3/13 UPDATE: I'm told that the last day for AJC reporters who were laid off has passed. Among them was Ariel Hart, who reports on healthcare policy, continuing a trend of women/ POCs laid off.
Yes, the paper of record in the city where the CDC has its headquarters no longer has a health reporter.
Huh. So it's unclear who's funding this campaign to pay influencers to attack Kat Abughazaleh.
But the guy coordinating also has a company called Advocators AI, which just won an award for work for…Daniel Biss — her opponent.
One of the campaigns the company boasts about promotes trips to Israel.
Obvious attack on the First Amendment, and also--importantly--an attack on the second amendment
One asshole did a stupid thing, and the completely legal firearms owned by other protesters became evidence of domestic terrorism

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
My pic in the clear app is almost as insane as the old Lyft driver pic
happy Friday the 13th to all who celebrate
This is a difficult read but you should do it. 😟
Fuck Tommy Tuberville. Jesus Christ masks aren't slipping, they're just standing there naked screaming this shit
Nicole Kidman in her 1988 stage debut as Shelby in the first Australian production of Steel Magnolias looking into a fake mirror
Have you ever seen a picture of Nicole Kidman in her 1988 stage debut as Shelby in the first Australian production of Steel Magnolias? Well now you have.
this is a radical position but I believe that if you are a person of integrity you should not be using far right wing propaganda websites owned by sociopaths
For like one week after MBS was announced not only as a Group Stage location, but for the semi finals as well? I thought MARTA was going to get the kind of I-85 Rebuild treatment in the run up to the World Cup. What an absurd thought that was
The kicker here is 🤌.
When pressed as to why he, a 20-something with no experience in scholarly peer review or grant making, is qualified to summarily cancel fed gov't "DEI" contracts, he says a person who reads books & has life experience knows enough.
Oh really, which books?
"There were no books."
A man who was shot by Connecticut police last year and later died had to wait 10 extra minutes for another ambulance to arrive at the scene, after another officer having an anxiety attack took the first one.
saw the wonderful Ratboys at a packed Terminal West last night, saw them at a sold out EARL a couple years before that, and i guess what i’m saying is i’m goin anywhere this band is goin
NEW: DHS is requesting access to the government’s “most powerful people-finder system,” which contains the name, address, Social Security number, employer, and salary or wages of every employed person in the country — as well as sensitive information on children and domestic violence victims.
Schrödinger: okay, so there’s a cat in a box
Friend: right
Schrödinger: and because you can’t see in the box, the cat’s state is uncertain
Friend: oh! So it could be both eating a little snack and not eating a little snack!
Schrodinger: oooh, yeah. maybe should’ve gone with that.
I emailed some questions to Marchese, and he answered (I'll paste them in next). I won't quote him because I hadn't told him I'm a journalist, but suffice to say that he doubled down on this idea that liberals are to blame for fascism. They all think like that, because they are in a cult.
This is like the "young Irish fellow" who tried ice cream for the first time in 1851
Someone looking at a gravestone says "I miss you dad. I wish I got more time with you." The ground around the grave begins to shift. "Oh my god" says the speaker. A hand emerges from the dirt. A thin, bald man with a long protuberance of a nose, soaking wet, pulls himself from the dirt proclaiming "why yes, it is I, Wet Nude Steve. You've caught me while I've been out tunneling around, experiencing worm pleasures. One of my naughtiest indulgences. Perhaps you would like to explore with me?"
I Miss You Dad
The New York Times coverage of trans issues has repeatedly resulted in experts and others complaining that their words were twisted and misrepresented... but only those quoted from on trans supportive side have that complaint.
Coincidence or eliminationism? @billiejsweeney.bsky.social dives in.
‘Age Verification’ could force trans people to out themselves to use the internet
LMFAO SOMEONE MADE IT A REAL THING

Look I never had high expectations for this administration in the first place but I assumed they would be familiar enough with insider trading to know that you put the trades on *before* the market-moving headline pump and dump www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...
Everyone seems to have voiced their opinion on the Hawks' Magic City Night. Nobody bothered to invite the women in the industry into the discussion.
Here's my Q&A with NatsHoney, the president of Strippers United, who shared a much-needed perspective:

The "did you talk to my agent yet" line from his wife really sells the trailer for @benmckenzie.bsky.social's Everyone Is Lying to You for Money. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEXx...

"[the former DOGE employee–not the whistleblower] told another colleague, who refused to help him upload the data because of legal concerns, that he expected to receive a presidential pardon if his actions were deemed to be illegal."
WHEEEEEEEE!!!! Bad week for DOGE bros.
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens still hasn’t signed the city’s first contract with the union, almost 11 months after the collective bargaining agreement was struck.
The firefighter's union is now threatening legal action against the city unless Dickens signs the union contract by Friday.
I wrote about the NBA’s cancellation of the Hawks’ magic city night and what makes Atlanta different from everywhere else

coughing in ...the Border Security Working Group was run by sheriffs.
4 pages from the Challengers of the Unknown 1991 limited series: on the first 2 pages, three panels lead to a massive explosion on a mountain. at the bottom, there is a sequence of a robot walking forward, which has been running the entire issue, like a time bomb. on the next two, the explosion ripples like it's tearing into the page itself, as if it was glass, creating dozens of fractured panels, spiraling out in immense white space
on a whim i decided to check out the 1991 Challengers of the Unknown limited series and i gotta say, tim sale does some of his best panelling work ever in this little forgotten title.
