braves). Anyway, must-read upcoming.

Shoutout to the dickbag driving a golf cart on the 18th at Pinetree CC in kennesaw, Ga., around 6:35p today. I saw you pick up your ball and keep driving. May you never get rid of your slice, and may you catch VD from your mistress.

With one week to go before midterms, Georgians need to ask why a billionaire healthcare executive with no medical expertise, a worshipful reverence for Donald Trump and significant investments in data centers wants to be Georgia’s governor.

Today the president will appear at a majority non-white high school in suburban Atlanta, ostensibly to pimp his namebranded savings accounts. However, GOP candidates/lackeys for governor and senator will appear/stump with him, so draw whatever conclusions you want about the true nature of the event.

I like how FIFA says "this is in line with Article 27 of our disciplinary code" and you expect it to be something about the specific reasons when they can undo improper VAR decisions or a review of the specific play but its just "we can undo suspensions if we decide to undo suspensions" lmao

SUSPENSION OF IMPLEMENTATION OF DISCIPLINARY
MEASURES
1. The judicial body may decide to fully or partially suspend the implementation of
a disciplinary measure.
2. By suspending the implementation of the sanction, the judicial body subjects the
person sanctioned to a probationary period of one to four years.
3. If the person benefiting from a suspended sanction commits another infringement
of a similar nature and gravity during the probationary period, the suspension shall
be revoked by the judicial body and the sanction enforced without prejudice to
any additional sanction imposed for the new infringement.
4. Disciplinary measures relating to match manipulation cannot be suspende

Look I went to the Democratic caucus in Pueblo, Colorado this year--a party faithful event that is so arcane that people don't even know it happens and exists. These ARE the people who knock doors. These are the volunteers. Anyway, so many of them were upset with the Democratic Party.

In the mid-2010s, Cobb County’s commissioners approved the Braves ballpark 4-1 around 24 hours after they produced a 500-page plan for the stadium and its surroundings. Each of the four approving commissioners lost their next election. It can be done.
