@Austen @franklinleonard If only he had gotten a lambda education!!!!

@franklinleonard I think the tweet went over your head

Absolutely wild to have just figured this out.

@JFergusonAU It’s just true that fan sentiment in the moment often does not match fan sentiment in the future

there is absolutely zero limit to how much the people in charge will take y’all for granted

@BigMeanInternet people have been using medicine for chronic conditions for a long time, to the extent “medicine” and “chronic condition” are concepts that exist outside of this specific time and place

People reacting to this like "Duh, drugs only work when you take them" are taking the relatively recent shift of medicine toward the management of chronic conditions for granted

@IamKingWilliams They think they’re going to fix it all! Traffic, sidewalks, sun, all things I think in the CITY’S self-conception are priorities that will get fixed BECAUSE they are outside of the intown hot spots. No word on whether this extremely backwards thinking will work out this time.

These new routes, especially outside of the intown hot spots are worse… No seating, no visible signage, no covering, no factor on safety or wheelchair / stroller accessible No factoring in things like traffic, sidewalks, sun, accident frequency or walk time / experience

I’ve seen a lot of people on here celebrate @MARTAtransit’s new route changes in a numbers not people kinda way But from what I’ve seen IRL it’s become a worst experience and not user friendly. This will probably longterm cause users to stop riding

The main water bad guy in water turned out to be politically untouchable farmers, then when I went to land use it turned out to be hmmm farmers again, and now that I'm in air pollution the main villains appear to be oh my goodness

growing up there was a cody in every elementary school class but as an adult i haven't met a cody in years. where did they go

@atlurbanist Right. Are you really going to drive 40 minutes to Other Suburb on your special not-Marietta night?

@igorbabywizzus Oh that's an interesting point. Yeah if you're in Marietta, a restaurant in Norcross is probably about as far as one in Midtown.

This is a serious, non-judgemental question because I really don't know: is there a lack of great restaurants in the Atlanta suburbs? I see so many people driving into the city for dining and I was under the assumption that suburbanites didn't need to do that anymore.

Next time you watch Mr Bean, pay attention to his actions

@AppyBeard @four4thefire And the people who don’t tip are always the rudest too

@four4thefire and yet can’t be bothered to tip their dashers even w: gas @ $4.59/gal. ask me how i know

The human interest stories of folks going bankrupt because they cant stop overpaying for food delivery is going to be legion

Been saying this!

@StraightShootrr @efagirard @RodDMartin No offense you sound dumb as fuck

@efagirard @RodDMartin You’re such a tool if you believe the north didn’t do the exact same thing. In fact the north kept their slaves for up to 2 years after the war ended. It wasn’t even about slavery..Lincoln was going to deport the slaves to panama. It was about a 72% tax rate L forced on the south

Everyone loves asking: “If Grant was such a great general, how come he lost nearly every battle to Lee and suffered way more casualties?” Robert E. Lee himself had a very different answer. “I have carefully searched the military records of both ancient and modern history, and have never found Grant’s superior as a general. I doubt his superior can be found in all history.” — Robert E. Lee The entire question is built on two flat-out falsehoods. First: Grant didn’t “lose nearly every battle.” There was essentially ONE continuous campaign — from the Wilderness in May 1864 straight through to Appomattox in April 1865. Grant seized the initiative in the very first clash and never gave it back. Lee spent the rest of the war reacting to Grant’s moves. When Lee attacked in the Wilderness hoping the old forests and bogs would save him (like they always had), Grant didn’t retreat north like every previous Union commander. He simply disengaged, slid south, and flanked Lee again. Lee never dictated the terms of battle after that day. James Longstreet had tried to warn the Army of Northern Virginia: “We’ve never faced anyone like this man.” They didn’t listen. They learned fast. Second: The casualty comparison ignores that Lee was almost always the defender. Context matters. But the deeper truth is bigger than any single clash. Lee still fought war the old way — disconnected battles, win-loss record like a sports season. Grant fought the next war: coordinated campaigns across multiple theaters, using railroads, telegraph, navy, and engineers to keep relentless pressure until the enemy simply could not continue. Grant didn’t win by accident. He made contact and maintained it until victory was inevitable. Lee fought the last war. Grant wrote the blueprint for the next one. That’s why he was great. That's why he won. Change your mind yet? Drop your hottest take on Grant vs. Lee below. 🔥

@TheStalwart @nazzobetweeting Always strange to me how people will ride the trains without hesitation but not even consider a bus trip. something in the culture

@nazzobetweeting You should check and see. There might be a bus route for you with no changeovers. I ride the bus every day and I find it to be dependable.

yup. no notes.

@captgouda24 Gonna be hard to find reporters on the economy when they’re all busy trying to get into AEA!

It boggles the mind how someone can be a reporter on the economy and not be an expert in econometric methods and causal reasoning. The single most important part of your job should be to guide the reader past nonsense and toward good work. And yet!

whoever named the amoeba knocked it out of the park, that’s what that thing is

@royfrompluto @CardmeisterGuy I know this is not what OP meant but there is also west end and bankhead!

to Krog street tunnel, it's ~16 minute walk from King Memorial or Inman Park stations. In most 'walkable' cities that's a reasonable distance. In NYC people regularly walk 30 mins to and from transit but in atlanta people don't perceive that as reasonable

@Maharajin_ @UnHylian @oh2ny2nj @relientkenny For one thing — they don’t exist

@igorbabywizzus @UnHylian @oh2ny2nj @relientkenny Are there Haitian gangs in FL? Black & Mexican gangs in LA? Do Chinese and Russian gangs exist? Bet you don’t baulk when you hear about those, but as soon as the topic is Jewish gangs you clutch your pearls.

you about to go down a long ass rabbit hole and realize why the allegations happened and also why they eventually murdered him

@Maharajin_ @UnHylian @oh2ny2nj @relientkenny Your type has been around for 2000 years. Always getting angry at the Jews for working hard and making something of themselves. Stop blaming them for your problems!

@Maharajin_ @UnHylian @oh2ny2nj @relientkenny you’re just… saying shit the Jewish mafia? Do you experience the world as we all do, or is everything much more fuzzy for you around the edges?
