CEO @grist. Uncompromising thought leadership on Atlanta sports teams.

Atlanta, GA
Narrator: It is.
The Kyle Pitts breakout happening in the final month of a contract year while the team is 4-9 would be deeply upsetting to me as a Falcons fan.

I don’t think it’s sufficiently appreciated how much the insular circles of the extremely online have fostered a generation of smart people talking about unworkable futures based on plausible but unhinged fan fictions about how the world actually works.

Big day at our house: @kieraevebutler’s 1st @MotherJones cover story is out and details the rise of the New Apostolic Reformation. In awe at my wife, who quickly churned out this piece after a whirlwind trip to Lancaster Co, PA, last month. Read it! motherjones.com/politics/202…

Blue Ridge Public Radio too. And remember these journalists are reporting while still without power and with their and their families' homes possibly damaged or destroyed. Support them. bpr.org/
Local news outlets in the region flooded by Helene are producing indispensable service journalism. Right now the top stories on the Asheville Citizen-Times home page include "where to get gas, groceries, wifi, water" and "how to stay safe during boil water advisory"

Sadness. May his excellent cooking blog, cummerbund guitar strap, lording over the poker tables at All Tomorrow's Parties festivals, and of course, his scowl live on. pitchfork.com/news/steve-alb…

They’d have told him if they thought he could keep a secret.
Spoke to Mike McCartney, the agent for Kirk Cousins. He said the only heads up the Falcons gave Cousins about picking Michael Penix was a call while the team was on the clock. He'd just signed a four-year deal for $180 million, the first two of which are fully guaranteed.

As one of his top apologists throughout his career, congrats to @M_Ryan02 on a what should be a Hall-of-Fame resume. Fingers crossed he doesn’t become the @AtlantaFalcons @DaleMurphy3—who everyone knows should totally be in Cooperstown.
BREAKING: Matt Ryan, who put up Hall of Fame-worthy numbers over his stellar career with the Atlanta Falcons but came up heartbreakingly shy of a Super Bowl championship, announced his retirement as a player Monday. wabe.org/former-atlanta-falc…
