    🤔 At first glance, seems like these new tarriffs are gonna be more beneficial to one automaker in particular… coincidence?

    GA Republicans introduced a bill to give the State Election Board more power, including enforcing hand ballot counts, ruling on voter eligibility appeals, and leaving a voter accuracy group. Critics say it overreaches, while supporters argue it adds accountability. I call it voter suppression.

    Happy #caturday for those celebrating.

    🚨 Georgia residents: don’t fall for this Peach Pass scammer

    A text message claiming an outstanding toll payment is due with a suspicious phone number and link.

    Georgia SRTA never sends just a text message to collect unpaid tolls; you’ll get postal mail and emails as well. No one from Philippines would text you; you’d be asked to log in to your account, not click a link.

    DON’T FALL FOR IT!

    Putting 2 and 2 together, our favorite 🍊 🫏 thinks Canada will become the 51st state because of tarriffs

    So that’s where all this ‘Canada will be a state’ 🐂 💩 came from. He can’t keep a single congruent thought in his mind. He just read a cliff’s Note from the Wikipedia page and that’s that. 🤬

    A voicemail transcription displays a scam message about overdue back tax filings with two highlighted phone numbers.

    They got the wrong one today! Don’t fall for this!

    I didn’t even know this was a thing: Installed this Intel Arc A310 GPU to aid in transcoding and AI tasks but now my QNAP sees it as system memory. How does that even happen?! 64GB but let’s use the 4GB on the GPU instead. 😒 #homelab

    A statement from the Associated Press addresses restricted Oval Office access due to editorial disagreements with the Trump administration.

    That playbook being published is the reason I’m not freaking out. Quit pretending like you don’t know what’s coming next and prepare yourself.

    We are seeing Project 2025 unfold in real-time.

    (The dystopian humor in having AI summarize and keep track of this all II at lost on me either. 🤖)

    A phone screen displays a message about dismantling government services and imposing tariffs, with a focus on a Project 2025 document discussing the "Administrative State."Text outlines key aspects of Project 2025, including dismantling government services, immigration crackdowns, tariff policies, and shutting down the Department of Education.

    Wouldn’t be a winter storm in Atlanta if the power didn’t damn go out. Good thing I gassed up the RV beforehand. Time for some driveway camping.

    MARTA service still suspended at some stations after train derails on bridge

    …its a damn shame we’re squandering this literal gift of urbanity from the late 1970s like this. MARTA could be every bit as good as DC Metro, or better but all we do is complain when stuff like this happens, but use that to justify not fixing it. 🫤

    A news headline on the Des Moines Register website reports Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump in a final Iowa poll before Election Day. Hell is freezing over if this is true. Tonight’s [Des Moines Register](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/iowa-poll/2024/11/02/iowa-poll-kamala-harris-leads-donald-trump-2024-presidential-race/75354033007/) last poll shows Harris **AHEAD +2** over Trump. Is there a 🌊?

    I can say that I’ve had the opportunity to witness both a former president and a possible future president that share a similar background as myself, in the same place and time as myself.

    Two people (Harris and Obama) are standing on stage holding hands, surrounded by a crowd taking photos.
