A Lavonia, Georgia hospital getting out of the 'labor and delivery' business leaves four counties and those pregnant living in them an hour or more away from a still-functioning L&D facility. This is largely the result of Medicaid funding cuts (and I'd argue, Georgia never accepting Medicaid expansion funding since 2010). This is where I mention all four counties going overwhelmingly for Trump in 2024, 2020 and 2016. This doesn't occur in a "statewide race" vacuum,

Chanel Haley, deputy executive director at Georgia Equality, is frankly one of the lucky few in the trans community. Despite the long odds for navigating adolescence, coming out, transitioning and finding her way towards earning an education and occupational success, Chanel still faced bias and oppression along the way.She joined me today to weigh in on casually-made anti-trans statements made the Sunday before Charlie Kirk's assassination by two conservative pundits on FOX-5 / WAGA-TV's

On Sunday's 'Meet the Press,' Utah governor Spencer Cox likened social media to a 'cancer' on society, putting a lot of blame on social networking for gun deaths in the U.S. Listen, I know the inherent ills social media can deliver with swiftness, but he's focusing on the "circulatory system" delivering the tumors (bigotry, homophobia, misogyny, racism) and not the hatred itself. That troubles me.The right's reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk embodies

Talking Trash is a show to discuss movies that some people deem to be garbage, mediocre or just one that people never knew existed, we talk through the plot in spoiler fashion while asking "is this a bad movie?" And if not "what is the worst movie ever made?"It's September and we've started a two month battle between Dogs and Cats. August went to the dogs, and September is for the cats. To celebrate national cat month we are taking on 5 cat films. So this week we dive into our first cat film with a

In Episode 41, Debra and Peter start with a surprise escape story featuring Peter’s cat Hetti, but quickly turn to a much bigger theme: trust. From mischievous pets to newly promoted staff, they reflect on how leaders know when to let go and how to find the right balance between support and autonomy.Debra shares why she prefers hiring for potential rather than experience, and why the 50th anniversary of DSC is a good time to remember—and question—your founding principles.Then, a fiery segment on

Angela returns to the show after 1 week off with an update on the FLOK camera (license plate reader) controversy in Northern Arizona.

A kid in AZ gets suspended for writing what he called a joke that a school district took as a threat…but the “joke” was never emailed but flagged by A.I. before he deleted it. Ending with Olivia updating us on

Wednesday night, from the Oval Office, we were told "the left" is the source of all that's poisonous in our political discourse, ironically by one of the most venomous vitriolic pursed lips in American political history. Fast-forward to today when we awaken to those lips flapping on 'Fox & Friends' to reveal that "we have him," the shooting suspect in the Charlie Kirk assassination. What's noteworthy about that visit to the curved couch was when he had the

Charlie Kirk was a lightning rod ... of energy for the conservative base at the younger demographic the GOP sorely needed help with ... of controversy for those he targeted with his rhetoric ... and now, his assassination has exposed deep rifts within our society, empathetically, morally, politically and religiously.I, myself, didn't have a cogent response to share with anyone - for hours Wednesday afternoon. What I knew before he was killed hasn't changed much: he was anti-gay, vehemently

We finish off Camp Barstool week sore and in a great mood after the boys hung out in a cabin all week.

All the work (to his credit!) that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has done to make Georgia a green energy and electric vehicle manufacturing hub are slowly being undone by Trump 2.0 white nationalist tendencies. The recent Hyundai raid in southeast Georgia performed by ICE was launched to snag Latin American migrant workers but also - oops - ensnared Korean and Japanese visa waiver employees, putting strain on U.S.-Korean and Georgia-Korean relations. It also creates an unnecessary impediment towards

In this episode of Hard Refresh, host Andrés López-Varela is joined by Kirsty O’Connell (Senior Account Director, equ.) and Sophie Winter (National Manager, Content & Communities, Australian Wildlife Conservancy) to debate the promises and pitfalls of automation. From Meta’s AI gone wrong with a feral cat campaign for the Australian Wildlife Conservancy to the risks of handing brand safety over to

Atlanta's Sunday TV talk diet includes one local program - WAGA-TV/ Fox 's "The Georgia Gang." I watch it occasionally and happened to have some time Sunday to catch the most recent episode, and I'm furious but glad I caught it.Two pundits - Phil Kent and Martha Zoller - notably the right-wing participants, spewed anti-trans swipes, which I suppose should be unsurprising. That they did so with zero pushback from the show's moderator or the two left-wing participants,

Us too.Welcome to our Lost Episode Recap, where I, Callum (AKA Gaba) heroically attempt to reconstruct the chaos, carnage, and questionable decision-making of our vanished adventures. Expect dramatic retellings, wildly inaccurate memory checks, and fun poking at our world master GM,

In this episode, I kick things off with a story about my cats (especially Starshine) waking me up at 3AM to be fed and climbing all over me. From there, I go off on a rant about ChatGPT misgendering me, then pivot into the political—Trump, the National Guard, fascism, and why I believe he's a modern-day nazi.I also dive into Anthony Fantano's latest YouTube video about the flood of "mid" music and explore the idea of the long-tail era in music. To balance out the ranting, I share some new sounds: a
