2. Unlike Iowa, New Hampshire is filled with the moderate, suburban Independent voters that Trump lost ground with after 2016. Last night, they turned out in droves to vote against Trump. A huge flashing red light amidst all of the triumphalism.

Omg thanks, Ginger! We’re all incredibly proud.

Water For Elephants at the @alliancetheatre is one of the best new musicals I’ve seen in a very long time. The cast is incredible, the music is memorable, and the storytelling is incredibly moving! Definitely five stars would see again!

@ninaturner This article just warns against projecting human characteristics and feelings onto orcas… I don’t think Stern is trying to place more value in a boat.

If we can’t put density on a state rd w/ 50,000 cars/day & in walking distance of 2 MARTA stations, the BeltLine, & the PATH & on a well-used bus route & w/ retail/restaurants right there in a city that desperately needs housing, where are we allowed to put density in Atlanta?

[Atlanta City Council @atlcouncil]

Legislation was recently approved that authorizes contributions totaling $2.8 million in district-specific dollars from several Council members to Park Pride for park improvements across #Atlanta, including a $1 million donation from @lilianaforATL for upgrades in District 5.

@atlurbanist Yes! It’s so fun. And that pedestrian bridge-to-be? 🥰

[Thomas D. Powell @ArtsUrbanist]

@norgepab @HowEPhil Ya’ll, I love that all of Urbanist ATL Twitter has posted a photo of this development 🥹 ya’ll make me smile.

[Thomas D. Powell @ArtsUrbanist]

😂 Are we even surprised at this point? We should just change the name to NIMBY Park.

Neighbors are calling increased density plans for this 14th Street development "excessive." https://t.co/ClNVPSOGPZ

Early voted today at the Ponce Library. Was instructed to fill out an “In-person Absentee Ballot Application” before voting in-person at the precinct. Does anyone know why? @Cannonfor58 @SenNanOrrock @ReverendWarnock @GaSecofState @GovKemp

Elon-Twitter is a distraction.

FTX is a distraction.

The only story that you should be paying attention to right now is the United States vs China situation.

Here's a primer on what's going on:

I just want @taylorswift13 to know that that she’s the best and these past two days haven’t even made a dent in my appreciation for her music. There’s a lot of negativity right now. I hope you don’t take it personally, girl.

@ATL311 Street light strobing in Inman Park Duck Pond. Not sure who to report it to.

This is better than 3 parked cars.

@NPR just aired a SPICY 🌶 segment covering the failure of public education policy to protect our children during the height of the pandemic. “Donald Trump got everything wrong…except this.”
