They’re each other’s best friend
(also they do each have their own crates but just choose to cuddle)

😢😢
It’s such a great show, what a damn shame
GPB has announced a program realignment as part of a re-focus on its core mission as a public broadcaster. The organization has also announced that its daily show, @PoliticsGPB, will air its last show June 30. Read the release here. gpb.org/press-release/2023/0… @gpbnews
SO happy to see this happening!
Athens folks, your local paper is unionizing! Go support them!
The reporters of the Athens Banner-Herald and the Savannah Morning News now join the @newsguild, and it is our hope that through collective action we can begin working to build a better local news infrastructure for the communities we serve.
The conservative parent mindset: how bout we go a step further than arming teachers with guns and also let elementary kids carry knives.
Every since I started working from home, I’ve found coffee shops help me focus. The change of scenery from my house is almost like going into an office and sparks something productive in me

“bone missing”
A baseball card collection reportedly worth $75,000 has bone missing in Bishop. onlineathens.com/story/news/…
Buried the lede a bit imo:
“In a statement to Classic City News after her arrest, Thornton said that “intoxication was not a factor” in the accident and that she was working with her attorney “to correct the DUI charge.”

It’s such a bold claim and either way, the implications are pretty bad
Option A: Ovita is straight up lying about a DUI
Option B: ACCPD really messed up, leading to more questions of how, why, and has this happened to other people
I’d sure wanna know which option is the truth
I learned today I should probably delete all the phone contacts I built up in journalism, lest I want to accidentally text another state rep a Reddit link again
I just have a weird attachment to all these (now useless) phone contacts, I have the #’s of the most random people
My second ever attempt at macarons went better than the first attempt so I guess that’s all I could’ve asked for
Rail workers: hey we’re going to strike bc of unsafe conditions, bad benefits, & overworking that could lead accidents if things aren’t fixed
Conspiracist: Wow there are these trains derailing 😲this is so unprecedented 🤔it a MUST be a coordinated attack and no other reason 🥱
JUST IN: Another train has DERAILED in #Michigan that was carrying hazardous materials.
What is going on? This seems like a coordinated attack on our railway system across the country.
I’ve noticed it’s in key battleground election states too.
Ohio, Arizona, Michigan, Texas.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

There are over 1000 train derailments on average per year. Even considering that some single derailments are reported twice, that still is an average of a minimum of 2 per day.

is “no one talking about it” or did a local paper cover it and you didn’t read the story
