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

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.

Same people that adamantly demand a distinction between rifles, shotguns and assault weapons want us to give Jackson a pass for “gas store.”

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.

On one hand, shocking to see empty seats at an SEC game. On the other hand, the home team is down by five TDs and it’s 94 degrees. 🤷‍♂️

One of my favorite pieces of WoSo content this year was Emma Hayes holding Sophie Wilson’s kid while Soph got in some work. “Your mum needs to work on tracking back,” coach said with a little smile.

I attended a townhall involving police and cameras. I don’t feel like C&Ping the whole thing, and I hate to send you back to the Zuck-verse, but… www.threads.com/share/_iJwnT...

On Tuesday, Cobb County Police held a townhall meeting and invited a rep from Flock. Some highlights:

Imagine being so desperate for the privilege of *paying* for a certain group of friends that you willingly wear a shirt and tie to a football game in 100-degree heat.

Sorry everyone. It was hot, I had to start moving my parents, I sat in traffic, and then I stopped by a brewery with exclusively “easy drinking” “session” beers on tap, excepting an absolutely mediocre stout that I drank before I could slink out undetected.

“My first duty is to represent the citizens of [x] in government. If in doing right by my constituents I need to reach across the aisle, I’ll do that. Otherwise, I have no obligation to work with my opposites, ever.” Free boilerplate for Dems. You’re welcome.

Felt it in Wyoming, too, especially after pointing out I’d lived in Wyoming longer than Liz Cheney and taking backlash for it.

And were it not for family I’d beat bricks the fuck out of here.

I am not *from* georgia. I own property here, my bikes are here, my family’s here, my books are here, but my grandparents were born elsewhere, therefore no one considers me “from” Georgia, least of all me.

She said she had a good time but I live too far away. Fair. I wouldn’t sit for hours in Atlanta traffic for me, either.

The bad news is I take rejection personally. The good news is I direct it all inward so you have nothing to worry about ma’am. I’ll just be on my fucking way.

I have a date tomorrow. The gap between “HI HELLO I LIKE YOU PLEASE LIKE ME” and “truly do not give half a damn” is a foot wide and a thousand feet deep.

“Americans are uniquely ill-equipped to deal with a crisis in which the most effective mitigation strategy is being moderately courteous.” Seen on twitter, April 2020.

That I turned over 100,000 miles in my car on 285 says so much about my Georgia experience.

Owing to 17 years of smalltown journalism involving high school sporting events, and teenage singers long on guts and short on talent, I make sure I’m in the loo or concessions for the anthem.

Bus parked outside Wheeler High that says “Trump 2028,” in case you wondered about respect for the constitution and setting an example or whatever.

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.

My 23yo Gary Fisher got a similar to yours tuneup/overhaul for $150 more than what I paid for it brand new… a little less than my last car payment in March. Good perspective.

Good piece. Also love that Sanchez stood up for Kylian Mbappe vs. the racist Paraguayan politician.

Never did hear an explanation for why the Dems would have “stolen” the presidential election but not Congressional, giving the most moderate, milquetoast D prez ever a recalcitrant R-dominated congress to oppose him on everything.
