This afternoon, all Fulton County Libraries and The Varsity in Midtown announced they were closed due to water damage. There were also videos of water cascading through Invesco’s headquarters, areas of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and Lenox Square in Buckhead, and Puttshack in West Midtown, Steak…

It’s super common everywhere. There’s discussions about it every year on my neighborhood mailings lists here in the not frozen wilds of West Philly.
I really wish people would stop doing the whole, you can deduct it off your taxes, when 90% of the population doesn’t do it as its not worth it vs the standard.
THE..............clicks on the ads go click click click...
I voted for Healey and adore her, but she’s not our first woman governor. She’s our first elected woman governor. Jane Swift, a Republican and former Lt. Governor, took over as Governor from 2001 - 2003 after the previous governor, Cellucci, resigned to be a US Ambassador to Canada. To say she wasn’t popular would be…
I think there *is* a demographic who enjoy mocking stroke victims, right up until they or someone close to them suffer one, but they all vote Republican anyway.
Often I try to say something clever, but I’m skipping that this time. Fuck you, Oz, you worthless piece of shit. Get fucked back to New Jersey and never may we hear your name again outside of the beloved books and movie.
Yeah, but Canadians have things like “decency” and “respect”.
Good. Now he can fuck off back to Jersey and leave us alone.
Dianne Feinstein legitimately seems to have no idea what’s going on and anonymous sources have repeatedly stated her aides are basically propping her up Weekend at Bernies style and no one seems too perturbed about that.
Fellow MA voter. I knew she was replacing Baker, and to be honest, I am a registered D who voted for Baker in 2018, but proudly voted for Maura Healey this time around. I was happy to see the other D’s in the state senate and house do well, along with 3 of the 4 ballot questions passing. I’m sure to an extent you are…
If you don’t think that mocking a stroke victim appeals to a good number of voters, you haven't been paying attention. Cruelty is the point of basically every Republican policy position of the last 40 years.
Now playing
Boy oh boy is this reminiscent of the Federal election in Canada, in 1993. The Liberal candidate (Jean Chretien) has a partially paralyzed face due to a childhood illness, and the Conservative party ran an ad that appeared to mock it. Intentionally or not, that’s how almost everyone perceived it.
Well, let’s look at Herschel Walker. There’s a guy who’s clearly suffered a bunch of genuine irreversible brain damage via CTE (or maybe he was just always a moron) and he’s perfectly acceptable to the GOP.
Mass voter here too. Once the MA Republicans chose Diehl as their candidate, the race was over. All they needed to do was have another Charlie Baker-type moderate on the ballot to have a fighting chance and they couldn’t even do that. Instead we got a far-right, election-denying idiot whose biggest ambition was to get…
Yes! I’m 35 and have had a stroke (though no one can really tell me exactly when). I may sometimes forget a name, but so far I’ve been able to remember to be a decent fucking human being. I also don’t lie for personal gain, mislead people with crazy conspiracy theories, or think that 6 week old embryos look like kids…
Jane Swift was the first female Governor of MA. Yes... She completed Cellucci’s term and was therefore never elected to the governor’s office, but she did lead the state.
Dear ysu; thank you for the lovely invitation and message. Was Rooo banned, too? I think it is time to retire jinni, and it’s likely for the best. I’ll still lurk, though, and will always look out for you in particular.
You are always welcome at backtalkvillage.blogspot.com. Rooo is there, and it's basically just comments. Moderators post a couple times a day with conversation starters and we chat.
