My wokest opinion is that futures trading shouldn’t be legal for any trader. If you don’t believe in a stock, divest, and let the price fall. The bets and counterbets are just weird gambles that reward the risk-addled rich and periodically screw over our economy.

That's a wrap on this 6.5 hour marathon council meeting.

If you've made it this far, I want to remind you that now through Dec. 31, NewsMatch will meet any new monthly donations 12x. That means if you throw us $5 a month, NewsMatch will toss in an extra $60.

Spotted on the Path: a child, maybe 3, in a rear bike seat, his tiny arms stretched king-of-the-world style, as his father pedaled forward through the perfect fall day 💛

flock cameras are in nearly every city in the country now and Atlanta police were using them for immigration searches. this is the model -- once the surveillance grid exists it can be turned on anyone

This beautiful image features a train going past buildings that have stores at the bottom, with trees and other greenery nearby, and with people walking on a path alongside the tracks (and public seating too!). 😍

Atlanta can do this.

While I was playing around videoing airplanes flying under the aurora last night, I had my other camera taking stills. Here's 1661 stills connected covering 55 actual minutes. The bright, fast moving streaks are the airplanes. I sped this up faster than normal because we all have swiping to do.

We are at that time of year when journalists write holiday stories: evergreen pieces that could theoretically run whenever an editor wanted. These stories are often ridiculous and glorious. I flex my writer muscles on them.

Free shot. Pitch the Guardian a story you wouldn't expect me to swing on.

This group is trying to prevent a church from building supportive housing for elderly disabled homeless residents.

People this heartless should not be taken seriously at any level.
Here is the website NIMBYs have set up to oppose a Permanent Support Housing project in Kirkwood. They would rather people sleep in the freezing temperatures outside than see this development be built on church property.

On the highway, keep right except to pass (which means passing on the right of slowpokes is absolutely allowed)
Do you have a firmest belief?

I’m texting a friend who just said “X is my firmest belief,” and I don’t mind telling you he sent me into an existential vortex of disbelief and non-meaning because I do not know what the hell my firmest belief is.

Our power bills are way too high, but we can do something about it! Vote for Peter Hubbard and Alicia Johnson for the PSC board to remind our elected officials that they should be working for us, not corporations and special interests.

A pedestrian attempts to safely cross Piedmont Avenue at a marked crosswalk, outside a Publix grocery store. Multiple cars fail to stop.

You can stand at this spot and watch this same scene play out over and over.

This is the most thoughtful and moving interview with a unicorn you'll ever see. (I'm serious!)
“We’re here peacefully protesting, looking as ridiculous as we can, just so maybe we appeal to the president because he’s a ridiculous leader that is normalizing abuse of power. And we cannot stand and act like nothing is happening.” 🦄

Yes! Glad to see Louisville as semi-midwestern (it’s true)
This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

At this point, it doesn't matter what justification they provide for Link's suspension, the fact of the matter is that the BlueSky team has demonstrated a wanton disregard for their own commitments to user moderation by deploying suspensions in response to what they take to be personal slights.
