Hunter Gaddis loading them up with 2 outs already seems oh nevermind as I was typing he hit another batter to walk in a run.

Seems more likely it will raise the price of dyed diesel.

This one is so wild because any of a number of insane conspiracy theories easily take root in Alabama but I would not suggest anyone try this one here.

Seeing a football on ESPN commercial with Stavros Halkias and not like a barstool (or worse) type seems like some good if small evidence of a cultural narrative change.

This seems sensible to let them back in but it's still weird that you can just opt out of parts of the social contract in the first place. My grandmother loved Jesus and worked for the SSA, there's no conflict there worthy of opting out.

Got an email from the soon to be leaving executive director at WBHM, the city's local NPR affiliate, letting listeners know that because of Kay Ivey's signature on a bill that they are required to say "Gulf of America" in any communication. As UAB employees anything said is "official communication."

Finally got around to putting something up on my domain other than a 9 year stale github blog. Did the giant nerd thing and setup an ATProto PDS for it too.

Damn, he was a good guy. It was cool to see those dudes on the way up, being next door to Florida meant all those pop punk and third wave bands were in Alabama all the time as they were getting started.

Got one of those non alcoholic aperitif bottles on a discount and it is admittedly very tasty up with some san pellegrino and a dash of bitters but it should not be that much more expensive than a bottle of campari or aperol.

god y'all argue about weird shit on here sometimes

The conspiracy theory I most believe is that the 2002 election was stolen from Siegelman and it was because he had Bill Clinton without the baggage potential. Used to run into him and family outside Surin West before they opened for dinners post governorship, pre prison sentence, nice people overall

Tuberville campaign has bought up huge blocks of ads on out of market sports streaming. On repeat for Tigers/Rockies, Guards/Twins on MLBtv and Vandy/Delaware on ESPN+. The ad is very dull, cut taxes , "do more with less," no Trump or deportations or Islam. Haven't seen it anywhere else much.

Newest Darkest Hour single is fine I guess. I don't know how long you can keep biting Slaughter of the Soul but it's at least 30 years now. I saw them on what had to be one of their first tours supporting Damnation AD in 1996 with a somewhat fresh driver's license and now I'm old as hell.

Very near the veterinary office we use for the critters is a small billboard that says "Kids Need Chiropractic Too" and it makes my blood run cold. You want to go to a quack and risk a stroke as an adult, fine, but leave kids out of it.

Cattle rancher influencer accounts have been melting down online all weekend learning that the general public is not pleased with anyone they think has been has backed Trump. BasedTradCowMomma has been met in their comments by extremely motivated suburban liberals and is not taking it well.

Merely posting the lyrics to "Rappin' Duke" and nothing else and causing a multiple day meltdown is quality work by Jack White, someone I find fair to middling in many ways. I refuse to listen to a "satanic doo wop" act because it is too corny to contemplate.

I turned 46 this year and heard too many stories and knew too many people going through it that I had mine and got a clean bill. I can't tell you how relieving it was to get good news considering the time I previously started down a medical diagnostic path it ended with open heart surgery.

Book of the New Sun but I'm not even close to qualified and I don't know if anyone that is could pull it off. Plus 7 seasons, maybe the whole solar cycle? I haven't read Long Sun but it could work from what I've read of the details.

Can't wait for the sportswriter clique to ignore the tyler harper "I quit because of woke" piece because he hosts a podcast with a guy they like

huh the guy whose account is named for a functional programming language is kinda unpleasant who would have thought

The Carmike 10 was the spot to go with more comfortable seats than other theaters pre "stadium seating" days when it was a first run place. Next to the dearly missed Chinese restaurant Formosa who did not survive the pandemic.

I guess he's Gardendale's most famous graduate now. Wonder what the substance was, guessing ADHD meds based on statement it was for a condition diagnosed in college. Outside shot it's a heart thing for beta blockers.

Muting the word "grocery" for the week so I can maybe see a post about something else. Goddamn all y'all are annoying.

I always enjoy it when someone I've loathed on the internet for mostly petty reasons for years shows others why I dislike them. Anyway, there's an "OG blogger" out there showing his ass today and it's good to see people learn what I've known for literal decades.

I know guy-you-met-via-a-subculture has mildly insane views is nothing new but the fence walking/"apolitical" type I keep in touch with's local line on data centers is that they are bad but not because they're for AI but for Flock cameras and I'm just glad he's not quite as nuts as he used to be.

There's a 16 or 17 artist deep ska festival this weekend in Birmingham and I have to wonder how many attendees could there be not in one of the bands? Yes, it's called Skalabama.

I think it sounds like a normal fine dining menu from 2016 and that miso grits is a good idea.

Only thought on Silo S3 so far is that it's kind of impressive that Common could get worse at acting over the season gap.

This will mean nothing to people not aware the parts of the greater Birmingham area but this surely is the first weather warning to include Tarrant and Indian Springs Village in the same one.

sometimes a few sports media types can go a little too hard on reply guys. like there's those with malice and those with awkwardness and the latter could use a little grace considering you can limit replies in a number of ways.
