Sometimes I make things louder. Sometimes I program the stuff you watch you watch on TV. I have cats. Grew up 💙in south Alabama, currently residing in the Waffle House kingdom.
I heart ATL. Mostly.
Seeing Sugar tonight at the Eastern, and while I am super stoked, I feel like Bob Mould owes me a personal apology for making me leave the house after 8pm.
We have confirmed that instagram accounts of key No Kings 4 orgs were shut down today during the NK4 event from between about 9:30 am until 3:15 pm, leaving key groups without the ability to report or share media content.
Tonight in Lochiel, AZ, Border Patrol agents tied the legs together of a person who protested the building of the border wall by tying themselves to the truck. Then they let the driver drive away with them tied to the truck. No word on their condition. www.instagram.com/rally.forthe...
🚨 Latest from the border wall blockade: tree sit is still up, one land defender is locked down to machinery, Border Patrol has wrapped a Mylar blanket around them and is running the truck and pumping the blanket full of exhaust to try to gas them out, potentially killing them.
A surprisingly powerful sentence is "Take your time."
To the cashier. The new employee. The person searching for the right words. The friend telling a difficult story.
Not rushing someone is a form of kindness we don't talk about enough. 🧡
"A typical 15-minute commute was projected to pass roughly 30 cameras. An alternate “privacy route” took nearly twice as long and still passed two known cameras."
So a camera every every 30 secs in the ATL?
Sounds about right.

Y'all ready to do some good this week?

I am confused about Ka$h's testimony that the FBI will no longer exclude "VICTIMS of bestiality".
Victims of bestiality tend to be animals, by definition.
Is the FBI now accepting applications from animals? Is this in reference to K9s?
I am so confused.
Every night I go to bed thinking I have seen the dumbest shit I’ll ever see in my life and every morning I am wrong before I’ve even finished my coffee
On this day in #History, September 2, 1864 – #Union forces entered #Atlanta, a day after the #Confederate defenders fled the city, ending the Atlanta Campaign. #OTD#civilwar#georgiaHistorygonewilder.com
WTF...police shot a baby donkey 😡
According to a Facebook post by Israel, HeeHaw emerged braying at the presence of strangers at Elsberry farm in Rockmart – and was shot dead by an officer who claimed he felt under threat.
You know when Wiley Coyote sets up an anvil to drop on Roadrunner, but something goes wrong and it lands on him instead? That's funny, not an argument for dropping anvils.
The predictable Discourse is starting and I'm going to take a strong stand here: you can both want to abolish ICE and laugh really, really hard at Milo Yiannopoulos getting arrested by ICE after a decade of stoking the ethnonationalist hatred that led us to this point
If you’re coming from Americatown, you just get on I-America and take the America St. exit, then make a left onto America Avenue and a right onto America Lane. Lake America is on the right, but if you come to America St. (the other one) you’ve gone too far.
Atlanta, West End Marta station. Two visible ICE agents dressed in black clothing with vests that read ICE TRO. Detaining a Black man of medium height, slight build, yellow jacket. Walking him towards the south entrance of the station. Accompanied by 1 APD.
So it seems that Karoline has gone all out for the Correspondents’ Dinner Two, Fashy Boogaloo, wearing the latest from Vogue’s 2026 Mennonite collection.
I'm wondering at what point we started expecting people to pull over for masked men in unmarked vehicles with no license plates, no lights n sirens, speeding down our streets, out of control, ramming cars, and firing into moving vehicles?
This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.
Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.
I did not watch the monstrosity at the White Trash House last night, as I grew up in Alabama and NW Georgia. Therefore, I know what a fight in the front yard of a trailer park looks like. And have seen it for free.
When the state says, you have free speech and assembly rights only in specific places where we allow you to have these rights, it effectively means you have no right to free speech and assembly.
Louder for those in the back. Law enforcement is NOT on your side. They are not your friends and even the courts have ruled that there is no "serve and protect".
I’ve followed this story for its absurdity and as an illustration of how police lie and bully the public they are supposed to protect. Only after national media attention do they withdraw a case of accusing a woman of something she can’t possibly have done… cbs12.com/news/local/f...
I’m not kidding whenever my answer to “how do you pay for it” is “take it from the cops”.
If you give everyone enough food, crime goes down. If crime goes down, then you can spend less on cops.
Cops exist downstream of problems. Keep doing this for every problem and you keep spending less on cops
So a man I work with just came in, outraged that a woman had cut him off in traffic. He proceeded to tell us all how he followed her, pulled in behind her, and told her "how dangerous" her driving was.

I am still furious about this. Furious with every person that was party to this conversation and said nothing. Furious with a man who absolutely refused to see that his behavior is a problem.

And he just kept doubling down. And doubling down. The fact that he never acknowledged how a strange man following her could be perceived told me all I needed to know.
And the two other men he was telling the story to just kept nodding in agreement with him, not once acknowledging the fact that a strange man following a woman he doesn't know is terrifying.

Dude. My dude... "That woman doesn't know you know. You followed a woman you don't know. You probably terrified her".
"She terrified me! I think she's mentally ill. If the police had seen what she'd done."

If you or someone you know operates a business that accepts EBT/SNAP, there are ways to help your fellow humans with warm food.
Resistance takes many forms, my friends.
The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.
My ex would threaten to burn the house down if I didn’t do what he wanted. Then he stood down when he realized he lived in the same house.
Today felt the same way.
